Historical Reasons 10 Sustain IT.
MisstatementS In the "Ftnanrfat

Champions Expense.

CHICAGO. ILL. July 2-Evldence Of
fatigue or lack Of broth was apparent in
neither Of the principals In the Horn
Harvey debate when time was called for
the sixth round to-day. Mr.. Harvey lei
with vindication OF HIS choice OF side.
which. he said, rested upon five historical
reasons:
First. for 100 years prior 10 the demone-
tlzation OF silver in 1873. silver was seek
ing the mlnts OF the world for coinage
into money.
Second for 80 years prior 10 1873 there
was no variation between the commercial
and the legal ratio OF l5i-s 10 I. During
the twenty-five years since 1875, however,
the two ratios had separated widely. amt
gone from IL l-3 TO TO about y 20 1.
Third. for thIrty-elght years prior to
1873. the quantity ratio between silver
and gold ranged from &c Of silver TO OF
gold to OF silver 10 OF gold; but
despite this wide variation. the ratio hal
chung closely 10 the legal ratio.
Fourth. the price OF silver in the Lon
don market, as measured In gold mp 20
1873 was practically steady, while since
that date silver had declined from ~
pence per ounce TO 2S.7 pence per ounce.
Fifth. this violent nuctuation In the
price OF silver has been going on since ia
decentralization. and Is going on to-da.-
COINS" ERRORS
Mr.. Horr did not reply directly TO HIS
opponent, but took up Mr.. Haryey's
statement OF yesterday, that but one error
had been found sn his work, say
ing that there were myriads 81 mis-
statements not express MEASUREMENTS %
facts. but false Implications. which any
man OF sense would repudiate on sight
At this point Mr. Horr created somo.
derlsion at the expense OF Mr.. Harvey
by saying that he did not deny that his
opponent believed all he had written. As
a matter OF fact, IL was impossible for
him TO tell what a man In Mr.. narveys
state OF mind might b. capable OF bellev-
ing The statement in Coins Financial
School" that every ounce OF silver pro-
duced up 10 the present time had cost
its producers g an ounce was secuted
by Mr.. Horr III the mlne-owners had
been producing silver al this rate AMI
selling II, as they had been doing, AZ N..p
TO Sl.57 an ounce they had lost by the
transaction during the past three years
some s236, 10000.
The next point OF attack was the state
ment on page SO OF Harvey's book that
the people OF this country are annually
paying to England s2Oo,0oooo In Interest
ON national and private loans Mr.. iorr
denied this fatty. aud challenged any one
to produce evidence that the indebtedness
of the people OF this county 10 all ne
nations OF Europe involved anything Ike
such an amount OF interest.
Mr. Harvey then took his opponent %
task for skipping about the book TO ma
substance for his remarks, instead OF con-
lining himself TO the regular order OF pro-
ceedlngs. az agreed on. and said no would
not be diverted FROM his original plan
by such tactics.
