UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10, 1896.
Mr.. John H. Pearson, Morganton,
N. c.:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 10th
instant is received.
In answer thereto will say, that
the States prior to the formation of
the Constitution possessed full, SOW
ereign power to coin money, regu-
late the value thereof, and of foreign
coins, and to make any kind of
money legal tender in payment of
all debts, public and private. What
ever sovereign power in relation to
money which was not surrendered to
the general government remained in
the States.
"The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution OF
prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively
or to the people," Constitution
10th amendment.)
The States delegated to the gen
eral government all that the follow
ing language necessarily implies
and nothing more:
"To coin money, regulate the val
ue thereof, and of foreign coins.
mo State shall coin money, emf
bills Of credit, make anything bu
gold and silver coin a legal tende
in payment of debts"
The power Of the States to make
gold and silver coin a legal tender
in payment of all debts, public ant
private, is thus reserved to tn
States. There can be no question
that the States can make any Unite'
States coin legal tender, and ca

II will Be observed thas The States
sxrrsndered To the general govern
ment the power TO regulate the value
Of foreign coins. and although the
States have . rigbtfo make foreign
coins legal tender. they mus, do 20
in subordination to the power OF the
United States 70 determine the value
Of such foreign coins. II therefore,
tho United States has regulated the
vslue OF Nsxican coin or Any other
foreign coin, there can be no doubt
OF the power Of the States to make
such foreign coin . legal tender for
all debts, public and private.
By the last tariff act, commonly
known ~ the Wilson bill, il is en-
acted
THAT the value Of foreign coin as
expy 1ssed in the money account Of
tbs Cnited States shall be that OF the
puie metal Of such coin Of standard
value.r
Section 35l4 of the Revised Stat
utes declares that
"The standard for both gold and
silver coins Of the United States
shall be such that Of one thousan
parts by weight, nine hundred shall
be OF pure metal and one hundred of
alloy"
The standard silver dollar of the
United States contains 37ki grains
of pure metal of standard value.
The Mexican dollar contains 377.170
grains OF pure netal. The States,
therefore, have the power to make
the Mexican dollar a legal tender for
q dollar in payment of all debts.
public and private. The United
States having fixed the value of for
eign coins according to the pure
metal of standard value, aud the
States having the right to make gold
and silver coin a legal tender, all
doubt as to the power of the States
to make Mexican coins a full legal
tender is removed.
The States can also prevent any
discrimination in contracts between
the coins which they have a power
to make legal tender. Private par
ties cannot defeat the exercise of the
power of the States to make gold
and silver coin q legal tender by
contracting for payment in a partic-
ular kind Of coin. Any coin which
is legal tender will satisfy any
contract for the payment of money
if the State law so declares.
Yours very truly.

Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart, United States
Senate:
Mr. DEAR Sir: In view OF your
long and faithful service in the Uni
ted States Senate in behalf OF the
people, and recognizing you IS one
of the most eminent authorities in
this country on all questions relAt-
ing to finance, l desire to call your
attention to two bills that have been
recently introduced in the Senate by
Senator Butler, from North Caro-
lima, and ask your opinion with ref
erence to the same. One Of these
bills proposes to prohibit any further
gold notes or gold mortgages being
taken in the United States, and to
make it unlawful, after the passage
of the bill, for any further notes or
mortgages, calling for payment in
gold alone, taken hereafter. to be
collected except in lawful money;
the other bill provides for making
the Mexican dollar. the Japanese
dollar, and the trade dollar, all Of
which contain more pure silver than
our present standard dollar. a full
legal tender in the United States. /
suppose it is not questioned that
Congress has the power to pass both
Of these bills, and certainly, in my
opinion, Congress should promptly
pass both; but l noticed that Sena-
tor Butler, in his speeches support
ing both of these bills, stated that if
Congress refused to enact these
measures into law, the States clearly
had the Constitutional right to pass
them in their respective legislatures
and make them apply to their re
spective States. Now, what I want
to ask you is, whether or not, in
your opinion, the States have this
power. If the States have this pow
er, why have not some of the States
exercised it before nowi If the
States have this power I certainly
want to see the North Carolina leg
islature taken action on these bills
when it meets next winter and
promptly enact them into law in
North Carolina. Your opinion and
advice on these matters will be high
ly appreciated. have been voting

A Peaceful Settlement In Sight.

1t is a fact of great interest and import
ance that at the opening of the British Par
Lament on Tuesday all the expressions on
the Venezuelan question were such as to
indicate peaceful solution of the whole
difficulty. The paragraph in the Queens
speech alluding to this subject was as fol-
lows:
"The government of the United States
of America have expressed a wish to CO.
operate in the termination of the differ
ences which have existed for many years
between my government and the republic
of Venezuela upon the question of the
boundary between that country and the
colony of British Guiana. Ihave expressed
my sympathy with the desire to come to an
equitable agreement, and trust that fur
ther negotiations will lead to satisfactory
settlement"
This is vague and indefinite, as all ex-
pressions from the throne are expected to
be, but its significance was made unmis-
taxable by the explicit statement made by
Lord Salisbury to the House of Lords, that
direct negotiations with Venezuela would
soon be resumed and the grea. obstacle to
the settlement of the question be removed
thereby.
Arthur j. Balfour, in the House of Com
mons, also took pains to deny that there
had been the slightest intention to violate
the substance of the Monroe doctrine, and
reaffirmed his hope that some permanent
system of arbitrating disputes with Ameri.
ca would be devised. All references made
in either House to the Venezuela affair
were very conciIiatorV in tone
Opinion in the lobbies was general that
the Venezuelan question had been virtual
ly settled, all that remained being matter
of detail. The United States government,
by bringing moral pressure to bear upon
the Caracas government, has opened a way
for resumption of diplomatic intercourse
between Venezuela and England, and also
has stipulated for an expression of regret
for the Yuruan incident (the arrest of Eng
lish policemen on the disputed territory.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The report of the special commission APP
pointed to inspect and report upon the route
of the NiCaraguan canal has been sent to
Congress by the President. The commits
sion estimates the cost of building the can
al on the low level line at S133, 472, ,S03, a
sum which is about twice as large as the
company's estimate for the same work.
The commission think the expense of con.
structing the canal will be about twice the
amount that would be required to build a
similar waterway in the United States, ow-
ing to the adverse climatic conditions, the
ineffective manual labor, and to the fur
ther fact that the machinery cannot be used
again after the canal has been finished.
The most serious problems affecting the
construction of the canal are those involved
in the heavy rainfall and consequent dis
charges from the lake and streams. For
instance, the rainfall record at Greytown
on the Nicaragua coast for a period of
three years shows a mean 267 inches, while
a record at Rivas, on the west side, for IA
years gives a mean of only 81 inches. A
record of nearly 25 feet Of water in year
on the Caribbean coast diminished to 81
feet between the lake and the Pacific illus
trates of itself the conditions that must be
taken into account with reference to mat
teIs of local drainage and engineering con-
struction.

Town Libraries.

The state board of library commissioners,
appointed under the law of 1894, have is
sued circular in which they say that the
first year of the operation Of the law to pro-
mote the establishment of free public IL
braries has been eminently successful. Over
40 towns voted at the March meetings in
1895 to accept the provisions of the law
In these towns, with the state appropria-
tions as a nucleus, aided in most cases by
gifts Of books, and in not few instances
by liberal gifts of money, creditable libra
ries have been established, and their future
growth is well assured. The commission
ers urge that in towns which do not now
possess public library articles to enable
such towns to take advantage of the new
law be placed in the warnings for the com
ing March meetings. With library once
begun in any town it is almost sure TO re-
ceive generous aid from individuals and in
other ways, while the interest and enthu-
siasm of the townspeople are stimulated to
extend its size and influence by many
means not at first thought of.
