Second Day.


Mr.. Horr: "The matter we were talking
about when we closed last night was the
question whether the trainers OF the bill
OF 1892 intended to establish two measures
of value. Mr.. Harvey criticised Judge Vim
cent for having decided that case In his re-
marks yesterday, but very tamely In COM
parIson with the statements which he made
about him in print soon after he made the
decision. He even called him dishonest IN
that criticism. Now, Judge Vincent Is a
reputable citizen, tax, 1t, of Chicago.
Some private individuals submitted Gues-
ton to him and he decided 1t as he honestly
believed was right, and there Is this pecn-
liarity about it, 1t is right Qaughter). Here
is what Judge Vincent decided:
"It Is undoubtedly true that the milled
dollar as it was then current was the start
ing point, and the number Of grains to COM
nose gold dollar was ascertalned by diyid-
ing the number of grains In the silver dol
lar by fifteen. But this does not alter the
fact that the units were expressed III gold
and silver. On the contrary 1t seems to
show that both were made units Of value.
The word unit was employed as the equiv
alent of dollar, and the dollar was to con-
sist of either one of two different things. one
tenth part of 247A grains of gold or d11A
grains of silver, just as equal values may
be embodied in given weights OF any two
given commodities such as wheat or corn.
A unit Of value Is the unit In which va!ues
are expressed. The values both Of gold and
silver are expressed in the act Of 1894. 40
we have two units of value II both had
not been 80 expressed we could not haye
had bimetallism."
Mr.. Horr also quoted ex-director of the
Mint II. o. Leech thu. the laws authorize
both a gold dollar unit and silver dollar
unit different from each other In intrinsic
value. That was the reason no d4ecch)

rived at Kansas City.
Feeders have been known to pay
more than packers for cattle, Eighty
