value, but silver had deprecated much
more than gold. He then presented
statistics In substantiation Of the do
probation Of gold, showing the prices
for agriculture and the wages Of labor.
Mr.. Harvey said that by the legisla-
tion Of 1878 money has been enhanced
In exchange about double with prop
erty. THAT Is the crucial point In
this financial discussion" he said. "A
man loaning money in 1873 that 1000
bushels Of wheat would have paid,
you must now give him 1000 bushels
Of wheat to pay that debt"
Mr.. Horr, Now, want to call the
attention Of my friend to the fact that
he can't got at how farmers are doing
simply by selecting one article which
happens, to DO cheap"
Mr.. Harvey: II want TO ask you
right here, before these people. to an
swer my argument before sit down"
Mr.. Horr II am going to do IT, II
you will wait and keep still; that Is
what I am up here for now. The very
last thing Mr. Harvey said was in ref
erence TO the fact that farmer had TO
give twice as much wheat to pay his
debt as he did before the demonetiza-
ton Of silver. Now, was stating that
you can't possibly find out the facts in
reference to the farmer by taking one
article, and that the lowest one
you can find. Now. will call your
attention to confirmation Of the fig
ures which | have heretofore given
Those figures show that prices for
farm products all taken together
haven't declined. Here 10 the United
States comparing the present values to
those OF twenty years ago find my
confirmation in an analysis OF national
wealth by the great statistican, Mr..
Mulhall, so often quoted by Mr.. Har-
vcy.'

much OF the remainder Of the day, the
debate finally being adjourned, at Mr.
Horr's request, until Saturday, ut l

speaking Of tenancy, Mr.. Harvey
said: Twenty million acres Of land In
the United States to-day is owned BY
English titled nobility, and the Eng.
lish tenancy has to that extent been
already introduced into this country.
In the state Of Illinois there q .
county by the name Of Logan, that has
county seat by the name Lincoln,
and you can drive for miles through
that county on your way to that coun-
ty seat, and have on both sides Of you
Lord Scully's possessions, with Irish
matched cottages over the land"
Mr.. Horr: II have travelled extern
sively, very extensively, through thir.
ty-one states Of this union, and l never
yet saw single farm, nor had my st.
tsntion called to one, that was owned
by people living outside Of the United
States. There are some, but they are
few"
In closing the debate for the day Mr..
Harvey handed Mr.. Horr as souvenir
a silver dollar Of ITO, with tho word
unit" upon IT. Mr.. Harvey said'
Take It, Mr. Horr, Washington may
have carried it In bis pocket; Jefferson
may at one time have had II in his pos
session; It may have paid for tho paper
on which the declaration Of war
was written in 1879 against Great
Britain; 1t may have been fondled BY
jackson when writing his message to
congress against the national banka
1t is q fit souvenir for any American
proud Of his country and Of Its institu.
tions to carry in his pocket all the
days Of his life," passing the dollar TO
Mr.. Horr.
Mr.. Horr, smiling " shall keep
this dollar and put it to good use. l
intend to have hole bored through
It, and then will hang 1t around tho
neck Of my little grandchild, born
just as we commenced this
discussion. 1t will do Brother
Harvey good to learn that the people

Of the gold standard, marrying and

terday afternoon. The days attacks
were directed at the feasibility Of indie.
pendent action by the United States
on the reconciliation Of silver and Its
free and unlimited coinage at . ratio
Of 10 TO with gold regardless Of the
action Of other nations. Mr.. Harvey
argued flor such action, Mr.. Horr
against 1t.
The discussion was opened by Mr..
Horr with statement that the figures
Of prices Of corn, referred to by Mr..
Harvey on former day, showed that
the fluctuations for a series Of years
had been normal ones In view Of sup
ply and demand, and showed that ST.
yer legislation had nothing to do with
the matter.
Taking up the discussion, Mr. Harvey
presented a table showing the coinage
Of gold and silver from 1909 to 1878. He
did this to show that gold did not seek
the mints Of the first Fifty years Of the
nation, and that silver did not from
that time till 1870. Mr.. Harvey then
ouoted from his hook the total amount
Of gold and silver in the world for
coinage uses In view Of the fact that
the amount diverted from the coinage
for use in the arts had greatly in.
creased within the past ten years.
Mr.. Horr, coming down to the ques-
ton In hand declared 1t was useless
to try to fix the relative value Of any
two substances by legislation. Sup
pose congress should try to fix the rel
alive value Of bushel Of wheat and
bushel of oats As soon as one Of them
had a large crop, up would 20 the ratio,
and legislation by the nations of the
whole world would not maintain the
ratio any more than it would make
water run up hill. The law Of gravity
would stand in the way; it was SO in
the matter Of the ratio between silver
and gold. The law OF supply and de-
mand stepped in there and the history
of the world shows that it is impos-
sible to maintain fixed ratio between
the precious metals,
Continuing his line Of argument, Mr..
Harvey quoted estimates as to the con-
sumption of gold for moment in the
arts and otherwise, one for boarding,
to the effect that these uses equaled,
If they did not exceed the production,
so that the amount of that metal for
coinage was at a standstill, or decreas.
ing. Mr., Harvey then took up the ques-
ton as to what Is becoming Of the sill.
yer being produced at present He
first quoted statements by authorities
that the increase Of the use Of the met
ais in the arts had grown so large there
was always ridiculously small supply
in Europe, and there was a demand
for practically all Of the articles
the United States produced. Proceed.
Ing, Mr.. Harvey said that gold was
irrerularlv produced and was boarded
by the few rich. Silver, on the con-
trary, when more valuable than gold,
was boarded by the mass OF the people.

cago with the apathy and niggardli-
ness OF the government. Some time
ago congress appropriated S75, 900
for the erection at Rock Island of n
structure for 4 postoilice and other
public offices. but the amount is re-
garded as inadequate. About Sl5,-
900 of the sum has been expended for

preliminary expenses. leaving only
$50. 900 for the building itself. This.
Maj. Beardsley says. will put up no

large enough to accommodate all the
government Offices. Besides, it
would be disgrace to the govern
ment and the town. when placed

county building, which is to cost

purposes. Maj. Beardsley thinks.

In Moline the vote was so light

official returns can only determine
it. but it is estimated by the city

voting places, the aggregate would
be about $50.
