in the taxation Of beer or distilled
spirits or tobacco, Congress may
modify the law so as to provide that
in case they are manufactured in a
certain way they shall not be subject
to the tax.
Mr.. johnson of Indiana-Do you
think that that is not government
restriction
mSecretary Carlisle-1t is simply a
odi6cation of the authority already
exercised by the government over
State banks. The effect is that if the
bank does not comply with the condi-
tlons the present law would be en-
forced against it.
Mr.. Cobb of Alabama-And you are
willing to retain that modified control
of State banks simply because you can
not get rid of the control altogether?
Secretary Carlisle-As mere ques-
tion of right, I would be in favor Of re-
pealiug the tax upon the notes of State
banks. do not assert tbas it would be
good financial policy to do SO under the
present circumstances. 1t might not
be. But logically my position would
lead me to advocate the unconditional
repeal of the tax upon State bank cir
culatiou. 1t cannot be done, in my
opinion, and perhaps it might not be
good financial policy to do it under ex-
listing circumstances; and therefore |
have proposed simply that the act shall
be so modified that the State bank can
issue safe aud sound note and exempt
itself from taxation.
With such strong statements as the
above from the Secretary of the Treas
ury, it would seem that the Northern
Democrats should not attempt to CON-
bine with the Republicans to strike out
the State bank feature from the bill
when it is taken up in the House.

The manner in which, during 1894, it has
treated the Chicago Railway Strikes and the
Chino japanese War, and the amount of light
it was able to throw on Korea the instant at

try, are examples of its almost boundless re,
sources. Julian Ralph, the distinguished
writer and correspondent, has been sent to the
seat of war, and there Joined by c. D. Weldon,
the well.known American artist, now for many
years resident in Japan, who has been en-
gagged to cooperate with Mr.. Ralph in sending

discussed with vigor and without prejudice in
the editorial columns, and also IN speelai
articles by the highest authorities IN each De.

who are making history, and powerful and
caustic political cartoons. will continue to be

State banks, does it not, as matter

which the law has already imposed on
State banks, and it simply provides
that these banks may exempt them
selves from those restrictions or limi-
