HORR's TILT WITH HARVEY.
The Debate Between the Two Grows
LIveIier as IL Nears Its End.

Copyright, 1856. by Azel +. Hatch.
Chicago. July 27.-There was an at-
tendance Of less than 100 listeners to-day
when Mr.. Horr inaugurated the next to
tho last session OF the silver debate. Mr..
Horr opened by quoting a report Of the
finance committee OF the United States
Senate for the purpose OF showing that
gold had not disappeared since 1873 and
challenged his opponents sincerity in bas-
ing his arguments in this matter upon
suerbeck's tables, which are compiled by
an Epglishman and based upon English
values.
In his reply to these charges Mr.. Harvey
produced an article written by Mr.. HOrr
in answer 10 correspondent which had
appeared I'm the New York Tribune, in
which Mr.. HOrr scoffed at the idea which
he has frequently advanced in the pres
ent debate tnat labor formed "A trust
worthy standard Of value. Mr.. Horrs re-
ply to the correspondent. as quoted by
Mr.. Harvey, concluded with the words:
Your system seems so absurd that /
can hardly treat It soberly."
Mr.. Harvey said he was accused by his
opponent OF finding fault with men and
conditions for the reason. as he charged,
that the silver people delighted 10 do so.
Mr.. Horr had cOntrasted against this the
better disposition In man which loved to
look on things that We're pleasant
Mr.. HOrr's inappropriate language con-
sisted Of words that might be addressed
to slaves. but not to free men. Mr.. Har-
vey, in defending his use of the Sauerbeck
table to show the decline in the prices Of
staple articles since 1885 attacked the Aid
rich table, which, he said, was made part
ly by the help OF Edward Atkinson, whose
bias could be judged by the fact that he
had recently said, over his own signature
to a Chicago paper. that the proper way
to deal with a silver man was to hit him
over the head with a club. Yet that re-
port showed a decline in prices OF 30 per
cent below 1872 and per cent. below the
price of 1860.
Mr.. Horr accused his opponent of being
tricky in quoting one sentence from the
article which he had written for the New
York Tribune. and said It showed the gist
of the whole article. What he said in
reference to the mans theories being
ridiculous did not relate to his measure
Of value at all. IL was his attempt to
substitute dollar based on nothing on
which to do the business on. Mr.. Horr
added THAT is where Mr.. Harvey will
land yet. The disease that he has never
dies out. What he wants and what these
people are after is to destroy all property
and TO put this nation on a socialistic
and anarchistic basis" (Cres OF "Oh.O
Mr. Horr-That is right, l knew you
would understand.
Mr.. Harvey-There is not one seintilla
in this debate that authorizes you to
say that
Mr.. Horr--I say there is one sclntilla in
At, and / say that up TO date you have got
applause from this audience your part of
1t only, when your arguments tended to
show that you think the whole society OF
this country ought to be destroyed. (Cries
Of MOI
Mr.. Horr-I know what / am talking
about. Now, as 10 banks, why Is it that
Mr.. Harvey feels called upon to enter into
a trade against banks, and to indulge In
such a torrent Of abuse against
bankers, 1 hardly conceive Of a
greater, more wicked misrepresentation
Of facts than have crept into the talk he
has given us up to the present moment
No nation has been as prosperous as the
United States since 1873.
Mr.. Harvey presented his opponent with
table Of failures In the United States dur
ing the last thirty-eight years and de-
clared that the credit system OF money
would account for every dollar in those
failures.
