CHICAGO. ILL, July fs.-To-day's
Harvey-Horr debate was marked by con-
siderable acrimony on the part Of both
speakers.
In the beginning Mr.. Horr said he had
a personal explanation TO make. lie
quoted the following paragraph from bis
opponents argument OF yesterday: These
principles are for the selfish interests Of
money-lenders. and Mr. Horr is here ad-
vocating them" Mr.. Horr said he took
this as a reflection on his character. He
continued:
II am not a money-lender have no
interest In any bank or other Institution
OF like character. l was raised on a farm,
and my first work was done for 81 a
month. l used to dig bitches Cor

scoundrel because he saves more than he
spends. l even so 80 far as 10 say man
can be a director OF a national bank and
still maintain his integrity"
Mr.. Harvey explained that when he
said Mr.. Horr advocated the principles OF
the money-lenders he did not mean to
say Mr.. Horr himself was a money-lend-

THE HORNY-HANDED TOILER.
This question will not be settled by
any man parading himself as a horny
handed son OF toll" continued the free
silver advocate. 1T lies deeper than that.
Perhaps Mr.. Horr was at one time
laboring man. but SO were many persons
who are now selfish bank presidents"
Mr.. Harvey then plunged knee-deep
Into discussion OF the act Of 1873 which
demonetized silver. but was shortly In
terrupted by the hell OF the timekeeper.
Before following up this line OF argu-
ment Mr.. Horr INDUCED In a little sar-
casm at his advcrsary's expense. with
considerable merriment Mr.. Harvey has
told you he said. that said Il made
my head ache sometimes TO study finan-
cial questions. II would not make any
mans head ache 20 write such super
| financial stuff as IS conteined In this
book" Here Mr. Horr fourished a copy
OF COINS Financial School"
After this he took up the history OF tho
passage OF the act Of 1873 lie deiied the
champion OF the white metal TO produce
any proof that England had any hand In
the act OF 1913.
In reply 20 this Mr. Harvey said Del
mar the English historian, deemed IL a
matter worthy OF record that the English
bill OF 1875 demonetizlng silver was for
two weeks In the hands OF Mr.. Knox.
the Secretary Of the Treasury. This state
ment was followed by a deunciation OF

OF the United States can bee characterized

man who starts In TO DO this had better
never have started at all"
The discussion Of the act OF 1873 was
continued until l o'clock. when, nj the
request OF Mr. Horr. the debate was
adjourned to 1 o'clock Saturday next.
