into national associations. Subsequently,
on March 3, 1865, an act was passed which
provided "that every national banking as
ISOLATION, State bank, or State banking as
ISOLATION, shall pay tax Of ten per centum
on the amount OF notes Of any State bank
or State banking association, paid out by
them after the first day of July, 1885," AS
soon as it became apparent that this bill,
in effect taxing out Of existence the
State bank notes, would become law,
the State banks of New York, New
England, and Of other States, surrendered
their old organizations and entered into
the national system; not because they pre-
ferred it to those under which they haa ior
MANY years conducted successful Dust
ess, but either because they foresaW mat
the banks in the national system would, IN
the future, possess higher character thah
that of other similar institutions. or because,
having, always had the privilege Of issuing
circulating notes, they desired to retain that
privilege, The strong banks, with their
large surplus and deposits and loans,' do
not ask for change; but others, compris-
ing a large class, not so fayorably located
nor so prosperous, would welcome again

vision. 9'r" E..
The national banks, as class, are by no
means enthusiastic advocates OF the national
system, as is implied the assertions OF
those who proclaim that these banks will
form combination or union for its defence
at any hazard. The capital stock OF the
banks is distributed largely among members
Of all political parties, and, as rule, is free
from the control OF partisan influence. No
formidable combination OF national banks
can be organized to save the national-bank
act from repeal. On the contrary, it will
be found that large numbers OF them Will
quietly acquiesce in such repeal, provided
they shall be satisfied that the old State
systems are certain to be revived. Bills
for the repeal Of the act OF March 3, 1865,
which taxed the State bank circulation out
OF existence, have been already introduced
in Congress, speeches favoring this measure
have, during: The late canvass, been made
by representatives Of many different States.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter has this to
say of the industry of which 1t is an organ :
There are significant indications on every
hand that the merchants Of our trade are res.
olutely bent on adhering to the conservative
policy which they have been pursuing for
some months past. The propensity to force
business urnaturally seems TO have received a
very effective check in all quarters. The tam
ners have had some painful experiences of
the perils consequent upon excessive produc-
tion, and some of those who have hitherto
rushed in with an impetuosity that nothing
could restrain evince commendable DISPOSE
ton to act with moderation and caution.
We have evidences of this change of feeling
in the tranquil condition of the hide market,
which has been remarkably free tor several
weeks from those spasms of preternatural
activity which have made an exhaustive drain
upon the capital Of the men who were lured
into the extensive purchases of them. The
season is drawing to close. Sixty days
from now the time will be over for working in
dry hides with safety. There will be enough
to supply all demands meanwhile, and some
to spare. There is not the slightest occasion
for uneasiness but that all parties will be able
to get as many as they can possibly want, and
more than they will probably need. If the
dealers do not have their own way for the
brief remainder of the spring it will be no.
body's fault but their own. They realize, by
the disastrous results of the sales they are
making now, what mistake it was to pay
the prices they did last fall, and how much
loss they would have avoided if they had
adopted the sensible course then which neces-
sity is compelling them to follow now.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1878-04-30
The Democratic Manifesto.

The speech of Mr.. Atkins, charm an of the
committee on appropriations, is evidently in
tended for campaign use, for 1t is Sloriica-
tion OF the work done by the Democratic
House and an urgent appeal to the people to
give the control of the next House to the
Democracy. The speech sets forth the re-
ductions during the last four years. There it
stops. Mr.. Atkins omits to state that this
reduction has been going on ever since the
close of the war, and that the Republican
party reduced the expenditures of the govern.
ment by far greater sums, and that too, with
out crippling any branch of the public SER
vice, than the Democrats have done. More
than this, the work of the Republican Con-
gress has been carried on by the Republican
heads OF Departments. The Secretaries have
constantly reduced their estimates. In nine
years, from 1866 to 1875, the Republicans re-
duced the ordinary expenditures $64, 100000,
and paid over 500 millions of the public debt.
The last year they held the House they made
a reduction of 16 millions. They always
succeeded in keeping the expenses of govern
ment within its income, in reducing the pub
lie debt and the interest charge.
Since the Democrats gained the House they
have made great pretence of economy, but
have really saved little. The expenditures
voted by them are not to be compared with
the expenditures of former years but with the
estimates made by the heads of departments; !;
and in nearly every instance where the ap-
propriations have been below the estimates
deficiency bills have been found necessary.
The Democratic idea of economy is to vote
insufficient sums for government expenses
one year and then the next year vote sums to
make up the deficiency. That is their record.
Their intention is, as stated by Mr. Atkins,
to still further reduce the revenue BY decreas-
ing the tax on whiskey and tobacco, "two of
the greatest industries of the country" says
the Democratic chairman OF the committee
on appropriations, to stop the payment Of the
overdue debt, and to issue three hundred
millioR more of notes. This is the Demo
cratic plan of economy. The Government
must borrow three hundred millions of dol
lars in order that whiskey and tobacco shall
go untaxed. The Democratic definition oil
economy is very like the Democratic deflni-
tion of non-repudiation. "We cannot afford
to fix upon ourselves the brand of repudia.
tion," says Mr.. Atkins, and he proposes that
we escape the brand by refusing to pay our
debts. "We must be economical" he says,
and he proposes that we economize by run.
ming in debt three hundred millions OF dol.
lars.
If this Democratic manifesto is the best
plea the Democratic leaders can put forward
for continuance of public confidence they
will be wise to content themselves with shout
ing "fraud." The fraud cry may inaame the
zeal of their followers, but the unfound ed
pretence of economy will more likely disgust
them

The subjoinel letter, written some time
since to prominent gentleman in this vicin-
ity, refers only to public matters and can be
printed with perfect propriety. 1t presents
in a nut shell an issue about which there has
been vast deal of talk:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
Washington, April 11th 1878.
My Dear Sa:-You entirely misconceiYe the
action of Congress on the Timber question.
The Senate and House are quite as eager to
prosecute the ''thieves" as is the Secretary of
the Interior. But the Senate and House have
declared that the settlers in the Territories who
cut their wood on the unsurveyed public lands
(where no timber lands are open to purchase)
shall not be regarded as "thieves'' and they
have prohibited Secretary Schurz from contin u
ing his illjudged and oppressive raids upon
these deserving frontiersmen. had the honor
to draft this provision of law which the Senate
adopted by vote of AZ 10 4, and which the
House concurred in by an absolutely unanimous
vote. So that on the only issue 1 had with Mr.
Schurz, was sustained by an overwhelming vote
of both Republicans and Democrats.
The report to which you refer that declared
it "reproach to Mr.. Schurz that he was born
in Prussia" is too absurd to notice with serious
contradiction. 1t is to be treated only with
contempt
