Attacks Horr's HumOr.

MIR, Harvey-Mr, Horr prefers 90 bo
humorous. This Is a serious mattSr
with the people Of the United States
We regard 1t. on our side Of this Ques-
tion, in a serious way. II they can an
vert the minds Of the people by treRt-
ing the question as they treat IL, then
If 1t is a fact that property is accumu-
lating in the hands Of the few, and tfss
many are becoming poorer and poorer,
and we are travelling in the sam8
route that all republics are traveling. "a
monarchy and despOtism, then his ar
gument Is good argument to make
on the other side Of the question, u
keep us going In that direction. wan
only answer one thing In his last
speech: H0 says that 1t Is unfair %
have two measures In money, that it
should be the same as In the measure
Of length and weight, and make illus-
trations for comparisons. Now, money
Is not the same, cannot be considered
In the same way that you can consider
weight and measure In money we re-
ly for bimetallism upon two materials,
two substances. There is more sta
bllity in that than relying upon one
metal. For bread food, we rely upon
wheat, corn and rice. For meat, Ws
rely upon beef, pork and mutton, and
beef cannot rise inOrdlnately high az
long as pork and mutton are In cOnl-
petition with 1t. You must have Ia 4
financial system balance like the
two metals Of which the pendulum Of d
clock is made, made Of two metals to
cOunteract each other, so In your hna1-
clal system 1t is safer to have two met
ais than to rely on one. And when you
have them under control OF the law
and put them each in competition with
the other, then the one cannot advance
without the other taking its place, and
II the nation Is large enough to DOM
mate the commerce Of the world they
will stay at a parity as they did for all
the hundreds of years that we have d
record Of prior to 1873. (Applause.)
You put yourself on false money
measurement when you use one metal
which the money bankers can corner
at their pleasure. Do not be misled on
this financial question by any sophlstry,
but study for yourselves, and you viii
arrive at the same conclusion that
have. Gold will not go out Of this
country.
Mr. Harvey Closes.
If We have free coinage Of silver the
use Of money in the United States will
establish a parity between the two, and
then gold will be held. A man set
tling a balance with US In Europe, II
he cannot get silver to send he must
send his gold. The argument have
made in this debate today will convince
you that upon the United States adopt
ing the free coinage Of silver It's ex-
tenslve use as money will take the
metal out of the markets Of the world
and force parity as 1t was forced
prior to 1873. With independent action
Of the United States other nations will
follow our example. We have allowed
England to set the example for the
world. The United States when she
exerts her power is greater than Eng
land. (Applause) And when she ex-
erts 1t the other nations Of the earth
will take hope. France will follow
She said at the conference Of Brussels,
I'VE are here to hear your proposition
and are ready to accede to 1t. Name Il,
what is lt?" Mexico and South Aneri-
ca VIII be with us: China and Japan
and an the weaker nations of the WORLD
