 Being Eaten Away.

William Hope Harvey was introduced to Little Rock audience by Congress- man W. L. Terry at Glenwood Park on the I'd of November, and spoke as fol- lows concerning our financial system:
 Mr. CHAIRMAN LADIES AND GENr1EMEN:- l recognize the fact that Little Rock is tie great city of the trans ssisippi south and that this aGdience will critically judge any cause presented for it's approval ana extend cheerful allegiance to any intelligent and patriotic tona policy. have three times visited Eu- reka Springs in your state and had shat. tered system restored to health by your purs water and invigorating climate. There are two other produc produced this state Of which you may be justly pfoad Ono is apples, the other is splendid type Of southern manhood and Womanuool L Gp5n the continue cult Xa- tlt n ot that character of your citizenship de- bends the intelligence and patriotism of the voice of Arkansas in shaping the future policy Of the republic
 We believe that bfmetaIIfsm that relies on two metals for money is a better DO icy than one that relies only or one m tal We do no5 pretend to say that tho intelligence of man. Kind may not aaa q 9ettcr system than both of them, but We do say that to demoneuze either Of these metals is step backward and not step forward
 Thomas Jefferson said in enc ot his stats papers Nearly aH man are but eaitGen eA the subject Of money. vas reminded Of Lis the other day hen maHufaetUrer asked me what "18 to meant" 1 asked hlm what he thought it meant. Iie repsIe1. My under standing is that it meaas that you want six teen silver dollars coined to each gold dollar
 This was representative man among .he masses of our inteidaeut people Thomas Jeferson was right. I he money dealers un- dersfand it and he success Of their selfish legislation is made pl ssible by reas Cf the people unQersfaD.lI8Er c money. One reason for heir hot understand ing 1t is because they have not understood the importance Of It.
 Money is the hood Of commerce, the life giving fluid of ele3 zatioa tae vital organism In our socat exls eae-. society cannot exst without it. It is greater necessity than any other commo iity il existence. Wayf You can do without wheat eora4 beef or any othea singe commodity c.assed among the neeas tttes Of life, and vet b. thg and happg. Hat you cannot imagine yourself part of civiiiza- tion and do without money ! 9u can do with out wheat by using corn or rice for bread; you can do without beef hy using pork and mu. ton for meat, but you cannot go home on Inc street ear tonight without money to ray your fare Without money soeietv would go back to baf- bnrssm. All the producers manufacturers al w8geworkeFs Of the nat oa are measuring their property and services ia it and using 1t again with which to buy other taHazs It's the most important factor VIC have In civil lza- ton and may well be termed the hood Of eiF- Hizetion. IL Is to civilization what bzeod is | your bodies
 One ot tha rn'cs that shauf1 be applied to any necessity is ti4s taere saea.d es aaTHas quantity of 1t There is neeessit f9r 50 much bread.

 Cattle are raised by fAtura ani the supply Is r, gulated by the demand All are free to raise cattle who VI to, bat money k an afti- hcial substnuc' and k made by law. The money dealer knows tAis aal he ga-s where the money is mad and gets those IaSs made to suit his business. 1t would be great temptation to the cattle man it he had the power to destroy hail of the oatte Of Inc world. Tn temptation has be e3n 10 CT at for the money dealer 10 resist
 When our fore.atbers set up this republic they adopted among oth things. two prinei pies. One was that II vas better to re!y on the judgment of maj rity Of all tue people than 1t was upon the ju tgment of a c'a<s of people who might have a soIhsh interest to serve The ether was, that this nation was able to legisiaje for itself. We ask you to ap- ply tbese two principle
 BimttalisH Is the right to use either gold or silver as primary monoy- Thus, uuier such q law, if our trade reat' ms or Inc laws ot other nations take our gold ava then w5 have sil yer and no serious in5ury occurs And the same say ag principle plies if cur silver should leave Us and gold remained The vital principle ia b metaiisn is the right to use either netaL If rr5ductt6H E. ows less oL one we have the other and the two toa ther fura ishes more stable supply cf money material than either alone can lu nish. With one only of them for money the c ntr3ctiOn a}ua expa9- sion of the wer ds sgppiy alternating as they will makes an uncertain aud uastat,e supply, or the two metals, dollar for GGI n, sixteen paris Of silver to one par of gel silver is tho most useful Of the two, is ap lied to the most uses and is inc most sery cean Q of the two metas.
 The principle that 1t Is safer to rely for money on two metals than on one. is prlnci- pie that carry nt3 every day life. We rc- ly on wheat corn and rice fer hre ad; on beef pork and mutton for meat 1; one is scarce we the other
 IL is also a principle recognized by the un- seen power that maie us, We nave two ey-s, each to relieve the strain upon the other: two ears two arms two legs for the same reason We have one head, but two loh cf Train; one heart, but two ventrio.e5 ani two sets O. veins; ore chest, but two lHnas, two functions to relieve the organs of dires ton; the mouth and nose are both dual in construction Crea- hon itself is dual in the marriage e Htion. l ren. nd you ef these simple facts ia nature 10 teach the simple lesson that in prov ding for money. it was simplicity and wisdom 10 pro vide that money could be made from two metas, one to relieve the strain uaon the othr and the volume of both to be drawn upon 10 meat the demand for money.
 If silver became tfe eaGaplGt by slight fiuctnation the demand Was thiown on it. thus restoring the parity T. gold was the cheap est, it was used and the demand brought 1t back. There is no better recagniz pr ciple than the law Of supply and m Id regulating values IL was th9 law to ,eh binetal ism was adjusted and to mako it seit operative. the optt0n given to Inc d' 'bfor who would all ways put he demand on the cheaper metal ands his prevented my matera huctuation
 We have had the effects Of this law in the official reports of governments for 100 years next prior 0 1873 and tue fiuetnaton, enc dol lar as compared with the other was never to exceed per cent
 Under this law nth Il 97i4 grains of pure silver was put in dol ar and -3 : 10 grains of cold a,4st tn dr.ff .t-
