WAsHISGTON. Dec. IA more careful examine
tion of the Bank Reserve bill. as il has been pub
lished by the Banking and Currency Commit
tee of the House, shows that it contains
features which were overlooked in the first
reading of It. The bill requires all the banks to
hold reserve on circulation rs well on deposits
requirement that has not existed in the
law since June 20, 1870. The effect OF
this provision would be to increase the
aggregate reserve required to be held
in the banks by about S53. 900 900. and, far as
that Is composed of legal-tendcr notes or of coin
withdrawn from the Government by the deposit OF
legal-tender notes. 1t would be contraction of the
currency. II tho bill should become a law.
1t would also require all country banks to
keep one-half of all their reserves in cash e. coin y"
in their own vaults. Now they are required TO
keep only two-ffths of those reserves and tue one
half would be on circulation and deposits, while
now it is on deposits alone.
The New York City banks are now allowed to count
Clearing House certificates and deposits in other
banks as part of their reserves. The Buckner bill
would require one-haif of the increased reserves 10
consist entirely of cash ('' coin y. In the
other reserve cities One-half of the reserves
of the banks must now be kept at home
and the committee would require onehaf of that to

that he was an independent can

this danger that compelled Banks

With characteristic gush the edi-
tor of our evening contemporary asks

"Why, does it know that the Demo.
cratic party is honorable, truthful and
just ?" qaz arza
We do not know anything of the
kind. After somewhat careful
observation of that party, extend
ing through period Of twenty
years, we confess that we have ar
rived at just the opposite conclu-
sion. We have always known good
men in the Democratic party, but
they have not been leaders, in the
sense of shaping its policy. Its
policy has been neither honorable,
truthful nor just. We will not
go into details, but appeal to the
record of the party. from 1856,
when James Buchanan was inaugu-
rated President, down to the present
time, to sustain the truth of what
we say, Let any intelligent, honest
Democrat take the party platforms,
the Democratic administration of
National and State affairs, and the
course of recognized Democratic
leaders, and study them carefully.
If he can reach the conclusion that
the party has been honorable,
truthful and just" then we'll give it
up. We do not mean a partizan
politician, whose daily business it is
to make people believe that black
is white, that folly is wisdom and
that vice is virtue, but, as stated
an intelligent, honest Democrat, fol
such may be found. a5sIo3 aTc.
Truthful Think of that in con.
neetion with Tennessee Democracy,
and suppress a smile or blush il
you can. Truthful indeed! Was
the Democratic platform of 1878
truthful, that miserable sham writer
by Gov. Marks !? It was conceived
in falsehood. It was brought forth
to deceive. In matter and spirit i
was mischievious lie. Its mission
was to misrepresent. Its object
was fraud, It was the child of
political prostitute. It stinksin tn
nortrils of honest men and without
regard to party lines, they
look upon with contempt
Honorable! Is it honorable fo
aparty to couch its platform in am
biguous language, SO that the Stat
credit Democrats of East, Middl
and West Tennessee might be toll
it meant State credit, and the repr
diatiohists that it meant do
taxes7?'' Is it honorable to tell on
man or one section that you are fc

the opposite ? To be plain, is
honorable to misrepresent and lie
the people? Honorable, TRUTH,
