and I am satisfied that if the holders were

"The political excitement attendant
unon the dissolution of parliament and
the new campaign for the elections were
interesting to am outsider. A point how
ever. which struck me very forcibly was
| that the change of the government made
no change in the daily business of the
departments. and though | was in the
treasury after the announcement OF the
new ministry taking Office. there was
no attendant line of office seekers, and the
heads of bureaus and divisions had no
anxiety as to prospective decaptitation.
In fact. I was told by a member of the
new government that the total patronage,
including, of course, the highest officers;
only amounted to about GO places, and
one of the hardest problems the Consery-
ative leaders had to deal with was a fair
division of these places among those con-
sidered entitled to them"

question i'm debate because he had several
times declared that ''if the mints of the
world" would give free and unlimited
coinage to silver ON q certain ratio, 1t
could be maintained.
Mr. Horr said that was not the question
to be considered at all, but whether, after
the entire civilized world had refused to
use silver as money of final redemption,
and still refuses to use it, can the United
States, singleIhanded and alone afford to
put itself upon a silver basis and join
Mexico, China and 'Tripoh on this sub
ject?
He then submitted the table Of the pro-
ductiOn of gold and silver since 1874,
taken from Mr.. Harvey's book, and added
to it the mint reports as to the production
of 1893 and 1894. This table showed, Mr.
Horr declared, that since 1874 the pro-
duction of silver had been steadily on the
increase and that gold has, since 1875,
been also ON the increase, but while sill
yer had increased in quantity three times
during that period, gold had only doubled
in quantity.
Mr. Harvey went back 10 fhe discussion
of primary money as o measure of values.
In 1867, he declared, all the money in
circulation was S1S.2S per capita, and In
1872 it WAS $500 per capita and IN these
times all money was PRIMARY money, the
measure of values being paper itself. In
| 1894 we had per capita circulation OF
IS24.23. He then said: NOW, you will
all say that the quantity of money in cir
culation has increased. You had more
money, primary and credit combined, in
| 1874, per capita, than you had in the two
years manned previous to 1873, and yet
prices were higher than now. Why?
| Because there was more money per capita
| in circulation in the first named year than
in the last named, 1894. OF the $24 per
capita in circulation in 1894 only about
Sc is primary money while in 1867 and
1872 there was SIS in primary money in
circulation per capita"
Mr.. Horr said Mr.. Harvey's definition
of money in circulation money was money
| of redemption. Greenbacks had ITO be re-
deemed to make them good and they couLl
not by any hook or crook be construed as
primary money.
Mr.. Horr said: "Now, in 1879, we did
return to specie payment we did make
our greenbacks and all our money as
GOOD as the rest and all the Harveys and
their whole crowd Of followers and adj
herents were going up and down this
country stating that if we undertook to en-

the Nation could better keep out of the
hands of the pawnbroker with two metals
than one.
Returning to his argument on bimetal-
lism, Mr.. Harvey said that the option of
the debtor to pay in the cheaper metal
Should not be impaired. This would al
ways maintain a parity. If the creditor
was given the option of the money in
which he should be paid, he would de-
mamd the dearer money, thereby increas-
ing the demand for that metal and de
creaSing the other; thereby narrowing in
stead of widening the disparity.
Continuing, Mr.. Harvey declared that
all nature was bimetallic. Nam had two
legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears. He
declared there were available for coinage
in the world about sixteen ounces of sill
yer to one ounce of gold.
Replying, Mr.. Horr took up the ques-
ton of farm tenancy, whose growth Mr..
Harvey, at an earlier stage of the de
bate. had adverted to as a bad sign in
our National life
Mr.. Horr declared it a good sign, and
quoted from statistics gathered by the
State of Minnesota, showing the steady
evolution of the tenant into land owner,
and from other statistics showing that
the increased number of tenants had been
accompanied by the decrease in the num-
ber of farm laborers. The increase in
tenancy had not been at the expense of
the farm owners, but at that of the day
laborerS.
Mr.. Harvey declined to discuss what
he called 1.-THE tenant business" but prom
ised that he would take it up when he got
to it. He then went ON to say that there
were two kinds of money in q general
sense in which the word is used, one be-
ing primary money and the other repre-
sentative money or as he would call it
for the purpose of debating, "credit mon
ey." This latter kind of money is divided
into paper money and token money, which
| includes copper cents and nickel five cent
pieces. No attempt is made to maintaiD
| the commercial parity of these two metals
at any ratio with the metal out of which
| primary money lis made. Token money
issued to pay for articles, the price OF
which is less than the value at which we
coin primary money. Primary money is
| the mea sure of value.
Gold, Mr.. Harvey said, is now our meas
ure of value, and our representative mon-
ey is tied to it as the tail of a kite is fas-
tened ito it. He then showed that supply
and demand regulate the value of money
the same as that of all other property.
Mr.. Horr announced that before pro-
ceeding ITO the question of the production
| of silver he wanted to say q few words
| ON the misleading nature of some OF Mr..
Harvey's statement ON finance.
He then attacked assertions made by Mr..
Harvey as to the assessed valuation OF
lbhe National banks. He then declared
THAT Mr.. Harvey was wandering brom the

of Mart.
For some months past bitter feeling has
existed between the friends of Abe Phil

growing out of the killing of Phillips by
Arnold and the latter's death Through

loud report like that of "a severe explosion
FLAMES were soon discovered enveloping
the house occupied by Mrs. Phillips, widow
of the murdered man, and upon arriving
at the scene the building was COM

sumed by fire. Dynamite had been
thrown into the house, which was oc-

JAPANESE RELIGION.

One Of the Nest Important Articles Of Its
Greed Csoosrns Useleanasss.
The reason why the idea of unclean-
ness was associated with the idea of
dangerousness was, in my opinion. be-
cause uncleannesa was thought to be
the enemy Of the gods, and the gods
can not be where any uncleanness ex-
lists. The gods are clean and pure, and
those who are not clean and pure can
not but forfeit the protection Of the
gods Those who are not protected by
the gods can easily be attacked and in
jured by the evil and uncleAn spirits,
and hence the idea Of danger came to
be associated with the idea Of unclean-
ness. This Il, perhaps, made palmer
by some concrete case.
