HORRIBLE HORR AGAIN.
His MOntevideO Speech Riddled and
Torn to Pieces-A Plain Man Let's

Torn to Pieces-A Plain Man Lets
the Light Through the Old Fraud.
Editor Representative:
Scarcely have the noble principles, the
burning truths GODS teachings), enunci-
ated by Mary Ellen Lease ceased to echo
through our Opera House, when we are
called to listen to another public speaker In
opposition to her teachings. That traitor
to American independence, agent of the
Rothschilds. hireli,lg of the money powers,
slave to greed and avarice, worshiper of
the golden calf-Roswen G. Horr on the
9Th inst. hurled from the rostrum of our
Opera House. into the faces of the Ameri-
can people, a multitude Of lies-yes lies.
I need not employ euphemism, and call
them falsehoods. fallacies, misstatements,
ETC., for plain English is better understood
than elaboration Of speech. When we mean
shadows we do not saw adumbrations, or
call light the solar spectrum. save to avoid
a paucity of words; neither need we call
black, soulless lies by any other name
when that is SO expressive.
Mr.. Horn began his speech by an hours
talk on the tariff. trusting thus to divert
the attention of the people from their real
enemies; but we have learned that our
only enemies are not across the waters,
but are sitting in the high places in our
lend and roaming through the sanctuaries
of our independence, backing the records
of our country by a heinous legislation
which has not a parallel in the history of
crimes.
After his long talk on the tariff he gave
us the early history Of our dollar, its orr
gin, etc.; but the American people at the
present time are not nearly SO anxious to
learn what gave US our dollar as they are
to learn what Is taking our dollar away
from us, and he vouchsafed us no light on
that subject.
He told us, as oh, SO many have done be-
fore, that If we had free coinage of silver
all our gold would go abroad. but when
we remember that our supply of gold is
nowise adequate for us to do business with,
and that for sometime we have been bor-
rowing the yellow metal from other coun-
tries to meet our gold obligations, we feel
as II we ought to hang to something more
tangible, and not be so fearful of losing
what we haven't got.
He, also, told us that silver was never
,demonetized and perhaps some believe him;
he said we common people" had no debts
which had run longer than five years, and
as no change had been made in our money
since the debts were contracted, we should
not seek to make a. change now. lest we
be regulators, and as all debts outstand-
ing for longer period than five years
were owned by corporations who could
well afford to pay them. we might rest
easily and feel ourselves blessed. But
wondered what Of the national debt and
who was to pay it,!
Somehow we common people" feel anx-
tous for the corporations to liQuidate this
IS soon as possible under the new discovery
that We owe no debt of more than five
years standing.
l fear Mr.. Horr forgot all about this
debt, and the refunding of 1t, toO-that
nefarious act of July IA, 1870, which has
cost the American laborersA millions of
dollars for interest on the debt alone, when
we might have paid the entire principal
long ago had we not chosen to build up
aristocracies and moneyed monarchies from
the toll. the tears, the groans, and sweat
OF our great common people.
But he said nothing Of this, nor Of the
various internal schemes to reduce free
people to the depths Of wase-slavery which
mark the years from 1862 to 1875 as the
blacklist In the history Of atrocities-those

Mr. Horr seemed highly amused when
ever he spoke of 'the crime of 49," the
magnitude of which has never yet really
been fathomed, and it seemed in keeping
with q character that would espouse the
cause of those whose diabolisms are result
ing in the overthrow of the American re-
public to ridicule the distress Of the people,

sumo so much upon the ignorance of the
people. for his sophims were insult to
