Not illustrated. 1873 Excerpt: ... cent. on an assumed profit of 420,000?. would have amounted to 175,000?., it does not seem improbable that Mr. Gladstone may have taken the 180,000?. paid by the Bank of England for the two heads above-mentioned, as the ground for proposing this charge. It is evident, however, that even this reduced charge of 25s. per cent. was too high a proportion to levy on the issue of country bankers, who have no exclusive privileges like the Bank of England, and that therefore the payment "for the charter" should have been ljft out of the account. If this were deducted, the rate of duty on the country issue, to correspond with the 60,000?. paid by the Bank of England to the Stamp Office, would be below 10s. per cent.

A payment of 30?. a-year for the privilege of compounding for the issuing notes and short bills, is much too high a tax for a branch bank to pay in a small place. The whole profits from such a bank must be very snail. A payment of $1. a-year would be quite sufficient, and I balieve that the revenue would be a gainer by the change. VI. That security was not required for the circulation. Sir D. Salomons proposed as an amendment, "That previous to "any bank of issue having a house of business or establishment as "bankers in London, or at any place not exceeding sixty-five miles "from London, such bank shall deposit with the Commissioners of "the Nationa...
