IN Wilmington this week a case has
been opened before Judge Wales in
the U. S. Circuit Court, by National
Bank for the purpose of escaping an
obligation due to the State, by way of
a tax upon the actual value of its
shares of stock. Banks should be
amenable to the same laws Of this
commonwealth that bind upon other
corporations or business enterprises.
A bank invests its money in notes, etc,
which are as much articles Of merchan-
disc to it, as coffee, tea, sugar, ETC., is
to the grocer. They sell their money
for profit and are secured by notes,
and it is no more an injustice that the
capital of the rich man invested in
bank stock, should pay its tribute to-
wards the support of the State govern
ment tnan the merchant or manufac-
turer. The law should be so amended
that the tax could not be shifted on to
the shoulders Of the borrower in any
shape.
A tariff in the way Of license is
laid upon every business in Delaware.
This tax is laid alike upon capital,
labor and materials used in conduct
ing business, and is more exacting than
the most rigid tariff laws of the Ma.
tiOnal government. The merchant is
subjected to his license tax in amount
according to the size of his business
which is not unjust in the least; hut
when the same hand is laid for tribute
upon the manufacturing interests it
exacts double duties. The canner who
buys taxed tin plate, must pay to the
State another tax upon its cost before
he can use il to manufacture tin cans.
He is likewise taxed by this same Ii
cense for the employment of the peO-
pie to fill those cans, and for the fruit
or vegetables which he has purchased
of our farmers to go into them. In
other words: our manufacturers Ii
oense imposes a tax upon taxes that
have already helped to swell the
amount of the business. If any are to
be exempt from tribute, by all means
let it De the manufacturer.
The tax on National bank stock as
imposed by the State of Delaware, is
but an equitable distribution-so far
as they are cOncerned-Of the burthen
Of government expense.

Perhaps a thousand colors
and styles. You know how
some of the neatest stuffs of
every sort are cris-crossed and
cut up by color streaks and
stripes and bands of every max
able tint. All of that and more
in the new ones. Tangles of
angles jumbles of joinings.
When you've seen a hundred
you think the last plaid posi-
bility has been run out. But
the hundreds come and go,and
the last one is like the first only
because it's a Plaid.
Effects a little bolder than
last season, colors a bit more
subdued. Over Plaids and
Broken Plaids more the rule.
Let four stand for all and the
price range. The width is 90
inches in each case.
Serge ground, plaided by
narrow cluster-stripes. Asoft,
firm stuff in half a dozen color
ings. 75c.
Fine serge ground, colored
like a Scotch Shawl, over
plaided by a brace of bright,
lumpy threads. 81.

squares by bright streaks like
sunshine through a crack, shad-

you some points worth knowing.
Our ready-mixed paint has few

ing but the pure paint ground in
pure linseed oil with dryer, and if
it is not satisfactory, we will make
it so.
Well, when you are painting
you will want to paper. We have
positively the largest stock of
wall paper in this town. This is
no idle boast. Come and see tor
yourselves. We are selling it very
low, and will put it on for you in
first-class style.
There will probably be some
rooms or ceiling in your house
that you would like to paint in
stead of papering, only that it is
so expensive. We can help you
out Of that difficulty. Alabastine
is just what you want. 1t is pretty
and good-it will not rub off, it
will not crack or scale, and damp
ness and age makes it harder. 1t
is very cheap; costing but little
more than whitewash. We will
refer you to a few persons who
have used it; DR.. Pratt, Postmas-

The Canadians and Annexation
philadelphia Ledger)

(EhtiddeLphfd Ledgef.)
Mr.. Blaine's address to the Cana
dIans, at st. Thomas, Ontario, was
more than usual felicitous. The mat
ter and the manner of it were both ad-
mirable. Mr.. Blaine is generally rep
resented as a rather canny politician,
yet anyone who has carefully noted
what he does or what he says cannot
fail to perceive how inaccurate this de-
scription of the Maine statesman is.
He is hearty, genial, impulsive man,
who is controlled much more fire.
quently by his feelings at the moment
than by his deliberate thought.
There was notable absence of "iin-
goism" in the st Thomas speech, and
the presence of fine tact and wise
thought. 1t was a speech which the
shrewdest, best-trained diplomat of
them all might have made. What he
said is worthy of preservation as a
comprehensive formulation Of what
should be the consistent and known
policy ofthe United States with regard
to Canada. Mr.. Blaine said
We in the United States all desire to be
good neighbors with you. We two peoples
occupy and hold the great North American
Continent, and we are much nearer together
and more closely related to You than we can
be to any European country. Your and our
interests are more closely united, and the
tendency is and ought to be that we will
grow closer and closer together. Whether
we will ever be united depends on you.
When you come we will give you cordial
welcome but we never want You to come till
you make the first move yourselves.
The Canadians, at least those Ofthem
who are Of British Origin, have no gem
uIne or innate love for the people of
the United States. They want pros
perity similar to that which the people
of this country enjoy They would
prefer to have it, If possible under ex-
listing governmental conditions, as
they are thoroughly loyal TO the Crown
as matter of sentiment; they there
fore desire to obtain from the United
States reciprocal trade relations, believ-
ing that with them they would soon
rival our prosperity. But prosperity
is more than sentiment; it is business,
and if the people of the Dominion can
not get what they want-a free ex-
change of commodities = through a
commercial treaty, they may possibly
seek it through annexation. But, as
Mr.. Blaine told them at st. Thomas,
they must themselves make the first
move.

State VS.. National Bank.

The case ofthe State VS.. The First National
Bank was opened this week in Wilmington
in the Circuit Court before Judges Wales and
McKennan. The case has been a long time
in preparation and has been several times
postponed. The action is an injunction
prayed for by the First National Bank ofthat
city restraining the treasurer of this state
from collecting tax of fourth of one per
cent. on the cash value Of shares of stock of
said bank. It is a case of great importance
to all the other national banks in the State,
as it will undoubtedly be a test case for all
of them, and should it be decided for the
state there would be due from them the sum
of SIoo, 900 with sum Of $4,000 thereafter
for every year. The bank is resisting pay
ment upon the ground of the unequal rate OF
taxation in this State which thereby discrim-
mates against bank stock Benjamin Nields,

State is represented by Levi c. Bird and An
