HARVEY HACKS HORR.
The Gold Man Asks For and Gets 4 Day


CHICAGO. July y1S.-Today's Harvey
Horr debate was marked by considera.
bic acrimony on the part of both
speakers. In beginning Mr.. Horr said
he had personal explanation to make
He quoted the following paragraph
from his opponents argument ofyes'
terday:
ssThese principles are for the selfish
interests of money-lenders and Mr..
Horris here advocating them"
Mr.. Horr said he took this as a rehec-
ton on his character. He continued
81 am not money-lender I have no
bank or other institution Of like char
acter. was raised on farm and my
first work was done for ten dollars a
month. used to dig bitches for a
living and was at one time a brake
man on a railroad. When l was ele-
waited to the position of baggage-mas-
ter it was the proudest moment OF my
life. I therefore come into this de-
bate, as my friend will find cut before
he gets through, to advocate the prln-
ciples which will be for the best inter
ests of the working classes from which
I come. l desire to say, however, that
l have no prejudice against any man
who has been more fortunate than |.
| do not thinks man is necessarily a
scoundrel because he saves more than
he spends. Ieven go as far as to say
a man can be director of a national
bank and still maintain his integrity.
Mr.. Harvey explained that when he
said Mr.. Horr advocated the principles
of money lenders he did not mean to
say Mr.. Horr himself was a money
lender; he thought, however, in Civ
ing the history of his life, Mr.. Horr
should not have omitted to state that
he had at one time been a bank presi,
dent. This question will not be settled
by man parading himself as horny
handed son of toll, continued the free
silver advocate. But it lies deeper
than that. Perhaps Mr.. Horr was at
one time iaboring man, but so We're
many persons who are now selfish bank
presidents
Mr.. Havey then plunged knee deep
into a discussion of the Act of 1873,
which demonetizad silver. but was
shortly interrupted by the bell of the
time-keeper. Before following up this
line of argument Mr.. Horr INDUCED
in a little sarcasm at his adversary S
expense. with considerable merri-
ment Mr.. Harvey has told you, he
said. that I said it made my head
ache sometimes to study financial
questions. It would make any mans
head ache to write such superficial
stuff as is contained in this book. ,
Here Mr.. Horr tlourished copy OF
Coins Financial School. After
this he took up the history Of the post
Office, the Act of 1873. He defied the
champion of the white metal to pro-
duce any proof that England had any
hand in the Act of 1878.
In reply to this Mr.. Harvey said
that Delmar, the English historian,
had made it matter of record that
the English bill Of 1916 demonetizing
silver was for two weeks in the hands
of Mr.. Knox, the American comptroller
of the treasury. This statement, was
followed by denunciation of Con
gress. This attempt to smirch the
Congress of the United States can be
characterized by no other word than
Infamous shouted Mr.. Horr, leap
ing to his feet. The man who starts
in to do this had better never have
started at all" On the request of Mr..
Horr the debate was adjourned to ]
o'clock Saturday next.
