The Hon. Freeman Clarke presents q q
| compact statement of the years work. The I
report is accompanied by about l4O pages
OF statistics, relating mainly to the, condi-g
tion of the National banks. Since the last
annual report. 2S3 new banks have been or
ganiZed, and 73l State banksconvefted into
National. Whole number of National banks
to Nov. l, is l6Ol, of which go were new, d
and 922 22conversions from State institutions.
| Two banks have failed. The result OF the
conversion has been ratherto diminish than
10 increase the circulation. National bank
notes In circulation Oct. L,were Sl7L32l,-
! 003; State banks, $7S,S67575; legal tender
and fractional currency, $70l5S4, ,65S. In
Guiding bank notes not issued, the whole
amount Of the nominal circulation at that
date was $l,0s3 Asa 233; from which the
Controller makes large deductions In order
70 arrive at the actual circulation. Ma
tional bank notes not delivered 70 banks are
500 152,945; legal tender held by banks,
Sl93 09t3G5; compound interest notes, \
mostly held as investments, Sl2l ,3l4l95;

no longer existing. resumption OF specie
payments should ensue at the earliest pos
sible moment. AS one step toward it, the
tariff should be so adjusted as TO discourage
inOrdinate importations; increasing the
tariff as gold aud foreign exchange recede
in price. Internal taxation at the same
time should be simpliiied. In addition
TO $120000,000 from the tariff. the Cou-
troller's estimates are $l00000000 on whis-
ky, malt liquors, and domestic wines; Sl5,-
0O0000 on tobacco $l25,000000 on cotton;
$l5.000000 from stamps; S20000000 from
licenses; no 000000 from premiums on SUR
plus of gold in the aggregate $l050O0,000,
a sum probably $l000000 600 in excess of
expenses, the whole or part of which could :
go to the yearly reduction of the debt, By
restricting the Internal revenue tax to Il
few articles the cost of its collection would
be greatly diminished. and dissatisfaction
with the law be abated. The Controller
protests warmly against all schemes of
State taxation of National securities as
violation of public faith, and proposes the
transfer of the bureauwhich he administers
from Washington to New York, as demand
ed by economy and cOnvenience.-N. Y.
