THE HORR.HARYEY DEBATE.

The above set-to now on IN CnlcaSo
is being closely watched by all classes
of people all over the United States.
At first we felt little nervous for
CGin in contest with one of the giants
of the gold standard, We. do not feel.
30 now, because in every instance
where bedrock principles have been so
far touched, Harvey has had the best
of the set-to. Evidently Mr.. HOrr, as
we'll as the people he represents, has
made a great mistake in supposing
that Harvey is a boy in finance as is
the little schoolm6ster in Coin Up
TO date he has had surely the adyant.
age of his opponent and we do not
doubt but he will retain it to the close
of the debate. 1t must be said, how
ever, that he has the best side Of the
controversy to begin with and the ac-
tive sympathy of the vast majority of
the people of the country. This ought
to give him confidence. He ought to
put up the best fight. He is making
it in the cause of the poor. He is
fighting for the money as we'll as the
living chance of the poor. To fail un-
der the circumstances would consti-
tute crime of the first magnitude.
The silver producing states of the
west watch this contest with ab-
sorbed interest. The people watch
the daily reports of it and snatch
the papers with eagerness, The
people are so far satisfied with their
champion, while the bankers in Eng
land and here, especially in New \ ork,
are growing nervous as to Horr's abil-
ity to wiring success from the hard con-
ditions surrounding him. Harvey is
very ready and seems to haYe his facts
as well as his theories well in hand,
and ready for use at any moment. Mr..
Horr does not like 1t because Coin
denominated John Sherman's act of
'73 demonetizing silver, crime, 1.-THE
crime of 49," In view of the ever ad-
vsncing power of mOnev in determin-
ing the policies of government and in
swaying the opinions of men, 1T becomes
crime to add to the power of money
as it also does to weaken the resist
ance of the people. This is a govern
ment of the people, bankers have
usurped the power and are now in con-
troll. This power must be wrested
from them at every hazard, and it can.
only be done by eliminating the ply=sssse-@
Gratis from the public service, by re-
storing the people to power and in
Wrestling the government from the
reckless hands of the spectators,
The vast fortunes made by the spec
ulators in the blood and the tears
of the late war and the favoritism prac-
ticed by the republican administrations
since its close, has produced class of
monied aristocrats, or rather pluto
Gratis, and these now give the law alike
- the people and the government.
They are true TO their class. Ali the
advantages of government are thrown
in the direction of the bankers and the
rich generally. These had no difficulty |
whatever IN successfully meeting the |
raid of congress on the millionaires il |
the income tax law. They just went
at the supreme court, and behold their
Shiras turned up at the exact moment
of time when be was needed to turn
the tide in favor of the rich. Thus it
is that money beats majority SO easily.
Since demonetization the rich have |
had all the chance, the poor none. Sill
yer is the money Of the poor while gold |
is the money of the rich and the |
powerful. Harvey is contending for |
the restoration of the money of the
poor; HOrr is battling in favor of gold,
the money of Rothschilds and the less
or bankers. OF course in such con-
test there can be no sort of doubt
where the eympathies of the masses
are placed, or where the righteous are.
The cause of the poor is the cause of
God 1t is no wonder that this con-
Jest has begotten vast interest here in
she vest where all are poor, because
Of demonetization, and where thou
sands OF pious men and women are
oyally praying for the success of our
champion.
