HE DENIES THE CRY THAT HE Is 4
TOOL OF THE MONEY LENDERS.

He States That He Started Life on n
Farm and Did His First Work for
$40 n Month-Then He Dug bitches
for IA Living and Felt Very Proud
When He Was Promoted From
Brakeman 10 Baggage Master-Ah
Attack on Congress Denounced.
Chicago, July 1S-To-day's debate be-
tween Aiessrs. Harvey and Horr was
marked by considerable acrimony on the
part of both speakers. In beginning Mr.
Horr said he had a personal explanation
to make. He quoted the following para
graph from his opponents argument OF
yesterday: these principles are for the
selfish interests of money-lenders and
Mr.. Horr is here advocating them" Mr.
Horr said he took this as a reflection on
his character. He continued; Il am not
a mOney-lender. have no interest in any
bank or other institution of like cnaTac-
ter. l was raised on a farm and my
first work was done for $40 a month. /
used TO dig bitches for a living and was
at one time a brakeman on a railroad.
baggage master, it was the proudest mo-
ment of my life. 1 therefore come into
this debate, as my friend will find ont
before he gets through. TO advocate the
principles which viii be for the best in
terests of the working classes from which
I come. desire to say, however, that I
have no prejudice against any man who
ba@
not think a man is necessarily a scoun-
drel because he saves more than he spends.
1 even go as far as to say a man can be
a director Of a national bank and stll
maintain his integrity"
Mr.. Harvey explained that when he
said Mr.. Horr advocated the principles
Of money lenders, he did not mean to
say Mr. Horr, himself, was a money
lender; he thought, however in giving
the history of his life, Mr. HOrr should
not have omitted to state that he had at
one time been a bank president. This
question will not be settled by any man
parading himself as a horny-handed son
OF TOLL continued the free silver advo-
cate. But 1t lies deeper than that. Per
haps Mr.. Horr was at one time a laborng
man. but so were many persons who are
now selfish bank presidents"
Mr.. Harvey then plunged knee deep
into a discussion of the act of 1873 which
demonetized silver, but was shortly in
terrupted by the bell of the timekeeper.
Before following up his line of argu-
ment, Mr.. Horr INDUCED in little sar-
casm at his adversary's expense. with
considerable merriment, mir. Harvey has
told you" he said, that / said it made
my head ache sometimes TO study finan-
cial questions. 1t would not make any
mans head ache to write such superb
cial stuff as Is contained in this book"
Here Mr.. Horr fourished a copy of
Coins Financial School" After this
he took up the history OF the passage
of the act of 1873. He defied the cham
pion Of the white metal TO produce any
proof that England had any hand in the
aOS of 1873.
In reply to this Mr.. Harvey said Del
mar the English historian, had made il
a matter of record that the English bill
of 1916 demonetizing silver was for two
weeks in the hands of Mr. Knox, the
American controller of the treasury. This
statements was followed by a denun-
ciation of congress.
The attempt to smirch the congress
of the United States can DC characterized
by no other word than Infamous" shout
ed Mr. Horr, leaping to his feet. The
man who starts in to do this had better
never have started at all"
The discussion of the act of 1873 was
continued until l o'clock, when on the re-
quest of Mr.. Horr. the debate was ad-
journed to O'Clock Saturday next"
