In his reply to these charges MI uat
Vav produced an article written pA NJ
Horr in answer to a correspondent NHich
had appeared i'm The New York Irioui'f'
T.. when Mr.. Horr scored az wy
which he has frequently advanced IN the
nresent debate that human labor formed a
Trustworthy standard Of value. Mr.. Horr
reply to the correspondent as quoteu PH
Mr.. Harvey. concluded with the words:
..Your system seems so absurd that
can hardly treat 1t soberly.
Mr. Harvey said he was accused by ms
opponent of finding fault with men aI'u
conditions for the reason. as he charged
that the silver people delighted to DO so.
Mr.. Horn has contrasted against that the
better disposition in man that loved TO
look on things that were pleasant.
Mr.. Horr's Inappropriate language con-
sisted Of words that might be addressed
to slaves but not to free men. Mr. Harvey
i'm defending his use OF the Sauerbeck tapie
TO show the decline in prices of staple ar
ticles since 1850 attacked the Aldrick ia
ble. which he said was made partly by the
help of Edward Atkinson, whose bias could
be Judged b. the fact that ne had recently
said over his own signature to Chlca%o
paper that the proper way to deal with
n silver man was TO hit him over the

a decline in prices of 80 per cent below
1872 and 3 per cent below the prices of 1860.
Mr.. Horn accused his opponent of being
tricky in quoting one sentence from the
article which he had written for The New
York Tribune and assuming that it showed
the efst of the whole article. What he said
I'm reference to the mans theories being
ridiculous did not relate to his measure Of
value at all. 1t was his attempt to sub
stitute a paper dollar based on nothing with
which 10 do the business of the country.
Mr.. Horr added: THAT is who're Harvey
will land yet. The disease That ha has
never dies out. What he wants and what
these people are after is TO destroy all
property and to put this nation on a social
istic and anarchiStic basis ceres OF

Mr.. Horr-That is right I knew you
would understand that.
Mr.. Harvey-There is not one scintilla I'm
this debate that authorizes you to say
that.
MIR. Horr-I say there is one scintilla in
IT and | say that up to date you have got
applause from this audience your part of
it only. when your arguments tended TO
show that you think the whole society of
this country ought to be destroyed Cries

Mr.. Horr-I know what | am talking
about. Now as to banks why is it that
TRADE against bankers? l can hardly
conceive of a greater, more wicked mis-
representation of facts than have crept
into the talk he has given us up to the
present moment. No nation has been as
prosperous as the United States since 1873.
Mr.. Harvey presented his opponent with
a table OF failures in the United States dur
ing the last thirty-eight years and declared
that the credit system of money would
account for every dollar In those failures.
