scientific spoiiation OF their rights. Cap
plause.) To make plain how the fraud
was practiced I copy into my remarks
sections 10 and 10 of the bill as II is
supposed to have been read when on
its passage, together with the words
fraudulently omitted in brackets. Omit
the words in brackets and you have
these sections as they now read in the
statutes; include the worCs in brackets
and you have the sections as the bill
was supposed TO have passed congress
Mr.. Eorr-Where is that from? !
don't understand.
Mr. Harvey take the two sections
as they now appear in the statutes
and I add, between brackets. the words
that were erased from the bill
Mr.. Horny whom?
Mr.. Harvey (continuing)-Surrep
uously in its passage.
Mr.. Horny whom? What proof
have you that anything was erased?
GOING ABROAD.
3Ir. Harvey-Fn get 10 the proof Of
that little later. The standard sill
yer dollar was fraudulently omitted
after the bill had passed both houses.
(Applause.) II will be questioned by
our best citizens that such a fraud
could be practices, and the hesitancy
with which they accept its truth at
tests the integrity OF our citizenship
Before Offering my proof. and 1 prom
ise you il shall be conclusive, I wish
to speak OF official crimes
1Ir. Harvey quoted Judge Kelley,
chairman of the committee reporting

not using coin. and that neither house
appreciated the scope and magnitude
OF the bill or gave it special study,
particularly as it was a bill to re-
organize the minis. not TO revise the
coin money OF the country. Contin-
uing, Mr. Harvey said: Secretary OF
War BelkRap committed a crime and
confessed il. as have many others in
high official life. and II is believed he
cause It is confessed. The percentage
Of those who confess TO those who are
otherwise found guilty and punished,
is probably not TO exceed per cent,
and only a small proportion OF those
corrupted are ever arraigned. A few
years ago, and within our own recol-
lection, four prominent members of
the national legislature of France
were found guilty and sentenced to
punishment for accepting brides to
control their votes in connection with
the construction OF the Panama canal.
No people are naturally more tenacious
Of their liberties than the Irish. yet
through the efforts of the unscrupu-
lous diplomat, Lord Castlereagh, Eng
lish gold, supplemented by royalty's
! gifts of titles, purchased the dissolu-
ton Of the Irish parliament Since
then home rule in Ireland has been
prevented by the influence of the arts
tocracy of England 'sidetracking' the
! issue OF home rule. As long as the
dominant power can prevent it. like
this financial question, from coming
70 a political issue. either by deceiving
the people with party platforms or by
preventing an issue from being made
up, they can continue TO accomplish
the work already begun. H6me rule
( in Ireland is in that condition. The
Chicago Post OF yesterday, gold
standard paper, says: For all poIit-
! zeal purposes the free silver dogma is
as dead in the United States today as
the home rule doctrine in England.
Both are out Of the range of practical
politics. Such insidious statements
as that. telling them il is not an issue
IN other words, that they cannot get
an opportunity TO vote for that which
they have a right 10 vote for-is their
method of suppressing popular Iib.-
erty.
A LIE ON HUMANITY.
Mr.. Horr-AIr. Harvey still continues
| 10 rest his case upon an attempt 10
prove that the human family is made
up OF scoundrels; that there is no such
thing as honor among the people of
this or any other country. The in
famous statement that every man has
his price ought to be branded upon
the brow of every man who will quote
! Il in earnest, because il is a lie against
humanity Nong continued applause.
Ii is equaled only by the other state
ment that there is no such thing as
virtue among the women of the United
States or any other country.
Mr.. Harvey don't make that state
| ment.
Mr.. Horr-That was motto that
nobody but villain like Aaron Burr.
ever could have originated. and I am
surprised that in the nineteenth cen
rury a man will stand up before an
American audience and base his case
upon the proposition that the people
Of our grand republic are mostly vii
lains, because say 10 you in all can
dor the members OF congress are fully
up in honesty and dscency to the aver
age OF the American people. I know
It, because I have been one myself
you know. Gaughter). But what has
all that 10 do with whether this bill
was properly presented and discussed?
1 am familiar with what Mr.. Kelley
said afterwards, but I am now going
70 read TO you what he said when this
. bill was up in the house on the report
of Mr.. Hooper. It is not a speech that
was printed by leave This took
place on the floor of the house: ct
is impossible TO retain the double
standard The value of gold and silver
continually fuctuates; you cannot de-
termine this year what will be the
relative value of gold and silver next

short time ago; they are sixteen TO one

that you must have one standard coin
which shall be a legal tender for all
others
THE DECENTRALIZATION ACT.
Mr.. Horn then took up the history
/ of the characterization act and pro-
i ceeded TO show the stages through
/ which IL had passed, and that its final
+ enactment was not until after 1t had
/ been before congress for more than
three years. Mr.. Harvey then again
returned TO the attack upon the hon
esty of legislators throughout the
country, including members Of the Col
orado and Illinois legislatures. This
venality was 'sapping the foundations
OF the government as il had Slapped the
: foundations and destroyed every re-
public of the past. Mr. Horn once
more returned TO the defense OF the
honesty of the American people. He
said Mr.. Harvey merely picked out a
few corrupt men and drew from them
! the proposition that the people Of the
nation were corrupt Why. If Mr..
Harvey had lived in Jobs time, he
would have looked over that unfortun4
! ate mans sores and would have given
