Darwin, the tireiess investigator of nature and

fate of medicines as in that of the animal

s2 The cry against the banking institu,
fions of the country as grinding mo

commentary in the late action of the
Bank Of Commerce, of New York. An
institution of the high est standing and
largest resources, it has formally deter.
mined to reduce its capital from $40, :

that the current business does not justi.
fy'the bank In paying the heavy taxa
tion on SO large a capital eiii 'ia $50.
+ In connection with this action of the
Bank of Commerce, the following, from
an article In the Bankers Magazine for
June, just at hand, will be of Interest
as pretaining TO the view ofthe subjeci
taken by the banking interests: syHd
The National banking system was
proposed to Congress, by Secretary
Chase, during the war, for two pur-
poses. First with a view to secure
uniform currency to take the place OF
the heterogeneous and miscellaneous
bank note circulation issued under the
authority of the United Ststes, and,
secondly, to furnish market for
United States tonds, so as to enable the
Government to fund its war debt. The
latter is unquestioHably the most inn
portant of the two. To secure that OBJ.
st while the nation was under the
strain of wsgaI. the banks previously ip
operation relinqdisked their corporate
existence as State institutions. and en-
tered into new relations under tilel
National Currency Law. Very soon,
however, the banks found themselves
subject te two forms OF taxation instead
OF the one previously imposed upon
them. To the State taxes were added
