banks naturally become greatest. IL
would be desirable, too, that the banks
of the interior should be required, within
reasonable time, to provide themselves with
specie for the greater part of their reserve.
But it is not desirable, even in order to reach
these excellent ends. to plunge the country into
another panic and to arrest the tide of pros
perity which Republican legislation has
brought. No doubt Mr.. Buckner and other
Democratic members will see that it is not
best for them to load their party down by a
mistake so serious
New-York tribune., 1879-12-09

Mr.. Buckner has been authorized by the
Committee on Banking and Currency to re-
mort an important bill, of which the text was
given on Saturday. The object of the
bill is praiseworthy; 1t aims to prevent
the excessive dependence of the country banks
upon those of this ana other reserve cities,
and to promote the distribution of coin,
and requires all banks to keep GER
tain reserves, one-half in coin, without
counting as part of the coin any balances
due from banks in the reserve cities. But Mr..
Buckner himself we feel sure, will see that
the bill in its present form would produce
other and disastrous results. There is little rea
son to fear the bill as it stands can ever become
a law, but it is a pity that measure con-
tanning so much that Is excellent should be
rendered mischievOus and be doomed To de-
feat by few errors which might easily be
corrected.
The bill REQUIRES all banks to hold reserves
amounting, in the reserve cities. to 25 per
cent. and IN all other places to 10 per cent,
Of their circulation and deposits. The banks
ara not required by existing law to hold any
other reserve against circulation than the 8
per cent redemption fund, now amounting to
S15.7s2,7I5. BY the bill the reserve re-
ouired against circulation of S9O.629,OS9
October y in the reserve cities would be
S22. .657,272 and against a circulation of
so23. 1928 in the other banks October p
would be S33, ,473, $50 total reserve required
against circulation. $56130,S S62, an in
crease OF orer forty millions To lock
ND so large sum. now free, would
he a measure of contraction far more severe
than any gradual retirement of greenbacks
now proposed. The bank potes are abund-
antly secured already. by the deposit of
limited States bonds and the system
of redemption, and there is no need
of a withdrawal of forty millions of
money from active use i'll order to add to that
securitv. But this is not the worst feature of
the bill. 1t would preclpitate general bank
ruptcy and widespread disaster, by forcing a
sudden withdrawal of all their specie from
the banks OF this city.
As Mr.. Buckner surely does not contemplate
such a violent change, it is proper 10 point
ont how the bill would cause it. The PROPOSE
ton is to require that half of the entire
reserve shall be in coin, and that no balances
with reserve agents or elsewhere shall be
counted as part of that coin. What amount
of coin the banks outside of this city would
thus be compelled TO hold, and what amount
they held according TO the statement of
October 9, are here shown in millloDsi

EUROPE1N AEEAIRN.

Our own full crops and returning prosperity
have put us into so comfortable state oil
complacency that we do not realize how
threatening is the present condition OF affairs
in Europe. There is impending faminein Ire
land, and actual famine in Silesia. Every
where preparations for war are going on, and
this though there seems to be no adequate
cause FOR war anywhere. There was probably
never such general and uneasy discomfort
when there was no great revolutionary or
religious question at Issue. Republican organs
everywhere exaggerate the imminent danger
of an outbreak in this country or that. The
Glds TchcyndgOstd says: " The situation OF
Europe now has three characteristics: FAM
"ne, deficit In budgets. and preparation for
"war. Armies are being reinforced and Ma
tiOnal debts increased, while the labOring
"mass of the people starve unhindered."
This is IN extreme way of putting the mat
fer but il has fair mOdlcum of truth. Col
lsion between any of the five Great Powers
usually involves temporary misery and the
weakening if not the actual ruin OF the
smaller States From each of these,
therefore, come signs of increasing alarm.
In England. if may judge by the
tone of papers always aggreSslvely English In
antagonism to every other part of the globe,
there is good deal of justiiable trepi-
dation felt at her dependence upon
America for her food supply. The
Pal Mall Gazette says: 1t is now as
"certained that we shall require not less than
"lS, S,OOO.O 900 quarters of wheat from outside
Sources during the coming year. or 100000
"more than was at first officially estimated.
Here lies the paramount necessity for a
stronger navy. We cannot afford to run
1.-THE slightest risk of temporary blockade.
with millions of men dependent upon coun-
tries thousands of miles distant for their
daily bread. what would be the result
"of even fortnights short supply r
The Adrertiscr echoes the alarm, de-
claring that out of every five loaves of bread
eaten in England in 1880 three must come from
the United States and Russia, and that the same
condition of affairs is likely to continue in
future.
The only cheering suggestion In all this Is a
purely selfish one, aud that is the probability
that we shall remain friendly with most Eu-
ropean Powers for a century to come. They
are not likely to quarrel with nation with
whom cessation of intercourse means starya-
ton for themselves.
