lily of Independent action by the United
States on tho reconciliation Of silver
with Its free and unlimited coinage at
10 to with gold, regardless Of the ac'
ton Of other nations.
Mr.. Harvey argued for such action,
Mr.. Horr against 1t.
Mr.. Harvey said that the more rapid
ly the blood coursed through the body
the more blood was needed, so the high
err the civilization the more rapid the ex-
change of commodities, the more money
these exchanges required FOR their ac-
complishment. Mr.. Harvey said that
any one who had occasion to look
into the question of reports of the
output Of mines would not be start
led by Mr.. Horr's big figures. He then
quoted the statistics of India under tho
silver standard, showing n steady
growth till the balance Of trade turned
In her favor In 1873. He declared that 1t
was their use of silver and our conf
parative dlsuse of 1t which gave such an
impetus to India, Japan and Mexico. He
declared he was In favor Of Independent
action by this government because It
would right great wrong; because the
nation could be Independent of Europe;
because we should be free from tribute
payingi to Great Britain; because our
power Is sufficient to compel Europe to
come to our standard In order 10 do bust
ness with us. Internal balances were
settled by weight. anyhow. There was
no such thing as international money.
Mr.. Horr resuming, said that there
was no such general lack of prosperity
in this country as Mr.. Harvey had
claimed Mr.. IIorr said he spoke from
the result of actual contact with the
people of the country. Since 1873 he
had travelled over 100000 miles, covering
thirty-onc states. 1t was fact that no
people on the face of the earth nal
been so prosperous as the people of the
United States since 1873. Why, during
the last year. this people whom Mr..
Harvey said We're on the verge of star
walton had paid over S3,0OO,OOO for

ly articles of necessity They We're, he
said, used somewhat for business, but
mostly for recreation and an artistic
view Of the human form divine. Mr..
Horr then proceeded to argue in behalf

The whole theory was fallaclous. The
