BanIk.TaxattOn.

There is q very prevalent error about the
favors shown to national banks, when the
fact Is the Government taxes them heavily
in every way. We saw the other day, in
the announcement O. candidate for office,
the assertion made that the Government
furnishes the currency to national banks
and charges them nothing for printing it.
This is 4 mistake. 1t also taxes circulation
and deposits, which, together With State
and corporation taEc>, amount to heavy
aggregate, and prevent much-necded
reduction OF the rate OF interest, eSpe-
cially in the South, where currency Is not
as plenty as it is at the North. The
taxes of one national bank OF 100000 capt.
tai, in this city, aggregate over $1,000 per
annum; and so long as this shall be the case
we cannot hope to see the rate OF interest
down to six per cent, which ought to be
enough Being borrower sometimes, and
anxious to see the rate OF interest reduced,
and being moreover fully convinced that no
business can stand ten per cent. for any con-
siderable loans, we ardently desire to see a
material reduction in the rate Of discounts
to point that will relieve the terrible pres
sure that is imposed on borrowers, the effect
Of which, as we all see about us, is to crush
businessmen when they become embarrasa
ed and have to borrow much money at high
rates.
We want more mone-, and at less cost
for " the use and forbearance OF it," as the
legal phrase is; but it cannot be had by
taxing the national banks out OF existence,
or by inducing them to give up their cur
rency, as many have done, and thereby les
sen, in every such case, the volume OF cur
rency, to the detriment OF the business in
terests Of the country.

One OF the worst features OF the cheap
money rage is the teaching OF the masses
that there is better and Il surer way TO get
money than by earning It.
One person advances the idea that to
make money cheap to the borrower It IS
only necessary to issue greenbacks enough
to cancel the debt, and then cancel the
debt. The volume of currency thus UNI
loosed, he thinks, would seek Investment
at TWO or three per cent. "Let it," says
this person, "go into the market precisely
as the farmers wheat goes in.'' 1t would
undoubtedly go into the market as an
immense surplus Of wheat would go in, and
fine effect OF it upon the money would be
similar to the effect upon wheat by a
swamped market. Were this PERSONS idea
to be realized a greenback dollar would be
worth about twenty-five cents, and the
happy borrower OF Il thousand dollars ut
three per cent. would simply pay three
cents for the use OF twenty-five cents. He
would borrow cheapy, and he would get
what he might eXpect-very cheap money

Saws statesman who has been nominated
for Congress by the greenbackcrs: a
greenback as legal tender is the next thing
to hard money. 1t stands for it, and in its
place. What does Il bank debt stand for
but the absence Of specie? What bank re-
deems, or ever has redeemed, or has any
purpose 10 redeem?
How does greenback happen to be the
next thing to hard money, If, as the green
hackers propose, it is never TO be redeemed
in hard money, or in anything else? How
can it stand for hard money, in the view OF
any graenbacIer, when 1t is forever diSSo-
ciated from hard money, and is never in the
rcmotest manner to have any connection
with hard money? II made permanently
irredeemable, as the grecnbackcrS propose,
it will. indeed. stand in place OF hard
money in all domestic transactions as long
as anybody will take it as an equivalent for
anything else. for the simple reason that
hard money will be altogether too aristo-
cratic to associate with it. But it will not
in any sense stand for hard money until it
is rcdeemablc in hard money, aS it soon Will
be, in spite OF the efforts Of Sam Cary,
Tom Ewing, and teir heterogeneous fol-
lowing. -r
a bank.note, under a sound specic-pay-
ing system, stands for specie. 1t is prom
Use to pay specie on demand; and ii the
system under which it is issued is toerabe,
it will be redeemed on demand, as in Eng
land, France, Germany, Holland, and else
where. 1t circulates at par with specie
because it is rcdeemable i'll specie, and
because the holder is assured that he
can get the specie for it on demand.
A bank-note under our system stands
for grecnback, because 1t is re-
deemabe in greenback. 1t circulates
ut par with the greenback because the hold
er knows he can get the greenback for it
without much trouble. Eliminate the green
back from the system, and make the note
redecmable in specie, and the note will
stand for specie, because it will be redeem
able in specie, and redemption can be en-
forced. 1t will be secured by a bond worth.

10 the Editors of the Dispatch:

Dear Sirs,-In your editorial notice OF my
note published in your issue OF the 22d in
slant YOU invite me to join you in endeavor-
ing to neutralIze the efforts Of certain
.slewd fellows of the baser sort" who seek
to work mischief in this glorious OLD COM
monwealth by sowing the seeds or COM
munism. So much has been said on the
subject that it is but repetition win
change OF phraseology at this date. But II,
from INV MACE in the ranks, can say any
thing to strengthen the hands OF those ar
rayed in opposition 10 anarchy and fighting
to maintain the honor of our State, shall
deem myself most happy. I will not ad-
dress myself to those who are recognized Ey
their teachings as repudiationists, for they
do not these things in ignorance-they
know better, and are wifully prostituting
their talents to entirely selfish ends. They
would not be famous il they were not infa-
nous. say that will not address myself
to them because 1 will not "give that which
is holy unto dogs" neither will I "cast
pearls before swine." Pearls-truths-
they knowingly, wiliully trampIe under
foot. Honor-holy bonor-they cannot
appreciate. But should like to show how
contemplate, base, and pernicious are the
doctrines which they teach, and, with your
help, will endeavor so to do as opportunity
shall offer. Yours truly, e. B. S.
PSI had supposed that I was done
with the discussion about the currency, but
/ find that in some way failed to say what
I intended to say In my article published in
your issue of the Goth instant. In speaking
OF national banks as places of deposit did
not intend to say that the State institutions
were safer, but merely to say that they were
as safe. The national banks, in every
newspaper article written in support Of the
system, claim that the clause making stock
holders liable to twice the amount Of their
subscription gives depositors additional Sc
curity. I only wanted to show; and con-
yict the banks by the testimony Of one Of
the fraternity, that that clause really afforded
no additional security. The attempt to
show that depositors in State institutions
have sustained heavier losses than the
denositors In national banks Is but an
other evidence of the tricks 10 which
the national banks have to resort to
hide from the people the truth. The
losses to depositors in State institu-
itions, properly :lc'soion as banks, have not
been as large as the losses to depositors in
national banks for the same period. The
fearful losses of members OF cooperative as
sociations, known as savings banks, s0ithons

One fact Is worth q dozen theories; alld
there are facts in abundance which are q
complete answer to oil the f,onsensicai talk
that the greenbaek lunaties can utter on the
subject Of paper money. There is in the
United Statss Of paper currency about four
times as much now as there was seventeen
wears ago. This is a.concIusiye answer TO
those disturbers Of the public peace who
tell the people that during the last fifteen
years the money -ring has controlled the le-
gislation Of the country and reduced the
amount OF currency. There is not word
of truth Ia such assertions. They are made
either In ignorance OF the facts, or with
deliberate purpose to deceive the voters.

LYNCH LAW IN PRINCE GEoRGE's,-Early
on Monday morning party of masked men
broke open the jail at Upper Marlborough,
Prince Georges county, Md, and took from
his cell Michael Green, cOlored, whom they
hanged to n tree near the town, for assault
ing Miss Alice Sweeney. The crime was one
of peculiar atrocity and the details are too
revolving for publication. The young lady
lived some miles north of Marlborough, and
on Monday of last week upon going to the
spring, about two hundred yards from the
house, the negro wayaid her, and despite her
appeals for mercy and struggles to escape bru
tally outraged her. Miss Sweeney is n beautiful
girl of nineteen, of high social standing and
belle of the ncighborhood She is engaged to
be married, and the wedding was to have TIA
ken place in the approaching autumn. She
was left unconscious by her assailant, but nj
length she made her way to her home.
Green was arrested the following day and
Miss Sweeney positively identified him. He
had narrow escape from lynching mt the
time, but was lodged in Jail. After midnight
Sunday night the jailer was aroused by II
band of masked men, who demanded admis-
sion, but he refused and without speaking n
word, with sledge hammers and crow bars
they forced their way into the corridor. The
cell door was quickly burst open and Green
was found crouching on the floor dumb with
terror. He was heavily manacled, but one
of the lynchers, who appeared to be n black.
smith, advanced from the crowd, and with
hammer and cold chisc soon freed him from
his shaclllcs. A rope was thrown around
his neck, and he was hurried out of the Jail
to grove near the town. Before being
drawn up to tho tree he confessed the out
rage. His body was allowed to lang until
six o'clock Monday morning, when the au-
thorties held an inquest, the verdict being,
Found hanged by parties unknown"
The lynchers were evidently of the best
classes and their action seems to have met
with the unqualified approval of Tie entire
community, white and colorcd. Green's
body was removed to Jail, but his friends re-
fused to take charge of it and it was buried
in the Jail yard.
