Dorr declared the proposition ubsurd, and confusing. HORK ABUSIVE. Mr. llurr said that Mr. Harey had nniy quoted a brief extract of his, and uiu nui give the sense oi the article.

Mr. Harvey, replying, presented a table of figures, snowing the failures In tne country for a series of years. He war, when Wined out tnat during the the circulating medium amounted to per capita, failures had been tu a minimum. As the circulatfailures Ining medium decreased, creased. The Nation owed It to Itself to get rid of this great amount of bank credit and substitute money lor It. The Interest of the millions ot debts to the of the tfe.ii kh were the equivalent amount of ths annual failures. to quote Mr. ixarvey then proceeded and mileage figures as to the number of hanas In the receivers; oi railroads the comparative increase of tenant lurmers over owning farmers In 180 and over 1880, as shown by the census tlie great percentage of return, ands who are renters, nut own- iiuineaeepei eijur.

CAUSE OF FALLING FRIO'S. Mr. Harvey denied Mr. Hurr's assertion that falling prices were the result of improved facilities. Mr. Harvey said It Is the supply produced and the demand fur It that regulates the price of such products. Suppose a widow owning a farm receives the voluntary assistance of her neighbors to raise and harvest her wheat crop. Will her wheat be worth any less tlmn the price llxed by the quantity of wheat in existence. known to the traders, and the estimated demand for it? If all the corn crop In the United States were destroyed except the crop in Iowa, would the Iowa corn price be governed by tlie cost uf production, or the relative supply an- - demand for corn? The cost uf production has nothing; to uo uiih It. A man may produce an ounce of gold for ten cents, thit is worm fJU. The fact that It cost him ten rents docs not make it worth less Hum $20. A FLETHORA OF MONEY. Mr. Iiorr Mr. llarvey is myrtlfled because he takes it for granted that tlie business of a country entirely uion the u mount per caplin of the circulating medium, llu insists If that you shrink that you ruin the business In th country. There are a large number uf inen who believe that doctrine, but no more IraiiHimrenl humbug was ever taught the people uf this or any other country. Money Is u There plethora In this country are hundreds of millions of dollars lying Idle simply because there is nobody to use It. Did you know that? Why, my friend Harvey and all you men who talk that way as usual get the cart before the horse. It Is nut abundance of money that makes business active; it Is business that makes money active in this world of ours. And until you can compreApplause. hend that point, Brother Harvey, you will never understand this financial question at all. Laughter. Mr. Hurr explained that the sufficiency or lack of sufficiency of banking faculties had much to do with the question of the necessity of a large or This small per capita circulation. country has a per capita of 32G.02. Canada has 310 per capita, but Canada has an elegant banking system no better on the face of the earth than the Canadian system of utilizing banka Switzerland, one of the most prosjierous little Nations on the face of this globe, has only $14.48. The ratio of money to the population proves nothing. What we need In the United States Is good wages fur work, steady employment for our .men, and we have got money enough to do twice the business we are doing. Applause. Mr. Harvey At the conclusion of this debate Mr. Horr and I have 2300 words each at our disposal to write at our leisure within seven days after the debate, to sum up the debate, and anythat I thing In Mr. Hurt's arguments 1 will attend to do nut reply to In thatsummary, because there Is only a short time left to us, and I want to answer some matters that have been Introduced Into this debate at the earlier stages. I want to speak a few moments on the proposition that wages have Increased. ORGANIZED LABOR AND WAGES. Speaking of organised labor, Mr. Harvey said: sustain wages for Organizations those actually employed while engaged at work, but when you average the wage? by Including the unemployed, and Include. UteJexpense an d .time Just,. It does not do so. Make the calculation this way and you will find that the gold basis has measured Itself In wages with mathematical accuracy. This condition is not healthy; It is not good for the country; It breeds strife. It creates loss to Industry and labor; it destroys manhood; It makes criminals. The cause for it should be The labor orremoved. Applause. and have a ganisations will continue as money Is right to continue asaslong monopolies are organised; as long organized. Applause. But we should have a civilization that would make it unnecessary for any organization of that character to exist. In Europe wages have been forced down to the legitimate level of the gold standard. The bayonet has been used to do it. Later it will do it here. The Interest of ths laboring man la on our side. W will hold his wages up without strikes or the expense of strikes. As the gold of California and Australia raised his wages, so will the silver of our mountains, os It pours Into our metallic money stock as primary money, raise his wages. There will be work for all. and the strife for labor The man who now has will cease. work or a situation and selfishly reasons that he benefits himself by maintaining a dear dollar, is neither broad nor humane. He Is assisting In wrecking bis country, and It may be too late to remedy the error when he, too, is Applause. without employment." THE PULLMAN INCREASE. Mr. Harvey asked if the public were not deceived about wages being Increased. Referring to tne reported 10 per cent advance in wages at Pullman affecting 4000 men, conceded by the company without demand by (he tollers, Mr. Harvey said the facts are that there has been no advance muds In wages at Pullman, and that Mr. Pullman himself admits that there was no advance made, and what they ment was that they had given the men that were at work about 10 per cent more work to do. They had previously been Applause. working only half-timMr. Harvey read a letter from Thomas I. Kidd, general secretary of the International Machine Woodworkers' Union, saying: "If clothes and food embraced all the necessities of ll)e laboring people, the dollar would unquestionably be of greater value to them than ever, but they do not, and what the laborer may save by cheaper clothes and food is more thrqi offset by Increased rent alone, When all things are considered, the real value of the dollar Is no greater now than In 1885. One trouble that labor will now recognize In the United Stales Is that, on account of the depressed condition of affairs, laborers are not working full time. The unions have succeeded In holding up the price per diem, but the men are not working more than say lf the time, which is making that much loss In dollars that they are receiving." LAND TENANCY SYSTEM. Speaking of tenancy, Mr. Harvey said: Twenty million acres of land In Is owned by the United States English titled nobility, anil the English land tenancy has to that extent been already Introduced Into this country. In the Stale of Illinois there Is a county by the name of Logan thot has a county seat by the name of Lincoln, and you can drive for mllus through that county on your way to that county peat and have on both sides of you one of Lord Scully's possessions, with the Irish thatched cottages over the land." lApplaupe, Mr. Horr I have traveled extensively, very extensively, through thirty-on- e States of this Union, and I never yet saw a single farm nor had my attention called to one, that was owned by people living outside of the United ds to-da- y. to-d- ay e. one-ha- to-d- ay States. There are some, but they are very few. INTEREST CF MINE OWNERS.

At the time I brought out Culn's Financial School' I was in debt and had no money left." PRESENTATION TO MR. HORR. In closing the debate for the day, Mr. llarvey handed Mr. Iiorr, as a souvenir. a silver dollar of 1799, with the word unit" upon It. Mr. Harvey said: Take It. Mr. Horr. Washington may have curried It In Ills pocket; Jefferson may at one time have had it in h!s possession; It may have paid for the paper on which the declaration of war was written In 1812 against Great Britain; It may have been fondled by Jackson when writing his message to Congress against the National banks. Applause. it is a fit souvenir for any American, proud of his country and Its institutions, to carry In his pocket all the days of his life. Passing dollar to Mr. Horr. Applause. Shouts ofhur-ra- h and continued applause. Mr. Horr (smiling) I shall keep this dollar and put It to a good use.

Colonel Livingstone sat unnoticed under a tree while Secretary Smith spoke. congressman Livingstone hud copies of Secretary Smiths 1899 letter on tree coinage circulated among thu crowd, which loudly cheered the Secretary's remarks concerning It.

I, should not be candid with you If I did nut say 1 hud been asked in 1890 whether I favureu the free coinage uf silver that I would have answered yes.1 Secretary Smith then went Into a discussion of the conditions under which silver Was coined In 1890 and the different conditions now, which had brought about a change in opinion. The Secretary refuted the Idea thut the low prices now prevailing were caused by the act of 1873. The Secretary then went Into President Cleveland's record and was enthusiactlcally cheered. During the Secretary's address, a man who stood near Colonel Livingston several times Interrupted Mr. Smith with questions suggested by the Congressman. prei-sratlo- ns to-da-ys DE LAMAR PROPERTY.

Quarantine Officer Evans has isolated them in cars unde trmtrOa. held until all danger Is past. Consul Sparks has wired for more rations, as several hundred more are expected to arrive of the 700 who passed through Torreon last February to make their fortunes through the aid of a colonization copipany. d Nearly 400 of them, starved, and diseased, have been camped for the post few days near Torreon. 8uch a miserable, hungry, barefooted lot would be hard to find. They tell a pitiful Btory of deception. They were assured the place was nn a railroad, a good house to live In, five acres of land to cultivate, their own vegetables, etc., plenty of game, and all were given a blank contract, which was to guarantee them half the crop of sixty acres which each was to take care of, fifty In cotton and ten In corn. After their arrival they vainly tried to set the contracts signed, hut it seems the contracts were never signed or fulfilled. The houses were miserable adobes. The water was vile, and killed a great ir.nny wlth a pecles of malaria an-- swelling of the limbs. The death averaged five a week, and they claim a hundred died there, owing to the water atand lack of medicine and medical tention. Finally the negroes were told that the company said they, the negroes, had no Interest In the crop, but that the company would pay them CO rents a day. This was done for about two weeks, when It was cut to 37 cents a day. If they were sick they received nothing, and. If what they say is true, many are crying for something lo eat. The manager nliout this time.

XmportLnt Witness Whose Deposition Will Be Taken at Boston. San Francisco, July 27. The prosecuting detectives in the Durrant case are tracing the career of Charles F. Clark, the Boston wine drummer, who, the defendant states, was Induced to leave here in order that he would not appear as a witness for Durrant. It Is said that Clark knows Durrant and was acquainted with Blanche On the afternoon of the murder of Miss Lamont, Clark Is supposed to have seen the girl In a car with a young man who closely resembled Durrant, but was not he. If such testimony could be produced at the trial It would go far to offset the statements of the several witnesses at the preliminary examination, who swore that they saw Durrant and the murdered girl together on the afternoon she disappeared. Clarks deposition will be taken In Boston In Durrant' s Interest. The police detectives deny that they induced Clark to leave town, and say that they never heard of him before.
