Sis FOR STATE'S RIGHTS South Carolina Appeals From Judge GofTs Decision. WILL IT DE REVERSED IS A QUESTION. Governor Kvans Kays Ho la Confident ot Wluniug The lleault of the Move Leaves the Political Outlook Little Doubtful. Coi.rMr.iA, S. C, May 27. All eyes are now turned towards Richmond, tho capital of the confederacy, and it seems a littlo strange thiit that city of all others should be the plaee where South Carolina will make her appeal from the decision of .Judge Golf on the registra tion laws laws so intimatel connect ed with events of the lato unpleasant ness a decision in which frequent ref erences were made to the causes lead ing up to this unploasantness. Yet this week South Carolina through her attorneys will appear there and before a eouit of appeals of tho United States make her appeal for states' rights. The result of tho move that has been decided upon by the .states leaves the political outlook a little in doubt just now. There is a possibility that the court may reverse J udie Golf's decision in which ease tho entire situation will le very much changed. It is not gen erally thought, however, that the court will make any such reversal, and in that eaoo the uncertainty will simply amount to a delay in the campaigning. The state is very hopeful of winning the appeal. This afternoon Assistant Attorney General Townsend and General Ed ward McCrady, of Clia rlebton, and Sen ator Joseph W. Iiarmvell will leave for Richmond to 'appear tomorrow before the United States court of appeals and ague the motion to have that court docket the appeal and lix a day for a hearing. They will also oppose the motion in the other registration cases to make the supervisor of registration of Newberry county a parti to the suit Governor Evans, in an interview yes terday, says that he is confident of having (loft reversed. He says more over, that no matter what may be done, he proposes to havo the constitutional convention held and the election con ducted in such a way that no shadow can ever rest on tho constitution that is mado, so far as the federal constitu tion is concerned. The republicans of the state are pursuing a waiting policy. They say they are prepared to prevent tho supervisors of registration from violating Judge Golf's order next Mon day, though Governor Evans had in structed his supervisors to go ahead as if the injunction was never issued. They are preparing to organize. State Chairman Melton says, republican leagues for work in the national cam paign in every section of the state and will have a delegation at the national league meeting held in Cleveland next week. CAROLINA'S ASSIGNMENT ACT. Dissenting Opinion of Associate Justirp Avery of tbr hnprrnio Court. Raleigh, N. C, May 27. One of the most interesting things about the no table caso of Carr against Coke, involv ing the legality of the "abnipnment act," is the opinion of Associate Justice Avery. It is a powerful one. lie dis sents from the opinion of Chief Justice Faircloth and the majority of the court. Justice Avery says : "Whcu, therefore. It is provided In section 16, article S, of the consti tution, that 'all urnnt-s anil (ninmission.s shall he isHueii iu the name ami by authority of tho State of North Carolina, scaled with tho (Treat seal of the Htate, siirnod by the pnvernor and PounterKiunod by the wx-retnry of state,' and lu section 23, article !i. that 'all bills, etc., shall be sinned by the pit'siduw onli-era of the two houses," tho one clause Is heded about with Do more of the divinity of sovereignty than the other." "To the Huiwstloii that possible evils may ensuo from Hustaiiiina the power of the courts to impeach tho validity of a statute, it may be answered that the announcement that the constitution Is o shield for manufacturers of forirert laws will Indeed open open u I'ando ru's box out of which will issue invitations to those who ore capable of such crime to throna the lobbies of our legislative halls and make. by bribery, forgery and other fraudulent prac tices, the laws which should be framed to af ford remedies for the grievances and protec tion to the rights of the people."

In talking over the chances of Judge Goff for the re publican nomination, Mr. Mason said: Never before in the history of the country has It been so ncocssury to have a southern man head the ticket. Tlie elections durina tho pust year In the south huve shown that that .section Is more than ready to como into the republican ruuks if local prejudices can te broken down. Republican doctrines are spi'uaitiui; in all the iimnufiieturiiur und other industrial districts of tho southern states and the liberal element there would like to Indorse these principles by voting lor a republican president. Louisiana inl'ht be carried by the republicans, and if a Juduo (iotl were nominat ed West Virginia would surely indorse him and there would be jrreat probability of car ryiuK Viri-inia.

Under a banner with tho inscription "Kouni Currency and Potter Hanking Facili ties" between seven and eight hundred representative men of the southern states assembled at the auditorium yes tcrduy afternoon to express their op position to the doctrine of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and to de clare in favor of the continuance of present monetary conditions. Chairman Crawford of tho looul committee of fifteen assumed the gavel at 2 o'clock. The few words of welcome in behalf of the Muff City were prettily und (jniekly spoken and permanent organisation was then in order.', Mr. Clnrke. of Alabama, presented the name of General Catchinis, of Mis sissippi, as permanent chairman, who was elected. A committee on motions was next selected. Just as the com mittee had been completed tfia tail form of Secretary Cnrlisle, emerged from tho stage. In an instant a migh ty shout went up Tlie ovation con tinued for several moments after which Mr. Carlisle began his speech. Among other tilings, Secretary Car lisle said : The preposition to revolut'.onlne our mone tary ,-yt--!:i. i,mi thus destroy the ereiV.t of tho povcrmtun: nnrt tho people nt tu.ii.o 0iu1 abronit. violate nil obliiniUnas of all contracts, ua.M'ttle Bl! exehanj-'oublo values, reduce wages of labor, expel capital from our country and seriously obstruct the trade of our ytuple among t'ien.iolves mut with the people of other countries. Is one which eha!'enjes the iatolli aeuce. patriotism sm.l commercial honor of every Hi'iii to whom It is addressed. No mr.tter what mny be the real purpose and motive of those who make the proposition to leualtue the free coini-e of silver at the ratio 10 to 1, thi'so are the consequences Involved In their sola mo, and la ;ny opinion cannot bo avoided If it should bo adopted. In no part of the country will the conseijuenccs of such a policy prove more Injurious to th.') materlul In terests of, the people than iu the undeveloped and progressive south. I do not charjro that our fellow-cltUens who propose to revolutionize our monetary system really desire to see the business of tho country ruined, or oven injured, but in my judgment, the re.-nlts would bo most disastrous, and therefore, I appeal to tnem to carefully review the (.'rounds before it is too lute to correct a possible mistake upon a subject of such su preme Importance to themselves and to their posterity. The secretary reviewed at some, length the history of the use of gold and silver as moneys, and went on to saj : The "lercentaite of coin actively employed in conductlua business In this country is so small that It Is almost inappreciable; so small in fact, tii:t its disuse in our transactions would be felt '' vo had a substitute for It, or papor representatives of the subsidiary pieces. Al though we have the pold standard lu tnts coun try , our actuu 1 stock of fold bullion and coin amoun; t(fnly about one-third of our actual currency, a condition of affairs which would have bf 011 inconceivable a few centuries ago. Our (roi l, full lopnl tender silver, old United States notes, treasury notes and subsidiary silver coin aKuropate ?l.S4,Ton.7i'3. exclusive of the minor coin, and every dollar of this vast amount is kept equal In value to the staudard established by law. This Is the financial con dition whlvh the advocates of free cotuaKe at 16 to 1 now propose to revolutionise by a chanae la the standard of value, so that the whole mass of circulation for the use of tho people would be reduced to about one-half the purcbaslrjr power it ha now. H has been contended by many advocates of free colmino that the eileot of their policy would be not to abolish the present standard of value and substitute the slturle poM stand ard In its place, but tbat it would establish what they call bl-rnetalU.sm und a double stan dard. I confess my Inability to understand what is meant by double standard because I cannot conceive how it is possible to have two different lewal measures of the same thlnp at the same time as for Instance, a pound weifjh Inff sixteen ounces and another el(iht ounces. . After quoting various authorities on the subject of bi-jietallism. Secretary Carlisle said: It is proposed that the United States with out tho co-operp.tlon of any other (rovornment, shall provide by law that all sliver bullion or foreign sliver coins that may bo presented at the mint by individuals or corporations, for elpn or domestic, shall be coinod at the public expense. Into silver dollars at the. ration r,f 1(1 to 1 with cold, and that the coins so made shall tie delivered to those presenting the bullion oud to all people of tha United States. Dut nobody else shall bo compelled by law to re ceive them as dollars of full -alue All who are Indebted to us before, huvo the privilege of paylnft in silver, whlk1 nil to whom we become indebted ore to huve the privilege of requiring us to pay in (fold. The attempt to coin the two metals without limit as to the amount Into k;&ml money and keep both in circulation at the same time has tieen made by nearly every civilized nation and has failed. Our country la not without experi ence upon this subject und the resul's here were just the some as every one else expe rienced. All who have been or mar be induced to yivo their support to thti revolutionary policy up on the assurance that it will jrlve the country more money for use lu tho transaction ot bu lnci will bo pieatly disappointed, for they will find, when it Is too lute, that instead of havlnii more money they will have less wm and that It will bf; depreciated In value be sides. The introduction Into the currency of tin; country of any kind of money about which there is the least doubt, will alwuys operate to drive out the same amount, or about tlie sinno, of better money and thus leave tho peo ple with about tlie same volume of currency they had ot the beulnniua. Frcecolnafro would absolutely give us a de preclatlna and fluctuating currency and the question is whether tho producers of exporta ble articles will be benefitted by such n r'-sult. The character of value of the. currency in use In the produclnu country does not affect tho price of the money abroad to any extent what ever. 13ut. If our monetary system were so chanircd that It would require two dollars to purchase hero what one dollar would purchase now, the exchange witn lorei-rn countries would be double, making us pay twice os much In our money as now. while the foreigner would pay only half as much in money in the same number of dollars as he pays now. The assertion thut the fall in prices since 1S73 Is due to the appreciation of pold alone is bssed upon the assumption that the relations between supply and demand have not chanped so that there has been no diminution of tho cost of tho production and distribution; that the facilities for uffectinp financial exchanges have not been Improved; in short that tho world has made no prepress in the conduct of Its industrial and commercial operations for more than twenty years. This assumption is so inconsistent with tho well known economic and historic facts that it seems scarcely worth while to give it consider ation. The orcrument that the reduction of prices In due to the appreciation of Roll and that tho legislation In regard to silver has produced a scarcity of redemption of metallic money la tho world, are both assumptions not justilicd, by the facts. Exhaustive inquiries to ascer tain tho actual amount of (told and silver used as money In tho world, shows that there is now more gold and silver In the a?irrcirato and more of each one of them in use us fuli Ic-al tender money than ever at any other time in the history of the world. The geld in use amounts to W.OfiS.wo. onn. the full lrgul tender silver to 3,K.KO.ono and the limited legal ten der silver to fc'is .vi ,. . Pitcher's Castoria. xue poncy of maintaining or rather attempt ing to maintain the so-called double standard never succeeded in keeping so largo an omount Of full legal tender silver In circulation In the world as there is nt this time. So far as the ruore volume of our currency Is concerned, wo have ample supply for aU neces sary purposes, but under the existing synteui it is not properly distributed and Is not suffl clently elastic to meet all the changing re- sa ui a.nerent periods 01 the year. I The United States should get entirely out of tho banking bus-.ness by tho withdrawal of lu arbitrary and compulsory issue of notes, aod aflord the people an opportunity to apply their own currency, based upon their means and credit, thus requiring every community to use ltd resources when necessary and adjust tho circulation from time to time to the actual de mands of lCfc'ltiiriaU! commerce. Iu what way this shall be accomplished is a question which has already seriously ongaged the uttentlon of the people and authorities, and which will, do doubt, coutiaue to bo discussed until a plan la devised which. If nut jx ifeet, will ut least have the merit of being a great Improvement upon the existing system. In tlie moantimo our highest duty Is to preserve the present stand ard of vuluo. ond keep all the money in circu lation equal in Its purchasing power. When the speaker concluded he was given a final ovation and a recess until 8 o'clock was at onee taken. When tho convention reassembled at 8:50 p. m. the following resolutions were presented : The people of the southern strvtes who be lieve the mnli.tet'.ance of a sound and stab's currency to be e.sei.lial to the prosperity ef wjoie eouii'.ry and tho welfare of the p.o-ph-Infill divisions of life, do, through their representatives In convention assembled ut Memphis n May Ckl. lsi, rmike the followln declaration of their in- turcd convictions- 1. Believing a unlf-jim and certain standard of value accessary to the agricultural, com meicl il and industrial d( vcl.-pmci.t und proa lrlty "f (i.ir enmiun cuuntzy, .ie favor the maintenance uf ail our money whether gold, sliver or paper. u:i a parity U the end th'it each dollar, whatever may N. Its compui llu.n, shall havo equal irurchas!ti? and debt paying powers with every other dvliur. 2. Profiting by the experience of Washing ton, Jefferson and namtlton. a! d tho teachings of the fc're it students of monetary science. irom me time when John Locke wrote, to tho discussion of the present i'ay, we accept tho truth of the principle now unlversnlly recog nized uud applied In the commei-'-lul world, that the bimetallic Htandurd eunmt be main tained where the ratio fixed bv law for the freo colnaite of gold and silver docs not correspond wuu tne maruet ratio t.f the two metals; and wherever and whenever the k'cal or cotnago ratio varies from the market or commercial ratio to any appreciable extent, the dollar, whether of gold or silver, which thereby be comes moro valuable us bullion than os money, win go to a premium mid retire from circula tion. We saw this principle applied in our own national experience when under tho act of ls. which fixed the coinage ratio at 15 to 1, gold retired from circulation because of a slight decline in the price of silver in the open market, whereby the bullion in tho gold dollar became worth a few cents more than the bul lion in a Hilver dollar and was therefore sold as a commodity because it was worth moro as bullion thun as money, and again under tho act of 1834, which fixed the ratio ut 16 to 1. when tho silver coin retired for a like reason, We are, therefore, opposed to the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1 when the market or commercial ratio Is more than 30 to t. and the difference between the bullion valuo of a gold ond a silver dollar lu about fifty cents, on tho ground thot such action. Instead of restor ing the bimetallic standard would inevitably result In silver monometallism. 3. At this time thero Is no country in the world which maintains the bimetallic stand ard and neither is there any country where the free caiuago of silver obtains which la not on s silver basis. Each country, on account ot its inability to adopt independently any bime tallic standard, must olect for ltsselt which It prefers, the gold or the alivor standard. We, therefore, favor, in the absence of Internation al co-operation, the retention and maintenance of the existing gold standard; bocauso a change from the gold to tho silver standard would have the effect to repudiate all public and private obligations to the extent ot tho difference between the bullion valuo of the gold and silver dollars; because whenever such change should be seriously threatened It would oause an Immediate attempt at n col lection and liquidation of all debts In anticipa tion of tho result it would produce; because such transition from the gold to the allver ba sis woald destroy public and private confi dence and would Involve tho country lu such panic, confusion and distress tho the products of agriculture and the wages of labor would bo unrcmuncratlve; tte) business of commerce would become unproiltabk) and our people en gaged in industrial occupations would bo thrown out of employmcn; because thore Is not a progressive and enlightened country in the world which has not selected gold as tho pro feruble standard; because gold standard coun tries retain silver in their circulation on a parity with pold whereas there Is no silver standard country which does or can utilize gold as money; because there Is no a silver country on the globe whero the wages of labor are sufllclent to sustain tho working classes comfort and Independence, and finally tocausO the high destiny of tho United StnU'S demand for the use of the Americun people thot money which experience hiw; taught mankind to bo the best suited for the promotion of commerce, the development of monufactnre, tho encour oitementof labor and the advancement or civ ilization. 4. Wo would rejoice over tho adoption of real bimetallism but In view of tho continued fluc tuations of the price of silver in tho open mar ket we realize tliat it Is impossible for tho United States independently to adopt a bi metallic standard ; and when wc deem it un wise and hazardous to the best interest! of Its people for this country to attempt Its estab lishment. Wo fuvor tho policy of this country standing In the attitude of roudiu ss at ull times to co-operate ith the other powers In any effort they may Inaugurate looking to the adoption of true bimetallism; but in the mean time and until successful co-operation Is In sured, to maintain inviolate its existing stand ard of value. 5. Wo favor tho retention as part of our money the silver now coined, and In order to glvo a wider field for tho use of silver we favor tho funding of all money other than silver ond 6llver eertttlctito below the nomination of ten dollurs into higher denominations so as to muke our entire circulation below the denomi nation of ten dollars, either silver or silver cer- tlllcates ; and to this end, the secretory of tbo treasury should bo authorized by law to coin from time to time as the people may require them, silver dollars until the demand of com merce for money lielow tho denomination of ten dollars Is at nil times satisfied. ft. Wo realized that our national banking sys tem was adopted during a time of war and that it is not adapted to existing conditions, wo, therefore, favor such legislation as will secure to tho people a system of Ixinklng surrounded by such safeguards us will at all times furnish them a safe, elastic, sulllcient currency for the transaction of their business. 7. We cannot too highly commend the un flagging courage and sturdy patriotism of President Cleveland in his efforts to protect the national honor and to maintain tho publio credit during a period of great financial dis tress oud under eondit ons which threatened danger to both ; wo congratulate him and tho entire country on the evidences of returning prosperity.
