important in itself that n large and most
troublesome contraction might ensue.
On the other hand, if the taxation of banking
property is to be reduced as it certainly ought
to be for the public interest, it would then be
possible to curtail the freedom or modify the
privileges of the banks, if desirable, without
causing abandonment of the system or surren-
der of circulation To the extent of the tax
removed the banks would lie in stronger posi-
ton. and better able to make sacrifices IN
volyed by contemplated amendments OF the
law. Hence it seems reasonable to reserve oil
amendments modifying the franchise or re-
s;rcting the freedom of the banks to be consid-
cred in connection with the bill to reduce tax
alton. Most of these amendments are undesirable
in any connection. They are only concessions 10
a most unreasonable prejudice, or are urged by
men whose object is to cripple and destroy the
National system if possible. But, whether good
or bad. safe or most unsafe, in connection with
a bill reducing taxation, these changes III the
franchises of the banks cannot safely be made
with the present taxation continued. Inc
question of the extension of charters ought 10
be decided upon its own merits. The National
banks have far less interest in 1t than the COM
mercial community, whose facilities and supply
of loanable funds would be suddenly curtalled
if the banks should be obliged. to reor game
under the existing law.

ont of the caucus. This was as far as these
regulars could well GO in the administration OF
punishment. and from the comments made by
the Anti-Tammany organs it is clear that this
exclusion from the caucus was approved OF by
substantially all the Anti Tammany Democrats,
and was regarded as a fit and proper precursor
of the exclusion which awaits Tammany in
case it walks into the next State Convention
claiming recognition. And that exclusion from
the next State Convention, it is further under-
stood will be promptly followed by the formal
reading of Tammany out of the Democratic
party With Tammany's aid the Democracy
have now and then been able TO carry New
York But the State is too close to admit OF
the hope that the party minus Tammany can
hone to succeed. Here is The Buffalo Courier,
the leading organ of the Democracy in the
western part of the State, admitting as much.
It says that although Tammany is only .
local faction" it derives It's Importance Z" from
the closeness Of the vote in this State The
strength of this local faction waG shown in
1879 when John Kelly, the representative OF
Tammany, ran for Governor against Lucius
Robinson, the candidate of the regulars, and
A. b. Cornell, the candidate of the Republic
Mr. Tiden, Mr.. Robinson and those whom
they commanded, Mr.. Kelly pOlIed 1866
votes. The regulars OF to-day endeavor to
break the force of these figures by asserting
that Tammany eliminated in 1879 and has
never been as strong since. But where is the
proof of this assertion What reason is there
to think that if either Tilden or Robinson were
to be nominated Tammany would not show up
as strong in 1882 as it did in 1927
The simple fact is that as the Democracy look
ahead to next fall they find defeat at the polls
staring them in the face. And the gloom engen-
dercd by that fact is rendered thicker than it
would otherwise be by the thought that the
present forlorn outlook is largely due to the
policy pursued by the party. Under one of the
provisions of the new Code, the party is liable
for arrest for an attempt at suicide.

4 DARK DAY FOR TIE DEMOCRACY OF
NEU-YORK


We doubt if the Democracy Of this State ever
confronted an important campaign in worse
condition than that in which they now find
themselves. They lack leadership, they lack
principles they lack the strength that springs
from unity, they lack the momentum resulting
from the acquisition of a worthy record If
they had been possessed of leaders worthy the
name the deadlock would never have been
possible and the quarrel between Tammany
and Anti -Tammany would long ere this have
been composed. If they had possessed prin-
ciples they would never have stultted them
selves by making fine promises in their plat
form of last fall only to break them by their
stupid neglect to legislate on vital subjects dur
ing the present session. As it is, New-York
Democracy stands to-day rent in twain and a
prey to the paralysis which faction commonly
engenders.
Nor does it seem possible that the Democracy
can manage 10 turn over new and improved
leaf before it is time to call State CoEven-
ton. The fight between Tammany and Anti
Tammany has been too fierce this time to admit
of the supposiuion that a compromise is possible
or that a treaty of peace can be arranged on
any terms agreeable to both sides. The
"reguars" in the Assembly, acting under the
leadership of Speaker Patterson. some time ago
took occasion TO read the Tammany members

So far as we can understand, not one of the sew
eral strikes in progress among wOrkingmen in this
city is based on a demand tor higher wages The
objections raised by the workingmen are to the
violation or disregard by employers of the rules
aud regulations of the Unions formed by the work
ingmen In one case the monitor of force OF
coopers belonging to the Union required his en-
ployer to discharge a non Union journeyman. The
employer thereupon discharged the monitor him.

signal compelled sixty other iourneymen, members
of the Union to lay down their tools and walk out
OF the shop. In another instance forty brcklayers
laid down their trowels and left work on the Co
umbia College buildings because delegate OF their
Union, who was not employed at all. was refused
permission 10 go over the building during labor
hours and interrupt the men at their work bile he
inspected their cards of membership. Such tactics
rs these will gain the workingmen no sympathy.
Ii ought on the contrary, to bring the Union into
dsrepute with its own members for employing such
indscreet monitors or inspectors Neither coopers
nor brickayers have any good pccuniary reasons
for striking at this time, for they are well paid
and they will have nobody TO blame but themselves
if they shut themselves out from both work and
sympathy.
