CHICAGO, July 26-No evidences OF fatigueor
lack of breath were apparent In either Of the
principals in the Horn Harvey debate when
time was called for the sixth round Tuesday.
Mr.. Harvey led with yindtcation Of
the Importance of the debate, which, he said.
rested upon five historical reasons:
!. For 200 years prior to the demonettza-
tfon of silver In 1873 silver was seeking the
mints Of the world for coinage Into money.
2 For 200 years prior to 1873 there was no
variation between the commercial and the
legal ratio of 1871 toll. During the twenty
two years since 1873. however. the two ratios
had separated widely, and gone from 15h to !
to about 81 to l.
& For s3s years prior to 1873, the quantity
rutio between silver and gold ranged from 81
OF silver to OF gold to OF silver to ] of gold.
but Notwithstanding this wide variation the
commercial ratio had chung tenaciously to the
legal ratio.
4. The price OF silver in the London market,
as measured in gold, up to 1873 was practical
ly steady, while since that date silver had de-
clned from 60 pence per ounce to % z pence
per ounce
s. That this violent fuctuation In the price
| of silver has been going on ever since Its de-
monetization and is going on to-day.
Mr.. Rorr did not reply directly to his OPP
ponent, but took up Mr.. Harvey's statement
| OF Monday that but one error had been found
| in his work. saying that there were myriads
| Of mistakes, not in express statement Of
facts, but by false implication which any
man OF sense would repudiate on sight
AT this point Mr. Borr created some

Harvey produced comparative abatement
that his argument would have been even more
forc1bly emphasized by the Aldrich report to
the United States senate. and further stated
tnat MS selection Hof Sauerbeok's figures
Was Daseo upon his belief and the generals
y accepted opinion that they were mors
authoritative. - - 49,
Mr. Horr accused his Opponent Of being
tricky In quoting one sentence from the article
which he had written for the New York Trlb-
nne, and assuming that it showed the gist Of
the whole article. What he said in reference
70 the mans theories being ridiculous did not
relate to his measure OF value at all 1t was
MS attempt to substitute paper dollar based
on nothing with which to do the business OF
the country.
Saturdays debate was full OF byplay, and
there was no little wit and sharp retort that
kept the audience in excellent humor In nut
shell the arguments OF Saturday were along
these lines: s
Claimed by Mr.. Harvey-That panics are
due to our system OF bank credits; that sup
ply and demand not cost OF productions
NIX prices; that the relative value Of the
dollar now is greater than in 1865: that there
Is constant increase in Debtors In tenants
In homicides, insanity suicide and crime;
that, In short. the logical outcome Of the ten
deney of present events must be the sub
stltut1on Of monarchy for the present res
public.
Claimed by Mr. Horr-That the volume OF
currency in circulation Is not closely related
to the volume Of busness;s that there is no
such thing as an unlimited demand for any
thing In the world, not even Of money: that
there are other uses for money than as
medium OF paying debts; that the panic
OF 1893 was caused by fear that this country
might return to q silver basis: that the bust
ness of the country does not depend upon the
per capita OF tho circulating medium that the
debt of the country Is decreasing: that eleven
items in Mr.. Harvey's table Of debts are mil
lions OF dollars wrong in the aggregate and
wholly misleading.
At the close of The days session Mr.. Harvey
presented Mr. Horr with silver dollar OF
1870, as souvenir Of the debate. In the
early days Of the debate said Mr.. Harvey,
you claimed the silver dollar was never
the sole unit or standard OF value.
hereby present you with silver dollar
coined In 1899, upon the rim of which in place
OF the customary milling, Is stamped by the
government. these words: One dollar or unit,
hundred cents Mr.. Horr accepted the dol
lar. and announced no would have hole

Napoleon's Booty In One Campaig1.
The season was al busy ON the mil.
itary as it had been on the political
side. Day and night tho soldiers in
the conquered Venetian lands wrought
with ceaseless labor until the whole
territory was in perfect order as base
Of military operations Not single
strategic point there or elsewhere was
overlooked. Even the little island Of
st. Peter in the Mediterranean was
taken from Piedmont and garrisoned
with 200 men. It was generally under
stood that war might break out at any
moment. Every contribution under
treaty obligations was exacted to tho
utmost farthing. AS a single illustration
Of the French dealing, jewels and gems

was but moity of what he had raised.
During this summer, on the contrary,
he kept everything; even the =, 0O0, 900

second week OF July, and clearing house

new business is small compared with
recent months. but large enough to encour-
age more opening OF lOng-cloSed works, and
more advances in returns to labor. Impor-

weight enough this year to lead even the most
experienced to reduce somewhat their esti-

gold shipments, nor by the large excess Of
treasury expenditures, amounting to about

July than in most other months. but expenses
