She did not pray 10 be taken away 10 bliss

means that the National banks pay. They
pay the State, county and local taxes,
whatever they are, in every part Of the
country. FOr'instance, in Wheeling our
taxes have averaged / ] per cent, and this
rate has been levied every year on the
following amounts Of National banking
capital, viz, the
Merchants National, 100000 nt lIa,""""S55,gl.@o
National Bank Of VIVA. 10000 ,......... l,Ng
National Savings Bank, 10000 " ........". 2,2O
$4,000
Thus, out Of the four National Banks
that formerly existed in this city, the
State Of West Va, the county Of Ohio,
and the city Of Wheeling annually de.
rived revenue, among them, Of $4,000.
Now, we venture to say that they do not
derive from the three banks that have
gone into the State system, 'one.hnlf-
yea, not One.third-not 0ne-fourth-not
one.lifth-Of the revenue that they form.
erly derived from thenl We think 1t
not unlikely that the share capital Of the
only remaining National Bank in this
city pays now, Of itself alone, more taxes
to the State, county and city, than all
our city State banks put together Wcdo
not make this stStement as other
than matter Of conjecture, but II ia not
likely to be far out Of the way.
The rate Of taxation Is low In Wheeling
ascompnred with most Of the cities OF the
country. The returns for 1873 show the
following rates in the cities named, viz;
New York, 50 so; Boston; 50 81; Balti-
more, 81 52; Cincinnati, 81 81; Chicago,
50 81; 81. Lonis, 50 A; Richmond, $2O7;
81. Paul, 50 90; Charleston, 50 80; Mem.
phis, SO 20; Buffalo, Albany and Troy, 4
to 8 per cent.
Now, in all these cities, the Nationul
banks have paid these rates Of taxation.
It's saidthnt, throughout the country, the
average Of taxes, including National
State, county and municipali fs ~ per

According to the returns Of the Nation.
