pounds About one-sixth of this came
from Venezuela, Colombia and Haiti,
the three countries affected by the
three cents a pound imposed by Presi-
dent Harrison under the provisions of
the law. The official figures for the
fiscal year 1891 are as follows:

The figures for January indicate that
the imports are now very small. the
value for that month having been less
than $3.50, 900. This is the effect Of the
exaction of a duty of 8 cents, SO far as
the quantity received from these coun-
tries is concerned.
The imposition of this duty has also
had the effect, we are informed, of in
creasing by several millions of dollars
annually the cost of coffee to consum-
ers in this country. The duty has in
creased the cost of the mild coffees
produced in these three coun tries.
which were formerly about one-sixth
of our entire supply, and has largely
decreased the quantity imported. At
the same time, because of this increase
of cost, the producers of mild coffees in
other countries not affected by the duty
have been ena bled to exact higher prices
for their product when sold here. It
is estimated that for this reason the
cost of coffees of similar grades pro-
duced else has been increased to
the American consumer by at least ~
cents a pound. By his reciprocity
proclamation Mr.. Harrison thus i'm
posed considerable tax upon the peo-
pie of the United States, not only with
respect to the coffees imported from
the three countries directly affected,
but also with respect to large quaint
ty of the coffees that are on the free
list.
The law says that after such retalia-
tory duties have been imposed by the
president they are to be exacted ''for
such time as he shall deem just" The
president who imposed these duties
has been succeeded by Mr.. Cleveland,
and it is Mr.. Cleveland whose opinion
as to the justice of the continued ex-
action of this tax is now to be conclu-
sive. The fact that he has called upon
the state department for information
as to the condition of negotiations with
the three countries affected shows that
he has this question under considera-
ton. If it shall appear that the retail
atory duty on coffee has had no bene-
fetal effect upon our export trade and
is a burden upon the people, the JUS
tice of it will not be clearly estab-
lished N. Y. Times.

A Shocking State of Affairs.

The crash among great number of
small National and State Banks in
Illinois, Indiana, and vicinity this past
month is another lesson if any more are
needed, Of the insecurity in the present
banking system 10 this and all countries
for that matter, for they are all alike in
the illustrated risk.
The crashes in Australia which have
recently occurred are far worse than
anything in this country, and are fear
tul in the losses and suffering they
entail upon the industries of that peo-
pie, when the volume of the insolvent
banks liabilities are considered.
All this is quite needless, the Gov
eminent alone is qualified to become
the repository of the deposits of the
merchants and the people; with the
Government behind dcpositors no such
thing as failures could occur.
The only risk under the Government
system would be in fraud, fraud that
is far more rampant under the present
private banking system than could ever
exist under our Government plan,
under which when the examiners dis
covered fraud they could weed it out
without imperiling tie money ola single
depositor, or the solvency Ct single
bank,
AS money may in safety to the people
be made by the Government alone, SO
its distribution among all industries
and the people is an equal necessity for
the proper and honest conduct of all
business affairs.
Then this paying out interest to
private money lenders in volume
anywhere between one aud two thous-
and millions year, is a fearfully
needless oppression.
There is neither sense, excuse, nor
justice in it; it is grave crime upon
the nation. The whole business can be
better aud more equitably done under
the exclusive jurisdiction of the nation.
While the Western bank failures
were more or less associated with
interruptions people who were long
engaged in class of business which a
first class American bsnksr repndiates.
the point made here is. that equally
INSCRIPTIONS people can under existing
laws keep right on doing this same

Bank Profits.

An examination of statistics relative
to the banking business shows it to have
been more profitable than any other
and far more easy to manage. In fact,
the only qualifications for this kind of
business is fair knowledge of arth-
matte, case hardened conscience, and
an avarice that is not satisfied with the
usual con6scation of the rights and
property of others. It does not require
one.half the brain power or qualities
that make up the respectable citizen to
conduct banking business that it does
to carry on tho average farm in any
locality in the country. Banking is q
trade easily learned, not difficult to con-
duct, and almost universally remun-
erative. A fair estimate Of the profits
of this business for twenty fue years,
taken from the comptroller of the cur
rency's reports, is about as follows:
Received as interest on circu-
lation during 25 years COM
pounded at per cent $20lS, S4l ,073
Interest on United States
bonds, a. per cent 159,420,5S6
Interest on deposits, at A
par cent 23O7 ,247 ,O53
Profits on purchase of bonds 4S4 al $50
Total $500 649,S92
The above is conservative estimate
from actual figures of the amount made
by the banks in their transactions with
the government and the people.
No other business can show such
enormous profits or has become such
menace to our free institutions. Below
is given the figures of the profits of one
bank, the first National Bank of New
York city. These figures are from
speech of Senator Vests in 1883. 1t
will be of interest to read them care
fully. This statement begins with 1873.
The capital stock was 100000. The
surplus, dividends and annual profits
are given below:
