If you’re not bright enough to see the point, you are convicted of being one of the class you mention. In any event you’re a fool.

Ilium-11111111 IIEIIITE Deinouctiziili’iii “I the Bone of j GillWlltlOl). VENALITY OF LEGISLATORS. Incidentally the salary Grab Bill Is ' I Talked Ab mt, as Well us Mr. Horr’s Coniurrtiuii W ith a National Bunk as I Its President The Debate Adjourned Over l iilil Saturday. Chicago. July Iff. —lt was knife to the hilt yesterday tn the Horr-Harvey encounter. Mr. Horr, sifter some personal explanations as to his profitless experience as the president of st national bank which went up in the crash of 1873, continued the argument relative to the demonetization obt-of 1873. He j said: “The net of 1873 was prepared after ; submitting the question to a large number of experts ait over theUnitei.iStates. We hud never had a revision of the mint laws for a number of years, and the men in charge of the mint thought that the time had come when something should be done. Among the men consulted upon the question were-Mr. Boutwell, secretary of the treasury; Mr. Knox, controller of the currency; Mr. Lindeman, director of the mint; Mr. Parsons, superintendent of the mint at Philadelphia, and my friend here intimates that this must have been wicked because it was hitched on the revision of the mint laws. Why that is where it belonged. That was the place to put it. The bill, with the correspondence, was submitted to congress in the most complete form and with an elaborate report from Mr. Knox, which explained, all its provi£ioiis u Thousands of copies of the bill were sent broadcast to all parts of. the country. The Bankers’ Magazine, in its number of July, 1870. reported- this report off Mr. Knox and commented on the same. The bill prepared by Mr. Knox was indorsed by Secretary Boatwell of the treasury and transmitted to the senate April 2, 1870. The bill as it was at that time drafted, dropped the dollar silver coin of the United States and changed the unit of value. That was in tlie original bill as it was sent to the senate with a letter from the secretary. Nobody tried to cover up that fact. In this report of Mr. Knox were found all the letters of these different experts to whom ha 1 been sent a draft of the bill and who had been asked for their opinion upon it. These letters were a l printed by the order of the se«retary in connection with the carefully prepared report of Mr. Knox. Mr. Patterson wrote to Mr. Knox, saying: ‘The silver dollar, half, .dime ami 3 cent piece are dispensed with by this amendment. Gold becomes standard money, of which the gold dollar is the unit. Silver is subsidiary, embracing coins from the .dime to the half dollar.’ Can anything be more-plain than that? Was there any covering up of anything m that letter? ” Corruption In Mr. Harvey—ln the present action of demonetization I have called attention to the condition, morally, of congress/ at the time of- the passage of to impeachment charges against Vice President Colfax in 1873 for fraud in connection with that legislation; to the resignation of Secretary of War Belknap for bribery in 1873. I now proceed after first stating-for Mr. Horr’s information that Delniau, the English historian, says that the act of. 1816 demonetizing silver in England had a clause in it that it might be reinstated by the king, that clause giving a right to reinstatement was repealed in 1871, and that the act in which it was repealed was, within two weeks, in the hands of Mr. Knox, the comptroller of the United States treasury [applause|, and was in part the basis of the act in this country. There was an era of corruption in congress at that time. • Mr. Horr—The attempt of Mr. Harvey to smirch the congress of the United States and claim the people who acted as members of congress in this country as a rule are corrupt and have been subject to purchase and sale, can be characterized only as infamous. | Applause). The people of this country —and the congressman is no exception—as an average, are upright business men. Mr. Harvey—Among the many charges of cprruption made at this time, 1873, there was one significance when we consider that silver was demonetized by a'"Singie-si'nten(-e being omitted Irom the reportTqf the conference committee and enrollment of the mint bill, and indjcati's the powel. in this instance, a corrupt clt-i'k could have. George Av Basset t . clerk of the ways and means committee, la7:i, was chargedAvith having (h-maniled $250 per month from the banker-- and brokers’of New York to assist th-.-in in repealing the tax on'borrowvd’capital, anil .$">0,000 when the act passed. The Chicago Tribune of Feb. 21, 1873'. trie V'-ry month in which silver was (h'lrioni'trzed, said: /‘Turkish corruption uiider tire Pashas and Beys, or Russian oiiieml-rottenness could scarce-, ly be wor-e than it is here.” fApplause]. Air. H.JI vev next paid his respects to. thesala; v arab bill as a choice specimen of the corruption of tha-t period, sttylng: “The people could, understand the salary grab, .but they could not u'lider*. stand » scaeutrfic spoliatidn of—their rights. ’’ pplause].
