CncAao, July 29.-The last day Of the
Hor,Hsrysy debate opened this after.
noon. The days attack was directed at
the question oI the feasibility Of Jade,
pcndsat action by the United States
ior the remonetIIatiou Of silver aud lie
free and unlimited coinage at a ratio Of
l6tolwilh gold, regardless al the actl
Of other nations, Mr.. Harvey arguing
%, such action, nr. HOrr against 1t.
The discussion was opened BY Mr..
Hou With a statement that tho figures
for the prices OF corn, referred to by
Mr. Harvey on a former day, showed
that the fluctuations Of a series OF years
had been normal ones In view OF supply
and demand, and showed that silver
legislation had nothing 10 do with tho
matter. The fact was that II was i'm.
possible to chow that the silver legisla.

Ilr. Harysy's figures, Mr.. Horr de.
sIared, were madS Up from English and
not American prices. On the subject
Of city and farm tenancy, Mr.. Horr said
that Mr. Harvey hRd quoted only part
Of paragraph. He had said that tho

The highest Of which. in the same para
sraph, Berlin was quoted, aud II was
higher than New York.
Mr. Harvey-New York will equal Il
inside OF ton years,
Mr. Horr, continuing, said that the
question at issue was not ono Of city,
but one Of farm tenancy. Thib tenancy,
Mr Horf Rvorred, was miSquoted by
Mr. Harvey. He showed an increase,
whereas there was an actual decrease as
lhoWn BY the census tables. Mr.. Har.
yeY had quoted this statement III ono of
hi, books rs coming from Carroll D.
Wright He (Mr. Horr) had written to
Mr Wright about il, and he had denied
that no had made any such statement.
Replying, Mr.. Harvey said that he
had taksn the figures as published aud
attributed to Mr. Wright. He had
a,kel labor leaders whether il could be
relied on and they said II could. slncs
then he had made direct inquiries, and
finding that the quotation was erro.
neou., had erased il from the plates OF
the book.
Taking up the regular discussion, Mr..
Harvey presented table showing tho
coinage Of gold and silver from 1902 TO
1873. EIs did this to show that gold did
not seek the mints Of the first City years
Of the nation, and that silver did not
from that time till 1873
Mr.. Harvey then quoted from his
book the total amount Of gold and silver
in the world and the cubic space they
would respectively occupy. HO went
on to argue that there was not enough
go,d in the world Tor coinage uses, in
view Of the fact that tha amount divert
ei from coinage for use Ia the arts had
greatly increased within tho past two

Nr Horn coming down to the quoH.
ion,n hand, declared it was useless to
Try % fix tho relative value OF any two
mb',anrns by legislation. The law Of
supply and demand stepped 10 theto,

cots metals.
Continuing his limo Of argument, Mr..
Harvey quoted estimates ~ TO tho con-
sumption OF gold In tho arts and other.

Mr. Harvey said that pold was irregu.

more valuable than gold, was boarded

Ihii reason that silver had boon n moro
