Hapld as the progress of tho world hasbeen in the arts, sclences, and oyery feature of modern clylll- zation, its most rapid’ advancement hag been in the creation of colossal national dcbts to support yast standing armies and provide material of war in time of pence. ‘Tho Frankfort correspondent of the London ‘Limeg recently made an estimate of tho gen- eral budgets, showing that tho public ex- penditura In Europe has inereased in four- teen years from $1,900,000,000 to $2,02%,000,000, In Russta and Germany ft wag actually more than ‘double fn 1870 what It was In 1605, During tha same period national gepis aye Increased fram $18,190,000,000 to $21,620,- 000,000,.—an ayer Increngo of $000,128,- S32 per qunym. Of thesa yast amounts tho lurgest proportion !3 spent in the qilitary and naval ‘services. Gormany Spent int 1865 over $50,000,000 on Its army and lrayy, and Jast year $105,000,000; Ryssfa $105,000,000 ni} $180,000,000, respectively, England and France spent In 1805, resnact- ively, $135,000,000 and $85,000,000, and Inst yeur $100,090,000 nid $15,000,000, ‘Those amounts will be still further Increased this year, as there ls a genoral inercasa of arnna- ments, garrigons, forts, annies, and war ma- terial all over Europe, and meanwhile, with the exception of Engjand and JJqlland, there jing been no deerense of debt. For this im- mense outlay there {s no adequate. return, and there ls no hope for the future, because the demand fof jren and money will goon Syerensing until that yery problemat}eal tlme arrives when some one nation will be strong enough to demand and enforce A generl dis- armament, ‘The Dlnes, in disc respondent's letter, 8 “4f ovor thoro was an appotite Wi with fooding, the pppoe which for lurger war-budguts and greutor grmios ts such fnona, Men's homes are no dearer to thom in 2880 than they were fn 1805.

General poverty, infsery, and distress, In : Russia, mniltions of people are steeped in the most abject Ignorance and wrotchedness, seougged with epidemi¢s, ond suffering with hunger. With all her vast stawing army, and tho millions upon millions she spends overy year, Husgla cannot protest. her ruler from the plots of assaylus, her fitnetlonastes from the nasaults of Nihilist, of her public property from the toreh of the incendiary, It is hard to conecelyo of. a huger satire than the spectacle of this vast standing army kept up for purposes of protection and unable to pees the Government itself from the qsgaulta pfa handful of Nihilists.

Sho is hopelesly plunged in debt, almost ontirely by reason of hor iilitary ex- nendltures incurred In trying to keep up with her more powerful neighbors, and her People nre discontented, out of work, and agitating rovolutlonary meastires, A tithe of the money spent by England upon her army and nayy and squandered Jn uneighteons forelgn wars would bring relict to her stary- ing thousands in Iroland, Of all the European nations, France ia the only one that 1s nat sulfering from the immediate eqn. sequences of military expondititre, and the only one that fs not fncreasing Hs expend: ture fastar than its resources warrant, iow much longer this constant inerease of armies and taxation ang this, enormous strain upon tho Industries of the people eqn con- tite no one can sqy, butitis evident that therg must bo 9 point where ft will end iy Qcragh and univergal bankraptey, ‘I'he toll- Ing masses of Europe who support this vast outlay cannot do it much longer.

The mogt important conclusion which the Committee has derived from the Invest} gation Is that the Directors utterly negloctod to atten to their duty. The fact seems to bo that Mr. Greene- ‘baum was permitted to run the bank 4s it it wero oxclusively his own, and that he used the funds belonging to the depositors as If.) tho rights of the latter were entirely subor- dinate to his own judginent and interests, In- stead of being guarded, as thoy shauld have been, by tho restrictions of the Natlongl- Banking ruleg, . - There is no doubt that- Natjonal-bank Di- rectorg in tha pnt liayo oxhipited a yory common indifference to their responalbill- ties under the law, I¢ may be that the fall- ures which occurred in considerable num- bers two or three years ago baye served aga warning to bank Directors to keep them- selves better Informed a3 to the current man- agement of institutions in which they have assumed g paered truat; but the force pf this warning would have beeq materially in- creaged had the penaltics of tha Bank act bean enforced in flugrant cases of dereliction, Every Director ts required to take an oath to diligently and honestly administer the affairs of tho bank, and not to yiolate nor know- ingly permit to be violated any of the provis: fous of the Nutlonal-Bank Inw. The rulg for tho regulation of the banking business under tho National law, would, ff striotly obeyed, almost surply avert loss to tho depositora, and it Is the duty of tha Directors to sco that the bank Js managed In conform- ance to these rules, Among ‘some of’ the prohibited practices which have heen shown to be common in banks that have fylled nay be mentioned the following: Not moro than one-tenth of the capita) stock may be loaned to gny one person or company no bank may make a loan on the security of {ts own shares; all debts overdug and wnpald during 8 period of six months must be charged up ag bad debts; dividends must not exceed pet profits; no loans may be made whey the ror sorya Js holow tho limit reaulred by law; no eheck can bo Jawfully certitled except the drawer has gn amoynt pt yopey on actual deposit equal ta the amauntsperified In the check. If these and other provisions of tho law, wore strigtly enforced In evory instance, the fullure of a National bank would be so rare ‘an event as to be equally startling with abonk failure in England, .
