organized labor. Mr.. Harvey said: Or
sanisstions sustain wages for those ac-
toaliy employed while engaged at work,
but when you average wages by includ-
ing the unemployed and include the ex-
pensc and time lost. ID does not Go so.
Make the calculation this way, and you
will lind that the gold basis ha. meas
ured itself in wages with mathematical
accuracy.
This condition is not hkaltby: II is not
good for the country. 1t breeds strife.
1t creates loss to the industry and labor;
it destroys manhood; it makes criminals.
The cause for 1t should be removed. zap
plauss.) The labor organizations will
continue and have light to continue as
long as money is organized; as long as
monopolies are organized. (Applause. }
But we should have civilization that
would make it unnecessary for any or.
ganization of tnat character to exist.
In Europe wages have been forced
down to the legitimate level Of the gold
standard. The bayonet has been used to
do ii. Later it will do it here. The in
terest OF the laboring m an i 5 on our side.
We will hold his wages up without
strikes or expenses of strikes.
The gold of California and Astralia
raised his wages; so will the silver u
our mountains as it pours into our metal.
lie money stocks as primary money rais-
es his wages. There will be work for all
and the strife for labor will cease. The
man who now has work or situation.
and seltiahly reasons that he benefits
himself by maintaining a dear dollar, is
neither broad nor humane. He is assist
ing in wreoking his country and it may
be too late to remedy the error when he
too is without employment. (Applause.)
Referring to the reported 10 per cent ad-
vance in wages at Pullman affecting 1000
men concerned by the company without
demand by the toilers, Mr.. Harvey said
the facts are that there had been no ad-
vance made in wages at Pullman, and
Pullman himself admits that there was
no advance made and what they meant
was that they had given the men who
were at work 10 pei cent more work to do.
They had previously been working only
half time. (Applause.)
Speaking of tenancy, Mr.. Harvey said
20, ,OOO,0 00O cares of land in the Unitd
States today is owned by English titled
nobility, and the English land tenancy
has to that extent been already introduc.
ed into this country. In the state of Hi
nois there is county by the name of
Logan that has a county seat by the name
of Lincoln. and you can drive tor miles
through that county on your way to the
county seat and have on both sides of you
one of Lord Scnllys possessions, with the
Irish matched cottages over the land.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Horr-I have Travelled extensively.
very extensively, through thirty one
states of this union. and never yet sawta
single farm nor had my attention called
outside of the United States. There are
some. bnt they are few.
In closing the debate for the day Mr..
Harvey handed Mr.. Horr as souvenir
silver dollar OF 1893 with the word "unit'
upon it. Mr.. Harvey said: Take it.
Mr.. Horr. Washington may have carried
it in his pocket; Jefferson may at one
time have had it in his possession; it
may have paid for the paper on which
the declaration OF war was written in 1912
against Great Britain; it may have been
.fondled by Jackson, when writing his
message to congress against the national
banks. (Applanse.) 1t is fit souvenir
for any American proud of his country
and of its institutions to carry it in his
pocket all the days OF his life. passing

shouts of ''Hurrah!" and continued ap-
plause.)
Mr.. Horr, smiling: 81 shall keep this
dollar and put it to good use. intend
to have hole bored through it and then
l will hang it around the neck of my lit
tie grandchild born just after we COM
menced this discussion. (Applause.) 1t
will do you. Brother Harvey. good to
learn that the people OF the United States
are still. in spite of tho gold standard,
marrying and giving in marriage and
that children are still born to us in spite
of the silver dollar daughter and ap-
