! aluminium is without limit in the crust of
the earth almost. Scientific men tell us
that 1t composes perhaps One-tenth of the
entire crust Of the earth. Every clay bed is
shale rock is loaded down with it, and the
trouble has been to reduce it into the form
OF metal, so that it could be utilized by
the human race. 1t used to cost so much
that 1t was worth a good deal more than
silver.
DR.. Robinson-"More than gold.''
Mr.. Horr-"Yes, more than gold. Now,
we have been cheapening the production Of
aluminium by discovering the means of
form-pure metal. Every Invention that we
have made has cheapened the production

there are men in this house who will yet
live to see aluminium so cheap that it will
be used in casing our houses and will take
the place of lumber when it shall disappear
from use In house building.
Mr.. Harvey-'I hope in the course of the
next debate, to get through with the logical
presentation of this question and then have
it out with Mr.. Horr right here on all the
going to refer briefly to what he has said
now.
"He speaks of improved facilities and i'm
ing prices. Now, when we meet on that I
know exactly how reasonable man is go
ing to decide it, but just give you this to
think about in the meantime so you won't
be following Mr.. Horr off in his sidetracks.
Between 1850 and 1873 we had a: great era
were all invented and in use before 1879,
even the binder and yet prices were rising.
Improved facilities increased constantly.
and at the same time prices were rising.
When we get to it we will all understand
1.-THE people of the United States are be-
ing deceived, most woefully deceived, on
this money question, and the owners Of
money, gold and money payable in gold,
are running corner on you by which they
are becoming the owners of you. CAP

monetary policy. (Applause) And before
I get through with Mr.. Horr none of these
reasoning of his will be in our way.
Mr.. Hort am very much surprised to
hear my friend say that we We're getting
along well during the years of suspension
of specie payment, when we used entirely
money that on it's face had to be redeemed
of redemption. Every greenback has to be
redeemed to make it good 1t is not pr-
mary money, nor can we .construe it into
primary money by any hook or crook. Now
in 1879 we did return to specie payment we
did make our greenbacks and all our money
as good as the best. and Brother Harvey

speech he makes by announcing what Won
ders he is going to do before this debate
closes. He is going to drive me into the
house: he proposes to bury me out Of sight:
he is such a fearful fellow that he is going
to sweep like a cyclone over this whole
country with that terrible intellect of his.

II want to call your attention to another
fact: That we had slavery once in all civil
lied nations (applause) and the slave holder
made the same argument that you have
made here today. (Applause) I want to re-
mind you of another thing. That Rome rose
to high state of civilzation-they did not
have everything that we have now, but
they had many things that we have not
now-and when she was at that great
her farmers; the yeomanry of the Roman
empire was prosperous and was out of debt
and there was a high state of civilization.
No one can tell but what they were then
