"Regulation does not regulate"
The prohibitionists will be likely
to vote for the the bill
when understood, not be-
cause he favors, Licenses from
either city or State, but because it
promises at least better state, of
affairs, and a gradual preparation
for prohibition. Some of the liquor
men in our cities are better men
than are generally supposed, but
the rank and file of the so-called
s'liquor element'' is what Cicero
called "bilge water" in the
in the ship of State. Now, one Of
the best results of this bill, if it
proves to be practical, is that it
strikes a centre shot upon this
irresponsible and conglomerate
element. 1t loosens the bands that
bind them together and it removes
out of their reach the profits which
make.them ever watchful in their
efforts to protect the business and
defeat the better element in the
community. It willleaye, too like
a ship on the strand, those politi-
clans who have been subservient
tools in their powerful hands. We
have not yet seen the bill as a
whole, but the nature of the op-
position, and the quarters from
whence it comes, bespeaks for it
at least a not unfavcrable con-
sideration.

The Evans Dispensary bill is
stirring the stagnant waters.
Opposition to it in liquor circles
is deep and pronounced. Charleston
and Spartanburg have defed the
bill by issuing licenses for another
twelve months. The opposition
will take two courses to defeat
the bill. They will test it's consti-
tutionality, and pHobably enjoin
the State for some time from
enforcing its provisions. In the Sec
ond place.. the friends Of the
liquor cause will, it seems,
unite to prevent the requisite
majority from signing the
papers necessary for establishing

&c. No one ever saw dollar in this
country that was not 100 cent dollar:
no one ever will see until the unit of ac-
count is changed. Nothing more or

of the law. There is a paper dollar. a
which is a legal tender in ordinary bust

nation. they each stand upon the same
footing. But outside of the national
imprint. when the substance upon
which the impression is' made is consid-
cred very different question i, pre-
sentcd. The paper upon which the
authority of the government is stamped
is of little value. The silver and gold
upon which the same sovereignty is
impressed may be valued at various a.
mounts per ounce. but the debt-killing
dollar remains the same. While it is
true that the law continues the barba-
ric relic of forcing payment in certain
quantities of gold II silver in certain in
stances. yet it is also fact that The.
stamp Of authority of government must
be impressed upon each and every unit

commodity that makes the dollar but
the ensign OF national authority. This
being true there is no 30 cent dollar"
in this country. and never can be under

Bankers who Think with their Lungs

During a debate in the United States
Senate d few days ago. Senator Teller
was Interrupted by Senator Gray Of
Delaware. who asked why it wa, tha,
an American dollar which contains less
silver. is worth more in Old Mexico
than the Mexican dollar,
The object of the question seemed to
be to show that the real reason was be-
cause a silver dollar could be cXchang-
cd in this country for gold coin. And
so far as that view Of the question goes.
Senator Teller answered him sati>fac-
torily. But he might have gone much
further. There Is no provision of law
that authorizes gold to be exchanged
for silver or vice versa. Gold. silver
and paper are legal tender. all posses
ing equal purchasing power. made 50 by
law. The Mexican silver dollar pos
sesses simply its bullion value
The flood of silver which the agent
of Rothchilds talk SO much about would
thrown open to free coinage of silver
bat it would prove Il blessing instead of
Il calamity. There. would not likely be
any more t.cXican dollars coined and no
e., cent dollars could be found anyw here.
Old Mexico and South and Central A.
mericanS would send their silver to the

Mexican dollar. instead of being worth
to cents. would he worth 100 cents.
