the value of all property? Why not
go back to the standard of RameseS,
4 to 1? The whole theory was falla-
cious. The coin must be intrinsically
worth its face.
Not With weights.
Mr.. Harvey said that money could
not be classed with weights and mea-
sures. The bimetallist relied on two
metals and under that standard it was
more stable than a single standard.
! AS the pendulum of the clock was
made of two metals to counterfeit each
other, the standard of money should
! be double, each acting on the other
and preventing fluctuations. Free
/ Coinage in the United States would es-
tablish a parity and then gold would
be found here. The men abroad who
had no silver would have gold If the
United States would take its stand it
would prove itself stronger than Great
Britain. France had promised to stand
by us, Mexico and South America
would be with US; combined, they
would force Europe to recognize silver.
Referring to Mr.. Horr's reference to
the pensioners, Mr.. Harvey declared
that appeal to the old soldiers would
not affect them They were patriots
and they would think only of the want
and the suffering of the people of the
nation and would be forgetful of them
selves.
Has Had Its Day.
Mr. Horr said that silver had it's day
as the money for final redemption. 1t
would continue, however, to be used
as subsidiary money. Gold was the
standard of the world, and had come
to stay.
Mr.. Horr then, turning to Mr. Har-
Vey, said he wanted to reciprocate the
courtesy of Mr.. Harvey in presenting
him (AIr. Horn with a silver dollar.
Mr. Horn said he proposed to present
Mr.. Harvey two coins of two different
metals, because Mr.. Harvey vas a BIZ
metallist. Mr.. Horr then handed over
two Chinese coins, one of silver, worth
20 cents and one of copper, worth l
mill, and proceeded to say that the
nation which struck these coins had a
silver standard. Its laborers were paid
81 per month; the people did not ride
in carriages; its civilization had gone
to sleep. The silver coin presented him
by Mr.. Harvey was struck by a pro-
gressive nation. 1t did very we'll then.
commerce had since demanded a
change in the Sbandard-that standard
should be gold.
Mr.. Horn closed by thanking Mr.
Harvey for the uniformly courteous
treatment which he had received from
his opponent during the discussion.
4 Sacred Metal.
Mr. Harvey, rising for his closing
address, said he accepted the present
from Mr.. Horr of the Chinese coins
He objected, however. to the refer
ences of Mr.. Horn to the silver coins
The United States was the chief pro-
Queer of silver until 1873. Tt was the
most sacred metal of our coinage; it
was the measure of all values. In 1875
ut was struck down, as Caesar was
by the dagger of an assassin. The gold
standard men had set up a standard
founded on crime as a standard for
the morals of the nation. The metal
in the coin given him by Mr. Horn
SymboHzed purity, virtue and honesty
Taking up the closing argument, Mr.
Harvey said he wanted to encourage
the respondent; to say to the man who
contemplated suicide in his hopeless
ness to forego the deed. Relief was at
hand, and his prosperity would again
come to him and the nation. He de-
clared that with the growth of the
money power came an increase of
salaries and corruption. 1t was the
same in all the opulent nations. In
1873, 1900 bushels of wheat would
have paid the salary of the president
$4,000; today it would take $4,000 BUSH
els of wheat to pay President CleVe-
lands salary of $4,000. Mr. Harvey
then proceeded to denounce the presi-
dents foreign and financial policy, and
declared that the friends of silver were
fighting the battle of Uhe people of the
world over. On their success depended
the liberties of the masses. Oppres-
sion had driven the hberty-loving into
their last stronghold. There was moth
ing beyond except the islands of the
Pacific He declared that a second
declaration of independence in the
Tilted States was needed and proceed
ed to recount the story of the signing
of the declaration OF independence in
Philadelphia and the ringing of the
bell by the old watchnan, with much
dramatic effect.
The answering of questions was the
final act in the controversy. 1t should
be said that the attendance at the SEES
sion of the discussion was by card
only and was limited to the capacity
OF the hall, which was about 200 This
space was generally fully occupied.
