They did not leave, however, until the

LIQUOR TO GIVE AWAY.
Supreme Court Settles the South Carolina
Dispenssry Law.

Supreme Court Settles the South Carolina
Dispensary Law.
A Columbia, S. c., dispatch says that
Gov. Tillman has decided not to fight
any further the decision of the Su.
preme Court declaring the South Car
Olina dispensary law unconstitutional,
and every dispensary in the State will
be closed. The State Board of Control
will meet and issue orders closing the
dispensaries. There are at least three
hundred dispensary employees in the
State and they were all paid off in an
tlcipation of the State going out of the
liquor business.
Attorney General Buchanan, who is
also member OF the Board of Con
troll, says that as there Is considerable
doubt among lawyers as to whether
the decision of the Supreme Court
really inaugurates prohibition or not,
the State authorities in the course OF
day or two will institute proceedings
by test case in order to get the court
to declare itself explicitly on the sub
ject. He is of the opinion himself that
the effect is to absolutely prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the
State. The State now has on hand
about S50,000 wo tn OF liquors which
cannot be disposed of except by act of
the Legislature. The general opinion
Is that an extra session will be called
in short time and some dis
position made of this immense
stock. In case IL is determined that
the State is really under prohibitory
law by reason OF the decision, 1T Is
quite likely that the Legislature will
pass some stringent law looking to its
enforcement. The Attorney General
intimated that in such case about 30O
constables will be appointed to see that
the law is enforced. The general opin-
ion OF the people is that the Governor
is glad to got rid of the dispensary law.

reasonable. because. while failure to pay
local taxes might plausibly be deemed
ground for debarring a man from the exer-
else OF municipal. parish. or county fran

representation In Parliament, with which
the rates have nothing to do. The poorest
man contributes to the imperial revenue
when he buys articles subject to customs
or excise duties. Plural voting is not, as
we have said. wholly suppressed, for rich
man may stil cast several votes In the
same constituency. provided he is the pos
SCISSOR Of several Parliamentary franchises
in that constituency. But under Mr..
MoRLEys bill, he will not be able TO vote In

that one man shall have but one vote. 1t

OF every vote shall be rendered equal.

FOR appealing TO the electors.
At present the registration lists are made
up but once year. and about three months

the prizes for an ounce Of silver rose cents.
In 1soO-et the quantity Of wheat from which
exports could be drawn decreased nearly as
much as It had increased the preceding
year, and the price advanced from 70 to "a
cents: and at this iuncture the price for an
ounce Of silver advanced Q cents In conse-
quence OF the passage Of the SHERMAN
act. So enormous was the quantity Of
wheat harvested In 1892. and again In
isp2-99, that an immense store was accumu-
lated. which is now slowly disappearing; and
since those harvests, the price has gone
down and down, as has the price Of silver.
Was 1t wheat that carried silver down. or
silver that carried down the price for wheat
Wheat has reached lower level per bushel
than silver per ounce. but then wheat has
brought less In the farm markets than the
current value Of an ounce Of silver from as
far back ss 1868. and the price promises to
be low until existing extraordinary accu-
mutations shall be absorbed. which may be
the case within year or eighteen months.
From all that we have been able TO sscer-
tain In relation to the course Of prices for
wheat. silver. and other products, as well
as labor, 1t appears that the price for
wheat has not only been dominated but
nearly always determined by our current
exporting power; that the ounce Of silver
has not been the value Of bushel Of wheat
in any single year since 1873; that wheat
has moved up and down In price &c much as
81 cents In Q single year. though the price Of
silver has been nearly or quito constant. or
moving in an opposite direction; that the
price Of no one thing which men have to sell
has moved In the same direction and. at the
the same time varied Is has the price for
silver; nor have the prices for all that men
sell declined.
We must confess to an entire inability to
discover the most remote relation be.
tween the price for an ounce Of silver and
the value Of o bushel Of wheat, or for that
matter Of any other product, though We
have earnestly sought to find such relation:

Nr. NILSSON says. In substance. that the

men have to sell. have been dominated by the
price Of silver: that for twenty-One years
tho price Tor an ounce OF silver has been tho
value OF q bushel Of wheat: that prices for
cotton. corn. horses. and land have been
determined by the price for silver: that the
troubles for the whole world have been
caused by underconsumption. and this by
the appreciation OF gold: that wheat has
deeliasd since silver was dsmonetizsd. and
that all existing commercial and industrial
Ills are due to the demonetization OF silver;
