The advocate., 1895-08-14

VI ueVOIlng yourself to business ynf
haven't before now established a school
for the education of doctors. From ybur
speech this morning on insanity. etc
you have a clear cut idea about physl-
clans, and If you will apply your meth
Cd OF arguing you will open such 4
school tomorrow. The only way IS to
start out with the proposition that the
whole human race is sick Qaughter): !:
that we are all subject to disease; that
there isn't single person on the face
Of the earth who hasn't some aches and
some pain. Now If there is any unlim-
tied demand for anything on the face of
the earth, 1t is something that will ra.
lieve people from feeling badly. Doc
tors are the things. Consequently III
order to carry out your theory 1t would
become necessary to magnify the dis
ease OF the people. Make them think
that every little ache is a disease that
threatens life, and then you would get
an unlimited demand for doctors. Now
in order to carry out just that theory,
my friend Harvey has magnified the
debts of the people OF this country. He
does not recollect that the business OF
the world Is more done upon credit
than all other things combined. When
you strike down the credit OF the world
you bring trouble.
Wage Farmers Not Creditors.
Mr.. Harvey--All that Is necessary to
reply to in what Mr.. Horr has just said
is this: That in computing the number
of creditors and debtors in this country
relatively, he has no right to count the
wage-workers of this country as credit
ors because a weeks wages happens to
be due them at the time he counts them.
(Applause) That a man who has ten
or fifteen dollars due him, who at the
same time owes for grocery bills or
other debts a larger sum than that ten
or fifteen dollars, 1t is miserably ridlcu-
lous to have him counted in the creditor
class. (Applause.) You cannot, Mr.
Horr, defending the creditors Of OLD
England and New England, get any
sympathy or assistance from allies you
are not entitled to, from men whom you
seek to make your allies by a pretense
that Is base and false.
Debts in this country have accumulate
ed until men are now mOrtgaging prop
erty that they never thought Of mort.
gaging before. When I say paWnbrok-
ers also have reference to the chattel
mortgage fend, so-called, who loans at
from to 5 per cent per month. Ware
houses are now being constructed to
store Notwithstanding that the own
ers ought to be sleeping on. will drop
this subject, because the least intima-
ton makes the people know what I
mean, by saying that l hold in my hand
book that gives the chattel mortgages
In the state Of Nebraska. Under law
there the owners Of chattel mortgages
were required to record them or they
could not collect their money. And this
book that I hold in my hand and pass
over to Mr.. Horr shows that there Is
per capita indebtedness in the state Of
Nebraska on chattel mortgages alone Of
SlS per capita, and that does not include
the actual "three-ball" pawn shops; and
had right when said that the pawn
brokers Of the United States had the
people in debt to them $1,000, 600, 900. I
had right to say 1t, and 1t was true,
as every other item in that list is true,
which I have not now the time to an
'wer without exhaustlng the words Of
this debate. Since this debate began I
have followed its logical arrangement.
Much more might have been said upon
