THE BANK QUESTION

The whole of the questions OF bank
taxes and of taking from the banks
the privilege of circulation, lies IN a
livery small nutshell. All warfare on
the banks is war upon the borrowers,
Ind must be paid by them, and by
them levied Oh the community. Tax
rs on bank capital, deposits or loans
must be levied by the banks on their
borrowers, and by them on their Gus
tomers. The only privilege when
the national banks have is the Priv
lege ofissueing circulating notes. For
this they have to secure them by oe-
posit of bonds. For this they endure
che various taxes the government has
piled on them. If the privilege oi
Circulation be taken away, they VIII
have no consideration for continuing
us national banks. They can return
their notes. get back their bondS, anu
thus have more money means Ihal
low. Thus can throw of all the ma
Gional taxes. They can reorganlze as
private banks with the same means.
ind by this, and by the facility OIL
transmitting all their money INTO
sreenbacks at stated times, can eS-
cape most of the state taxes, as our
private bankers do. Thus the war on
.he banks is more a war of the people
bn themselves. 1t is carried on by
lemagogues, who either know noun
ng, or who designedly trade on the
Ignorant.-Cincinndttl Gdzette.
This is simply contemplate as
veil as contradictory. 1t says the
rational banks are burthened with
axes; then says they always share 1t
over to borrowers and the borrowers
20 their customers. This last being
rue the banker of course cares MOTH
lng for the tax. 1t is true that they
charge it over to the people and In adj
lition charge an immense sum when
bhe bank pockets as profits ana as the
people pay the tax anyhow they are
concluding to dispense with the bank
-br'S profit and the tax too, and turn
5he public debt into the shape OF
small convertible bonds and when
they need currency to turn these bonds
into the treasury and turn currency
out into the channels of trade, which
will relieve the people of an enormous
toad they are carrying, which is rum
ing them and doing their country no
good.
The private banks to-day pay pre-
;isely the same tax that the national
10 with one exception, that is one per
cent. upon circulation outstanding.
The threat that they will 90 into
private banking is good. Tet them

You have taken upon yourself quite
an assumption leaving your post of

question in that way by Il man of your

There was time in your political
