Mr.. Trenholm and, National Banks


The Comptroller of the Currency, Mr..
Trenholm, thinks the time has come for
Congress to take some action for the pres
eryation of the national banking system.
he points out that the rapidity with which
the bonds OF the government are being
paid, and the consequent rapid rise In the
market price OF those of the bonds which
are not vet matured insures the destruc-
ton of the national banking system unless
something is done to preserve 1t.
All OF the 3 per cents. will soon be
paid. and. therefore. will cease to be
available as basis for circulation, and
the premium on the AS and As
is now so great that it hardly pays
to purchase them for banking purposes.
Comptroller Trenholm considers all the
objections of the national banking system.
and concludes that it is the best banking
system the country has ever had, aud has
given better satisfaction. 1t meets the
wants of the people fully, and at the same
time provides a currency that is uniform,
and in which there is the utmost conf
dence. The notes OF broken bank are
as good as those OF sound one. Indeed
the national bank notes are accepte d
without any apprehension Of any kino.
Now and then a counterfeit is put in cir
culaton. The government, however,
| furnishes the detectives TO hunt the cou m
terfeiters and the amount of bad notes
afloat is never at any time large.
Doubtless there Will be many sugges-
tons relative to ways to perpetuate the
national banking system, and it is not
improbabl that there will be efforts m ade
TO destroy it altogether. The chances are,
some shape or other. 1t is too good an
Institution, and is too highly appreciated
by the people, to permit it to decay and
gradually disappear.
IL seems that the Comptroller has re
ceived some suggestions respecting legis-
lation looking TO its preservation, and he
makes some suggestions Of his own in his
report 1t is well that the attention OF
Congress has been called TO this matter
thus early, because it is something that
cannot be settled In a short time. II will
require much discussion, and il is not
certain that any satisfactory way for con-
tInuing the system, or that any substitute
for IT will be discovered. Mr.. Chase, VINO
was Secretary OF the Treasury under Mr..
Lincoln, has the credit OF originating the
system, and there are those who insist
that be got his idea OF II from the works
Of Alexander Hamilton. lie who orlgi.
mates the way 10 preserve 10 will gain
fame N nothing more.

A conference of all organizations inter-
ested IN the handling OF cotton at New
Orleans has been called for to-day at the
Cotton Exchange in that city. Doubtless
everybody will say that there ought to be
a reduction in the cost OF handling cotton
and that such a reduction is necessary
TO save the cotton trade Of the city, but
the chances are that no one OF the asso-
cIations or organizations will consent TO
have its charges reduced. Every associa-
tion thinks the charges of every other as
ISOLATION too high. When each associa-
tIon thinks It's own charges too high, re-
ductions will be possible.

Tariff reform is not free trade, although
interested protectionists would endeavor
10 convince the country the tariff REFORM
ers are aiming at it. Tariff reform means
the reduction OF needless taxes and ex-
cessive revenues-a tariff for revenue
with due regard TO the interests Of our
general productive industries. The howl
about free trade is a ridiculous dodge Of
the protectionists to conceal their fears of
an attack upon monopoly.

ale COLORED BROTHER.

The following extract taken from
the New York Freeman, the lead
ing journal of the North published
by colored men, and in the interest
of the race, shows that the eyes of
the more intelligent ones are being
opened to the fact that the colored
voters have been used by the white
Republicans for their own selfish
purposes:
''Tn Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, and Connects
cut we have enough votes to turn
the scales against either party; and
yet we have not made any use Of
this power. Year after year we have
gone to the pohs and voted white
menInto ollice-men who would
not wipe their feet on US after elec
ton; men who pay no attention to
any petition or request we may pre-
fer after the battle is lost or won;
men who, even in the heat OF q can
vass. have treated colored ropresen
/ tahves and spokesman rs if they
were meudicants and ignoramuses,
and told them to their teeth that
they gained nothing by kicking as
! the masses Of the colored voters we're
loyal to the party. We have been
so treated; we have been so told; and
we could say nothing because we

The statement made in the above

better than the white Republican
office-holders. The negroes know
them to be true, shll they have

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

The Republican State Convention
which met in Nashville on Tuesday
last, nominated w. NJ. Randolph,
Of Memphis; W. w, Murray, Of
Huntington; Sam uel Watson, Of
Nash vile. j. A. Warder, of Shelby
vile; and VIM. Baxter. Knoxville;
as yhtir candidates FIR Supreme
Judges. Considering the timber
they had TO select from, it is a very
fair ticket. That either of these
gentlemen will ever occupy a place
on the Supreme Bench of Tennessee
we have not the remotest idea, and
no boubt the nominees regard the
nominations as an empty honor.
This action upon the part of the
Republicans knocks the nOn-parti-
zan judiciary craze into q cooked
hat With straight democratic and
republican tickets in the field, every
democrat will rally to his party
candidates. and the whole ticket Will
be triumphanuy elected. The in
terests Of the whole people are safer
in the hands Of a democratic than a
republican Supreme bench. Let
them consider the condition Tennes-
see would have been in to-day, il
the court which tried the 1908 case
had been composed of Republican
Judges.

CHANcELLORs CONYENTI0N,

CHANCELL0RS CONVENTION.
The democrats Of this Chancerv
Division met in convention, on
Monday last, at jackson, for the
purpose Of nominating a demo cratic
candidate for Chancellor. All eight
of the counties composing the divI~
sion were well represented, and the
most perfect good feeling prevailed.
1t was evident that tie Hon. A. q.
Hawkins was the choice of a large
majority Of the delegates, before the
convention was called to order, Hon.
r.. W. Haynes having withdrawn
from the race. After a temporary
aud permanent organization was
effected, the convention proceeded to
take a ballot for q candidate for
Chancellor, and MIR. Hawkins was
nominated on the first ballot, he bav
ing received about 100 votes, while
Mr.. Dunlap received about 20 votes.
Mr.. Hawkiffs was declared the
nominee Of the convention, amid
great enthusiasm A committee,
appointed for that purpose, escorted
the nominee to the stand, and he
accepted the nomination IN an ap-
| propriate speech of a few minutes.
! The convention then adjourned and
the large crowd dispersed, all feel
ing perfectly satisfied with its work.
We did not hear a word of dissatis-

may be as well to remark that Mr..
James Phelan nor any other man can
go to congress from the tenth Tenn
essee district on a platform of that
kind. THE majarity Of the voters of
this district favor, without prevarica-
ton or mental reservation, a tariff

in favor Of a reform and reduction
Of the present tariff, and who is an
advocate of a protective tariff. We
believe the democrats can win with
such candidate in this Congresaion-
al district. But whether can or not,
they can, at most, suffer an honora~
defeat III an honest effort to uphold
the principles of democracy,
which Is preferable to the election Of

to elect their candidates.

DESCRIPTION.

The banner was of blue silk, Dor
dered with gold fringe, the points
terminating in gold tassels, On the
right side it bore in the center q
double portrait of jackson and Bell,
handsomely painted. Above the
two portraits was the number 1885. "
Below it, inscribed in gold letters
on a crimson scroll, were the words,
Their followers, the democracy of
to-day" On the reverse side, on
a deep crimson ground, was blazOn-
ed the words, democratic banner"
In the center is the coat of arms of
the state, around which was the
legend, presented by the state ex-
ecutive committee for the greatest
increased majority"
AS stated in the remarks of Mr..
1rousdale, the democrats of this
county will have to give that banner
up. so soon as they fail to keep the
lead. To keep if, every democrat
must do his whole duty, and present
an unbroken front to the enemy.
We can do it. ana we believe that
we will.
