their employment of the privilege OF issuing
nOtes-that privilege for which they consent to
the restrictions of the National system-has
scarcely increased at all. In fact. they furnished
about 20 per cent of all the currency in use
in 1878, and only 81 per cent in 1882. The
banks, in plain terms find the National sys-
TEN and its privileges source of annoyance
and risk, involving heavy burdens with scarcely
commensurate profits. They make their profits.
and handsome profits, from the legitimate
business of holding and lending money and
facilitating exchanges-a business in which
they have no need of National authorization
or franchises.
The truth is that continued legislative hos
tilty and unfarness have made the National
banks quite Indifferent to the supposed advan-
tages of the system. Those advantages to the
people are very great, but to the banks insig
nifcant. If the people do not appreciate the
advantages which they derive from the system
and tley do not, if their legislators repre-
sent them truly-why should the banks insist
upon continuing q service which is almost as
Improbable as il is thanklcss2 Many of them
are asking themselves these questions. 1t is
not unlikely that failure Of Congress at this
of war would lead to a withdrawal from the
system by good many banks, which believe
it would be more profitable to get out of the
note-issung business with its attending re-
straints, and to exercise in freedom the right
to hold and loan money which the great pri-
vate banking firms are able to enjoy without
restriction or official supervision.
An important cause of this change Of feeling
is the reduction in interest on United States
bonds The same capital invested in bonds,
amounting to $342, O19, $50 in October, 1863.
which then yielded 5.73 per cent, being nearly
all in skies, brought only 4.95 per cent in 1878,
and only 3.4G per cent in 1882, the interest
actually received on that amount being as
follows:
1868 Capital. S3i2Olo0jO. Interest s10.62Gf95 so
1873. Capital. 3i2O19.950. Interest 16,954653 90
1882. Capital, 3i2Ol0.0j0. Interest," 1l,9ills3 90
This loss of about $7,7O0,000 yearly on
capital Of $342, 100000 has occurred mainly
within the last six years Hence, notwithstand
ing the growth of the country, the banking
system has expanded but little. The capital
taxed for State and private b INKS has IL creased
nearly 200 per cent since 1863, while the capt.
tai invested in bonds for circulation has increased
only $4,000, COOLIES than four per cent
Moreover, the Federal taxes haye constantly
increased, until the banks now pay back in
taxation for the privilege of doing business as
National rather than as private concerns,
nearly three quarters of the interest they get
on their bonds. The following shows the
amount of Interest actually received on bonds
for circulation, the taxes paid, and the bal
ance left for the banks, in each of the years
above-named:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1883-02-09
THE BANKING SYSTEM

Since January !, tho Controller reports, the
circulation of the National banks has decreased
SlG2 1903. At the same time deposits OF legal
tenders for surrender OF circulation have been
made 10 the extent OF $2SS, 00S i'll excess of
the amount released by redemption of notes
so that the banks voluntarily surrendered
$75O,317 of their circulation during the
month. This is but Il continuation of "a move
mcnt which has been in progress since October
In November the net surrender OF circulation
was $l65,93l in December $1,421,llOj i'll
January, $75O,317; making %2,63I35S IN
three months This ia not large am0untj II
is less than one per cent of the circulation out
standing. The movement in this direction IL
not unusual at this season of the year. But 1t
is IA well to notice that the note-lssulng side
of the banking system has made scarcely any
expansion for six years.
In 1878 the business OF the country, trans
acted through twenty-five clearinghouse,
amounted to $2S ,3lG, 100000, and in 1872.
through the same clearing houses, to
1861, 3S7, OOO. OOO-an increase Of 11G per cent.
But the circulation of all the National banks
during that time increased only l.3 per cent,
from 1902, 0O0 900 in October, 1873, to
1919, 600, 900 in October, 1882, and of that
small Increase, as we have seen, more than
fifth has since been lost This was not because
the banks AZ institutions OF loan and discount,
were not prosperous. Their return of net
earnings last year was nearly per cent on
capital and surplus, and in 1878 it was only
about per cent, while they were also COM
PEELED to charge off losses amounting to
$24, 800 in the latter year. Their
loans have Increased from 1884 100000
to $l.244, 100000, about 90 per cent, and
their deposits from $6Gs,000,000 to
81, 100000, or nearly 70 per cent But

A PURIFIER.

"Generaln Frank B. Spinola ia a statesman
not unknown to famc-fame of various kinds.
That he has been in his time a warrior Is sufl-
GENTLY indicated by his military title: his
record runs that he was "twice wounded in
battle" No doubt he was, but il may bc said
that If wounds received in the field affected
him no more than those in the forum a cannon
ball through his most vital parts could never
hinder his coming up smiling the next morning.
His fame as "a statesman rcpOses on the Tact that
he habtually wears n shirt collar upon which
the Declaration of Independence, the Bill OF
Rights, the Constitution of the United States
and most Of the Statutes at Large might be in
scribed in characters sufficiently large and
lcgiblc to be read from one end OF the ward he
represents to tho other. But he is chiefly
known TO the people of Now-York City and
State because of the remarkable circumstance
that his ears lap over his collar. He is often In
tbs Legislature and always in the newspapers.
Never in the former except to do something so
dlsgraceful that even his own constituents
blush for him. and never in the latter except
as the suggestion of warning and a moral.
On the slightest provocation and with the least
excuse he can do more to make n citizen of
New-YOrk ashamed of his city and his State
than any other man who ever expectorated pro-
family and filth into an Assembly debate
And that is about as bad an emnencc as n
BLACKBOARD could aspire to.
He added yesterday another to the many
characteristic illustrations of himself in which
he has INDUCED during the period OF what is
called, by strange misnomer, his public SER
vice. In the course of the discussion on Mr..
Van Aliens bill to regulate foreign insurance
