English Election Returns Indi-

LONDON, July 1S.-Up to midnight
the returns from the parliamentary
election show the following results:
Conservatives, 200; Liberal Unionists,
81; total, 231. Liberals, Al; Parnell-

total 81.
The gains which the Unionists have
secured in the elections thus far insure
them a majority of 30 in the next
house, even if the rest Of the seats to
be voted on remain the same as
heretofore. The proportion of the
electors who went to the polls was
higher than on any former occasion.

That this fall in prices caused sacri-

The Debate Begins.
The debate proper began by Mr..
Horr asking his opponent if there was
ever any such school held as that de-
scribed in the book, "Coin's Financial
School" Mr.. Harvey replied that the
school was simply categorical, but
the characters used were actual. AT
this point the contestants discussed at
length the definition of money and the
monetary system of the United States
was gone into infinitely. Mr.. Harvey
claimed that the constitution Of the
United States declared that gold and
silver constituted the legal standard of
value and neither congress nor any
state has authority to establish any
other standard or dispose OF this.

In addition to the line of ferries, there

Error in Book.

Never Saw So Great Proportion of
Error In book.
Mr.. Horr opened with brief state
ment of his position. He said:
Judges and tGentlemen: 1t is agreed
between Mr.. Harvey and myself that
previous to entering upon the general
discussion, each of us shall make brief
statement defining in general way
the position he proposes to occupy III
this debate.
The question which we are about to
discuss is one that is not only receiving
very great attention among the people
OF the United States, but it is one that
Is also receiving some attention from
the nations Of the old world. The
question involves the kind of money
that shall be used by the people of the
United States and has to do with laws
which will affect the great business in
terests of this nation. The question OF
finance is very complicated one, and
there are some features of it about
which the ablest men of the world
have been differing for years.
Foundation Of tho Discussion.
The foundation Of the discussion
upon which we are about to enter is a
small book published by Mr.. Harvey,
my opponent, and entitled "Coin's
Financial School,"
The real aim and object Of that book
is to convince the people Of the United
States that this government should
alone enter upon the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver upon the old ratio Of
IL to |. The wisdom Of such course
dispute. Mr.. Harvey will still main
tain the affirmative Of that issue. l
will state in the outset that from the
beginning to the end Of the book there
Is hardly proposition made to which
give my assent. l propose to contro.
vert many things which are stated as
tacts, and shall attempt to prove that
the entire theory set forth by its author

would lead only to business disaster
and financial ruin. I do not remember
ever to have examined book carefully,
IN which found SO few statements
shat l consider worthy of belief, and
certainly never saw 30 many absolute
errors crammed into SO few pages.
Not Opposed to Bimstalism.

and silver as money to the fullest ex.
