that Only, was the reason for changing the
ratio between the two metals.
Mr.. Harvey-Mr. Horr says that have no
proof that the scheme was c0ncocted in Lon
don to demonetize silver In the United States
When was boy went into courthouse one
day to hear q criminal trial, and heard a
lawyer say: when crime is committed and
you want to detect the criminal look for the
man that is benefited by the crime" Reason
ing by induction will more invariably
locate the criminal than any uncertain
human testimony. Silver was demonetized in
England, and in England only. prior to the day
it was demonetized in this country. That was
where the movement started-that is another
evidence. London bankers initiated the Paris
conference Of 1857. at which Mr.. John Sherman
was present; therefore have the right to say
the conspiracy originated in London.
Thursday.
CHICAGO, July 2O-Thursday's Harvey
Horr debate was marked by considerable
acrimony on the part of both speakers. In be-
ginning, Mr.. Horr said he had personal ex-
PLANTATION to make. He quoted the following
paragraph from his opponents argument Of
Wednesday:
These principles are for the selfish inter-
ests of money lenders and Mr.. Horr is here adj
vocating them
Mr. Horr said he took this as reflection on
his character. He continued
II am rot money-lender have no inter-
est in any bank or other institution of like
character l was raised on farm, and my
first work was done for $40 month used to
dig bitches for living and was at one
time brakeman railroad When
l was elevated to the position of bag
gagemaster it was the proudest moment of my
life / therefore come into this debate as my
friend will find out before he gets through, to
advocate those principles which will be for

which 1 come. desire to say, however, that 1
have no prejudice against any man who has
been more fortunate than do not think a
man is necessarily ScOundrel because he
| saves more than he spends. even go so far
as to say man can be a director of national
bank and still maintain his integrity
Mr. Harvey explained that when he said Mr.
Horr advocated the principles of money LEND
ers, he did not mean to say Mr.. Horr himself
was money-lender. He thought, however.
in giving the history of his life. Mr.. Horr
should not have omitted to state that he had
at one time been bank president.
Mr.. harvey also said: Mr.. Horr and numer-
Gus employees of news paper corporations and
other corporations are in pIrt, many of them,
representing their honest convictions, and !
accord that to the honorable gentleman from
New York. Many of them never stop to ana
lyZe the question. the great principle that
must make or unmake the republic in which
they live. 1t is only question of salary which
they consider
1.-The value of the debate Wednesday was
this: studied Misrepresentation has gone
before the people of the United States that
| there was only $500O.000 of silver coined by the
United States government prior to 1873 Now,
meeting face TO face with a representative of
the other side of the question, this debate
now carries to the people of the United States
the admitted fact that there was $I43,0o0,0 ,0J0 of
silver coined prior to 1873. !"
Mr.. Horr took up the question of the origin
of the law of 1873. He said it was drafted after
consulting a large number of experts, who
were apt to know little more about the mon
etary question than those who had never
studied it at all. He denied that the
where except in the brains of the people
who were looking after the coinage interests
OF the United States He defied MI. Harvey,
not by assertion, to prove one single item
that had any reference to the British
people controlling or directing the matter.
Mr. Harvey-"By examining the records of
the day and the newspapers we find there was
an era Of corruption in congress at that time.
Clinton Colgate confessed before the ways and
means committee of 1873 to the use
of money to influence the incorporation
of special features in the internal rev.
enue bill, testifying among other things that
Charles Sherman. of Ohio. brother of Sena-
OSSL
York stock exchange in connection with the
revenue bill. The fact developed that while
the money had not been paid, Judge Sherman
had rendered a bill to the exchange for his
services, as he claimed, for securing the serv-
ices Of his brother, Senator Sherman, to put
the bill through Judge Sherman was then a
United States district Judge"
After denouncing the attempt of Mr. Harvey
to -smirch the congress of the United States
as infamous. Mr.. Horr said: 1.-The people of
this country-and the congressman is no ex-
ception-aS an average are upright,
honest business men, 1 admit that
Judge Sherman was guilty of crime That
was never in any way connected with his
brother John Sherman, and you know it. They
exonerated him Judge Sherman resigned
Immediately, they drove him from the
bench. But what has that to do with
the question whether Mr.. Knox openly and
squarely presented this bill to congress? 1t
was debated in the senate for three days. 1t
came to a vote in the senate January TO- 1874,
| and passed by yea and nay vote. The sena-
tors from the Pacific slope voted for it and
Senator Sherman voted against it, The Fifty
first congress died without action having been
taken on the bill"
Mr.. H. -r-"Upon the face of his own bill
there is a proof that to any man who has
studied this question is conclusive The
whole attempt to prove that any such bill
ever went from the house and senate is false
Does any man in his senses believe
that they ever undertook to give free
coinage of silver to standard dollar of 1884
grains. The old dollar was not reinstated, but
the silver dollar was reduced in weight from
412H grains to 384 grains and made subsid-
iary coin like all the other silver coins of the
United States.
The discussion of the act Of 1873 was con-
tinued until clock, when at the request of
Mr.. Horr adjournment was taken until 10 g. IN.
