Gold and Silver Cubits.
Mr.. Harvey-I wish I had time In this
debate to characterize the last speech
Of Mr.. HOrP as It deserves, but / can
only stop now to say that when I said
all the gold and silver in the world
available for money could be put into
three rooms in this building I knew
1t would make Mr.. Horr vince. The
statement that all the gold In
the world available for money
can be put in the space Of
tWenty-four feet is one Of the argu-
ments that worries him the most. 1t
It an object lesson, and II Mr.. Horr
were on our side Of this case, with his
inimitable wit and sarcasm, he would
90 around with picture, a twenty-five
foot block Of canvass, and he would
have 1t on every stage where he spoke
and he would rldicule the gold gam
blers of the world until he would satisfy
his audience that the man who would
advocate that that twenty-five foot block
should supply the people Of the world
with primary money had a soul In him
no larger than a mustard seed. ZAP
plause.) There Is great con-
Germ among some of our citizens that
If free coinage Of silver is adopted those
holding gold obligations will be paid
in silver, also that gold will leave us,
and debtor who owes gold will not
be able to get 1t without paying high
premium in order to discharge his debt.
Both Of these questions can be answered
together.
Meeting OF Values.
Gold obligations should be paid
in gold aud not in silver. To
secure the gold with which to do this
would not be so difficult as 1t is now.
It would operate this way: AS soon as
the United States opens its mlnts and
confers on silver the full functions of
money, with the right to no one there
after to make a debt payable in gold
(for under the blmetalllc law there
would be no such right, the demand
for gold would be withdrawn except to
pay previous debts thus payable. When
you withdraw the demand in such
pronounced way from an article 1t
must decline in value. (Applause.)
With the demand thus suddenly thrown
on silver to supply the United States
with money its value would rapidly
advance. (Applause.) You have sud
denly transferred the demand from one
metal to the other. One must neces-
sarily decline and the other advance
relatively. Hence, you could buy the
gold cheaper then than now. ZAP

the stump on that subject that I would
rattle things up wonderfully by carry

vsy, but ! couldn't refer to a principle
and picture Of that kind without
Stultifying myself. A man who had
az much brains as a chiDmunh would

Mr. Harvey-But we would not con-

HOrr RidlCules Idea.
Mr. Horr-We don't make money out
Of 1t. No; but I wouldn't consider the
proposition reasonable TO go about
claiming that 1t had anything to do
with the value Of a metal or that you
could base any calculation in reference
to value on 1t. 1t is so ridiculous. But
/ must proceed.
The next witnesses 1 want to call up
are those in domestic and personal SER
vice, the hired girls of the United
States, the men who sweep the streets,
the men who do the personal duties
for people in this great country Of ours.
There are 4,S6O,5O6. They are all Of
them paid wages They all Of them
depend upon what they receive each
day to find out how we'll they are going
to live the next day. Is there an idiot
anywhere on the face of the earth who
thinks these men and women would
be benefited by giving them less for
their days work of the things they
need-for that is what he proposes to
do. Take a vote and see where you
will come out among that class OF
wage-earners. Ask them, do you want
the dollar cheaper than 1t Is now?
Do you want to go down town
to get supply for your family and re-
ceive only about half what you get
now? Do you think they would bO
long in voting on the question? That
is what he proposes to do do. That is
4,S60,506 that will be added to the per-
sons that that kind Of legislation will
bring ruin upon. That Is the reason
why protest against 1t. Now I come
to the list Of those manufacturing and
mechanical industries. All fac
tory hands, all skilled laborers
in the United States. Have
you any idea how many there
are? Five million ninety-One thou
sand six hundred and sixty-nlne. Go
round among them; ask them, do you
want the measure of value reduced3
Do you want every dollar you earn cut
in two? Do you want people to hold
up to you that you are getting wages
so and so, and then give you half that,
instead Of the wages you have earned?
Do you think they would be long in de.
Gliding this question? You want to
take from them what they can earn
with their labor. They will all Of them

It will be seen that the world pro-
duced more gold in the year 1853 than It
has in any year since then. With In
creasing population and increasing de-
mand for gold there has been no in
crease in the annual supply since 1853.
If we go back to 1849 (see the table
heretofore introduced), the irregularity
Is more marked.
Combined Production.
The production of the two metals
combined is more regular than either
separately, and Is safer to rely on for
a stable money measurement of values
than either could be separately.
Where two metals are relied on for
money, with the right of the debtor
to pay in either, If the demand for
money is sufficient, this demand regu-
lates the commercial value of the two
metals at the ratio fixed by law. Sup
ply and demand affect the value of
these metals the same as all other
property.
When the law bestows the full func-
tiOn Of money upon these metals, it
creates a use for them that they did not
before have. (Applause) A new use
% an article adds to it's value. The
new use of corn for making glucose,
candy and molasses has increased its
value. The extent to which corn can
be supplied is virtually unlimited, and
with other farm productions unprOfita-
bic, the corn crop will increase and
the price will drop.
In the case Of the two metals we are
considering, they differ from corn In
this: The use Of these metals for
money, when given full money func-
tions, is comparatively unlimited. The
supply, unlike corn, is limited. Their
geological formation, and the expert
ence of mankind In their search for
and development prove this. The alb
normal demand for money in all ages,
now at tension; the fact that tens Of
thousands Of men are continually
searching for the metal from which 1t
Is made, and the further fact that all
that is now in existence outside Of use
full articles and ornaments can, II
melted down, be put into three rooms
OF this building, prove concluslVely
that the supply is limited.
We can, therefore, better understand
the effect to be produced by the United
States throwing open It's mlnts to silver
and comforting upon that metal the full
functions Of money when shall reach
1t directly.
