THE TAXATION OP LOANS AS CAPITAL.
The Assessor of the
Thirty-second District has made a
very extraordinary demand upon the bankers of his district.
Section 110 of the Act of Congress of July 13, 1866, imposes
upon bankers a tax of 1-24 of 1 per cent on the capital em¬
ployed in their business. The Assessor construes the term
capital as meaning not only the capital proper of the banker^
but also any amounts be
may borrow in tbe ordinary course
of his business. In a circular
recently issued, he says : “Ac.
cording to the ruling of the Commissioner of Internal Rev¬
enue, money borrowed or received by a bank or banker and
employed in his business must be considered capital, and
taxed
accordingly^ All money, therefore, thus borrowed
or received and
used in banking, not in brokering, as mar
gins upon which tax is paid by stamps, is required to be
included in monthly returns of capital.” As further illus¬
trating the, position taken by the Assessor, the following
suppositious case was stated by him recently before the repre-.
sentatives of the boards of brokers: “ Suppose A is a banker
doing business as a broker. B, a customer, orders him to buy?
for his account and
risk, say 100 shares of stock of a market
value of $100
per share, at the same time depositing as ‘ mar¬
gin,’ ten per cent, or $1,000. A, not having the necessary
per annum.
We are willing,
however, to believe that the Assessor, in
his superserviceable zeal, has overstated his own actual pur¬
pose, and that he aims to collect the tax only upon capital
used in banking. This supposition is consistent with the lan¬
guage of his circular, though wholly incompatible with his
oral
representations.
The question then arises, what does
contemplate in the phrase, 44 capital employed in
business ?” Does it mean the banker’s own capital, or, in
addition to that, capital he may borrow ?
In the ordinary
acceptation, the term, when applied to persons, firms or cor.
the law
porations. represents the amount properly owned by them
and employed as the basis of their business. Indeed, in the
ordinary usage, capital, so far from being regarded as synony¬
mous with borrowed money, is used in contradistinction from

ing its capital, represents its debts; and, in this view, there is
a most obvious impropriety in taxing borrowed money.
AVe
can easily understand how a firm should be taxed upon what
it possesses; but to tax it upon what it owes is a most remark¬
able invention in the science of taxation. Moreover, even
supposing it were allowable to tax borrowed money, it would
be a gross injustice to impose the same rate upon it as upon
capital actually owned; for the obvious reason that tbe profit

or three
clays, the same actual capital
being assessed each time it changes hands; at
which rate it would be
compelled to pay 1 per cent in every
twenty-four days, and 13 per cent per annum. Under such
a
system as this,
temporary loans would be banished from

usage; and bankers, to obviate the

such a ruinous
impost, would be compelled to borrow for
long periods, with consequent inconvenience to themselves

network of national interests.
We have little doubt that the
Assessor finds in his district
many attempts to evade the
payment of the legal tax
banking capital; and with such cases he is justified in upon
dealing
according to the powers invested in him by law. But
unjust
returns afford no excuse for an
attempt to exact taxes which

Thus suffering and an identity
of interests brought all classes together as they never before
had been, showing the freedraan if he would eat he must
work, and the planter that he could not depend upon exorbit¬
ant figures, but must Lire his labor so that he could raise his
crop at a reasonable figure, and must give up a portion of his
time and land to food products.
If this crop of cotton had
cost as much as the previous ones, or if the South had raised
no food, they
would have been compelled to force the staple
upon the market to get themselves out of debt or to provide
the necessities of life, and very little benefit would have re¬
sulted to them from the improved rates. On the contrary,

Europe and the cotton producers in
India, Egypt, and other places will find their industry seri¬
ously affected for good or ill by the prospects and results of
the comiug season.
“King Cotton,” for a dethroned mon¬
arch, still exercises a decided and positive influence in the
world; and this influence seems to be increasing rather than
diminishing. At no former period have the prospects of this
staple elicited a deeper or more general concern.
The action, therefore, of the South in reference to the new
crop is of the first importance. No backward step should be
taken, but the same intelligent course which has produced
such remarkable results the

THE TAXATION OP LOANS AS CAPITAL.
The Assessor of the
Thirty-second District has made a
very extraordinary demand upon the bankers of his district.
Section 110 of the Act of
Congress of July 13, 18G6, imposes
upon bankers a tax of 1-24 of 1 per cent on the capital em¬
ployed in tbeir business. The Assessor construes the term
capital as meaning not only the capital proper of the banker
but also any amounts he
may borrow in the ordinary course
of his business. In a circular
recently issued, he says : 44 Ac.
cording to the ruling of the Commissioner of Internal Rev¬
enue, money borrowed or received by a bank or banker and
employed in his business must be considered capital, and
taxed accordingly.
All money, therefore, thus borrowed
or received and used in
banking, not in brokering, as mar
gins upon which tax is paid by stamps, is required to be
included in monthly returns of
capital.” As further illus¬
trating the position taken by the Assessor, the following
suppositious case was stated by him recently before the repre
sentatives^of the boards of brokers: 44 Suppose A is a banker
doing business as a broker. B, a customer, orders him to buy
for his account and
risk, say 100 shares of stock of a market
value of $100 per share, at the same time
depositing as ‘mar¬
gin,* ten per cent, or $1,000. A, not having the necessary
.
capital himself, borrows of C, the remaining ninety per cent,
say $9,000 (leaving as collateral security in bis hands the cer¬
tificates for the 100 shares of stock),
thus making good at the
bank his check for the whole amount of $10,000,
which he
pays to D for the stock. Now, what capital has the broker
employed in his business* in this transaction? It is the
whole

singular position thus assumed appears to us to involve
very obvious misconceptions. In the first place, the
Assessor confounds the business of

brokering with that of
banking.
In 'the case here supposed, A, the banker, does
broker; the money he borrows for the purchase
of the stock, he borrows as a broker;
in short, be performs
no other functions in the transaction
than such as belong to
the broker and do not pertain to
banking. Where then,
under the terms of the law, does Assessor Webster find his
right to tax such a transaction as that of a banker * In fact,
in the above-quoted circular, it will be seen that he
explicitly
excepts the money borrowed in 44 brokering” from liability to
the tax.
It is inconceivable bow an officer charged with the
collection of revenue at the great financial centre of the
country should have attempted to give such a forced con¬
struction of a statute.
Ilis claim amounts to nothing less
than a tax upon the whole transactions of Wall street in
stocks, gold, bonds, and foreign exchange, averaging $150,000,000 per day, and aggregating about $500,000,000,000
per annum, the proceeds of which would exceed $20,000,000
business
as a
per annum.
We are willing,
however, to believe that the Assessor, in
his
snperserviceable zeal, has overstated his own actual pur¬
pose, and that he aims to collect the tax only upon capital
used in banking.
This supposition is consistent with the lan¬
guage of his circular, though wholly incompatible with his
oral representations. The question then arises, what does
the law contemplate in the phrase, 44 capital

acceptation, the term, when applied to persons, firms or cor_
porations, represents the amount properly owned by them
and employed as the basis of their business. Indeed, in the
ordinary usage, capital, so far from being regarded as synony¬
mous with borrowed
money, is used in contradistinction from
loans.
The borrowed money of a firm, instead of represent¬
ing its capital, represents its debts; and, in this view, there is
a most obvious
impropriety in taxing borrowed money. We
can easily understand how a firm should be taxed
upon what
it possesses; but to tax it upon what it owes is a most remark¬
able invention in the science of taxation.
Moreover, even
supposing it were allowable to tax borrowed money, it would
be a gross injustice to impose the same rate
upon it as upon
capital actually owned; for the obvious reason that the profit

capital proper.
Again, the Assessor’s claim involves a repeated taxation
upon the same capital.
The money borrowed by the banker
is borrowed,
say from another banker, who pays the tax upon
it as a part of his
capital ; or it is borrowed from a bank
which pays upon it the usual tax
imposed on deposits. The
banker borrows it,
say at 5 per cent, and lends it again to a
second party, say
at 0 per cent, who also has to pay the tax ;
the second borrower
pays the money in liquidation of the
cairn of yet another
banker, who again lends the money, the
receiver being required to
pay the tax. These repeated
transfers may occur within two or three
days, the same actual
capital being assessed each time it changes hands; at
which rate it would be

to pay 1 per cent in every
twenty-four days, aud 13 per cent per annum. Under such
a
system as this, temporary loans would be banished from
Wall street usage; and bankers, to obviate the
repitition of
such a ruinous
impost, would be compelled to borrow for
long periods, with consequent inconvenience to themselves

We have little doubt that the Assessor finds in his
district
many attempts to evade the payment of the legal tax
upon
banking capital; and with such cases be is justified in dealing
according to the
invested in him by law. But unjust
no excuse for an
attempt to exact taxes which
have no warrant in a fair construction of
law, and which,
moreover, are opposed to common sense and justice. Th©
case has been referred to
Commissioner Rollins by the board
of brokers ; but the
Assessor, instead of awaiting the
decision of his superior in
office, is embarrassing the tax¬
payers by demanding the surrender of their books and
papers
for examination. Mr. Webster’s action is a
fair illustration
of that official
disregard of the public convenience and that
zeal for
forcing a construction of the law against the interests

market.
Since Tuesday prices have been steadier, with a dearer ten¬
dency, and buyers cannot make purchases on aa favorable terms as
they could at the beginning of the week ; but producer, while thpy

and that is the most certain prophecy—an increased production ; in¬
creased not perhaps in the former ratio, but probably not far short of
it; to be equalized either by lower prices or by a proportionate im¬
provement in business. Weighing the probabilities for either of these
courses, the balance seems at present to incline towards the latter.

Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market has
Several days ago, the market ap¬
point at which operators were disin¬
clined to buy; and. since,the cliques seem to have adopted a policy
of tncouraging daily fluctuations, for the purpose of mating
moderate profits on short terms.
Thi3 policy has also been en¬
couraged by extraneous circumsta ces. The Ohio Legislature has
adopted a bill designed to prevent 'capitalists outside that State
from obtaining control of its roads.
And the Pennsylvania Legis¬
lature has adopted a bill, which the Governor signed the same day,
d-signed to prevent the Erie party from acquiring control of the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company. These
facts were regarded as indicating a strong sectional opposition to
the present negotiations for securing through routes connected with
the Erie road, and naturally affected seriously the stocks which
have advanced largely through their connection with the plans of
the E;ie party. To-day the question has been raised as to the con¬
stitutionality of the action of the Pennsylvania Legislature, which
has had the effect of strengthening the stocks directly conce ned.
New York Central has fluctuated widely, under the varying rep i ts
as to the decision in tLe Supreme
Court upon the Jeucks’ suit.
To- lay the decision has been rendered, and removes the injunction
restraining the payment of the 80 per cent scrip upon the $5,000,000 of stock issued at various periods within th2 last five years;

throughout the week’
the
price closing at 13f)£, or If below our last quotation Th *
shipnc nts of -bonds and stocks, during the week, and a revival of
the exports of cotton have made a more
plentiful supply of ex¬
change, thus putting a stop to the export of specie at a period when
,it was expected that large amounts would be going out. This has
disappointed speculative holders and has indu ed a large amount of
time sales
At the moment, the tendency is
strongly in Tdl r of
lower prices, although it is 'not impossible speculative movements
may temporarily force the price in an opposite direction.
The tluctuations in the gold market, and the business at the Gold
Board during the week closing with Friday, are shown in the foL

sparingly, but the trade has been ex
ceelingly dull, and shippers have purchased only small lines ;
prices consequently declined from dav to day, until yesterday,
when, with a fair trade and increased shipping orders, prices
were more steady.
Stocks in sture are experiencing a steady,
though not rapid, diminution.
Holders are disposed to
reduce them, and, notwithstanding the small receipts (barely
exceeding the exports.) there is no probability of any scarcity
being felt for some time.
Wheat has declined in sympathy with Liverpool reports,
and closes 2@3c lower for the leading grade of Spring.
Shippers and millers have bought and operated very spa¬
ringly. Winter Wheats have been comparatively steady,
though quiet, and California White is firm at $2 05@-$2 10
The circulars from Liverpool, by the “Russia,” to day, report
that imports into Great Britain are still on a reduced scale,
but the deliveries of English farmers h ive largely increased.
The Chicago market has advanced.
There is a very marked
diminution of the receipts there, which appears to have led to
some speculation.
Corn has largely declined.
Receipts have been only
moderate, but there was, early in the week, a great pressure
to sell old, in store, under which, with lower
quotations from
Liverpool, the decline took place. Oats declined to 73c in
store, but have since recovered on a speculative movement.
Rye is rather firmer. Barley, Barley Malt and Canada
Peas are nearly nominal.

on
all evades, and in Ten and Sugars the firmness
previously noticed is maintained. Gold has declined slightly
during the Week, but we believe that higher rates arc expected
rather than any
further decline.
Imports of the week have been quite small in all the lead¬
ing articles of foreign importation. Only one cargo of Rio
coffee has come in at this port, and but limited quantities of
tea, sugar or molasses.
With these small receipts .stocks
have naturally decreased. Full details of the imports at New
York‘for the week, and at the several ports since January 1,
are given below under the respective heads.

REFERENCE BOOK.
object of this book, as its name implies, is to
an easy and readv reference in Uecidng credits
By consulting it the reader may disooi er at a glance
the two most important elements in the claims of
every applicant for credit—first, an Indication of Cap¬
ital ; and second, the Comparative Credit Standing of
the party in the community where he resides,
But whi e this work is prepared with tie most scru¬
pulous care, wc are at all times conscious that it in¬
adequately represents the material behind It. Not¬
withstanding the labor and the great expense which
the solid mass of names in agate type implies, the
w rk is only a secondary part of our business : and
useful as it may be, is only an indication of the facili¬
ties we can afford our subscribers in aiding them to
salcly dispense credit.
Tub Kbfbbbncb Book la
merely an outgrowth of a large and comprehensive
system Inaugurated and tested by us and onr Immedi¬
ate predecessors years before any such publication
was dreamed of—a system which has for its basis a
statement of all the facts and details gleaned from the
best sources of information, which, year by year, aa
they accumulate, make up tne history of every busi¬
ness man In the country.
The accuracy of these de¬
tails is alike tested and vouched for by their constant
use as a basis for credit by the large number oi sub¬
scribers whose .confidence we have enjoyed for a pe¬
riod now extending over a quarter ot a century. It
is obvious, that with these current histories of all ap¬
plicants for credit accessible, the merchant who neg¬
lects to avail himselt of them, and conteuts himself m
the granting ol even a single credit with the mere
Riling oi a Book, does him-eif very great injustice.
He doubles the ordinary risks of credit by leaning
upon a meagre and at the best incomplete guide.
We have referred to the matter iu the above man¬

tendency among
dispensers ot credit (even among our more receni
subscribers) to rely purely on the Refeience Book.
We urge upon them them the desirability—nay, the
absolute necessity, L they seek to trade safely—to
consult the detailed Reports on Record at our various
offices. We are certain, from long experience, that
such a habit will cause, and convinced that by neg¬
lecting to do so they are constantly doing themselves
an iDjust.ee, increasing the already great risks of cre¬
diting, and rendering inoperative the extended facili¬
ties wnich we posies to serve them.
The New Book, issued January 1, is the largest and
most complete ever issued; is corrected up to within
a very sho.it date of publication, and we are sure will
meet with the approval of our patrons.

miums, Is more than equivalent to the oasu value
of the average Scrip Dividends ol Mutual Companies.
