Pm smcnolntlons Delegates -Will toe Appointed lo Attend a Meeting; In Washington. The meeting of the Commercial club, held in the rooms of the Ashcvillc Club yestcrduy evening, fur the purpose of takinir action concerning the repeal of the Sherman silver law, brought to gether 39 men. Among them were sonic of the most intelligent busi ness men of Ashevifle. The public gen erally was invited to participate in the meeting;, and the number present would doubtless liuvc been much larger but for the fact that the hoar for the meeting had been changed from 8:30 to 6 p. m. with but little nolirg., W. B. Gwyn was iriHtlc chairman, and J. P. Kerr secre tary. AlnJ. naloue'i Plan. Maj. W. II. Malone announced bis plan us follows: "Resolved, That the adoption of the single gold standard is detrimental to the best interests of the American peo ple." Major Malone accompanied his reso lution with strong remarks against the repeal ot the Sherman law unless a sat isfactory substitute is provided. Mr. Pearson's Plan. Richmond Pearson then read the fol lowing resolutions, which he thought sufficiently conservative for all to agree upon verse discretion of secretaries of the treasury, silver would today be at a 3 per cent, premium over gold, as it was in 1873. Capt. Atkinson declared that this effort to again cut down silver was the work of the gold bugs, and that if they suc ceeded one nail ot the money ol the peo ple would be cut down, and the miseries which would follow would be too dis tressing to contemplate. And if silver was again cut down it would never be restored. Hon. H. A. Guducr said that it ap peared to him somewhat strange that only one phase of the hard times should be thus discussed and passed upon, and that too by a very small crowd, although he would say it was intelligent. He said only a few months ago from every stump in the land it might have been heard that the hard times were attributable to the tariff. Now everything else was forgot ten, and it was claimed that to strike down the only law on the statute books wnicn recognizea one nan oi tne circulat ing medium as money was-the only rem edy for all these ills. He thought that if a public meeting undertook to pass upon this question it should be a much larger one than that present, and he gave no tice that he would introduce aresolutinn later calling for an adjournment to the court house, where all the people could be present and express themselves.

QKADUATEU PKCQOISTS, CHURCH STREET ANB PATTON AVENUE. "Resolved. That wc favor the imme diate repeal of the silver purchase clause of the so-called Sherman net. "Resolved, That in any future coin age of silver the ratio between gold and silver should be readjusted to conform to the actual market value of the two metals, so that a dollar of either shall be worth intrinsically a dollar ol the other." tuts est. Atkinson's Plan. "When Mr. Pearson's resolutions (tad been gotten well before the mind of the audience, Capt. Natt. Atkinson's idea was given as follows: "Resolved, That it is the senscol this meeting that Congressshould repeal that section or provision of the Slicnnan act requiring the purchase of four and a hall millions of silver bullion per month, and coexistent with said repealing act laws should be passed : "1. Requiring the coinage of at least four and a half million dollars of silver ner month from American mines. "2. Repealing the tax on tftnle bank currency. "3. Allowing the national banks to issue currency to the par value of their bonds free from any expense for redemption. "4. That the secretary of the treasu-y should be required to par all demauds against the government when coin is de manded, one half gold and one half sil ver (except where the government has agreed to pay in gold), in order that the parity or the two metals snould uc pre served." Mr. Ctaecestern Resolution. About t he time the few advocates of this scheme had concluded that it. cov ered their wants, N. P. Chcdcstcr's plan, broadening in its scope, was read by its author as follows: "Resolved, That the ensuing Congress of the United States proceed at once to carry out the four leading planks of the Chicago platform. "1. By repealing the Sherman act and substituting the free and unlimited coinage of silver. "2. By repealing the the 10 per cent, tax on State banks. "3. By reducing the tariff to a revenue basis. "4. By enacting a graduated income tax. The Mayor's Plan. By the time the Republicans present had determined "where they were at," Mayor I'atton's plan was read by him, as found in a set of resolutions presented to the Raleigh chamber of commerce at a meeting held on July 13, and was as fallows . "1. Repeal the Sherman law. "2. Remove all tax upon circulation. National or State, except as hereinafter provided, and abolish the 5 per cent, re demption fund. "3. Issue $ 1 ,000,000,000 of 2 per cent. 40-year gold bonds, $560,000,000 of which use to retire theontstanding fours. Sell the remaining $440,000,000 for gold the proceeds to be held by the United States government as redemption or guarantee luad for all its note issues. This inspires confidence in the stability of the currency, fixes a gold standard, and insures the purpose and ability of the United States to maintain it. "4-. Make the 2 ucr cent, bonds a basis for circulation, require the entire capital of every bank to be Invested in them, nnd require circulation to be issued to their full par value. This will provide for an increase in the volume of currency of not less than $500,000,000. "5. To provide for emergencies, and for further elasticity, permit National banks to issue additional circulation to the amount of their surplus, secured by a deposit of State bonds 10 per cent in excess of the amount of such circulation, or of U. S. bonds at their par value. Tax this additional circulation, not ex ceeding 2 per cent per annum, so as to prevent the volume of currency from oeing lnjuuiciously increased, and to in sure its withdrawal when not abso lutely needed. "6. Retire all United States or Na tional bank notes of smaller denomina tion than $10 and issue silver certifi cate in denominations of ones, twos and fives and none larger. making: these certificates, and the dollars which tbey represent, legal tender to the extent of $100. and subsidiary silver coin legal tender to the extent of ten dol lars." Tata DlacMSslaa. And now the sneaking began, upon the resolutions offered by Mr. Pearsoa, with Capt. Atkinson's resolutions as a substitute. Major Malone, Capt. Atkinson and Gndger made strong speeches of the substitute, while Mr. nd Cant. M. B. Carter stronc- ly advocated the adoption of the original resolutions. Major Malone gave a history of the legislation inimical to silver, which began by demonetization in 1873, and declared that bat for that legislation, and the ad- Hon. Richmond Pearson said all per sons present desired to accomplish the same end, secure more money, and he hoped nothing would be said to arouse feeling, but that all would be cool and deliberate. He was not in favor of coin tng any more silver unless there was a dollar's worth of metal in the dollar. He wanted the government to quit telling lies by putting 54 cents worth of silver together and scamping on it "one dol lar." Capt. M. 1. Carter was opposed to coining another dollar of silver, or buy ing another ounce at the present ruin ous rate. He thought as much silver had been coined now as the country could assimilate. He was in favor of putting gold in the treasury and for every one hundred millions so collected issue three hundred millions of treasury notes. He thought national banks ought to be allowed to issue up to the full value of their capital, and also on their surplus. He thought a repeal of the purchasing clause only of the Sher man law was enough. The remainder of the law might stand, nnd he thought that would induce the keeping of the sil ver already out, standing at par with gold. The great cause of hard times, Capt. Carter thought, was due to the withdrawal by Europeans of the money they had loaned in this country for fear that thev ruifiht be paid in debased money. Mew Resolutions Adopted. After the speaking was all over, a new set of resolutions wap offered by Geo. S, Powell nnd passed, with but two three dissenting votes, as follows: " Resolved, That the present lack ol confidence in financial and mercantile circles is due in part to the inflation of credits mid to our present monetary system. "Resolved, That the experiment of compelling the government to purchase 4,000,000 ounces ol silver monthly has had a fair trial, nnd has proven to be a detriment to all commercial interests and has created distrust at home and abroad. "Resolved, That the Commercial Club earnestly requests Congress to repeal, at the coming session, the compulsory sil ver purchasing sections of the Sherman taw. "Resolved, That in any further coinage of silver the ratio between gold and sil ver should be readjusted so as to con form to the actual market value of the two metals, so that a dollar of either shall be worth intrinsically a dollar of the other." Hon. II. A. Guilder's motion to ad journ to a mass meeting in the court house, and that a committee be ap pointed to prepare resolutions for dis enssion at said meeting, was voted down. The chair was instructed to appoint two delegates to attend a meeting of commercial bodies to be held in Wash ington, D. C, soon after the assembling of Congress. Tne Notice Given. Hon. II. A. Gudger in his remarks favoring an adjournment of the mectThg to Saturday in the court house, stated that sufficient notice had not been given. The Citizen is requested to say that a call for the mcctinir at 6 o'clock yester day was circulated, and 51 signatures of business men and firms were secured, each one a&rrecing to attend the meeting if possible. Besides the notice of change given in The Citizen Jos.
