THE STATE BANK TAX.

The New York Times expresses
the hope that Congress will pass
a bill repeating the tax on state
bank issues and believes that
such legislation could be had
without mourning any of the dan
gers which are suggested by the
opponents Of State banks of is
sue.
The Times says:
1--WE have at times expressed
our conviction that the revival of
wildcat banks and bank notes.
which the Republican organs
have predicted as the inevitable
consequence of the repeal of the
state bank note tax. was not a
serious peril because, in the con-
ditions of trade and finance in
the present day, such banks
could not keep their circulation
out for any length of time. But
it is, of course, far better that
such experiments, though bound
to be short-lived, should not be
permitted. All risk in this con
nection can be avoided by the
repeal Of the tax with condi
tions adequate to the security OF
the notes, and for this purpose
the bill of Mr.. John De Witt
Warner, of this city (house bill
No. 1856 February 5,1884.) 'Tc
provide for a safe and ELASTIC
bank note currency has great
merit.
The Atlanta journal published
an analysis of the Warner bill or
the day it was introduced. Il
seems to US to be about the best
measure of the kind that has
been offered. 1t repeals the ten
per cent. tax only as to banks
which comply with its provisions
and the conditions it imposes
give ample security for the pro
posed currency.
The notes are furnished il
blank by the comptroller of the
currency, and have the same Sc
curity against counterfeiting as
the national bank notes now
have.
The notes are secured by al
absolute first lien on all assets
by the personal liability Of share
holders to double the par value
Of their shares; by a limitation
of the issue to 75 per cent. of the
paid up and unimpaired capital
which cannot be less than $50.
900; by a guarantee fund OF three
| per cent. of all circulation, de
rived from a tax Of one half O.
one per cent per annum until tht
fund is completed, and, finally
adequate and convenient provis
ion for the redemption of notes
at city within the state wher'
the bank is situated, to be ap
proved by the comptroller. An,
bank availing itself of the priv
leges of the act is subject to in
vestigations and report by tn,
comptroller's examiners, as ma
tiOnal banks now are.
! There is nothing in the bill re

securities, either federal or state
for the redemption of the note
but the provisions we have re

Fire at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, April -. = The
American Glucose Works, the
largest of the kind in the coun-
try, were discovered to be on fire
shortly after 7:30 o'clock tonight
and by $50 they were totally de
stroyed. The fire soon spread to
Holmes lumber yards and to the
public fish market and at this
writing is not under control.
Ambulances from all the city
hospitals have been summoned.
Several firemen have been iniur-
ed and taken to the hospitals. It
is rumored that some of the en-
ployes of the glucose works were
caught by the flames and have
burned to death. There is great
confusion and excitement in the
vicinity. The money loss is al
ready in excess of a million dol
lars.

1t matters much!
1t matters little how long I stay

Whether in youth | am called away,
Or live till my bones aud pate are

But whether l do the best | can
To soften the weight of adyersity's

On the faded cheek of my fellow

1t matters much.
1t matters little where be my grave,
Or on the land or on the sea,

And marks my brow with his low

No Room for the Third party.

In his sp9 Oh at Raleigh, the
other day, eX-Gov. Black, of
Pennsylvania, told a story about
a back-woods Democratic con
vention in his State that contin-
ued year after year to report the
Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution of the United
States as their platform, confer
ing upon these documents what
seemed to them the highest
praise i'll designating them as
"well-written instruments" The
eloquent speaker went on to say
and no doubt he got the idea
from that prince of publicists,
his father, great Jere Black
that, after all, the functions of
the Democratic party from its
beginning in history had
been nothing more than the
guardianship of those immortal
instruments and its work their
defence against violation. That
is as simple, after it has said, as
Columbus's method Of making
the egg stand on an end, but it
is a truth as pregnant as was
the pointing of the moral in Co
lumbus's illustration. Parties
are combinations of those who
think alike on public affairs. But
no two men think precisely alike
on any concrete subject. There
is always some difference, as
there is in every human face.
Therefore there might be as
many parties in the land as there
are inhabitants. Somewhere on
the road towards this foolish
condition of affairs have been the
know-nothings, the Greenback-
ers, and their congeners, which
from time to time have risen
and then decayed, and we'll along
that wreck streWn road is the
present third party. 1t will pass
away as the predecessors have
done, and there will remain as
long as this government lasts but
two parties: waging the old bat
tie that'has been going on from
the beginning, viz: the battle be.
tween those who stand in de
fence of the principles of the
Declaration of Independence and
the United States Constitution,
and those who would lay violent
hands upon them-in Other
words, between tht Strict Con
structionists and the Latitude
marian Constructionists, the
Home Rulers and the Centraliza-
tionists, just as in the dawn OF
our Republican life.-FayotteciHt

BY the fusion between the
Populists and Republicans, with
some personal opposition to the
candidate for Governor, the
Georgia Democrats have lost
some thousands from their usual
majorities, though without losing
or eve endangering the State.
The entire Democratic State
ticket is elected; the Legislature
is Democratic by a round major
ity, thus insuring a Democratic
U. S. Senator in the place of the
late Senator Colquitt, and there
is little reason to expect the loss
of even one Congressman.

MONEY.

september has passed, and al
ready three-quarters of a year
FUN Of trials, hardships and dis
c6uragements has ended. To the
sanguine, and albeit the great ma
i9rity, since Hope leans forever
bn the side of Promise, there has
(been great disappointment in the
turn the stock market has taken
during the past month.
On reflection, however, it will
be seen that had the recent rise
matured into a boom in prices,
the inevitable reaction would
have resulted, and many people
would to-day find themselves
foundered with stock at high
prices, which it would take many
long months to return to. In
stead, after a rally which marked
the conclusion of tariff legisla-
ton, there has been a relapse
which now places the market
pretty nearly in the rut from
which it originally started. The
reason is not hard to find.
Although business in general
has improved, and contidencne in
a measure re-awakened, the par
alysis, which has clogged the
wheels of business so long, can
not be shaken off at once, but
must undergo a gradual recov-
ery. When the recent upward
movement began, speculation en-
deavored to carry prices be-
yond the point warranted by
conditions which govern them.
Pools taking advantage of the
temporary excitement, endeav-
ored to induce purchasers by
making their specialties attrac-
tive. This was the case more es-
pecially in the Industrial stocks,
where speculation has assumed a
character of such WantonneSS as
to threaten to drive purchasers
from the market entirely:
The stocks Of the American
Sugar Co., Chicago Gas and Dis
tillers (whiskey), have been mani
pulated more like "swindlers"
than respectable properties, and
the only safety lies in avoiding
such properties altogether. More
than one reason hold the market
back. It is only recently that
railroad earnings have shown
signs of improvement, and even
that Improvement has been
brought rather by a reduction Of
operating expenses than increas-
ed gross earnings.
The prices of wheat and other
commodities, which have so large
a hold on our prosperity, still re
main abnormally low whilst the
bank statement shows the vol
ume of idle money continues to
gain rather than diminish.
The elections are now looked
forward to as the next factor to-
wards improvement, and it is ex-
pected the market will remain
inactive and subject to profess
sional trading until that event
transpires. Meanwhile, as mat
tiers look at present, the market
will have its rallies and setbacks,
during which opportunities will
be offered of obtaining valuable
stocks at very low figures.
Very many people regretted
not purchasing at panic" prices
some stocks which to-day are
selling nearly as low as in July
last year, and if securities recede
any further, those who purchase
and lay away will get astonish-
ing returns within the next
twelve months. An old-timer said
the other day, if China and Japan
would only get England and Rus
STA into a war, we would all wear
diamonds" In such an event,
wheat and copper would show
enormous profits at ruling
prices.
