Mr.. Horr-" desire to say in my clos

shall attempt to show the people of this
country that banks are just as great a
blessing to the world, and as necessary a

Before can say anything else want
to call attention to the question, Brother
Harvey, you asked me because you might
think sighted you If paid no attention
to it. l will read it again SO we will UNI

in harmony with his theory ask YER

PRODUCTION OF SILVER.
:" The table on production of silver for
the world shows the worlds production in
1860 to have been $4o.SO0,0o0, and that the
production increased each year till in
1872, II years later, when it was SIS, ESQ, 900.
Here was an increase Of "a per cent in 1913
years. Now, if you are right, why did
not. this increase break down the price
of silver? And before you answer l call
your attention to the IL years. 1872 to 1874,
where the increase is IS per cent, l per
cent less than the previous II years, dur
ing which time the price of silver had
fallen II per cent
Now. he wants me to answer that
question. Here it is: The reason why
silver did not fall more between 1860 and
1872 was because of the enormous demand
for 1t in the orient. Mulhall page 309)
gives the imports to India alone from
1860 to 1870 at $500, 900, 900, while from 1870
to 1880 she took only $3.50, 100000. The en-
tire production of silver from 1860 to 1870
was $500, 100000 and was utterly absorbed
by India alone, while the production
from 1870 to 1880 was $685., O000 900 more
than India absorbed. The difficulty is
that silver, like everything else, is af-
fected in it's price by the demand for its
use.
ut may have been affected by the fact
that people have ceased to hoard it as in
days gone by. Their are a dozen reasons
why the people, not wanting thing
don't take it, that's all. 1t is not because
there is less silver used as money because
there is an enormously increased amount
used as money. 1 will not stop now to
show the exact figures, but the increase
as I remember it, since 1873, of silver that
has been absorbed into use as money is
something like $1,000, 100000. so when a
man says that silver is demonetized by
any nation on the face of the earth-un-
less he gives the definition to demone>
TIED it is not in the dictionary-states
thing that is not true. Silver was re-
fused free coinage, and consequently
ceased to be the measure of value in all
the civilized nations Of the world but the
demand for silver as money was not de-
creased by that legislation, and Mr.. Har-
vey will not claim that"
Mr.. Harvey-I do.
Mr.. Horr-Well, then, you claim it in
the face of the facts of history. We have
coined since the demonstration act of
1873 over 600,000,000, if my memory
serves me right, in this country, or have
it in the form of bullion in the treasury
which we have taken from the markets
of the world and paid for in cash. There
is no doubt about it. Now I submit to

farm products Of the country have not

He says in one minute am claiming that
productions are high and in the next that
they are low. Well, don't know that I
can make him understand. but 1 think
the majority of this audience will I'M
derstand it.. I believe you cheered with
him so vociferously, who were so mar
velously pleased when he mentioned in
his last speech that we had 'sweat-shops'
in this country. Gaughter) You didn't
find any place to cheer Harvey when he
stated that there was a pure, upright
society of gentlemen and located them
in London. Haughter) I haven't had
anything do me so much good since this
debate began as to hear Harvey say that
there is set of honest. unselfish, upright
people in the world and then locate them
in England, country which the boy
Coin wants us to go to war with regard
less of consequences. That is the most
marvelously pure set of men ever dis
covered on the face of the earth, am
glad you found them. Harvey; it does
me good to have purity and excellence
discovered anywhere on the face of the
earth.
MR.. HORR CALLS FOR CHEERS.

pure society, he gave the figures of prices
in England. prices ranging in a country
where nobody claims, who knows any,
thing about it, that the laboring men
have the comforts of life that thew have
here in the United States. Before I fin

the United States a better distribution

any people to be found anywhere under

side of the house,. Why don't you cheer
over on this side? applause on both
sides, and long continued3 Now you are
really glad, amt you, that there is some
comfort left for the people in the United
States?"
Mr.. Harvey-Mr. Horn calls my at
tention to the fact that have located
some pure men in England. want to
say to you people in America that there
are pure people in England in France. in
hopes of liberty and civilization are not
what yours are. (Applause) We are to-
day fighting the battle of liberty in this
country, and that society that 1 men
toned in London is cheering us on with
words Of good will. (Applause.) A hui

AS TO RICH MEN.
Human nature there as here is to pam
