A COMPARISON OF WAGES DISCUSSED
YESTERDAY.

Silver Men Are Mot Contributing to tbls
Oempalan—Hat vey Presents Horr a
Sonvenlr.
Chicago, July 27—The last day bat
one of the Harvey-Horr silver conten-
tion began this afternoon.
Horr opened with a oomparhoa of
wages end cost of prodaots daring the
years from 1860 to 1890 as shown In a
table prepared by Statistician Carroll
D.Wiight. With the wages and prices of
1860 taken as an index or 100 it showed
that In 1890, prloes were 92; wages 159,
and the purchasing power of wttges 172
Horr proceeded to argue that at no
time in the history of the nation was
a country as prosperous as it was at
that time, in epite of the "crime of
1873.” He stated these statistics were
more applicable to the oondlttons
under discussion than those of Mr.
Sauerbeck, quoted by Harvey Tburs
day, as Sauerbeck’s figures were mads
ou prices in England.
Mr. Harvey lu turn took up the mat
ter of the prices of wheat for a series
of years, in reply to Horr’s statement
Thursday that the farmer bad reoelved
as ranch for prodnoe in gold as he re-
oelved before sliver was demonetized.
For answer be quoted prices from year
to year. He declared the arguments
of Horr were those used In the time of
the Bulwark tyrahy. The Declaration
of Independence was a proper answer
to such arguments. The proper todex
of prloes was to measure them In arti-
cles la international use. Tables made
up by gold men, even on these artioles,
showed they were lower than In 1850.
Referring to Hort’e argument tonohing
toe measure of value in human toll,
Huvey quoted from an article by Horr
in a New York paper In reply to a cor-
respondent who suggested making so
mooh work the equivalent of a dollar.
Horr deolared tue proposition absurd
and oonfusing.
Harvey denied Horr’s assertion that
falling prloes were the result of im-
proved facilities. Homy said It is the
supply produced and the demand for
it i dat regulates the prloe of such pro-
ducts, Suppose a wido.w owning a
farm receives voluntary assistance of
her neighbors to raise and harvest her
wheat crop. If the crop was In Iowa,
woald the Iowa oern prloe be governed
by the cost of production, or by the
relative supply and demand for corn?
"The cost of production has nothing
to do with It. A man may produce an
ounoe cf gold for 10cents that is worth
920. The faot that It ooet htm 10 cents
dees not make it worth any less than
$20.”
Horr—"Harvey is mystified by the
oanse if he takes It for granted that
the business of the oountry entirely
depends upon the amount per capita of
the oirculating medium. He Insists
that If you shrink you ruin business'lu
the oountry. There ere a large number of
men who believe that doctrine, but no
more transparent humbug was ever
taught. Money is a plethora in this
country; today, there are hundreds of
millions of dollars lying idle simply
because there is no body to nse it. Did
you know that? Is It not an abund-
ance of money that makes money
active. The country has a per capita
of $26 02. Uanada has $10 par capita,
but has elegant banking system; no
better on earth. Svltzsrland, one of
the most prosperous little nations
on the globe, has only $14 48,
about half as much as this
oountry has. The ratio of
money to the population proves noth-
ing, I want to show on the proposition
that wages have increased; that organi-
sations sustain wages for those actual-
ly employed whtle engaged at work.
But when you average wages by in-
cluding the unemployed and lnolnde
thg expenses of time lost, it does not
do so. Make the calculation this way
and yon will find that tne gold basts
has measured itself In wages with
mathematical aoonraoy. This condi-
tion ie not healthy; it breeds strife,
creates loss to Industry and labor; de-
stroys manhood; makes criminals. The
oause for It should be removed. Labor
organizations will ooutlnue and have
the right to continne as long as mono-
polies are organized. But we should
have a civilization that would make It
unnecessary for any organization of
that oharaoter to exLt. In Europe
wages have been forced down to the
legitimate level of a gold standard.
The bayonet has been used to do it.
Later It will do it here.”
Harvey said the faots are that there
has been no advanoe made lh wages at
Pullman. What they meant was that
they had given men that were at work
about 10 per oent. more work to do.
They had previously been working only
half time. "The proposition is made
by the gold standard men that all our
efforts for a restoration of silver is for
the Interests of silver bullion owners.
It Is not true. In our straggle to re-
store a sufficient volume of primary
money lu this oountry we have turned
our attention to ellvsr to right the
wrong oommltted and to restore to the
people that whioh ie the people’s
money, irrespective of who owned that
property. I want to say to you that
the silver produoers have not assisted
in rnnnlng this campaign. At one
time I sent oat forty foar letters, se-
lected names of as many prominent
silver mine owners who were supposed
to be wealthy—snob men as Moffit and
Shear of Colorado and Clark of Mon-
tana—and did not reoeive a oent from
them, not even enongh to pay postage
on the letters. At the time I brought
out Coin’s Finanolal School I was lu
debt and bad no money left.”
In oloelng the debate Harvey band-
ed Horrae a sonvenlr a silver dollar of
1799, with the word "unit” upon It.
Harvey said: Teke It, Horr, Wash-
ington may. have oarrltd It In fata
looket. It may have been fondled by
vaokson when writing his message to
oongress against national banka It la
a fit souvenir for any American prond
of his oountry end of Its Institutions
to osrry in his pooket all the days of
his life. (Passing dollar to Horr).
Applause, shouts of "Hurrah” and
continued applause.
Horr smiling: "I shall keen this dol
lar and put It to good use. I will hang
it around the neck of a little grand-
child born just as we oommenoed this
, discussion. It will do Brother Hirvey
' good to Isarn that the people of the
United States are still,-in spite of the
gold standard, marrying and giving In
marriage, and that ohlldren are still
born to ns la spite of the silver dol-
lar.”

Portland, Or*., July 27—An Indian

annooks and settlers in Wyoming,
war similar

authorities in the very near future uu-
lese the Interior department at Wash-
ington take immidlate step* to aeonre

this state from Indiscriminately
slaughtering game and fish lu season

expected to arrive and go into oamp at
the new hatohery within the next three
weeks Just when salmon era spawning
and unless some measures are taken to
stop them they will surely hate trouble

Another Murder to the Credit of Holmie
Chicago, July 27—William Capps,
the Fort Worth, (Texas) attorney, who
is here lu behalf of the hslrs of the
Williams sisters, advanced a rather
startling theory today which, if found
true, will add another viotim to the
large list of murders already credited
to Holmes, Aooordtog to Capps
Minnie R Williams had a brother
named Horaoe A. Williams, In Denver,
Ool. This young man eitner died or
was killed suddenly In Mey or June,
at Leadvllle, shortly before the sop
posed murder of the Williams sisterB.
The manner of his death Is not known
to the attorney, bnt be says he has
ascertained the young man was insured
for $2,500 In favor of hta sister Minnie.
This faot, Capps considers, decidedly
peculiar, as he says it is not reasonable
to suppose Horaoe Williams would
Insure his life in favor of a sister who
was already wealthy. He said his in-
vestigations on this point were qot
completed, but from wbat he learned
he was of the opinion Holmes first In-
sured the ycuog man and bad then
been instrumental in killing him-
Cincinnati, July 27-Obtef Dietz
reoelved a telegram from Detective
Gayer, in search of the Poplar street
house, formerly occupied by Holmes
Id this city. Holmes had his mysterious
trunks at this house, but took them
with him. He gave away the largest.
Howard Pietzel, as well as his sisters
were here witn Holmes, and Geyer
wanted to be satisfied whether Howarc
was disposed of here. Detectives sue
wjikmen dag up the basement today
and took oat the fire place. The yarc
was searched but nothing was found to
indicate murder there. Holmes was
closely watched here by Geyer ant
other deteotlves. It 1b the opinion
Howard was taken to Indianapolis.
Wheat Stronger nnd Higher.
Chicago, July 27—Helped by strong
news, September wheat today closed at
"l%@712£o, an advanoe of 2&o par
bushel, after having at one part of ihs

and in part to a premium belog paid
for 6pot Giro, closing at t nigher.
September oats closed Itfo higher and
provisions finished with but little
ohangs.
Killed by m Train.
Albuquerque, N. M., July 27—The
delayed No. 2 passenger train from the
south last night ran over and killed
two Mexicans near San Antonio. The
engineer saw them lying aorcss the
track a9 the train rounded a curve,
but could not check the train lu time

whisky Was found between the
mangled bodies and the agent at San

■REMEMBER THAT
Fropotad Railroad Coniolidation.
Helena, Mont., July 27—The pro-
posed consolidation of the Great
Northern
and Northern Paolflo sys-
tems, which have over 1400 miles of
railroad in Montana, has stirred up the
people of this state to a degree that
promises to result in an extra session
of the legislature. Twenty members
of that body and prominent citizens
have been in session here the past two
days with Governor Richards relative
to the propriety of oalllDg an extra
session, and the governor Is inoilned to
Issue the call, if it becomes necessary,
to prevent the oonsolidation of the two
roads. The state constitution forbids
the ooncolldation of competing rail-
roads, and as all branohes and both
roads are organized under state laws,
all the legislature will have to do is to
pass a law patting the oonstltntiona
provision into effect. If it becomes
evident that the consolidation will be
effeoted, a special session will no donbt
be called.

New York society women ride in
knickerbockers, bnt they are completely
hidden from view by a skirt, according
to a well informed New York Press re-
porter.
Women’s bicycling received its real
impetus when the smart set took it np.
Once the seal of fashion was set upon
the sT>ort the pace of its success was
designated.
The Michaux club, New York’s swell
society cycling organization, has is-
sued its pronunciamento that the only
fashionable time to ride in public is in
the morning.
The older woman who mounts the
wheel needs to be especially careful in
her dress. What is piquant and effective
at 20 is not equally so at 40 and 50,
says the New York Times.
Discussion as to what the new wom-
an should or should not wear on her bi-
cycle is absolutely fruitless. She will
wear jnst what she pleases, and that is
all there is of it, says the New York
Advertiser.
