QUESTION OF coNsTITUTIoNALITY
Of the South Carolina Registration Flaw Now Being Argued.


 Columbia, S. C., May S.-The hearing in the South Carolina registration law injunction cases, involving the consti- tutionality of the registration laws, is slowly progressing. This morning when court met at II o'clock MT. c. A. Douglass for the complainants began a powerful argument, completely riddling the laws and citing endless points of unconstitu- tionality. He also argued at great length upon the question of jurisdiction of the court.
 There are to be four more arguments, Gen. Edward McCrady, the framer of the 1882 law, closing the case on behalf of the state. The hearing will hardly be con cluded before tomorrow or Monday. While public interest in this case is at fever heat, it does not compare with that manifested in the hearing of the dispen- sary injunction case yet to be called. It is thought that Judge Golf will have number of constables before him for con stempt upon the calling of the case before the hearing is proceeded with

can examine the residue. The matter has come down to this: Shall the United
 States adopt the policy of free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l. independent of any and all other countries?" Those who support the af- firmative of this proposition are known as silver monometallists. They discard this designation, claiming to be bimet- allists. They cannot prove their title to this claim-they are not bimetallists.
 True bimetallism means that given ar
 ticle in a given market at a given time will have the same price whether ap-
 praised in one metal or the other. The
 policy advocated by these so-called bi-
 metallists would destroy that equality of
 price. We would have two prices-one
 of gold and one of silver This is now the
 case in the ports of India and China. An article brings one price in gold and an other in silver. Our silver monometal- lists would put the United States on the same basis with India and China, and
 have us adopt a double standard.
 During the first three-fourths of the
 present century the world added to its stock of gold and silver greater amount than ever before in the same period of
 time. The increase in gold was S3.453,
 423O0O; in silver, s1, ,474,6 700. The stock of gold increased $1, ,97S, ST, 300 more than
 the stock of silver. Yet the parity of
 the two metals was preserved all this time. Every year the two metals were brought to the mint of France, where the relation of 151a to 1 was observed un- changed. But after this long compan- | ionship on equal terms the two metals | parted company. Silver has Appreciated | together with almost everything else. If | Jefferson was President today he would | not undertake to keep the two metals on | a parity by pursuing the same course he | did while President. During the days Of | Jefferson the leading nations of the world received silver at their hints, while now | they reject it. Jefferson believed in sound money as one of the fundamental l doctrines of Democracy. He believed | that the American dollar should repre- sent the honor faith and integrity of the nation in every country of the world, | just as the American flag represents the national honor. Is there a follower of Jefferson bold enough to say that Jeff ferson would if President today admit | the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to I?

 The Democratic tariff law went into full operation January l. 1885, The re- turns for the first quarter of this year are in and are very gratifying. Before 1896 there will be a surplus. The exports of manufactured goods exceed those of the first quarter of 1892, when the Mckinley .>w was in effect. This shows that the law has stimulated manufactures.

him preach in the First Baptist church.
1t shows that time had not lessened the
high regard in which he is held by his
old congregation. They have taken a
deep interest in his growing usefulness
and influence, and have watched his
promotion with friendly pride. He
made a pleasant alluslon last night to
his ministry here and the pleasure it
gave him to be with his old friends
again, He preached an excellent ser
mon from second Corinthians, twelfth
chapter and ninth verse. 1t was real

incidents, happy illustrations, and
forcible exposition. 1t showed grasp,
thought, yigor Mr.. Whites old hearers
were gratified to see that, while his ser
mon gave evidence Of greater growth
and power than seven years ago, ne had
lost nothing of that simplicity, directness
and sweet presentation of gospel truth
that characterized his earliest ministry
At the conclusion of the sermon an in
formal reception was held and all the
congregation crowded around Mr.. White
to shake hands and renew their old &C

Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name CDR. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes Dur
ing all these long years Of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle Of right and
justice as to undertake to despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country. sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
"just as good as Or. Wards" frequently leading
CUSTOMERS into thinking they had the genuine
article. therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
