! Horr again returned to the defense of
the honesty of the American people. He
said that Harvey merely picked out few
corrupt men and drew from them the
proposition that the people of the nation
were all corrupt. If Harvey had lived in
Jobs time, he would have looked over
that unfortunate mans sores, and gone
out and published throughout the world
that all Chaldea was one immense car
buncle. Horr then, amid laughter, said
that he would return to the question
under discussion and proceeded with the
history of the demonetization act, point
ing out how the bill had been read in full
several times and printed separately
eleven times and twice in the reports of
the comptroller of the currency. The de-
bates on the bill IN the senate occupied
sisty-six columns of the Congressional
Record. In the report of the committee
it was stated that it had been examined
line by line and word by word and finally
passed. He would show that in so doing
the senate knew what it was about.
HoRR's STATEMENTS DISPUTED.
Harvey in reply said that Horr would
have to divert from his position when the
proper time came. In point of fact the
bill about which he had been talking was
not the bill finally passed. Judge Kelly,
in presenting the bill in the house sail it
was inere.ya codification of the laws. sIn
response to question, Judge Kelly re-
piled that the bill made no change in the
value of the coins of the nation. InlS72,
when the bill came up, it was spoken of
as bill on a dry subject and members
lost interest. It was at that time, as ap-
pears from the record, that the first dis
closure of the intention to change the
standard to gold was made in a speech by
Hooper. But there was no reason to be-
lieve that the speech was actually deiv-
cred, but merely printed, or rather it was
read from manuscript and these words
we're omitted. But no reference was made
to the demonstration of silver. On the
enrolment of the bill the clause WAS
omitted which had the effect to limit the
coinage of silver.
HARVEY CHARGED WITH MIsQUoT1NG.
Horr, replying, charged that Harvey
misquoted single sentence, modifying
the context. The record showed that the
statement made in the running debate
was not under leave to print. In every
speech referred to by Harvey, the speaker
said that the bill provided for a standard
sin single METAL" instead of as before
in two metals, and that all coins, except
subsidiary coins, should be gold. Horr
spoke of the demonstration of silver by
England in 1915 as the result of expert
ence in the use of a double standard. In
1871 Germany adopted the gold standard
and threw out of the market $3O0,O00O0O
of silver.
1t was this that set the world to con-
sidering the silver question, not any gold
bug conspiracy. The financial policy of
no great nation was ever dominated by
a conspiracy.
This closed the debate for the day ex-
cept the answering of questions by the
disputants propounded by members of
the audience.
SILVER DEMOCRATS IN GEORGIA.
Griffin, Ga.-A free silver Democratic
convention is being held here today.
Senator Morgan made speech scoring
Cleveland and Carlisle, which excited
great enthusiasm. He said he came to
the convention as Democrat to ad
vocate principles as old and sound os their
great party itself
