First Day's lebiit«

CHICAGO, July 17.—There beir.iu yesterday ut the Illinois club what promises to be one of the most

noteworthy

forensic battles ever fought. The is.-aie is: "Gold or silver for the national currency and the champion of one is Roswell G. Horr of Michigan, of the other "W H. Harvey of Chicago, of ••Coin's Financial School" fame.

The debate is expected to continue for eight days. To the upholder of the yellow metal the privilege of opening •was accorded. According to the agreement, Mr. Horr was obliged to conline his preliminary argument to 1,000 words, and was answered by Mr. Harvey to the same extent. Then the Michigan congressman replied and was again followed by the

expounder

of

free coinage. After this both men stood ready to answer any question which mignt be propounded to them by members of the audience.

Tlie debate took place in the assembly room of the Illinois club. The room was lifted up like a small amphitheater, but there were seats lor only persons. Admission was by card only.

Mr. Horr, in opening the uebare, spoke as lollows: (tenT!-K\u- \"—It is agreed between ?ur. Harvey ami niys.'U that pre\i(iu to enuring upon the general diNCii-Mon. •«i li of us shall makeabnel statement defining in a ireneral way tin- position he propones to occupy in this debute, 'l'lie ([iieMiou which we are about to di.-.cus is nut only receiving very great attention among !.e people ol the Uniied tsiate.s, bill it is one that is alsu receiving some attention lrmu the nations ot the Old World. The question involves the kind of money that shall be used by .ie people ot the Lniied Mates and lias to c. with the laws which will affect the business interest** of this nation. Tlie quest 1.11 of linanc-e is a very complicated one and there tire some features of i5 about which the ablest men of the world have been differing for years. The foundation of the discussion which we are about to enter is a small book published by Mr. Harvey, my opponent, and entitled "Coin's Financial School."

I will state in tlie outset that from the beginning to the end of the book there is hardly a proposition made to which I give my assent. 1 propose to controvert many things which arc stated as facts and shall attempt to prove that the entire theory set forth by its author, if adopted by the peo pie of this country, would lead only to business disaster and financial ruin. I not now remember ever to have examined a book carefully in which I lound so few statements that I consider worthy of belief and 1 certainly never saw so many absolute errors crammed into so few pages.

I am not here as an opponent of bimetallism. I believe in the use of gold and silver as money to the fullest extent that can be done on sound business principles. My positiou upon this question has been too frequently stated within the last live years to be misunderstood by any one. 1 believe that both gold and silver are the natural money of the world that in all the larger transactions gold is better adapted to ths needs ot the people than silver that all the smaller business transactions of the human family tor many years have been and always should be conducted with silver.

I do not believe that any one government can lix the value upon any two metals and name a ratio which will bo accepted by the people of the world or of the country itseil, so that the two metals will be used side by side. Consequently, if our nat ion alone should attempt any such action it would simply place our country upon a silver basis and the attempt would end in silver monometallism. Tf we are compelled to decide between gold monometallism and silver monometallism, then 1 am decidedly in favor of adopting the standard used by the civilized nations of the world.

I do not believe that silver lias ever been demonetized anywhere in the world. I believe that the law of 187 !, which Mr. Harvey denounces as a "crime, was honestly conceived, openly advocated and passed by the American congress, alter full deliberation and because the people at that time who held seats in the American congress believed that such a law ought to be enacted. I shall deny most, emphatically that the great majority of the people of this country are in debt, and jghall insist that three-fourths of the American peoplo are today creditors and jiot debtors, and that consequently the system which Mr. Ilarvey advocates would work great injury to the vast majority of American citizens. "What our people, need is good cridit, good money, good principles and sound business sense.

Visionary schemes and debased money never yet made a nation prosperous. The quality of tho money used in any country js far more important than the quantity. Xiaws should be drawn to protect the men -who earn money as well as those who owe jjnoney. A man who works faithfully and lives on his daily earnings should never bo sacrificed for the benefit of men who live on what they borrow.

But all things will be more fully explained as the contest progresses.

Mr. Harvey followed IU a statement AS follows: I am here to defend the facts and principles in "Coin's Financial School." I •xpect to make good in this debate the following propositions:

First—That silver and gold are tho money of the constitution. That the silver dollar was the unit of value in our coinage system in this country from 1792 to 187.'}, just as tho yardstick was the measure of length. That gold was measured in this silver unit and concurrent coinage given to it (gold). That silver And gold combined constituted the legal standard of value in thiB country until 1873. Silver measured gold the two together measured all other property.

Second—That the act of 1873 was surreptitiously passed. Third—That during the period—1793 to 187J—the mints -vrere open to the unlimited eolnage of both metals into primary ox redemption money, and that both were treated as sueh. That during that period neoplehad a right to have either metal coined into fwll legal tender money, and

a

H®

that the option was the debtor to pay

in

coins of either- e.eral. Fourth—Th:.i this bimetallic system made an unlimited demand for both "inetals to lie coined into money, increased the demand for these metals, and so long it* this law, authorizing anyone to coin o7l 1-4 grains of silver and Si 2-10 grains of gold into a dollar, there was no one willing to sell either for less than a dollar.

Fifih—That the option to pay in either metal caused the cheaper of the two metals to be used and transferred the d'-mand from the dearer to the cheaper metal and restored its relative commercial value.

Sixth—That if is to the interest of the Vnited States to act independently the remoneri/.at ion of silver at the ratio to gold ot Hi to 1. without waiting for the

Tenth—That it has worked a hardship and injury to debtors, who. unconscious of the causes that continuously reduced the prices ot their property, have contracted debts during these years. That this tall in prices can to purchase the liquidate these debts. Thai 1 his Las cau.-ed the renewal of debts the contraction of new debts to pay the old debts and an enlarged vol nine ol all debts. That, this unjustly takes from a debtor his property and emphasizes the importance of a stable money measurement ol value.

1111 Allllt I'll.l uses a sacrmce of properly dollars with which to

Eleventh—That in the end no one is benefited by a fall in prices, but the money lender, tlie owner of money and securities payable in money—fixed incomes.

Twelfth—That the foregoing facts and conditions produced by a change in our money measurement of values will impoverish the masses of the people and points by reason of the disturbances it will produce to the overthrow of the republic.

NEEDS A BETTER HARBOR.

Difficulties Experienced in Shipping Goods to Graytown.

WASHINGTON, July 17.—United States Consul O'Hara. at Graytown, in a report to the state department gives the following accounts of difficulties experienced by vessels in entering that harbor: "The steamship Jamaica arrived off this harbor from New York on the 15th inst. having on board about 5,000 packages of freight, large and small, for this place. There is but little water on the bar, and the sea has been very rough on this coast for a few days, making it impossible to reach Jamaica from shore Monday when the harbor tug Coburg and two lighters wvnc to receive the freight. "In attempting to enter the harbor Monday evening with one ot tho lighters, the Coburg and lighter were beached. The lighter lr-.d oil (00 packages of freight, mostly Hamburg liquors. Most of the freight will be saved. Tlie tug has lost its prop illors and its hull is badly damaged. There is nu other tug here and it may be impossible to save the Coburg from total loss. The value ot ohe tug was $8,000. The accident will seriously effect the business of the town for some time. The Jamaica will go to Blue fields and discharge the balance of the cargo from which place it will be brought here in small schooners.''

DR. EDDMON NOT GUILTY.

The Case Against .llrs. Kildmou Stricken From tlie Ducuiumit.

TOI/KDO, July 17.—Tlie Commercial's special from Bowling Green says: The argument in the Peany murder case closed shortly after :J o'clock. Judge Melhoru's charge to tlie jury was manifestly in l'avor of the ace-used, and when the jury retired at 5 o'clock, few persons believed that there would be any other verdict than acquittal. it was 5 o'clock when the jury arrived at a verdict of "Is'ot guilty."

The audience showed such enthusiastic satisfaction at the announcement that the bailiffs had considerable difficulty in restoring order.

The case against Mrs. Eddinon was stricken from tho docket.

Attempted to Escape.

PAINTSviLTJE, Ky., July 17.—When the jailer at Prestonburg, Floyd County, entered the jail yesterday morning, to give the prisoners breakfast, he was caught from behind, thrown into a cell, and the prisoners, three in number, made a break for liberty. They had not gone far until they were overtaken by the jailer and ordered to stop, They refused to obey the order and the jailer shot the leader. Elijah Wright,through the back. The shot is thought to be fatal.

Collapse of Three Hanks.

CARROLLTON, Mo., July 17.—Upon application of Assistant Attorney General Jordan the Bank of Nor borne has been placed in the hands of a receiver. The Carroll county bank, located at Dewitt, has also met the same fate. This makes three bank collapses in this county within one week. Every other bank in the county is in first class condition.

Doable Love Tragedy.

PHILADELPHIA, July 17.—James Conner, aged 24 years, of 2744 Kensington avenue, shot Kate Conley, aged 19 years, of 1933 Ann street, Tuesday, and then turned the weapon upon himself, sending a bullet into his right temple. The girl may recover, but Conner can not. The shooting was the result of a lovers' quarrel.

•aeeaded the Matter horn.

BERNB, Switzerland, July 17.—An American named Zermatt Parkett has accomplished the ascent of the Matterhorn, over 14,700 feet above the level of the sea.

iii

mi.. uuLi

ac­

tion of anv other nation. Seventh—That monometallism consists in the list1 of the dearer oi the two metals to the exclusion of tho other as primary or redemption money.

Eighth—That the gold unit as tho measure of values, with no concurrent coinage of any other metal to assist it in performing the functions of primary money, has caused the fall in prices as compared with 1S7~', when the world's prices of property were measured in tho money mass of both metals. That all prices of property and labor have declined accordingly, as compared with 1S72. except when hold up relatively by increased demand or short supply of 3ombines and trusts or special reasons affecting a particular service ol property. "Ninth—That tho decline in prices covering a period of years, has, as a rule, made all classes of productive mercantile and manufacturing business unprofitable that a falling market covering a long period, destroys the prospective profits, based on cost of purchase and production, «mda majority of our most asiute business men can not avoid tailureor loss of capital under these conditions.

His Case Is Thought to Be Hopeless.

FIFTEEN SWORD-CUT O WOUNDS.

That Many Inflicted Upon His Head l!e_ sido Mis llody I njuries—lVilice JJelievcd to Iieeti in tlie l'lot to Assassinate

Hint—The Excitement in Sofia Mill Intense.

SOFIA, July 17.—The excitement into which the city was thrown by the attempted murder of ex-Premier iStunibulotl has not in the least degree subsided, but, on the contrary, has become intensified.

M. Stambuloff is still alive but hi3 condition is pronounced to be almost hopeless. He has 15 sword-cuts on Jus head and one of his eyes has been destroyed.

Everybody seems to be convinced that the police were in the plot to assassinate the ex-premier, as five members of the police force, who were near him when he was attacked, made no attempt to interfere.

M. fetambuloff has made a statement to the public prosecutor who has ordered the arrest of Tufektohieff, who was formerly charged with the murder of M. Beltcheff, the Bulgarian minister of finance, who was assassinated in March, 1S91, while in company with M. Stambuloff. Mine. Beltcheff, it will be recalled, was recently induced to believe that M. Stambuloff was the murderer of her husband, and a warrant was issued but never executed for his arrest.

A man who witnessed M. Stanibuioff's coachman pursue the assassins Monday night says that he saw a policeman strike the coachman because of the larter's refusal to give up tlie revolver with which he was chasing the criminals, and to whom the policemen were not paying any attention. STOLE COAL FROM THE MINERS.

Sticli Is tlie Charge Made Against an Operator and His Weighman.

PITTSBURG,

July 17.—Operator T. D.

Stem and his check weighman, T. ii. Marshall, were arrested yesterday on the charge of stealing coal from the miners at the Idlewood mine, which is owned by Mr. Stein. The suit was brought by Secretary Warner of tho miners' organization. He charges that Mine Inspector Blicks has examined the Bcales at the mine and found the weights false. The Fairbanks Scale company has also examined the weights and found that they gave the operator an advantage of 800 pounds in a ton.

Mr. Stein chums the scales are all right and that they have been in use at the mine for 10 years. It is stated that if the miners win this suit all of them will enter suits for damages. Some of the men have been working at this mine for 20 years, ank their claims will amount to $5,000 apiece.

BRUTAL ROBBERS.

An Old Couple Bound and Gagged and Horribly Tortured.

ASHLAND, O., July 17.—Late Monday night four masked men went to tlie house of John Miblin, living a few miles from this place, and on being refused admittance battered down the door with a fence rail.

The robbers secured $13, all the money in the house. Miblin and his wife, who are both very old and almost blind, did not succeed in releasing themselves until 9 o'clock yesterday morning. There is no clew to the identity of the robbers.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE.

The One Tried iu ltaltimore Proven an Immense Success.

BALTIMORE, July 17.—All possible question of the ability of electric locomotive No. 1 of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to pull the heaviest trains tnrough the belt line tunnel, was disposed of yesterday. With the tremendous load of 2G freight cars, all laden, and two locomotives, the electric motor pidled through the tunnel with not nearly all power on.

This test of the motive was the most important that has yet been made. Tlie load pulled was at least 2,800,000 pounds. The two steam engines, which were attached to the train, joined their forces when the electric locomotive was detached to take the train 011 its journey east.

BUSINESS LEAGUES.

THEIR VALUE IN PROMOTING A TOWN'S WELFARE.

flow the Brunswick (Ga.) Organization Doos Its Work—Reaching Out After New Industries—Factory Facilities, Health. Statistics, Freight Kates and Cost of Living.

The young business men of tlie busy city of Brunswick, Ga.. do not believe in sitting down and waiting for sometiling to turn up. Knowing the advantages of their town, they are active in acquainting the world with its many facilities for manufacturing and other industries, not forgetting its desirability as a place of residence. At present a movement is on foot to induce New England cotton factories to set up shop near the cotton fields. A young men's business league has been organized and has this matter in charge. Mr. W. H. Reed, president of the First National bank, is president of the league. In describing the work of the league he said to a representative of the Atlanta Constitution "Our most pressing work just now is the attraction to our town of factories. In company with a committee I recently visited the cotton mill men of New England. While they disclaimed that they were going to move their plants south, yet I secured tlie best of evidence that the desire to come south was general and was shared by even those mill men who are doing well. In order to convince tliem that Brunswick had inducements which claimed attention I had to study the matter out, so as to put it iu away that they would understand. "I told them Brunswick was situated on a peninsula, surrounded by salt wa ter, within eight miles of the Atlantic ocean. Tho mean temperature in the six winter months—January, February, March, October, November and December, 1894—was ol). The remaining six months, or summer months, 1894, it was 77. Tlie lowest mean was in January—47. The highest was in August— 82. The temperature rarely exceeds 90 and is seldom lower than 30. The hottest day was on Aug. 17—90—and the coldest day, Dec. 29—12. The mean humidity throughout the year exceeds 74, and at no time is it necessary to produce an artificial humidity for the working of the cotton spinning machines in our factory. In 1894 there were 59 rainy days, 117 cloudy days and 189 perfectly clear days. "In 1S94 the death rate was as follows Deaths from all causes—white, 66 black, 130 total, 196. "A splendid sewerage system has just been completed, and the city and surrounding country are completely drained. The United States government maintains a rigid system of quarantine. Therefore there is little danger of epidemic diseases, either from within or without. The water supply is from artesian wells of purest water, the purity and abundance of which guarantee perfection in bleaching and dyeing, and no city in the south can present a better general health record. "Brunswick is reached by two important lines of railroad—tlie Plant system and the Southern, connecting wi[h all points north, south and west. The South Brunswick Terminal company has a line of railroad connecting with the Plant system and the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad, and the latter road passes only a few miles from the city. The Mallory line of steamers operate direct between New York and this port. The Georgia and Florida Steamboat company connects with the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad at Fernandina, Fla., and the Brunswick Terminal company operates tho only direct line of steamers from any south Atlantic port to Europe. Local steamer lines ply between Brunswick and points on the Satilla and Altamalia rivers. Brunswick has 38 miles of water front, a depth of water of 23 feet on the outer bar, which is being constantly increased. "Living is as cheap as in any part of the country in places of similar size. "Freights between interior points and Brunswick are as low as to any other southern sen nor t. In this particular a seaport will always have an advantage over interior points, as local rates in the interior aro always higher and liable to change, while the only change possible to the seaport will be in the direction of gradually reducing the schedule."

Then he gives a schedule of the prices of the principal building materials, coal, wood, etc.

Here, in a short space, is condensed some of the claims upon which Brunswick appeals to the world and challenges lier business. Brunswick cannot fail to make an impression and become a city of wealth and influence.

Helping Home Industries.

The women of Tacoma aro engaged in a very active crusade in favor of "home industries." Tliey have formed a league whose members pledge themselves to give preference always to articles manufactured in Tacoma or produced in the state and to labor to bring others to their principles. The women are working in the matter with an astonishing vigor, and have succeeded in booming local trade to a notable extent. One feature of the crusade is a badge worn by members of the Home Industry league and another is the printing of a list of home manufactured articles, which is supplied to every household in the town.

Some Powerful Draws.

It takes a rich man to draw a check, a pretty girl to draw attention, a horse to draw a cart, a porous plaster to draw the skin, a toper to draw the cork, a free lunch to draw a crowd and an advertisement in a newspaper to draw trade.—Mansfield (Ills.) Express.
