silver and Eggs.
Mr.. Horr, IN turn, said he spoke before,
not Of the quantity Of silver In the country
In comparison with eggs. but Of the amount
OF output OF silver. There was a consider.
able difference In tho staying qualities Of
silver and eggs. The trouble. Mr.. Horr do
gold would leave the country and our busi.
ness would be on q basis different from
the rest OF the world.
He argued that there was enough gold In
the world for the transaction of the lcgiti
mate business, and the annual output of the
mines OF the world was large enough 10
meet the increase Of the worlds business
In proof Of this he quoted the increasing
production Of Africa. Russia, India, Aus
tralia aud the United States and the open
Ing Of new and rich mines
Since 1850 the supply Of gold In the world
had increased from about $1,000, 600 600 to
over $1,000 100000 with Indications Of con
new mechanisms, he declSSed, were being de
vcloped rapidly to cheapfy furnish the gold
cure for Mr.. Harvey's silver jim-jams.
Mr.. Harvey said that the more rapidly the
blood coursed through the body the more
blood was needed. So. with the higher
civilization. the more rapid the exchange Of
commodities, the more money those ex
changes required for their accomplishment
! Mr.. Harvey said that anyone who had oc
caslon to look into the question of reports
Of the output OF mines would not bt

People Duying Bikes.
Mr.. IIorr. rcsuming said that there wal
no such general lack Of prosperity In this
country as Mr.. Harvey had claimed. Mr.
lIorr said he spoke from the result Of &C
tual contact with the people Of the coun
try Sincr 1873 he had travelled over five
hundred thousand miles. GOV ering thirty-on
face Of the Garth had been as prosperous al
the people Of the United States since 1873
Why, during the last year these people
whom Mr.. Harvey said were on the verge
OF starvation had paid over $3,0OO,O 600 FOL
10000 bicycles. These were not strictly
articles Of necessity. They were. he said

to argue In behalf Of the single standard
for money. saying that stability wa,

The whole theory was fallaclous.. The coli
must be intrinsically worth its face.
Mr.. Harvey says We have two hands ant
two feet, and two eyes. and that natur,
works BY twos. He has not examined tn,

Mr.. Harvey said that money could no

Harvey declared that appeal to the oil
soldiers would not affect them. They wer
patriots and they would think only Of tn

>. silver and Subsidiary Money.
|, Mr.. Horr said that silver had had its da
as the money Of final redemption. 1t woul
continue. however, to be used as subsidiar
money. Gold was the standard Of tn
world. and had come to stay. Mr.. Hor

Harvey In presenting him laorr) with

present Mr.. Harvey two coins Of two di

Mr.. IIorr then handed over two Chimes
coins, one Of silver. worth 20 cents, an
one Of copper, worth one mill. aud pr
