NEARING THE END.
Horr and Harvey Have Their Last But One De- bate on the All Absorbing Money
 Question.

Chicago, July 27 7-(Copyrighted by Mir Azel Hatch. )-There was an attendance of less than 100 listeners today when MT Horr inaugurated the next to the last session of the silver debate. Mir. Horr opened by quoting a report of the finance committee of the United States senate for the purpose of showing that gold had not appreciated since 1873, and chal- lenged his opponents sincerity in basing his arguments in this matter upon Suer- beck tables, which are compiled by an IEnglishnan and based upon English values.
 In his reply to these charges MT. liar yey produced an article written by MT. Horr in answer to correspondent which had appeared in the New York Tribune, in which Mir Horr scoffed at the idea which he had frequently advanced in the present debate that human labor formed a trustworthy standard of value. Mir. Horr's reply to the correspondence as quoted by MT. Harvey, concluded with the words: Your system seems so ab- surb that I can hardly treat 1t soberly.
 Mir Harvey said he was accused by his opponent of finding fault with men and conditions for the reasons, as he charged, that the silver people delighted to do so. MT. Hoir had entrusted against that the better disposition In man
 
 pleasant MT. Horr's inappropriate lan- guage consisted of words that might be addressed to slaves but not to free men. MT. Harvey, in defending his use of the Sauerbeck table to show the decline in prices of staple articles since lSoo, at tackled the Aldrich table, which, he said, was made partly 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 church paper that the proper way to deal with sS1 ei ,s, i,ian was to hit hir,-oyer the head Wltn clup. Ysetnat report showed decline III prl-es of 30 per cent below 1872 ana per cent below the price of 1860.
 Mir. Horr accused his opponent or De- ing tricky in quoting one sentence rom the article which he had written TOT the New York Tribune and assuming mat It showed the gist of the whole articie. What he said in reference to the man theories being ridiculous did not relate 10 his measure of value at all. It was ms attempt to substitute a paper dollar based on nothing with which to do the business of the country. Mr. Horr added .Where Harvey will land yet. The dis ease he has never dies out. What ne wants and what these people are atter is to destroy all property and put this | nation on socialistie and anarchiStic l bases" (Cries of "No.D
 MT. Horr-Thats right. l knew you would understand that
 Mir Harvey-There is not one scintilla | in this debate that authorizes you to say | that.
 MT. Horr-I say there is one scin- | til1a in it, and I say that up to date you | nave gotten applause from this applause, | your part of it only, when your argu- | ments tended to show that you think the whole society of this country ought to be | destroyed" (Cries of "Noo.
 MT. Horr-" I know what I am talking | about Now, as to banks, why is it that i Mr. Harvey feels called upon to enter | into a trade against banks and to in- | lulge in such a torrent of abuse against l bankers? I can hardly conceive of a | greater more wicked misrepresentation | lf facts than have crept into the talk hd l 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 a table of failures in the United States during the last thirty-eight years and declared that the credit system or money would account for every dollar of those failures.
