not the case, and the assembly deter
mined to admit Gadsden to his seat In
spite of Governor Boone's objection
This gave Boone a pretext for dis
solving the assembly, Shortly after
ward another assembly was chosen
and Christopher Gadsden was again
elected. This greatly irritated Boone
and the new assembly was not slow In
manifesting it's disapprobation of the
governors course with regard to the
previous assembly. A series of resolu-
tions were passed, the purport Of which
was that the assembly itself and not
the governor, is the judge Of the legal
ity of the election Of its own members;
that the course of the governor res
pecting Christopher Gadsden was a
violation Of the privileges Of the as
sembly of the province; that the pre-
vious conduct Of Governor Boone was
unconstitutional, and had direct ten
dency to subvert and destroy the most
essential and invaluable rights Of the
people of the province and reduce the
power and authority of the assembly to
an abject dependency on the whims
Of the governor. 1t was also resolved
by this assembly that since the gov
ernor had refused to apologize for his
recent conduct. that the assembly
would have nothing more to do with
him. This surely was a bold step and
was indicative of what followed.
The quarrel between Governor Boone
and the assembly of South Carolina
continued up to the time OF the pass
age of the notorious Stamp act by the
English parliament. The leading men
were thoroughly aroused to oppose
anything that had the semblance of an
enactment upon their liberties. The
leaders I'm the movement in opposition
to Governor Boone were Charles
Pinckney. Henry Laurens, Peter Mani
gault, Isaac MaZyck, John Rutledge,
James Moultric, Christopher Gadsden,
Thomas Lynch, William Roper. Will
liam Scott, f. Simmons r. Lowndes,
James Parsons, David Oliphant, Thom-
as Bee, Benjamin Smith and Thomas
Wright. The controversy between the
assembly and Governor Boone was
thoroughly discussed, both in public
and private, by these men, and the re-
suit was a hatred for oppression, and
an intense love of liberty was dissem-
mated throughout the whole of the
lower section of the province. When
I'm 1874 the British parliament passed
the stamp act, to take effect after the

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia

GAGE WANTSREFORM.
Former Secretary Of Treasury Also
Sees Visions Of Panic.
aE FAVORS SHAW'SPLABS, HOWEVER
Present Agitation Of Subject IL
Not Caused by Danger Of Imme-
diate Financial Disturbance
But for Fixture Protection.

New York, Jan. 6.--Lyman J. Gage
former secretary of the treasury, said
Friday that he agrees with Jacob H.
Schiff in the opinion that great
panic Is inevitable unless steps are
taken to remedy the inelasticity Of
the existing currency system.
II agree positively with Mr.. Schiff,"
said Mr.. Gage, that the monetary
conditions which have existed In this
country during the last 60 days are
disgraceful to us as a nation and |
further agree with him that stun
ming panic is but matter Of time
unless something is done. The more
promptly and effectually this Is done
the better for the United States. /.
"In my opinion there is no ,immedi-
ate danger but the danger itself is
apparent and If the country sits pas
sive under existing conditions the
country will suffer don't under
stand how any careful and thoughtful
financier can fail to realize the peril
II see that Mr.. Schiff objects
to Secretary Shaw's recommendation
of an emergency circulation Of heav-
lily taxed bank notes holding that
such plan would facilitate specula-
ton rather than legitimate interests
which stand in need at present |
may say that believe Secretary
Shaw's idea an excellent one-with
certain notifications. With these mod
ifcations believe his proposition
would provide a cure.
II don't care In the short space of
newspaper interview to go into de-
tails" continued Mr. Gage. My views
today are views which have enter
tanned a long while-views which are
embodied in reports made by me as
secretary of the treasury and In bills
already offered in congress. be-
lieve the work of securing proper
legislation to relieve the present cir
culation conditions Is high public
duty Of the presidents very high
public duty"
Frank vanderslip, vice president of
the National Bank said Friday he
believed Mr.. Schiff's speech had no
application to the immediate situation.
Had Mr.. Schiff thought" said Mr..
vanderslip, "that there was any pres
ent danger he would not have regarded
this as an appropriate time to call
public attention to that danger He
is undoubtedly right in saying that

TEN will cause trouble. 1t has caused
