Harvey stands rs the exponent of the
rich and not OF the toilers. whose well

Mr. Harvey replied: II read from
the report of the United states none
tary commission Of 1876, not for the
purpose of entering into an argument
on political economy OF the years 1900
to 1900, but simply to show that all OF
my friends from New York and else
where who had accused me OF forgery
were wrong. Mr., lInrr shall not Eet
me at any point OF this debate to d.
vert my mind from the regular argu-

debate. Thus far we have considered

Of value this far In eliminating the
doubt that has existed on these two
points in the minds Of the people-a
doubt that has been produc Il by mis-
representations made by those advoca-

the debate thus far settles these two
questions In favor OF the book VIC are
