National Bank Issues.

General SPINNER, Treasurer OF the United
States, has recently written a letter in
which he declares IL 10 be his opinion that
the notes of the National Banks IN case of
their failure. He asserts that this liability
is established in two provisions of the Bank
law, one of which makes the notes of the
Banks receivable for all public dues except
customs; the other provides that in case of
default by the Bank the bonds deposited
for its circulation shall be forfeited to the
United States, and that "for any deficiency
in the proceeds Of the bonds pledged by
such association, the United States shall
have first and paramount lien upon all
assets of such association. The making of
the Bank notes n legal tender for Govern
ment dues Is alone sufficient TO cover the
whole question; and the provision that the
Government shall have prior lien upon
the assets of the Bank, TO make up any de-
flciency in the avails of the securities for
redemption, can have no rational purpose
but to make the Government liable for re-
demption in fun" After this statement
the Treasurer continues:
THE Government virtually undertakes
that its six per cent gold Understanding
bonds-and any other of its bonds made of
equivalent value, deposited by National
Banks TO secure the redemption of their
circulating notes, shall not depreciate more
than the difference between such par value
OF the bonds at which they are received
and the lesser amount of circulating notes
issued to the Bank thereon, and that il they
do, the Government guarantees to make
good the deficiency to the noteholder. IL
agrees to redeem all such notes from its
own funds In the Treasury at par, and this,
too, whether the securities deposited for
that purpose, with the sums that may be
afterward realized from the assets of the
said defaulting banks, shall be sufficient or
not. In other words, the Governmentaioes
not act in the capacity of joint trustee of
the National Banks and the holders of their
notes to pay the latter such sums as it may
realize from the sales of the securities OF
the former; that it stands as the perfectly
secured indorser of every circulating note
issued by Il National Bank"

He ran through the darkness to a remote

Direct Taxation.

by the Constitution OF the United States
direct taxes are apportioned among, or as
sessed upon the States according to popu1
lation. The Missouri Republican shows
how the provision works: 4iu So T,uo
BY the census of 1860 the population of
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land was ascertained 10 be 1855, S33; and
that of illinois and Missouri, 2S93 983., The
assessed wealth of the three States first
NAMED is set down at 81, ,2d3, ,499.097; that of
the last two States at 1855, l43,223 Yet, in
the apportionment Of taxes, the last two
Illinois and Missonri-had imposed on
them u tax of $l.907, ,67s; while the three
New England States were put down for
only 81, ,249,75S. Tabulating the facts, the
exhibit stands thuslgeY rySyWTTL /
Three New England States g. 2is O97 81 Sts lbs
Two western .YlH- 656, ,i4ssS 1,oUS7s
What does this show ? Clearly that in
one set of States wealth twice ,ls large as
that in another set of States pays only two
thirds as much tax as the amount levied on
the poorer States. In other words 1t may
be stated that a man living in Illinois or
Missouri is taxed on every ~ 900 of prop
erty owned by him about three dollars,
while a man living In Massachusetts Is
taxed on the same amount of property only
about one dollar Any one can easily, with
the above figures before him, make the nee
essary calculation, and will find our state
ment TO be correct. i'N 't+
As we shall be compelled to 90 to direct
taxation again in less than two years TO
pay the interest on the public debt, this
feature des serves consideration t..t.t
