Prove 1t.

CHICAGO. ILL, July 20.-After days
rest for the participants the HorrHarvey
debate was resumed at o'clock this after
noon. While paying his respects to his
opponent of the days debate, MIR. Horr
said:
''Sirce the opening of this discussion he
has done little but read essays prepared
and written out, filed up with a lot of in
correct and. as 1 think, untrue verbiage.
1t is impossible for me to remember and call
attention to all his carefully written and
misleading statements. / deny the bulk of
the stuff that you have heretofore printed
or that you have prepared and are reading
from day to day."
Resuming the discussion of the law of
1873, the New York champion quoted from
w. A. Shaw's "History of Currency" in
reference to the first international none
tary conference, held in Paris In 1867, to
show that the subject was being agitated
by the civilized nations of the world All
the nations except Holland declared in
favor of the gold standard after eight
daily sessions. 1t was after this action, in
which the United States participated, that
the American experts commenced to
examine the question and see what legis-
lation should be enacted. The bill of 1878
simply carried out resolution of those
civilized nations of the world.
The silver men from the start had at
tempted to smirch that bill by claiming
that the officials and members of Con-
gress were all false to their duties. There
was not word of truth in the yarn told
by the silver people and published in
thousand papers all over the United States
that man named Ernest Seyd had visited
the United States and brought with him
$500, 900 in gold. and that he paid that gold
to secure the passage of that bill. The al
| legation had been disproved by the letter
| which was recently found among the pa
pers of the late Congressman Hooper,
written by Seyd in reply to Mr.. Hooper,
who had sent him the identical bill and
asked his opinion upon it. The letter
showed that ne opposed the measure
which his traducers said he had spent so
much money to get passed.
1.-The report" said Harvey, "of the none
tary conference at Paris in 1867, will con-
tradict the history that Mr.. Horr has read
from. AS to Ernest Seyd and a letter
found among Mr.. Hooper's effects since he
and Seyd died, it reminds me of this.
Suppose, in the years to come. some one
would say that John G.. Carlisle was BIZ
metall1st and in proof of it read from Mr..
Carlisle's speech The demonstration of
silver is the greatest crime of the age and
its consequences for evil are greater than
all the floods and fires and pestilence of
the past Would that prove that Mr.. Car
Isle was bimetallist at particular time
when something might be charged against
him when he acted as Secretary of the
Treasury under Mr.. Cleveland? If that
Seyd letter, disentombed by the jealous
friends and family of Mr.. Hooper, was to
prove anything it would prove Mr.. Hooper
falsified when he said that he had SUBJ
mitted that bill to distinguished experts
and they had all agreed it was the proper
thing to do.''
He continued reading from the Con-
gressional Record to show that Mr.Hooper
had worked for the passage of the substi-
tute bill within the hour of its presenta-
tion without having been read and without
the majority of the members knowing that
fundamental question was involved in
the bill. Mr.. Hooper reiterated in answer
to questions put by members that the bill
made no change in the coinage or currency
laws.
In reviewing the history of the bill in
the Senate, where it was called up by Mr..
Sherman, he said: sit is evident it was
the intention of Senator Sherman to con-
vince the Senate that careful consideration
of the bill was necessary, and in this he
succeeded, as appears from something that
Senator Casserly said during the discus
sion provoked by him about abrasion. 1t
is this: Il will not contest it with him
(Sherman), because it is evident very few
Senators are paying attention to this sub
ject.'"
