canal.
"NO people are naturally more
tenacious Of their liberties than the
Irish, yet through the efforts of the
INSCRIPTIONS diplomat, Lord Castle
reagh, English gold, supplemented by
rOyalty's gifts Of titles, purchased the
dissolution Of the Irish parliament.
"Since then home rule in Ireland
has been prevented by the influence
CT the aristocracy Of England side
tracking directing the issue Of home
rule. As long as the dominant power
can prevent it, like this financial
question from coming to a political
issue, either by deceiving the people
with party platforms, or by prevent
ing an issue from being made up,
they can continue to accomplish the
work already begun. Home rule In
Ireland is in that condition.
"The Chicago Post Of yesterday, a
gold standard paper says: For all po-
litical purposes the free silver dogma
Is as dead in the United States today
as the home rule doctrinein England.
Both are out of range Of practical pol
itics.'
"Such insidiOus statements as that,
telling them it is not an issue-in 9TH
er words, that they cannot get an op-
pOrtunity to vote for that which
they have a right to vote for, is their
method Of suppreSSing popular lib
erty."
Mr.. Horr-"Mr. Harvey still con-
tinues to rest his case upon an at
tempt to prove that the human fami-
ly is made up of scOundrels; that there
Is no such thing as honor among the
people Of this or any other country.
"The infamous statement that every
man has his price ought to be brand
ed on the brow Of every map who will
quote it in earnest because it is a lie
against humanity, Long and con-
tinued applause.) And it is equaled
only by the other statement that
there is no such thing as virtue
among the women Of the United
States or any other country"
Mr.. Harvey-'I didn't make that
statement"
Mr.. HOrr-"That was a motto
that nobody but villain like Aaron
Burr could have originated, and / am
surprised that in the nineteenth GEN.
Jury man will stand up before an
American audience and base his case
upon the proposition that the people
Of our grand republic are mostly vii
lians, because l say to you in all can
dor, the members Of congress are fully
up in honesty and decency to the aver
age American people. l know it be-
cause I have been one myself, you
know. (Laughter.l
"But what bias all that to do with
whether this bill was properly pre-
scented and discussed? l am familiar
with what Mr.. Kelley said afterwards,
but l now read to you what he said
when this bill was up in the house on
the report Of Mr.. Hooper and it is
not a speech that was presented by
leave This took place right on the
floor Of the house.
ut is impossible to retain the doub-
lie standard. The value OF gold and
silver continually fuctuates; you can.
not determine this year what the rel
alive value of gold and silver will be
next year. They were l6 to l short
time ago; they are 16 to l now.
Hence all experience had shown that
you must have one standard coin
which shall be a legal tender for all
Others"
In replying to the large assortment
Of questions put to Messrs. Horr and
Harvey by the audience, the most in
teresting colliquy was at the very end
of the days proceedings. This CO.
nundrum was put by Mr.. L. G. Pow
ers of Michigan: "You said yester-
day, My answer is, first, that l did
not say l forced them to change or
correct any mistakes "In Coins
Financial School up to Date" page
152, you say: Coin here explains how
an error had crept into the official re-
port Of the treasury, that he had since
creed the treasury department to
correct that error Please explain the
manifest discrepancy"
Mr.. Harvey-"The answer is, Coin,
a little boy, in knee pants, represents
the cause Of bimetallism; he does not
represent me. Applause and groans
on each side Of the house respectfully
81 would not have the egotism to
claim that l represent Coin in many
arguments and sentiments and kind
