Chicago, July 27.-The Horr-HarVey
debate was continued to-day before the
usual demonstrative audience. The
most essential points under discussion
are covered by the following steno-
graphic report:
Good Times After '73.
Mr.. Horr-Now, what occurred after
Che passage of the law of 1873? Those
occurrences have a direct bearing on
the question we are discussing. We re-
sumed specie payments in 1879, and, as
Mr.. Harvey himself stated, you cannot
get at the real changes OccasiOned by
the law until after we resumed specie
payment. BY that time the high prices
had fallen Off-that is, the nominal
prices because the measure in which
they had been valued had been adVanc-
ing all the while, not on account Of any
change in the value Of gold, but on ac-
count Of the paper money which we
were using as the measure constantly
appreciating In value until 1t finally
reached par with gold. At that time
prices as compared with 1860 were as
1869 to 100 and wages were as 141.5 to
100, showing that the wage earners
were receiving much better pay-near-
ly so per cent-than they received in
1860. But the purchasing power of
wages was 1928 instead of 100, while
the average amount had increased from
100 in 1860 to 141.5. Now, labor was
better paid and men enjoyed the nee
essaries and comforts Of life to an enOr-
mOusly greater degree, nOtwlthstand-
Ing silver had at that time declined
from 100 to 84.7. Thus It will appear
that In 1890 all wages had risen from
100 to 1889, and the purchasing power
Of wages had increased more than 72
per cent.
In 1870 the average of all prices was
1923; wages 1922 and the purchasing
power In greenbacks was 114.1.
In 1890 prices were 92.3, wages 1889,
and their purchasing power in gold
was 1871, showing that the wage earn
or FOR his days work got one and near
~ three-fourths as much of the things
he needed in 1890 as he could have got
In 1870.
Now what l ask you as l close my
6rst talk is this: Why did you select
your data from England and undertake
to base your argument upon English
prices when you could have found the
prices all tabulated and shown accu-
rately by a committee of your own
country, about articles which we are
using here in the United States?
Hard Times After '73.
Mr.. Harvey-The London price Of
wheat affects the price of our wheat on
the Chicago market. In the official book
we have been using here from Wash
lngton, entitled Coinage Laws, Appen-
dix and Statistics" there are three ia
hles. One Is the Sauerbeck table, one
the Sautbeer table, and the other the
Aldrich table. The Aldrich table is the
one he refers to as containing 249 arti-
cles. It was made by senate COM
Enittee Of which Senator Aldrich was
chairman. He called to his aid prin-
cipally gold assistants. Unlike Sauer-
beck, they were not free from a desire
20 make as good a showing as they pos
Bibly could for prices in the United
States. When 1t is known that Ed
ward Atkinson was one of the men who
assisted in making it (the report SO
etates) one can judge Of the bias that
chfora intO n.
The advocate., 1895-08-14


Is plethora in this country to-day
There are hundreds of millions Of dol
lars lying idle simply because there Is
nobody to use 1t. Did you know that?
Why, my friend Harvey and all of you
men who think that way, as usual, get
the cart before the horse. 1t is not an
abundance Of money that makes bus1-
ness active; 1t is business that makes
money active In this world Of ours.
And until you can comprehend that
point, Brother Harvey, you will never
understand this financial question at
all.
Bankers Not Scamps
Mr.. Harvey carries the idea that the
banks are constantly fleeing the people
and that they have their harvest when
the people are in distress. Why, there
never was greater fallacy taught to
the American people. Bankers never
make money when money Is scarce,
never make money In a panic, never
make great deal Of money when in
terest Is high Bankers make their
money when business is active, when
interest is low, when their deposits are
all the while increasing, when the peo-
pie have confidence and there Is some
thing to loan. He upbraided the banks
because they loaned part Of their de-
posits and made interest on them.
Why, a bank-the first great effect it
produces in community Is to set the
money to being used second time. The
great bulk of the money of this country
Is used that could not be used at all
under the old system or without banks.
Men would have to have it in their
drawers, in their pockets, in their tills,
have to keep it for emergencies. Now
they deposit it in the banks.
He seems to think the bank does
nothing but just gobble interest. The
banks pay interest to depositOrs in most
instances, in all savings bank instan-
ces, and they make the money Of de-
pOsitors earn an enormous sum, mil
lions upon millions each year, that they
would never get cent for but for the
banks investing it and paying them in
terest on these deposits. They can't
pay interest on deposits If they don't
get some interest themselves.
Consequences of Lateness.
Mr.. HarVey-At the conclusion of this
debate Mr.. Horr and I have $500 words
each at our disposal, to write at our
leisure, within seven days after the
debate, to sum up the debate, and any
thing in Mr.. HOrr's argument that do
not reply to to-day will attend to in
that summary, because there is only
short time left to us, and want to
answer some matters that have been
introduced into this debate at the ear
lier stages.
1want to speak few moments on the
proposition that wages have increased.
Laborers are Of two classes. One class
is the kind that produce something with
their labor, and depend on selling what
they produce to receive pay for their
labor. Under this class come all our
farmers. If one Of them produces with
his labor 100 bushels of wheat and gets
$50 for it, then $50 is the price Of his
labor. But If he sells the 100 bushels
of wheat for $1OO, then he has received
double the pay he did formerly. We
have seen how the farmer loses; also
those who must sell what they produce
to get pay for their labor. This has dis
couraged those vocations and men and
women have drifted to the cities. The
cities have proportionately outgrown
| the country in nonnlation. With the

TROUBLE AT
DAVIS RUN
Another Break Occurs in the
Reservoirs BreaStwOrk.
1T WILL BE INVESTIGATED
The Break is Not Large 0ne-ItS
Effect Cannot be Determined at
the Present Time.
T WILL BE INVESTIGATED

A new subject for discussion in connec'
tion with the public water works was
afforded yesterday by another break
occurring in the breastwork of the
reservoir at Davis Run. The news of the
break caused a sensation of some magni-
tude and considerable talk hinges on the
probable consequences.
The news of the break was brought To-
town by the engineer in charge of the
pumping station. He notified Edward F.
Gallagher, chairman of the water com
mittee, and that gentleman, in company
with Councilman Meluskey, at once drove
over to the reservoir.
They found that the break, as revealed
to view, was not, apparently, very
serious one ; but it will take an eXamina
tion by a civil engineer to determin-
what probable danger is attached to it
and what repairs are necessary to avoid
trouble in the future.
The break is between the wing wall and
the breastwork of the reservoir. 1t can
be seen on the inside of the breastwork,
about five feet from the top, and at the
bottom IF the breasJwork on the outside
AT the latter place rhe break is the
largest. 1t is about a foot wide at the
bottom and eighteen inches high, slopinp
to the wing wall
The cause of the break is a mystery at
present. There is supposition that some
water has made its way under the waste
way and the dividing wall.
The water poured out of the break until
it was lowered in the reservoir to depth
of about five feet, then the flow opped.
Tnts second break will probably lead to
additional complications between Con-
tractors Quinn & Kerns and the borough.
When the first break occurred a question
arose as to whether the contractors or the
borough should sustain the cost of max
ing the repairs. Quinn & Kerns claimed
they were not responsible, as the reservoir
was accepted as completed and satisfac
tory before the break occurred. This the
Borough Council denied, but it made the
repairs, and charged the expense against
the unlquidated account with the con
tractors As this question has not been
determined, the question as to who must
stand The expense of making the second
repair is necessarily an open one.
1t is quite likely special meeting of
the Borough Council will be called to take
steps for determining the full extent OF
the damage to the reservoir and make ar
rangements for the repairs.
Contractor NJ. P. Quinn and Mr.. Depew,
one of A. j. Womelsdor's engineering
corps, went to the reservoir this afternoon
to inspect the break. Mr. Quinn had no
opinion TO express, but intimated that the
break might be due to poor material used
in repairing the breastwork.
