Charges 1t to London BankeFs.
Mr.. Harvey-'Mr. Horr says that I have
no proof that the scheme was concocted In
london to demonetize silver In the United
states. When / was q boz 1 evnt Into q

Mr.. Horr has only taught In this debate
q proposition that 1t 10 the interest Of
every selfish money lender In the world to
advocate and he Is here advocating It (ap-
plause). In 1873, when this treacherous act
was passed, there was no specie currency
In this county. During all the years from

posed to demonetixe either Of the metals
except some money lenders from Europe
who proposed 1t in 1854 %(applause). But at
that time. 1879. when 1t was not In cir.
culatton and was not needed then, the
movement was begun and contaminated.
and as one congressman said when the
bill was offered In congress we are not
using gold and silver 40 money. have not
yet considered an act for the resumption Of
specie payment, n the introduction Of
this bill at the present time either means q
trick or Is a farce worthy Of being carica.

start. He said his opponent stated:

early part Of that life was spent In hard
work on a small farm. I commenced work
hardly any kind Of manual labor In which
I have not at some time in my life engaged,
