THE CAPITAL OF TIE NATIONAL BANKS

THE CAPITAL OF THE NATIONAL BANKS
The German Gazette calls attention in
an ar ticle of some length to the fact that
the capital stock of the national banks of
this city have never been assessed for
taxatio Neither the State nor city as
SCISSORS have ever called upon these insti-
tutions to contribute their, share to sustain
the burdens Of the government, and yet
they are all enjoying the protection of the
laws which they receive free of expense to
them. The Gazette shows that these insti-
buttons are not exempted from taxation
by the laws of Congress, but does not say
whether or not they are able to plead
State enactment as immunity. But we may
assume that there is no such law, as under
the recent ruling Of the Supreme Court in
the Salamander Insurance Company and
other cases, the Legislature has no au-
thority to discriminate in favor of cor
porations established for business pur-
poses. The capital stock Of the national
banks of New Orleans aggregates about
four millions, which, if properly assessed,
would yield a revenue to the State of
$751; 900, and to the city of 100000. For
past years it would have been consider
ably more, as there has been consider
able reduction in the rate of taxation,
in all to twelve mills in the
dollar. The State and city treasures are
very much in want Of every dollar that
can be legally and equitably collected,
and banks are the last species of property
that should be permitted to escape. AS
it requires no change in the laws or Or
it is only necessary to call the
attention Of the assessors to the subject in
order that the emissions, if there really
are any, may be supplied.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-26

Of the people? If the hope in the people
suffer, whats1ight can there be in less
number to deprive the greater Of suffrage.
because one man may choose to say Of
two Others, "These fellows are corrupt and
incompetent, therefore I will take from
them their right Of self-government?" The
Picayune abandons the whole ground
upon which republicanism and democracy
have been based. 1t annuls the right of
the majority to govern because the minor
ity may pronounce the majority in
competent. We suppose there has never
been a period in the history of free gov
eminent where some adherent of mon
archy, or some infdel of human capacity
for self-government would not have said,
and has not said the same thing of the
majority, yet it has never been held to
disprove the supreme justice of the major
ity, nor to exonerate the minority from its
obligation to obey the will of the majority
as set forth in its legislation and ex-
pounded by its judicatures. The ruling
of a majority may be bad. 1t has often
been SO, but it remains upon expert
ment to be better than the rule of any
form of minority. The best proof
of this fact is that forty millions of people
in America, most of whom in person or
by descent have quilted the government
of monarchs, prefer the government of
majority as better after all. The history
of ages proves this. But the fallacious
rea soning of the Picayune consists in its
assuming ignorance and incompetence as
a consequence of majority. While the |
majority should, in our opinion, govern |
everywhere, we by no means affirm the |
universal competency Of every majority to !
govern well. There might be commu-
nifty of conyicts. The greater number |
may have committed theft. Very well,
the consequences of their crime and in |
competence will fall upon them. But |
with the obvious fact that the character
of the majority will be impaired to the
government which they elect, comes the
obligation upon all who may choose to
live under that government, to educate
and improve that majority, and SO make
it competent to exercise the great right of
self government good or bad, the great
right of expatriation reserved to all, every
one has right to remain under major
ty which he deems bad and endeavor to
make it competent, or to go to some other
'orm of government Or community which
ne likes better.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-26
PERVERTED REPUBLICANS,

The Picayune is not always logical. 1t
contends that Republican is not bound
to obey the government of majority.
How is this proven? By assuming that
a majority may be 'snotoriously, morally
and intellectually incompetent to exer-
else political rights" The fundamental
doctrine Of republicanism is, that the
representative must be the choice Of the
majority. Good or bad, that majority is
entitled to govern in republic. The
doctrine OF the Picayu,ae is that a mi-
nority has right to pronounce on the
competency Of the majority. Thus un-
consciously it adopts the doctrine that a
number Of individuals less than major
ity have the right to determine the action
of the majority. "Ultra Democrats, saws
the Ptcayllne 'have sometimes gone
so far as to insist that even the
ignorance of the masses should
be represented in republic. We have
no idea that any one ever contended for
ignorance as basis of representation,
nor do we suppose that any one ever claim
ed that Ignorance and immortality should
control and direct the government" That
such may be the consequences of the right
OF the majority to rule is no proof that the
doctrine Of majority rule is wrong. five
argued upon an illogical deduction from
agreed premises, we might assume that
the government of one man or of the best
men, or Of the most pious and orthodox
men was failure, because each of their
minority powers has in turn contributed
its ignorance, its wickedness and its
cruelty, in higher degree than any
government of the majority ever
did. The Picaya,e may take the
history Of this form of government and
it will find our words true. Man has
turned by compulsory experience from
forms to the majority form of |
government, and found it the best and
most just. If majority be virtuous, the
greater number Of human beings share in
its blessings. If the majority be evil the
wrong, falls upon the majority itself. |
In community says the Picayuae,
''in which the majority is VIGOROUSLY and |
confessedly6 inceppetent,s intellectually
and morally qcosdnss ths government
and to msl nm, true Democ.
racy and reason alike condemn such
,,1frraCe" What na,no.,,A . d.
