When the facts in regard to this scheme
to create and foster a monopoly in the
opium trade in the new possessions OF the
United States were published, protests
began to pour in on Secretary Root from
every quarter, and the action Of to-day,
which is believed to have been dictated
by President Roosevelt, was the result.
In all probability the plan to grant a
monopoly of the opium trade in the Phil
ippines will not be heard of again.

American Banking System.

Prof. Charles j. Bullock, in Atlantic.
Ever since Andrew Jackson overthrow
the Second Bank of the United States,
the American banking system has con-
sisted of a large number of small institu-
tions possessing little desire or power of
helpful cooperation. Large banks with
numerous branches, such as exist in
Canada and Scotland, have been I'M
known in the United States, save for a
few transient enterprises Of ante-bellum
days. A central institution, enjoying
banking interests, Las boz. political
impossibility since Nicholas Biddle RASH
ly ventured upon a trial of strength with
the masterful statesman from Tennessee.
National banks, State banks, private
banks, trust companies, competing Wig
orously for public favor, have met toler-
ably well the needs of the country in
fair weather; but in times of stress and
storm these separate institutions have
been unable to oppose a united front to
the forces of financial disorder. Yet, up
on the whole, this decentralization of
banking interests has been generally ap-
proved as democratic in it's tendencies
and we'll adapted to the diverse needs of
our vast territory.
At the head of the system stand the
national banks, which possess the ex-
elusive power to issue circulating notes.
For 20 years following the Civil War this
privilege remained sufficiently remunera-
tive to gain for these institutions a de-
cided predominance over the banks of
deposit and discount incorporated by the
several States; but since the early eigh-
ties causes which are well understood
have reduced the profit derived from the
issue of notes, and have decreased the
attractiveness of a Federal charter. \ \
. In point of source and banking
power the national associations still re-
tain their p~re-eminence, having nearly
three times the capital and over twice
the deposits shown by the State institu-
tlons; yet banks of the latter class are in
~creasing more rapidly than those of the
former, despite the temporary influence
OF recent changes in the national bank
ing laws.

The collection of poll taxes is difficult
and dilitory matter in many places.
The law allows imprisonment for failure
