 CHICAGO. July 2S--The last day but one of the Harvey -Horr silver conven- tion began yesterday afternoon.
 Horr opened with a comparison of wages and cost of products during the years from 1860 to 1890 as shown in a table prepared by St8tistician Carroll D. Wright. With the wages and prices of 1860 taken as an index or lC0 1t show ed that in 1890, prices were 92; wages 159, and tue purchasing power of wages TYP. Horr proceeded to argue that at no time in the history of the nation was a country as prosperous as 1t was at that time, in spite of the "crime of 1873." He stated these statistics were moie applicable to the conditions under discussion than these of Mir. S8uerbeck quoted by Harvey Thursday, as Sauer- beck's figures were made on prices in England.
 MT. Harvey in turn took up the mat ter of the prices of wheat for series of years, in reply to Horr's statement Thursday that the farmer had received as much for produce in gold as he re- ceiveG before silver was demonetized For answer he quoted prices from year to year. He declared the arguments of Horr were those used in the time ef the Bulwark tyraDy. The Declaration of Independence was a proper answer to such arguments. The proper index of prices was to measure them in articles in international use. Tables made up by gold men, even on these articles, showed they were lower than in. 1850. Referring to Horr'S argument touching the measure of value in human toll, Harvey quoted from an article by Horr Tn New York paper in reply to Q cor respondent who suggested making so much.wOrk the equivalent of dollar.
 Horr declared the proposition absurd and confusing.
 Harvey denied Horr's assertion that falling prices were the result of improved facilities. Harvey said 1t IS the supply produced ana the demand for 1t that re- gulates the prlce of such products. Sup pose widow owning farm receives voluntary assistance of her neighbors to raise and harvest her wheat crop. If the crop was in Iowa, would the Iowa corn price be goverened by the cost of pro duction, or by the relative supply and demand for corn? "The cost of product ion has nothing to do with it. A man may may produce aD ounce of gold for 10 cente that is worth S20. The fact that 1t cost him 10 cents does not make it worth any less than S2O."
 Horr-"H8rvey Is mystihed by the cause if he takes it for granted that the business of the country entirely de pend- upon the amount per capita of the circulating medium. He insists that if you shrink you ruin business in the country. There are large num- Der Of men who believe that doctrine, but TO more transparent humbug was ever taught Money IS plethora Tn this country; today, there are hundreds of millions of dollars lying idle simply because there is no body to use it, Did you know that? Is 1t not an abundance of money that makes money active. The country has per capita oi S26 O2. Can ada has Sl0 per capita, but has an elegant banking system; no better on earth. Switzerland, one of the most prosperous little nations on the globe, has only Sl4 IS. about half as much az this coun- try has. The ratio of money to the popu- latior proves nothing. 1 want to show on the proposition that wages have in- creased; that organizations sustain wages for those actually employed while engaged at work. But when you aver age wages by including the unemployed and include the expenses of tims lost. it does not do so. Make the caiculI Ition this way and you will find that the gold basis has measured itself in wages with mathematical accuracy. This condi | tion is not healthy; 1t breeds strife, creates loss to industry and labor; de stroys manhood; makes criminals. The 1 cause for it ehould be removed. Labor l will continue and have the 1 right to continue as long as monopolles | are organized. But we should have a | civilization that would make it unneces- sary for any organization of that char acter to exist. Tn Europe wages haYef been forced down 10 the legitiWaY al | of gold standard.
