Tim Presidential campaign may soon
be regarded as open, and the Republi
can should at once set himself about to
do whatever good he can in the nose.
Wa know of no better way to make
votes than by educating the people up
to the proper standard, so that they may
know how to diatalteuaate at the ballot
box in favor of the patfi having the
greatest interest in the welfare of the
country, and holding principles not at
variance with the fullest idea of a
Republican form of Government. The
- best channels through which to reach
the masses and to spread before them
the live lasucs of the hour, are well con
dueled and feailessly edited "newspapers
They are the educators of the people,
and when properly directed, one Journal
silently accomplishes more good and

view of this fact, all earnest adherers to
'the great political principles held by the
Itepublican party should bestir them
selves to increase the circulation of able

Legislature ; it la to be hoped, the wheie
system of taxing banks, will be remodcl 7
ed to meet the requirements of the Case,
as developed I y the fullest considere
I tion.
There can be no question bat capital,
whether la the form of 'bank and rail
way shares, or ie, goiernment hoods
ought to be liable to amessmpa for pub
lic purposes toms full an extent as other
descriptions of proper:Y. The exemp

"laced that tho general system under
which they are doing business can only
be permanently maintained by the adop
tion of such provisions of law las will
subject banking capital to as heaTy rates
of taxation as aro laid Upon
.capital cm
played in other prinruits. I
The fortydirat section os the Act of
Congress of 1804, regulating lfational
Banks, expressly prohibits taxing, for
State and local purposes, - either the
trancbises, capital or earnings nit th ose
lostituttona; and theobTlctut Import and
effect of ..tha:lcectlOti boa • teen sustained
byslociammain both Federal and State
,Contts. But the same section author
into taxing shares of stock in National
Banks in the hands of the individual
hol !era thereof, the same as oche; prop
erty, subject to three limitationi: I
1. The rate moat not ho greater . than
on other moneyed capital its the State.
This is abundantly liberal' In Peansyl.
rants., for moneys at interest are now
taxed, in none o' the bounties less than
three or four per cent., and in Irene of
them seven - or eight per cent.
2. That the taxes shall be. imposed by
Sate authority,. at the place where the
particular bank is Ideated, ant not 'else
where: • •
=ID
3. That the rate shall no; exceed that
upon shares in State banks.
Tae fint attempt In this State, et tax
ing National Banks, failed because it
aimed at their besiners. Tee sceend
attempt, that of 1866, failed- for thena.
sons—lsx Theone per cent. levied t iter'
held to his in excess of that legallyi pay.
atile'on. other capital for State of , jects
alone; and, 2d. Because it wee laid on
the" banks directly, and .not' on the indi
vidual holders of the snares. . •
The act of 1867 is objectionable not
simply, became the assessing is made a
Lib for the benefit of lucky politicises,
but also because it does not make the
stock taxable for county and local pur
pews. It is further faulty, in the fact it
does not subject shares in State Banks to
tie same measure of taxation as shares
In National Busks. Moneys at interest
are taxable for all purposes, and. as we
recently explained, in some counties the
assesimente absolutely reach $67 on each
$l,OOO, Or $7 more than the whole lawful
interest recelyed. Nor Is this the worst
of it. If a man sell/ realestate on time,
taking any form of security, that securi
ty Is liable to taxation at these • rates,
while the property conveyed is liable the
same as - any other hones and lands;
that taxing the same property twice.
( We may remark in panning that the law
Lazing money at interest, as it stands, is
on infamy that the Legislature ought to
make haste and correct.) , • -
The tax on State Banks it on the par
value of the shares, regardless of its
market value; while the taxon -National
Banks is on the actual value of the
shares, whatever it may be. It is a point
to he considered, moreover, bow f•r the
distioctioas made in taxing stock; in the
two 8413 of Banks,. invalidate any of
the evils.
Another point in li - hieh ! question may
pc sillily arise might as Well ho looked at
in tits connection. The 41st sjd:
lion or the National law , declares
"That nothing in this act shall be con
straed to prevent all the shares in any of
said Associations, held by any person
or leafy corpora's from being includ
ed in this valnation—of the personal
property of such person or corpora
tion in the assessment of taxes imposed
by order of State authority, at Map/ate
where suds bank is located nod not else
ahere"
The State law of 1867 provides, that
taxes . on shares of stock ,in National
Banks shall be assisted ae the place of
residence of stockholders.
There is a manifest discepancy in these
two provisloas, which the courts may
find a way to reconcile if a case should
arise calling for a solution, though we
think that In this great violence would
have to be done to one or both the pro
visions. A bill is now under consider:
atloio in Congress which provides that
stock in National Banks maybe taxed at
the place Of residence of the rest: ectivc
Stockholcers, provided they restde In
the Sate in which the bank is lacated,
and w.th which they are connected. If
this tall should become a law, es we
presume It will, It will measurably rem
edy the discrepancy referred to.
As the laws now are lands and tene.
minis are eiempted from siwessments
for Sista purposes, but carry, by far the
larger part of the local .hurdena, while
capital invested in basks, railways, in
surance and - minufacturieg companies
contrihates most of the proceeds requir
ed for Smle I:maunder this arrangement.
More than half of the Income of the
Stab) Is - collected In Philadelphia.
There is no vital objection to the coo.
tiatuince of this role provided the actual
barriers ofeach of these forms of prop
erty are siAbstantlal equalized. It7onid,
indeed, be !fore satisfactory to malty
minds if all kinds cf property should be
crude liable to the same levies and In '
the same proportions; but there are
practical dithenhies in the way.
hitherto it has been found fildlenit, it
not Impassible, to make capital in the
form of ,money pay its proportion of
taxes, while real estate is palpable and
cannot be concealed. The result is that
capitaliats who are best able to contrib.
ate to the support of government pay
ratably to their means less than car:am
more moderate circumaLtucee. A labor
er, mechanic, or tradesman, who Las a
house, shop or store cannot escape the
tax-gatherer, while his rich neighbor
may have tens or even hundreds althea,
ands of dollars Invested that the existence
of them caanot be readily aacertained.
Exact equity Is scarcely attainable, nor
bait desired by 'persona who take com
prehensive views of taxation. What is
essential is that substantial justice be
done.
It will doubt: eat be found impossible
to dispense with the State tax on real
property union the tin on bank sharos
shall be rendered available. If it should
become necessary to restore the State
tax on lands a thorough scrutiny of all
1 parts of the existing syst em will he d o _
manded and enforced; and the result of
this will be that money capital will not
escape as easily as under the proposition
to make It pay one per cent

The New York Independrni contains
fell cothmin editorial on the Bishops of the
Methodist Eniseopsl Church. Coming
from a source from which that praise
would be !east
.expected, its views of the
general character of the Board are worth
re-producing. Looking at the picture of
the Bishops, It says, there are few
men In the United States to whom more
power is entrasted—power, but not
emolument; for their position_ Is the
farthest removed from dig:died leithre.
Referring to the circular form of like-
Drec,,,, it Rays, like every thing In Meth..

ate one wheel of a Teat system of wheels;
and if they exert their power in bidding
others to remove, there are' none, upon
whom the burdens or the Itinerant sys
tem fell so heavily as upon themselves.
