HoRR'S DEBATE WITH HARVEY.
EACH CLAIMS To HAVE GOT THE
BEST OF THE OTHER.

The Two Speakers Prepare n Reca-
pituIatfOn of the Points Made in
Their Arguments-The Claim That
the Law of Is13 Was Passed by
Bribery and Corruption Absolutely y
UnprOVen-Mr. Harvey Also Fails
TO Sustain Several other Points
Made I'm His book.
Chicago. Aug. 6.-In accordance with
the agreement entered into by the silver
and gold debaters. Messrs. Horr and Har-
vey, governing their recent contest in this
city. each was to prepare a recapitulation
Of the points made in their respective ar
guments. not exceeding $3.50 words each.
and to complete the same within week
from the close Of the contest. This has
been done. and in substance the summary
Of Roswell G. Horr is as follows;
Mr.. Harvey admits that the book is
pure fiction. He regulates its motto by
declaring that 1t does not mean what it
says. His statement that primary money
only is the measure of value he has not
even attempted to sustain. though his
proof has been called for repeatedly.
Mr.. Harvey next based his case upon
the assumption that the law Of 1913 was
a crime and stated that it had its origin
in fraud and its birth through bribery and
corruption. He introduced no evidence in
support of either proposition and he
stands convicted Of making every one of
those charges without any proof that
would be received in any ordinary court
of Justice. If congress was bribed to
pass a bad bill. then the bill must have
first passed in bad shape. Now, If that be
true. there would be no need of a clerk
to do the dirty work. If it was done by
the enrolling clerk, then II follows that
congress passed the bill as it ought to
have done. and consequently they would
not have done what he says they were
bribed to do.
If congress passed the bill all right and
the enrolling clerk enrolled it correctly
then the bribery could apply only to the
members of the conference committee
All these villainies are then abandoned
when he claims that the whole thing was
accomplished by means of a Substitute
bill" He misled people by partial state
iilNAAAS WHICH Atu 10 ldlSe conclusions Wnen
the whole statement would have been
perfectly clear to any one. The civilized
world is clearly on my side of this issue
Mr. Harvey, in summarizing the debate,
says; 1t settled the proposition that gold
or silver are the money of the constitution
Mr.. Horr does not controvert this. This
silver dollar was the unit of values in
our coinage system fixed by the act of
1892. Mr.. Horn admits this. Silver and
gold m Of aH
until 1873, and the debtor had a right 70
pay in either metal. The act of 1873 was
surreptitiously passed. The prices of all
property are now measured in gold alone
and are substantially one half what they
would be under the bimetallic system. 1
have made good all the propositions set
forth in my opening statement. Mr.. Horr
found no errors in my book except the
statement that the silver coined prior to
1873 was $l050O0,000 instead of $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Horn shows that he does not yet
know what bimetallism Is.

CONDITION OF GEORGIA CROPS.
A Big Yield of Corn Expected, But
Cotton backward.

Atlanta. Ca. Aug. 6.-The weekly wealth
er crop bulletin issued to-day gives the fol-
lowing report Of the crop conditions: THE
rainfall of the past week was too heavy
in the southern section, while in the north
ern part of the state the showers were so
light and scattered as to be OF very little
benefit. In the counties the amount OF
moisture was sufficient.
LAS a result of the dry weather corn in
the northern counties has suffered slight
injury, and while the outlook is not quite
50 promising as It was very recently, there
are stil encouraging prospects for a large
yield.
In the central and southern counties
an immense corn harvest is already as
Sured
The complaint continues that cotton is
small and backward, and in the northern
counties IL has made little or no advance
ment during the week but taking into
consideration the fact that there is re-
markable absence of such evils as lice.
rust or boil worms. there is every reason
to hope that the crop will eventually turn
out much above the average"
Next weeks report will contain a special
~ prepared estimate of the corn crop.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
The Three Plans Suggested in the
Matter of Suffrage.

hHAttE OF SuHFuEes
Columbia. S. c., Aug 6.-In the opinion
Of Gov. Evans. Senator Tillmau and other
leaders. the constitutional convention will
not be in session longer than three weeks.
The suffrage question is the one that will
occupy most OF the time Of the convention.
Three suffrage plans have been suggested.
The first is the Mississippi plan. with mod
ihcations, which is proposed by Senator
lillman. He favOrs the adoption of the
Mississippi plan pure and simple, for the
next five years, and after that time an
education qualification.
Another plan is proposed by ]. p. Ken
nedy of Abbeville county. 1t is TO give
every man who pays a poll tax one vote,
and every man who pays taxes on $500
worth Of property two votes. He esti-
mates that this last provision will over
come the 1900 negro majorities under the
universal plan, and give the whites a
majority of 10000 in the state If three
votes were given 10 those who pay taxes
on $1,000 worth Of property. the white ma
jority would be increased TO $4,000
The third suggestion comes from Rep
resentative II. Cowper Patton. from Rich
land. He favors an educational qualifica-
ton, with a small property qualification
added, but the provision that every cit
izen that has ever borne arms in defense
of the state or United States be given
the right to vote. and that his descendants
be given the same right, even if they can
not comply with the other qualifications.
Other plans will be urged before the con-
vention, but these are the only ones that
have been made public so far.
The returns from the primaries show
that the conservatives will number about
forty-one members of the convention This
number viii likely be increased TO forty
six after the general election, as no NOM
nations have been made in Sumter and
Beaufort counties
