VANCE. ensue and opposite legislation will con tinue the cry of 'bankers panic' " These utterances of Senator Z. Ii Vance on a question of Rrcat interest will be welcomed in the realm of his con stituency as the voice of the patiiot whose fidelity to his people is as un swerving as the daily round of the sun. Senator Vance was seen Wednesday by The Citi.i:n ait G-Miibroon, his Bummer lodge in the heart of the Hlack Moun tains, and when asked for a talk on sil ver replied as above and, taking a man uscript from the desk before him, said that he had just embodied his views on the all absorbing question in a letter to the Mecklenburg County 1'armcr's Alli ance, "of which I aill be glad to give you a copy." The letter was written in response to a reiiuest from the Alliance to the North Carolina Senators and Representatives for an expression of their views on the silver question and urging them to op pose the unconditional repeal of the Sher man law. The letter follows : Gomiikoum, N. C, J ul v 1H, 1S03. A'. W. Elliott, Esq., Secretary Mecklen burg county Alliance. Sir : I have received a copy of the resolutions of Mecklenburg Alliance adopted at a recent meeting urging Sen ators and Representatives to stand by the present silver purchasing law until some satisfactory substitute shall be adopted. 1 observed their action with great pleasure for two reasons: In the first place it is in the exercise of one of the most valuable and legitimate functions by which tbe Alliance can lie made to subserve the interest of the farmers the concentration of their whole influence upon the issues of the day. In view of the notorious fact of combinations among all other branches of industry and in every lorm of capital I, years age, urged upon our agricultural classes the importance of such organization as would enable them to make their vast, but widely scattered and disjointed strength felt, promptly and efficiently, in legislation. A Vital issue. Now the preservation of silver as a part of our currency is one of the most vital of all the issues which our people have been called upon to decide for half a century. The enemies of silver money have displayed a wonderful sagacity in their tactics. Though scattered through out the civilized world they have obeyed a single voice from headquarters in London. From New York the word comes down the Hue to all American capital and the response is immediate. What is known as tbe Sherman law is the only legisla tion on our statute books which binds us to t tie use of silver, and the cry is raised for its repeal under various pre tences, all equally false. Tbe banks, stock brokers, bond holders, chambers of commerce, et id oinne genus, clamor for its repeal and urge tbe calling of an extra session of Congress to assemble and sit during the dog days, for that purpose alone. Tariff repeal which formed the chtel issue of tbe last cam paign, is thrust to the rear and the inter est of capital is placed in front to be dealt with under the demoralizing con ditions of a fraudulent panic created by capital Itself, called by Mr. Ingcrsoll, the "bankers' panic." Another Word. Under these alarming circumstances I have listened, and mostly in Tain, for the voice of tbe Farmers' Alliance sounding their opinions and wishes and of those whom they represent, comprising fully one-half of the nation; giving the feeble and vacillating among politicians to un derstand what they had to expect if tbejr betrayed the peoples' cause on this great financial question. The action of your Alliance is the first official utterance on tbe subject I have seen in the State. It is time your order was bringing every atom of its influence to bear. It should use every means possible to let it be known that there is yet another and entirely different world in the fields and liotnes of tou whose interests demand attention, as well as that combination of money dealers, stock brokers, gamblers and speculators who assume for themselves to constitute the "business interests" of the land. The e fleet of this prompt and united action cannot possibly be doubted. In the next place I was glad to rcud the resolutions of your Alliance because it concurred with my own most serious convictions. Many years ago after as thorough and impartial examination of the question as I was capable of making, I came to the absolute conclusion that the use of silver as well as gold, on equal terms as the basis of our currency, was best for the welfare ot the people of the United States. This view has governed my course in Congress. The fact that nature sometimes yielded more of one metal than of the other, thus causing: a discrepancy in their intrinsic values did not disturb me; lor I learned from his tory that for nearly three hundred years during which a ratio between the two metals was fixed by law, the fluctua tions in intrinsic value bad never ex ceeded 3Vi per cent; and that soon after that law was withdrawn great and material fluctuutimisimmediatcly bc);a", which will doubtless continue so long as we treat one metal as of fixed nnd standard value and the other as a com modity. His Convictions CnchanKed. It is not necessary to go over all the grounds on which my conviction- was founded. 1 simply wish to assure you that my opinions are uncbanged. Recent developments which seem to have unset tled so many silver advocates and make them give way to the repeal of the Sher man law, have rather strength ened me in the determination to vield nothing to the mono-mctnlists whose schemes I regard ns absolutely selfish and unpatriotic. The "panic" so indus triously advertised is known now to have been created by them, and will be known hereafter as the "rich man's panic." The explosion of the Indian bomb is already discounted as the grasp- ing by the government of tbe profits of coining silver rupees, winch heretofore had been reaped by British merchants. 1 lie coining will goon as largely as ever; only the India government. will proht the 4-0 per cent, earn and not the merchants. England does not dare to demonetize silver in In- dia which alone enables her to demone tize it at home. There is not spare eold enough in the world to replace the $DOO, 000,000 of silver in that country. Tbe attempt to do so would bankrupt half of Christendom, and England well knows it. The suggestion is pure bluff and can only disturb a politician who holds a very weak band. Nor have the allegations so distress ingly shouted that the Sherman law was causing our gold to leave tbe country had any cttcct on me. from the occln ning 1 knew them to be false. Gold went out because wc owed it abroad and tbe balance of trade was against us. Shipments of wheat have turned the tide, and gold is now coming in. Some of our securities did come home and take otr gold in payment, but this hurt nobody except speculators in them who were fearful the price would fall and they would lose money. But even those which did come from abroad came in consequence ot the scare got up by our own capitalists. Of course foreigners be lieved the stories of ruin and bankruptcy if the Sherman law was not repealed which our own people told them. Finally, I hope it is unnecessary for me to say that the hope ot ingratiating my self with the administration in order to receive patronage at its bands, has in no sense affected my opinion of right in the premises. How far such a motive may operate in the repeal of that law I have no means of knowing; 1 believe, however. it will not go a great way. But let things go as they may it shall be my earnest endeavor to do my duty in maintaining the cause of the people by preserving the character ot their money and increasing its abundance. Very truly yours, Z. It. Vance. The acnator anticipates a struggle in tbe fight over the white metal and be heves that the strength ot its Ii lends in the senate will prevent its demonctiza tion. He said he looked for a session 12 months long. In a reference to the tariff laws the Senator said: "The debt caused bv Re publican extravagance makes it next to impossible for us to make such tariff re duction as wc would like without re sorting to other means of raisinir the needed revenue." BUSINESS MEN'S MEETING A CALL FOR ONC NEXT MOM- DAY EYENINU. Meetluic To Consider The Mllvcr oiiestlou and Appoint Delcaratea To a Commercial Convention To Be Held In Wasblnirton.

Dickcrson & Co. and Blair & Mc Dowell : Below is a copy of the resolutions unanimously adopted by the New York Board of Trade and Transportation at its monthly meeting, held June 14, 1803: "'Resolved, That the present lack of confidence in financial and mercantile circles is due in part to the inflation of credits and to our present monetary system. Resolved, That the experiment of compelling the government to purchase t-.noo.fiOO ounces ol silver montblv has h;ifl a fuir trial, and hnn nroven tr hp a detriment to till commercial interests and has created distrust at home and abroad. " 'Resolved. That the New York Board of Trade and Transportation earnestly requests Congress to repeal, at the com ing session, the compulsory silver pur chasing sections of the Sherman law. Resolved. 1 hat frequent changes of the financial policy and of the monetary system of the country when conceived and enacted for political purposes, be condemned as a sin against the nation. Resolved, 1 hat tbe president and sec retary of this board be and are hereby authorized to communicate with all commercial organizations in the United states for the purpose ot formulating, it possible, an expression ot the views of tbe business interests ot the country, and securing such united effort by said or ganizations as will induce Congress to take an early action in relation to o monetary system.' 1 hese resolutions arc scut to us with the request that our business men take some action upon this important ques tion and appoint at least two delegates to a convention ol commercial bodies in Washington, I). C, on or about Scptcni her 1 next. The request includes all res olutions whether for or against tbe repeal. 'We have taken the liberty of culling a meeting of the business men at the Ashe. ville Club rooms on Monday, July 24, at M.-.su o clock p. m lor the purpose ol con sidering this question. It you think this a matter worthy of consideration, will you signify it by at tending this meeting and taking part n its deliberations ?" To this call Mayor T. W. I'atton adds: As president of the Ashevillc club 1 in vite all to attend who may feel an inter est in this important matter." THESE TESTIMONIALS Harris' Lithiti Water, Harris' Lithia Springs, S. C.

The World prints replies it has received in response to its telegraphic requests sent to Gov ernors and United States Senators o every Stale south of the Mason and Dixon line and west of the Mississippi river for a statement of their views on three questions, viz : 1-irst. Whether or not they lavor tbe repeal of the Sncrman law ? Second. What measute should he sub stituted for the Sherman law if they do not favor its unconditional repeal ? Third. Whether or not the extra ses sion of Congress should enact tariff leg islation t Replies were not received to all the queries, because many ol the gentlemen were taking their vacations at places beyond telegraphic communication, but so far as they have been heard from, not a single southern or western governor or L nited States senator favors the bhct man law out-and-out. Some of the Southcrnors favor its unconditional repeal, and all are willing and many arc anxious it should be repealed condi tionally, but they do not agree as to what should le substituted for it. Nearly all tbe western and southern statesmen favor absolute free coinage of silver, several ol incm rcicr to tne "goia i ,n ,.,.), .i ui. conspiracy" and others condemn thelVt-ry jmrCUotHtJr "crimc of '73 when silver was demon etized." Even the Sherman law is said by some to have degraded silver and to have made necessary the rehabilitation of the white metal as money. Several of the replies from Republicans as well as from Democrats favor tariff legislation bv the special session, but most of them sav the tariff question has been dwarfed by the financial problem and ought to be le'ft alone until Congress meets in regular session. Senator Coke of Texas, how ever, thinks Congress could and should deal with both questions at once. $1.50: A Collar and Cuff box or Coat Ilander given away to to the ex tent of $1 or more. MITCHELL.
