The business failures last week, footed up 307 as against 242 the week previous the increase being mainly in the South and West. Whilst the particular reason for this remarkable increase is not stated, it is worthy of remark that the larger part of the increase is in the South and West, agricultural sections, which would indicate an unsatisfactory condition of finances among the farmers. As a general thing when money is close, and consequently appreciated in value they are the first to feel it not only in the depreciated price of what they have to Bell, but in the reduced de mand caused by the cautiousness of dealers and speculators, who move slowly and buy lightly until they think they can see their way clear. In the fluctuations of the money market none suffer more nor to a greater extent than the farmer, who does not make his own prices but must take the prices made by others. To what extent this increase of fail ures may be attributed to the abtici: pated reduction in the volume of national bank note circulation unless congress take some action to provide against it, we cannot say, but it is more than possible that circum stances in which the national banks are placed by the laws now existing governing their circulation may have much to do with it, and it isprobaba bly but the beginning unless congress take such measures, and take them without unnecessary delay, as will determine this question in a satisfac tory way and quiet fears that exist in business circles, uncertainly is almost as bad as actual disaster for t leads to disaster eventually Mr. A. S. Hatch, of New York, in the last number of the Agricultural Review, has an interesting article on this subject, in which he urges the the abolition of the tax on the circu- ation of the banks in the following forcible reasons, which we quote : () The national bank notes form an important part of the circulating medium of the country, whichit is of the highest importance should not only pe perpetuated, but increased, as the population, the average wealth of the people, ana tne activities or business increase, and as the area over which our business operations extend becomes wider from year to year. Any considerable reduction in the volume of currency now in cir culation would be disastrous, while its eradual expansion in some form to meet the growing wants of fifty millions of enterprising and prosper ous people, adding to their numbers at the rate of from one to two mil lions annually, and sp eading them selves out over three million square nf territory, is a necessity. It is universally conceded that our na tional banking system has furnished the most convenient and secure form of bankiner currency ever devised. and it is to the perpetuation and gradual expansion of this sygtem that we should iook to meet uie re quirements of the future. m as neitner oanitiuK uuuer uic national system, nor the issue and maintenance of circulation by nation al banks can be compulsory, it is not to be expected that capital will em , .1 - . 1 . . DarK in inis, more wia.11 m any uwxi business, without the promise of fair rpmuneration. AiitKirlft nf the larere cities the issu ing of circulating notes must be relied nnon to render tne Dusmess 01 an iu corporated bank a profitable opening for the employment 01 capital. iu llation unprofitable is to rtrevent the crowth of banking capi tal from lteenine pace with the grow ing needs of business, or, worse still, that already so employed to eAlr mnrft invitine fields. " (3) With the existing relation be tween the prices of government bonds and the rates of interest which thflv hfiar. the maintenance of nation al bank circulation is reduced to the verge of unprofitableness, so long as it. ia suhipct to a tax equal to one third of the income derived from the bonds deposited for its security; white if relieved from taxation alto- o-othpr it would afford no more than a fairly inviting field for the use of cap1!-. (4) rne tnree ana a-naii immuiis ui thereabouts derived from this tax is no longer required by the govern- merit'- , , r. ,j The conditions alone which ould justify such a tax on the circulating medium, have long ceased to exist, The popular demand for a reduction of the public revenues to something like an approximation to the require ments of the interest on. the public debt, the sinking fund, and an eco nomical administration of the gov ernment, is loud and imperative. Every one at all familiar with the history of the tax and tariff legisla tion nf the last Coneress knows how the effort to respond to the popular this respect was confronted oirr.at vprv stenbv the represen- tatives of prominent business inter ests, claiming for them the protection of existing conditions as to tax or tariff, as necessary to preserve them 4Wirv T-iiinnns nonseauences. "(5( Th abolition of the tax on bank circulation would embarrass no bus ness interest, would paralyze no m j.....r ohnt. nn no mills, stop no uooifl nf rnmmerce or of manufac tures, and check no developments or progress in any direction., On the contrary it would JmPMj JJf nwJ confidence and vigor, tc all these, by ensuring the stability of the national banking system, and by removing from the business horizon the cloud, which though now no bigger than a man's hand, perhaps, suggests to many timid minds the dreaded possi bilities of future contraction with which it is pregnant. The only consideration that has been urged with any show of reason against the repeal o'f this tax, is that some provision should exist by which the circulation of the banks shall be charged with the cost of maintaining the national currency bureau at Washington. The absurdity of this argument in support of the existing tax of one per cent, per annum is ap parent when it is found that the ex penses of the bureau tor the last fiscal year were but $220,000, or less than one-fifteenth of one per cent, on the average circulation of the national banks outstanding A simple and equitable method or providing for these expenses would be to substitute in the national bans act, in place of the present tax, a pro vision empowering the comptroliei of the currency to assess upon the banks annually, or at such conve nient intervals as he might suggest to congress, the amount necessary to meet the expenses or his bureau, pro rata according to their average cir culation outstanding. It there are any reasons, entitled to intelligent consideration, that can be urgea in iavor 01 tne reienuou 01 me deformity which the existing tax on bank circulation presents in our rev enue system, some ore else niwst be found to state them. The writer is unable to suggest one. Although there is still heard at in tervals the voice of the bank wrecker, peaking not to the intelligence of congress nor of the people, but to the ears and votes and prejudices of some misguided constituency, trained by years ot raise teaching to iook upon the national banks as pampered monopolies, the national banking sys tem has struck its roots deep in the confidence and intelligence of the American people ; and it has so inter woven itself with their varied inter ests, that the political party which should threaten to wreck it, either by hostile legislation, or by blind neg lect to give just consideration to its reasonable claims, would be certain in the end to lay its own bones in hopeless political shipwreck on the rocks of popular indignation. 5 000 THE GRAPHIC. Canadian Creditors Say it i Hope Insolvent. Montreal, Lec 11. A sensation was created here yesterday when the winding up order on Mr. Kiddell. the secretary of the New York Graphic (Jo., with its head office here, was served on the suit of seven persons who are creditors to the amount 'ot $91,000. 1 he petitioners allege that the company is insolent and unable to pay its debts, that the assets are only $40,000 while the liabilities are $779,500 and that company has enter ed into a ruinous and illegal contract with the present manager, V . tt. Hinckley, who has virtually obtained control of the concern and etc. Te petition concludes by the demanding that a meeting of the creditors, share holders and members be called for an early date. The president S. F. Hinges, has nothing to say on the subject as Hinckley who ouine here sometime ago and pot full control from the directors. A Minister Uarroted unit ft ok bed. In New York, about seven o'clock Thursday evening, as the Rev. John Owen Bacher, rector of Grace Epis copal church, Harlem, was walking along .tilty -first street, between Fourth and Madison avenue, he was attacked by three men, one of whom clasped him around the throat with boath hands frorn behind, and put ting his knee to nia uaok Dent nis head upward. The second man tore open his coat and tore his waistcoat almist to . shreds The third man relieved him of his watch, val ued at $250, a diamond pin worth $350, two hundred and fifty dollars m bills, and two diamond scart-pins valued at $200 each After almost strangling him they dragged him across the street by the neckband lett him lyingon on .his face on the side walk Theyl then ran away. i or some time Mr. Bacher was uncon scious. The watch was a if ltt from members of his church, and the dia mond pin belonged to his wife. A Denial from (ieo, Sherman, Gen. Wm. T. Sherman has written . -m - 1-1 ,i - r -v a letter to Mr. jonn owinion. 01 iew York, in which he denies having giv en utterance to a prediction attribu ted to him of a coming "armed con test between capital and labor." Gen.
