Are National Bank Notes Taxable

Are National Bank Notes Taxable

question properly is to give the law and
any amendments enacted since its
passage.
have been unable to find any law
exempting either bonds or greenbacks
from taxation until tbs act Of Jnne 80,
1864. That was joint resolution and
reads as follows:
"And all bonds, treasury notes and
other obligations of the United States
shall be exempt from taxation by or
under state or municipal authority"
A few years after the passage of this
joint resolution the question arose as to
what was included in the phrase land
other obligations of the United States"
A supplementary act was passed
which is incorporated into the Revised
Statutes as section 54l3, and reads as
follows:
IS C. 54l3-The words obligation or
other securities of the United States
shall be held to mean all bonds, GER
ti6cates OF Indebtedness, national bank |

treasury notes, certificates Of deposit
bills, checks, or drafts for money. drawn
by or upon authorized officers of the
United States, stamps and other repre-
sentaiives of va ue, Of whatever denom-
nations, which have been or may be
sSued under any act of CONGRESS.
You will notice that have put the
word tank' in brackets | did SO for
this reason: The word bank was not
in the supplemental act as it passed
Congress. On the 18th of February
1875. the law was again amended by
ting after the word "national," the
word bank"
Now read the section with 10 refer
ence to the brackets, and you have the
law just as il stands in the Revised
Statutes. If | understand the English
language would say tha: national bank

treasury notes (greenbacks) are, but |

conclusions.

These two classes always had notice

ence against the corporation, the man
against the dollar has begun. The man
who lives to gather wealth regardless of the
welfare of the citizen, is the man who says
every one for himself and the devil take the
hindmost, and the "hindmost" is becoming
more and more numerous each succeeding
year. while the wealth, which cost him life
and painful toll without ceasing, to create,
steadily flows into possession of the few by
a cunningly devised system of laws which
has made the dollar the chief aim Of our
civilization and the man an object of Sec
ondary importance. The man against the
dollar is the problem that stands face to
face with the American voter to be solved.
The man has the power in his own hands
to decide the question in his favor, if he has
the intelligence TO use the ballot wisely.
No people of a grea. empire ever before
possessed this power in its fuIness, and his
tory is a sad chronicle of the decay of men,
arishing beneath the wealth they created
and allowed to slip into the hands of few
uon- producers of wealth. Mans old enemy,
gorged wealth in the hands of a few, is
again confronting him. He must fight or

A Common Error.

There is o common error prevalent
that bankers must necessarily under

there is nothing in the banking bus.

for the banker to understand
the science and functions OF
money, more than there is in black
smithing. Thousands OF the very
best ploughmen know absolutely
nothing about the science of agricul
ture. The searcher after such
knowledge will have to consult other
than the "practical'' farmer to gain a
knowledge of plant life and chow
crops grow" But the majority of
farmers used to believe they knew al,
about their own business and felt
insulted if their claims were doubted

In short the banker knows all about

banking business, IS the farmer does
of practical farming. but the so called
great financiers of the county have
made it plain by their craze about
gold and silver, preserves" "balance
of trade" ETC., within the last decade
that there is not more ignorant
class of people of the true nature and
functions of money than bankers.
AS the public become enlightened on
the financial question the truth of
this will become more apparent.
1t is but a few years since, that
almost every farmer in the land rose
up and Indignantly denounced the
investigators and thinkers who wrote
on agricultural subjects, as book
farmers and cranks. But these
denounced crauks have convinced
the plowtoil farmer and his school
that they were right, and now their
trsducers and scoffers are willing to
receive instruction from them And
the time is not far distant when the
banking class will have to come down
from the high horse and acknowledge
their ignorance of the science they
make such bold claims of under
standing.

The Parties of the Future.

Whatever names the two great political
forces Of the future may be arranged
under, the contention will be between the
man and the dollar. Shall the citizen
or the dollar WELD the governing power Of
this alton, is the question which is crowd
ing all others aside and coming to the front
more clearly, more absolutely, more deter.
minedly, on its merits, to claim hearing
than any other question heretofore demand.

not excepting the slavery question. Money
by stealth and 6nesse has gained the ascend
ency, and is at present completely enthroned
in power-a power which is well nigh abso-
lute-in the social courts, in political
thought, in the judicial mind. The vested
right" by which is meant the inalienable
right of property has already taken rrece-
dence of the unalenabe right of the citizen
A railroad superintendent lately expressed
this sentiment in the following epigram
Said he, ''If you lay silver dollar en- a
shelf a year hence you have a silver dollar,
but if you lay man on shelf year hence
you have skeleton"
That is the faith of the corporation and
money worship class. Money endures,
while the labor which creates the wealth
that is transformed into money passes away,
aud if through the alen-bie of law that
money or imperishable property-imper-

Time to Clip Their Wings.

The time is approach hing if not already

startling facts are revealed by those

" hen judges begin to order legislatures

officers, to be punished for contempt of
the creature which is made by the
breath Of the legislatures, the time has
arrived Tor the legislatures to act by
setting the judges down hard on the
seats they are to occupy, and making
them understand that Legislature and
people are above them, and when they
are called on to construe the law that it
is their duty to construa it where there
is the shadow Of doubt, in favor of
the citizen. In place of this, however,
it has become the almost universal
practice to not merely "construe" but
to wrest their decisions in favor of the
corporation. judicial wing clipping IS
in order.

Teaching VS.. Vituperation.

Reform papers are drifting too
much into party politics, to the ne
glectof keeping the principles they are
battling for before the people. Let
your motto be teach, TEACH TEACH.
This is on the pricple of the
husbandman who sows the seed and
patiently waits for it to spring up
and grow into matured crop. He
does not sit down and wait after
sowing the seed, nor if he is a
thrifty farmer, go OFF cunning and
fishing, but spends the intervening
time between planting and harvest
ing in cultivating the soil, Destroy
ing noxious weeds, and adding more
seed to spots where the seed has
failed to take root, OF has been de-
stroyed and tares sown by the enemy.
Ever industrious. ever watchful, ever
patient. These are the qualities
which develop the successful farmer
who, when the harvest season comes
round gathers the bountiful harvest.
So the true and successful laborels in
the reform field must work, and do
less gunning and fishing after the
old party manner of booming party,
Sow the good seed and carefully
CT tivate and stir the soil. Let into
the dark, sodden mind OF the null
titude the warm and fruc,ifying
sunshine of truth, and trust TO mans
better nature for the bountiful har-
vest; ever bearing in mind that
Paul may plant and Apolos water
but God giveth the increase.
