t.oii.s .Mr. Harvey arguing tor smli ac
tion and .Mr. Horr against it
The ilisoussiotii was opened liy Mr. llorr
with a sta.tciiicnt that the figures for tihe
prices of corn which were referred to by
.Mr. Harvey on a former day showed
that the fluctuations for a series ol years
had 1m c.ii nomiii'l ones in view of supply
amd .h-mand and whmvcl that siht: legis-
lation had nwthin;; to do with .tin matter.
The fact wait it was imposisiblo to nhow
tha.t tihe silver legislation had affected
the juices f agricultural products.
Replying Mr. Harvey said 'that he had
taken the figures tin published and at-
tributed to .Mr. Wright.
Taking up the regular discussion Mr.
Harvey presented a -table slhoiwing the
coinage of gold and silver from 1702 t'o
I.HT.'i. Jle 'did tluis to show that g'.ld
did not seek the mints for 1 1ll' first 50
years of the nation and that silver did
not from that linn- to INT.'t.
.Mr. 1oit declared tihal it wan useless
o try t- fix il'he relative value of any
two substance iby legislation. Suppose
congress should try to fix .Ims relative
value of a bushel of Wheal and n bushel
of oats. As soon as one of tiliwu had a
law .Tup up would go 'the ratio amd
J.ho ai't.iou liy the nalions of the world
would iiii it. maintain 'the ratio any more
than it would make water 'run up hill.
The law of gravity would stand. It
wnw so .in ithe matter of the ratio between
silver nml gold ii.ixl Hhe law of supply and
di-miand -slopped in 'there and the history
of the world's legislation shows it was
iiniiossilile to iiialii'taiui .a fixed ni'io bo-
tween the precious mctails.
Mr. Harvey said when he reached 'the
insirter contained in Mr. 1 lore's last talk
he tlio-iight II ills (Harvey's) answer would
he satistiKioTy. Continuing his Him of
argutiieii.t Mr. Harvey quoted estimates
as to the eoiisMunptioi) of gold ill tlie urt-
and ottlieinvise also of hoardiing to t'he
effect 1 hat. tlntse uses equalled .ill' they did
not exceed the production so that the
'iiiinount of metal for coinage was at il
standstill nr decreasing.
Mr. Harvey then timk up the question
as to what is beooiniiiig oif 'the silver
being produced lit present. He first
Hunted stateinen'ls showing that the met-
1 i.-t us. it in arts n.a.i .jfiMrwn so wiTfte inax
tliere was always a .r.idicuiloiisly siniifl
Mipply hi Europe amd liliere was n de-
mand for pra.ctieall'y all of the output
l) i world.
1'roceeilin Mr. Harvey said that cold
ivas irregularly produced and was hoa riled
hy ilhe rich. Silver on llw contrary
was inure voiualile than pild and was
JiiHinled by the jnasis of the pmple tlKiri'lty
cmiiifcrriiitf a eneral lienvlit. It was
for thks reason isHver had lieen a morn

i.Mr. Horr said Mr. Harvey had the
uufortuiiute h.alt. of compariii)' .Miiniii
iwihich had no relatlmi tihat was what
was the jiiat'tiT with his arKU'inetit on jrold

dtesuniiinj; ihis arvtiiiiient and refiirrin
to Mr. Harvey's statement 'that the re-
moinetizaltioii of siilv'r would reduce dehts
hy oninlialf Mr. llorr .said that by fur
the lari;ist mIiiiiv of tlie debts in the
United :Stales weee less than one your
mid. The 4lelts of .hirge corporations
were tihe loiri time debts. Tihe wluirt
time debts were contracted under the
Kld stanilard and to reduce them one-
.Iwulf WMHild lie t lose that one-hail'. Mr.
n.'irvey's rroisitiiin would simply re-
suit in silver inono'iiietiillii.siii. It ihad
Ihmmi tli'iiitfht that it was imjxissiblo -to

Mr. llorr thru jusicceded hi enumerate

Mr. Harvey iretuniH'd to hi culto mrsu-

world i'li tluMi" vaults. Who hvjw at .('hit
lilpl the va'riiN in IS"!!? Who was it
that established a robber cdandard?
Itcsuniinjr his arcunient Mr. Harvey
sni'd that the cld advocates said that
debts cuiitractisl would 1h paid in silver
jin.l n.he In. I u who liid slipula.tevl to ).iy
sroM would have to buy it at a premium.
This wan fallacious because if silver w.as
renionetized .no nia.n con'd stipulate for
payment in potl. The demand for ftU
would decrease; at the aiiie itinie tho tle-
mnml for silver Would be inereasivl. lie
declared it was not the stamp on the coin
which cave it value 'but the makiiic 'f a

Mr. llorr. resimiinc. reiterated the

Mr. Harvey assorted 'tliat the demands

And the .money in the pock-el's of every
man ami woman in tlie i niteu Mates

for the lienclit of 2I(Hf(I silver men.
'.hi.e their output was not worth half
is much as the eccs Kaid yearly by the
he;i.s of the Uniitcsl States ami was about

worst feature he .nssjertoil. was tlie ilc-

i lion t the worst paiiiic the nation ever
witnessed. 'I'll paralysis of business
would be complete for !S iier cent of
tflie lnisiiie.ss of the world was done on

Mr. Harvey rcplyiuc. said that fihous-
inds if iiiiiii bad been financially
wrecked by their iii'a.bil.Lt.y to keep up
eir insurance iiayinetits. He doclaretl
tha.t tliere wis but rme worse online than
that of IST.'i and Chut wa.s committed
by the man wiho claiiiued that the defend
ed of silver wtiii't .repudiation. Ho
tihanked Mr. Horr for the illustration
i.s to the small' amount of silver in tho
country. lhere was no dancer but the
demands of business would absorb it
I'h.is .nation could coin all the silver
nibic.li other countries could brine to the
.iniled States. Wo could purchase those
product and ask them to mine acain.
ie conld thu.s absorb all the silver in
the world if .necessary. The history of
very nation of the world shows that
tihe more 'rinrary nioiiey it had 'Jio more
ii'osporoii.s it was. As lon.c as this
i mi ii try could iniake an iinlnuited diemaml
for siiCver at a tixied ratio the holders
would not part wiith it for less. It
would increase our trade with the cold
stiand.id nations of Europe throuch our

would acain come to the Nation. He
ih'iiareil that wtiith the crowtJi of tho
money iiowor came increase of salaries
and corruption. It .was the siamo in all
the nations. In 187.'! 17000 bushels of
wheat wou'.d have paid the salaries of tho
president of the United Stntos $25000.
Today it would take 80.0(H) bushels of
wheat to pay President Cleveland's sal-
ary of $50000. He then proceeded to
denounce the iirosiidoii'l's foroicn and
linanciial policy and declared that the
friends of free .silver were fichtins the
battle of 1be people i!:ho wiorld over.
On their efforts depended the liberty
of the masses. Gold bad driven the
liberty -lovinc into its last stronghold.
There was no thins beyond except the
islauds of tlie racitic. He declared that
a second declaration of inilepeindence in
the United States was needed and pro-
coedisl to recount tlie sitory of the signinc
of tho d(claration of independence in
IMiiiliadelphia and tihe rincinic of tlie bell
by the old watc.lnnn.ii with much dramatic
effect.
The anisweriiiic of questions was the
final act in the oni.troversy. It sliould
be said (liait the attoiudance at the ses-
sions was by card only and was limited
to the capaiuity of the haK which was
a.bout 20(1. This space was generally
fu'lly occuiiod.
