silver advocate, "But it lies deeper
than that. Perhaps Mr.. Horr was at
one time laboring man, but so were
many persons who are now selfish bank
presidents." Mr. Harvey then plunged
knee-deep into discussion of the act
OF 1878 which demonetized silver but
was shortly interrupted by the bell of
the time.keeper.
Before following up this line Of ar
gument. Mr. Horr indulged in a little
sarcasm at MS auVersary's expense.
with considerable merriment Mr..
Harvey has told you," he said, that |
said it made my head ache sometimes
to study financial questions. 1t would
not make any mans head aohe to write
such superficial stuff as is contained in
this book" Here Mr.. Horr fourished
copy Of Coins Financial School,"
After this he took up the history of the
passage Of the act Of 1878. He defied
the champion of the white metal to
produce any proof that England had
any hand in the act Of 1873.
In reply to this Mr.. Harvey said Del
mar, the English historian, had made
IL matter of record that the English
bill of 1916 demonetjzing silver, was for
two weeks IN the hands of Mr.. Knox,
the American Comptroller of the Treas
ury. This statement was followed by 4
denunciation of Ccag:oss.
The attempt to smirch the Congress
OF the United States can be character
lied by no other word than infamous
shouted Mr.. Horr, leaping to his feet
The man who starts in to do this had
better never have started all"
The discussion Of the act of 1878 was
continued until | o'clock when an ad-
]ournment was taken.
Aftor days rest for the participants, the
Horr-Harvey debate was resumed Saturday
afternoon at Chicago. II wish to say"
began Mr.. Harvey, ''that have not in the
progress of this debate vet made any charge
a-ainst the integrity the American people,
ut do not intend that those who are cor,
rupt in high places shall escape criticism by
throwing around them as cloak the intes-
rity of the American people
The discussion of the act )f 1898, by which
silver was demonetiZed, was then taken up
Mr.. Potter's Partin the transa ction being the
subject. The author Of "Coin" quoted freely
from the Congressional Record to show that
Mr.. Hooper, OF Massachusetts, moved to dis
pense with the reading Of the substitute bill
demoneti2ng silver. Here was an attempt"
said Mr.. Harvey, "to legsiate or the life
blood of n nation without reading the DILL"
Mr.. Horr said before he began his opening
statement for the day he wanted to protest
against something Mr. Harvey had said
about him him day before yesterday Mr..
Harvey had tiel. stated that whenever Mr..
Horr did no; reply TO his arguments ho
would take it for granted he could not re-
ply. ~ will lay down this rule for NJ Har-

his assertions. Now i submit to YOU what

Harvey won't back up Coin who will2 This
Is an instance where the boy is father OF the
we would have had no Mr.. Harvey.
Mr.. Horr then devoted himself to a defense
of Mr.. Hooper's action in regard to the bill
of 1878.
1t was now Mr.. Harvev's turn again, and
he continued reading from the Congressional
Record on the passage of the substitute ad-
vocated by Mr.. Hooper. In reply to ques-
ton. Mr.. Hooper had said the bill made no
changes in the existing coinage laws. Short
