WHY WITHDRAW THE LE-
GAL TENDERS.

A correspondent of the New York
Commercial Bulletin, writing TO that
paper says: "As our banking and
currency systems are likely TO be
more or less affected by the change
III the rate of interest on the public
debt, permit me to offer the follow
ing suggestions as a basis at which
future legislation on these questions
should aim. Abrogate the forced
legal reserves OF the banks let each
bank keep whatever amount it deems
necessary to its daily operations.
Allow the national banks to issue
small noies-why force costly, in
convent coin on the community
when almost costless, convenient
bank notes are preferred Stop
coming silver-why levy taxes on
the people to purchase silver to be
coined when the community refuses
to use it? Why withdraw The legal
tenders and needlsssly increase Ihe
interest bearing debt Of the country
to the extent Of S346, 900, ,0002 At 3
per cent they would impose a bur
den OF el0, $50 900 per annum on the
country, and deprive the banks and
the community of a useful, con-
venlent currency.
Why sboald banks assume the engage
lnent 10 pay their deposits on demand
In con when these deposits only repre-
s-nt the loans ana discounts OF the
banks AID deposits of hank notes and
legal tenders? Banks should accept
checks drawn against deposits IN pay
ment OF all Indebtedness of the COM
munity to The banks, but they should
moi be Obliged 10 give what they have
lever received from their dealers. Why
should net balances OF trade between
nations be liquidatsd by bank credits !?
Why nsedlessly transport coin to and fro
when not needed by the recipients ?
The clause In the National Bank act,
hat the banks must keep on hand In
gal tender notes or coin GER
tam perce ntage of the amount
II their entire liabilities, should be alb
rogatsd also. Every banker should be
the judge of the amount Of reserves
necessary TO his operations. If he fails
force him to liquidate, and a better man
vii AXE his place and fill the vacuum
which his failure caused"

The Reduction i'll
Clothing at Oak
Hall.

The clothing marked
down Saturday comprised
about 5000 suits and over
coats. Both the suits and
the overcoats are various
enough to constitute a
complete stock of them
selves, so that you may
be reasonably sure Of find
ing among them what will
both suit and fit you.
Some of the very lowest
priced mems suits we make
.,ro among them; $40 red, ced
to $8 so, and some of all
grades up to excellent suits
at $25, reduced to so and
$27 so reduced to S25.
A $40 overcoat at SIC so
is not to be missed on a cold
morning. Even the boys,
whose clothing has been wait
ing for this cold snap will mt
object to the taking off of
three or four dollars from
the cost of suit and overcoat.
Remember this All these
garments were made by our
people, under our own eye,
and before this reduction
were marked as low as they
ought to be sold, We c"uldn't t
afford to reduce them, but
we must sell ia ter to keep up
with our work people.
We know how to sell fas.
ter viz, by selling lower.
We have been selling faster
for nineteen years, faster than
our competitors. That we
have done of course by sell
inc lower Now wa have ia
sell faster thln ourselves,
and down goes a part of our
stock, whether we can afford
it or not.
Whatever you don't like
bring back. If there be

Among the finest displays for tho
holidays Is that of Lizzie W. Stock
Icy, No. 4l9 Market street. In Sc
lecting goods for presents, she has
been very careful to purchase none
but what are OF the best qn lity,
and so diversified are the selections,
that those who desire TO purchase
cannot fail to get suited. A visit to
the store discloses the fact that be-
sides her usual stock of fine goods
she has on hand as fine a collection
of dolls that can be found in the
city; dolls of all sizes aud makes.
In handkerchicfs, an article that
always is acceptable as present,
there is fine selection of silk and
linen, that are marked down to
prices that suits the times. Zephyr
goods are displayed in abundance
also hosiery OF all kinds. In toys
well, they must be seen in order TO
realize the great supply. Besides
the above hastily mentioned articles
she has many others too numerous
and the want of space forbids men
lioning. Call and examine them for
yourselves.
