we have had hardships, but when they

gratitude for fayors he has received,
aud in so doing he does no more than
his duty. 1t is reasonable to expec.
that most of the attaches of Howards

THE TAXES on BANKS.

The national banks present the curl
Gus spectacles of corporations general
y regarded as pampered monopolies,
whichare trying o give up their pfivile
ses, and have very good reasons for
doing so. According to official &C
counts, seventy-one banks have gone
into voluntary liquidation within the
,ast two years, which is more than
half the number that had taken a like
course during the previous ten years
since the passage of the Banking law.
The same account shows that, with
loans amounting to 1891, SOFIA on
rhs I'd of October, 1876. the national
banks reported that the, had marked
off the total losses during the year
ending Sept. 1, 1876, of S19, 719, 020, or
very nearly two per cent. on the loans
outstanding at the end of the year.
On the other hand, the earnings for
she same period were, for the first six
months. 8. SO per cent and for the sec
ond six months only 325 per cent. of
their capital and surplus. Iti is gener-
ally supposed, however, that the cir
culation of the banks is a specia,
source of profit. Without going into
any detailed analysis to show precisely
what the gains and expenses from cir
culation are, we beg to call the atten-
ton of our readers to the fact that the
banks between Jan. IA 1875, and Nov.
1, 1876, surrendered their notes, or de
posted United States notes, to enable
them to retire their own to the amount
of s51, 621, 67s.
Here, then, we see banks surrender
ing their charters; other banks report
ing heavy losses; banks surrenderipg,
or preparing to surrender, more than
one-seventh part of the entire circula-
ton Of the country, and the whole
body of banks reporting average earn
ing of less than the legal rate of inter-
est. If we ask the reason of this, we
shall be told that, in addition to other
causes, which are common to all busi
ness, the banks labor under peculiar

1T cannot be 100 frequently or i'm,
pressiveiy affirmed that education is
the chief moulding Do,Cer IF nations, "a
of individuals. As "a man is what he
is pTtncipally through education," so
nations, which are but aggregations of
individuals, must shape their charac
tiers through wise and generous edu
cation of their children and youth.
What is the testimony of history as to
the potency of this power? Everybody
knows to what dire extremities Prussia
was reduced by the wars of the frs;
Napoleon. 1t is well known that at
the battle of Jena, i'm 1916, her whole
military force was annihilated; that
within weekthereafter ev. ry scattered
division of her army fell into the hands
of the enemy: that the conqueror took
up his quarters at BerliL, emptied the
arsenal, and stripped the capital of its
art treasures; that by the treaty of
Tilsit the Prussian King was deprived
of halt of his dominions; that a French
army, two hundred thousand strong,
was quartered upon his resources until
the end of the year 1908; that Napol-
eon exacted of Prussia hundred and
twenty millions of francs after her
principal sources of income had been
appropriated by him, either himself or
allies; that to meet these exactions,
loans were made, while her own armies
must be recreated, bridges rebuilt, and
ruined Notifications repaired, and
that SO great was the public extremity
that the Prussian ladies sent their or
naments and jewels to supply the roy
al treasury.

Disadvantages as regards taxation of
I-ir capital and their business. or
lla currertuess of this statement there
can be no doubt. Banks are tempting
,ubj-cts for taxation under the present
Law. Their resources are known accu
rateIy by the Government. Their bust
ness is reported regularly. They are
compelled to do everything, so to speak,
in the light of day, and they can not
easily eyade or transfer any burden
which the Government may see fit to
lay upon them. If they are ovei taxed,
their sole remedy is TO contract or to
surrender their business. So far as
Federal taxation is concer' ed they can
not run away from it, or deceive the
authorities regarding its basis, or resort
to any of the devices which other cor
porations, under color of the law, often
practice with great success. And it is
hardly materially different as regards
State taxation for bank depends so
largely on the good will of those who
are acquainted with it, and on person
al familiarity by its managers with its
customers. that he can not change its
place of business from one State to
another, as manufacturing or even
a trading corporation can.
Under these circumstances, the
movement for reduction of taxation
on banks, which resulted in the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday, is not an unreasonable one, and
ought to have weight With the Nation
al and State Legislatures. Our read
ers are already familiar with th" "a
that the New York banks are r. ucina
their capital and their surplu Ac-
cordipg to Mr.. Gustav Schawb L.,
500, 900 of such reduction has ALREADY
been made, and it is his opinion that
the tendency in this direction is in-
creasing in force. and is likely to carry
the banking capital below the point
indicated by the shrinkage of business.
This world, of course, be a misfortune,
and no5 bank officers alone, have token
the matter in hand.-Ne,c York

THE STUDY OF TUE DICTIONARY.

DIR. John S. Hart. in an excellent
lecture TO teachers, says: "A well
thumbed dictionary is one of the inva-
'iable signs of good teacher. One of
the best teachers ever knew, used TO
be notorious TO- travelling about her
class rooms with a Webster's una
bridged under her arms. In q State
Normal School, with which | am &C
quainted, in the study room of those
preparing TO be teachers, Webster's
unabridged lies upon the table, and SO
constant is the reference to it, that the
book has to be rebound every two or
rbree years"
This is verT good evidence of the
usefulness Of Webster to teachers, but
DIR. Hart might have gone further. il
rhe scope of this subject would have
permitted and spoken effectively upon
the value of the dictionary as school
room study. 1t has been found by
those who have given it practical
test, that a regular systematic course
in the study of definitions, synonyms
and etymologies, 10 say nothing of or.
biography, affords better results in
elementary training in the English Ian.
guage than any o. her method that can
be adopted, and the best teachers are
giving more and more attention TO this
course, and are substituting the die
IioDary for the old fashioned and most
-enerally impracticable spoilers and
definers.
There is probably no other branch
of literary education of equal import
ance, that has been SO neglected or
imperfectly taught as defining no
other that now has such demands upon
the attention of teachers. It is often
astonishing and grievous to see how
grossly ignorant are the children and
youth, and even men and women, of
the meaning of important words and
phrases-an ignorance which in gener.
al they are very far from feeling or
mistrusting. They cannot express their
thoughts for the want of words. and
often they express thoughtsver differ.
ent from what they intend, because
they do nor understand the words they
employ. And very frequently from the
same cause, they take no idea, or
wrong ideas, from what they read
and hear. Probably more than three
fourths of the disputes that have troub
led the world have arisen from the
ignorance or misapprehension of words
The remedy for these evils is in
training the pupil in the study of
words, by the use of the dictionary,
and this training should begin as soon
as the child can distinguish between
one word and another, and continue
throughout the whole educational
period.
