PuIIman's "Raise."
Mr.. Harvey asked if the people were
not deceived about wages being in
creased. Referring to the reported 10
per cent advance in wages a Pullman,
anectlng 1000 men, conceded by the
company without demand by the toll
ecS, Mr.. Harvey said the facts are
that there has been no advance made
IN wages at Pullman, and that Mr.
Pullman himself admits that there was
nc advance made, and what they
meant was that they had given the
men that were at work about 10 per
cent more work to do. They had pre-
V1ouSly only been working only half
time. iApplause) Mr.. Harvey read
letter from Thomas 1. Kidd, general
secretary of the Machine Wood Work
ers' international union, saying: IF
clothes and food embraced ali the
nSceSSlneS OF the labOring people, the
dollar would unquesti0nably be of
greater value TO them than ever; but
they do not and what the laborer may
save by cheaper clothes and food is
more than offset by increased rent
alone. When all things are considered.
the real value of the dollar is no
greater than in 1865.
"One trouble that labor viii now or
ganiZe III the United States is that on
account Of the depressed condition of
affairs Iaborers are not working full
time. The unions have succeeded in
holding UP tie price per diem, but the
men are not working more than say
one-haf the time. which is making
shat much less in dollars that they are
receiving"
As to Tenancy.
Speaking of the tenancy, Mr.. Harvey
said: Twenty million acres of land
in the United States today is owned
by English titled nobility, and the Eng
lish land tenancy has TO that extent
been already introduced into this coun-
. try. In the state of Illinois there is a
county by the name of Logan that has
a county seat by the name Of Lincoln,
and you can drive for miles through
that county on your way to that
county seat and have on both sides Of
you one OF Lord Scully's possessions
with the Irish matched cottages over
the land" (Applause.t
Mr.. Horr-I have traveied extern
sively, very extensively, through
thirIy-one states of this Union, and I
never yet saw a single farm, nor had
my attention called TO one that was
owned by people living outside of the
United States There are some, but
they are few.
Mr. Harvey said: THE proposition
is made by the gold standard men
that all of our efforts for the restora-
ton of silver is for the interest OF
silver bullion owners. It is not true.
In our struggle to restore a sufficient
volume of primary money in the coun-
try we have turned our attention to
silver to right the wrong that
was committed and to restore
to the people that which is
the peoples money Irrespective
of who owned that property. We do
not object to gold because the gold
miners produce it, and the arguments
that the gentleman makes about silver
producers should be made with the
same force about the gold producers,
but I want to make another answer to
il. I want - say to you that the silver
producers have not assisted in running
this campaign. (Applanse) If they
they were assisting anyone 1t is rea-
6onable to suppose that they were as

summer Of 1888. My conmitte appealed
personally and by letter to about all
the silver mine owners in the west for
donations to assist US. We did not re-
ceive a cent. At one time sent out
fOrty-four letters to selected names of
as many prominent silver mine owners
who were supposed to be wealthy

not receive a cent from them, not even

Souvenir For Horr.
In closing the debate for the day
Mr.. Harvey handed Mr.. Horn as e
souye mr. a silver dollar of 1899, with
the word Unit" upon it. Mr.. Harvey
said: Take it. Mr.. Horn, Washington
may have carried it in his pocket:
Jefferson may at one time have had
1t in his possession; it may have been
paid for the paper on which the
declaration or war was written in
1872 against Great Britain; it may
have been fondled by Jackson when
writing his message to Congress
against the national banks. Gap
piause1 L is a fit souvenir for any
American proud of his country and of
its institutions TO carry it in his
pocket all the days of mis- aife.''
passing the dollar to Mr.. Horr) APP
plause. Shouts of 'hurrah" and con-
tinued applausel.
Mr. Tforr smiling: II shall keep
this dollar and put it to a good use.
I intend to have hole bored through
II and then I will hang it around the
neck of my little grandchild born just
after we commenced this discussion.
(AppIause) 1t win do Brother Har-
yey good to learn that the people of

fbe gold standard, marrying and Civ
