noon.
Il wish TO say" began Mr.. Harvey,
''that 1 have not in the progress Of this
debate yet made any charge against the
integrity Of the American people. but
do not intend that those who are corrupt
in high places shall escape criticism by
throwing around them as "a cloak the IN
tegrity Of the American people"
The discussion Of the act of 1873 by
which silver was demoneuzed was then
taken up, Mr.. Potters part in the trans

and he continued reading from the Con-
gressional Record on the passage Of the
substitute advocated by Mr.. Hooper. in
reply to a question Mr.. Hooper had said
the bill made no changes in the existing
coinage laws. Shortly afterward--within
the hour-the bill was passed without being
read. Mr.. Harvey now went into the SEN
ate history of the bill Senator Sherman,
he alleged, and made frequent citations
from the records in proof of his asser-

ate action on the bill when the matter
was first brought up in the Senate, and to

was one of no importance whatever and
they need not give over an hour altogether

Mr.. Horr denied that undue haste had
been made in the passage of the bill in
the Senate or House, and defied Mr.. Har-
