STATE TAXATION OF BONDS

In deciding the Virginia debt case the
supreme Court of the United StatAs ~ !,
passed upon ole phase of an inpor, -,
constitutional question concerning which
ne law 10 lar from being clearly sstt led.
L1e Coart held that In taxing its own
bonds the State Of Virginia had violated
that provision OF the federal constitution
which prohibits State from passIue a
law lmpairlns the obligation of a CON
aact. Three years ago the same Iibn-
nal declared that an ordinance OF tha
city oil Charleston taxing its mupicjn.t
)ol DIS was uncoustilmiona for thu s.,na
reason. And yet in tha; case the Eolr,
conceded tha. public securities are no
beyond the reach Of taxation, and cit.d
wo cases in.Whieh Ohio aud Catifrnia
hAd taxed their own bonds without
breaking ialth With their creditors. Rot
tue line separating constitutional from
unconstitutional legislation on this snh.
lset has hot been clearly defined and
eahnot easily be drawn. The distiucfinn
seems TO be chiefly in the prlncinle of
assessing and collsc ing the lax. In
both the Virginia and the CharIe.,an
easss the law required the tax TO be de.
iacted from the interest due on lbe
bonds, SO that when the creditor went
tor his dividends he was obliged to re-
,elHe less amount than had been prom
isei him. This was plain violation or
lie contract that had bean made win
ne bondholdsr. Furthermore. in the
Nlfginia case ;he deduction WAS made
from detached coupons; which. as The
supreme Court pointed out, repre.e nj
separate ana distinct contracts from tie
oouds themselves. Hence the effect Of
.he statute vas TO make the holder OF
1he Contract pay the taxes levied upon
he holder Of another. Ii is clear thai
State or municipal corporation il bound
-o pay II fuli both principal and inter-
al when due, and that no deduction. In
he way OF taxes can De constita ionally
made from either. But when a tar a
imposed generally upon personal proper
y or upoa stocks, bouds and other Sc
tarlttes, and is to be assessed and collec-
.sa u the ordinary way, it will hardly
De claimed that all State aud municipsl
bonds, or the proceeds realized from
tAen, are exempt on The ground that

WEDNESDAY,. JANUARY 2s, Issl.

GREENBAcKs ABROAD. The green
back note has been sneered at good
deal at times or, rather some people
have accused other people OF sneenDg
atdt. But the derision did not arise
from any fear that the note was not a
safe one for the time being; but from
the fact that it was not "legal tender"
according to the United States Con-
stitHtion. Nor do weDbelieve it legal
tender. But then it may be so in law
since the Courts have so decided, and
we are required to regard decisions as
binding until reversed. However this
may be, is not question we desire 10
discuss now, the note is good enough
for all present purposes ; and unless the
people OF the United States shall be
foolish enough to 90 to fighting again
or get into war with some other nation
il will grow better as 1t grows older.
And this We think will be the result
since our people have seen the evil that
resGlts from Ma:, and are now paying
severely for the indulgence of the worst
passions of unciyilized nations.
We are told the ''greenback" is re-
ceived in England and passes at a PIE
MUM over gold. This is uttered in
the tone OF exultatioE and pride, aud
well it may be since it is not ten Yeas
since that note was ten per cent. below |
par, and would not be received any |
where abroad as money, equal in value /
to gold. The fact thai ''greenbacks" are
now received in England and commaud
premium is Another proof of the value |
OF our agricultural products. Ii is be |
cause of our ability to furnish the |
needy masses of Europe with food al |
paying prices, that the Golfers of our
government are plethoric with gold, and |
the greenback is at premium abb DAD
Ihe sale of these products anged tile
balance of trade and sent hundreds OF
millions of gold to this country. Bills
Of exchange that formerly commanded
a premium eau now be purchased in
this country at par, and arc quoted al
9sa and 80 instead Of IU6; while The
greenbaek is sold in London above par
instead of bill OF exchange to tie
traveller seeking our shores. This is
great chat &c indeed. But there
is no reason at all why the greenback
should hot be received IN Engl and al
par, and disposed of TO the thousands Of
Immigrants who are coming here, at
pFemil N. The fa.t must be gratifying
70 every american travelling in England,
aud Is Just Gauss Tor pride al home.
Should the ba alce OF trade continue 10
grow il our favor as il las done during
the pasl three years for the mkt ten
years, the American tourist will be
saved the trouble aud expense of the
purchase Of letters of esedl. or bills Of
exchange; for greenbAeks aud gold and
silver certificates will be received IN
Lo4dan aud P4lis al American resorts
as freely as they are passed at lone.
