For it can hardly be possible under any equitable system that the Clearing House banks, representing only 60 millions of capital, could be charged with one-quarter of the whole personal tax and ooe-hilf of the corporate tax collected in the city. But Judge Wallace examines the different modes of taxation on various kmda of property and the exemptions ander the law without finding any defect in the law itself which would vitiate the assessment. He states broadly that State policy may legitimately dictate different modes mnd rates of taxation for different kinds of corporations which the Scate creates, "'and discourage the operations of some and foster the interests of others by a diversity of taxation," and still not bring the statute within the proviso NVe do not see under this of the national banking law. ruling, assuming it to be correct, that the exemption in the banking law as to bank shares has any special meaning.

" legislation and can or the edict of nations has beyond a doubt, give or rob gold or silver of its value," the Post proceeds as follows. Here we find an apt expression of what we resrard the fundamental error of bi-metallism, viz., the idea that it is a part of the concern of legiBlators to see that one commodity does not get the better of another— that strict justice is meted out to silver, and that gold is kept within proper bounds. Elsewhere the Chronicle raises the question whether silver and gold can be regarded as commodities, strictly speaking. Of course, if they are not commodities in the strict i-ense of the term if they are partly commodities and partly "fiat" then there is room to say the one is getting an undue advantage over the other, and that something had better he done about It, even if we do not see exactly what or how. We hold that they are commodities exactly in the sense that tobacco, muHket balls, and 'coon skins, all of which have been used as money in this country, aie commodities, and that their value is regulated by the law of supply and demand — solely. This criticism, if assertions (1) that we understand governments it, is made up (legislators is of the two word used) have no right to concern themselves with regard to the value of silver or gold, and (2) that those metals are in all respects commodities exactly as tobacco, musket balls and 'coon skins are.

A period of fine autumn weather, unusually prolonged, has been brought to a close in some sections of the country by violent storms or lower temperature, or both. There is a serious loss of life on the Gulf Coast, and much damage to the rice crop in Louisiana. The prolonged drought on the Atlantic coast has done some damage to ite vegetable crops. The strike of the workmen in the swine-slaughtering establishments at Chicago continues. Warlike rumors from Europe have stimulated the speculation in breadstuffii, causing some recovery in values, which had declined to very low figures. A renewal of the shipments of gold from Europe to this country has been noted with some satisfaction. Lird futures have been much le^ active, and the fluctnatioDS in prices were comparatively slight, closing this afternoon steady, after brisker dealings in the early months.

We have received an unfinished copy, and after examination have no hesitancy — tn saying that it is not only the most attractive, but the best and most useful cotton book issued in any country.

Thomas has also written expressly Ellison for this volume an account of the cotton trade of Egypt, which contains just the information so many in the trade are eager to Besides these and other novelties, none of the usual and reports given in previous volumes are omitted, but all are brought down to the latest dates.
