SEATING CAPACITY CROWDED.

Harv.ey Tell* Why Gold Has Been .Recognized as the Standard in All Commercial Transactions—Harvey's Book Criticised by Mr. Horr—A l)ay of B«it Takeu at the

Close of

Traverse City, Ne-ali-ta-wan-ta, Oinena, Charlevoix, I Petoskey,

the Debate.

CHICAGO, July 24.—The seating capacity of the rooms of the Illinois club was all taken up when the Horr-Harvey debate opened yesterday. While the size of the room does not permit a large audience, the officers of the club are compelled every day to refuse many applications for seats.

The day's talk was opened by Mr. Harvey. He said that the debate of the last "session was of value as showing that during the past 40 years silver has been steadily coined in spite of the assertion to the contrary that by the table copied from the reports of the mint the commercial ratio between gold and silver had been maintained at about the French coinage ratio of 15 1-2 to I for 200 years that during the 22 years since 1873 as the result of demonetization the commercial ratio had declined to 32 to 1 that in the 338 years prior to 1873 the quantity ratio between gold and silver had ranged from 50 of silver to 1 of gold, to 4 of silver to 1 of gold, and that during all that time the commercial ratio had clung closely to the legal ratio. During all that time the commercial price of silver bullion had remained steady. Since 1873 it had steadily and rapidly decreased. It was the dominating influence of London on exchange to all parts of the world which led to gold being recognized by the world as the standard in ail commercial transactions.

Mr. Horr. in his opening remarks, proceeded to call attention to wnat lie called mis\eading statements in Mr. Harvey's jo^c. For instance, he declared to be untrue the statement that it was believed that the cost of producing all of the gold in the world .was about §2 per ounce, while some put it much higher. Mr. Horr pointed out that there had been a vastly increased production at greatly reduced pri JS and the cost which Mr. Harvey spoke ol the silver miners in three years would have lose #100,0t}0,000. Again Mr. Harvey had put the.. aggregate, amount of silver in the world at about $3,000,000,000. 1$ was estimated that there was about $6,000,000,000. &tr. Harvey had said that the debts of' the United States amounted to $40,000,000,000. That was ,an absurdity. The statement of ..thJKy,mount of interest which the United^Slatos paid annually to Europe was also untrue.

Mr. Harvey said that the amount of silver referred to by him in his book was the amount available for coinage. For the rest he proposed to pursue the order of the discussion and auswer tlie questions when he came to them. Mr. Harvey then distributed a table showing the production of gold and silver from 1792 to 1892, and proceeded to argue that, in spite of wide relative fluctuations in production, there had been no fluctuations iu relative value tiil after the demonetization act in 1873. He then proceeded to argue that, except in the legai ratio of weight, there should be no difference in the treatment of silver and gold. He said that the government was the creator of money, and had the right to regulate the thing created to the extent of fixing relative ranos, but it had no right to take from th' legal tender quality of any money created.

Mr. Hon- continued his objections to Mr. Harvey's statements in his book. Ht rook up the supposition that the govern. aunt wanted 100,000 horses. Its competition would increase the value of liwr.^es that is, free coinage of silver vv.Mild increase the value of the bullion. Mr. Horr said that all the government did to silver was to put a stamp upon the bullion and return it to the owner. Suppose the government should merely call for 100,000 horses for the purpose of artixing a brand to them, and, having done so, should return them to the owner, would that increase the value of tiie horses of the country? Th6 horse argument Mr. Horr declared-w.is a fraud.

Mr. Harvey said that. this.: government had nxed thQ prioe of.guld and. all the friends of silver wanted was for it to flx|the jirice of/silver,, ia the. belief that the niition could' bettef ke$p out of the hafids of the pa^iiWoker with.two iiietals I tban oiie.

tionial liie. Mrw.Hprr ide?i»ed it a j?0od sign aiid quoted from statistics gathered by the state of Minnesota sho^ing the steady eVolutidii.of tile tenant intone, land oWlieri and froin other statistics showing that th»! increase ih thejautp"ber of tenants had been accompanfiMi' by a decrease in the number of .farm da^ laborers. The increase in tenancy had not been at the.expense of farm owners, btit at that of day laborers.

Mr. Harvey declined to disouss what he called the tenant business, but promised that he would take it up when he got to it. He then Went on to say that there are two kinds of money in a general sense in which .the word is used, oi^e being primary money and the other representative money or, as he would call it, for the purpose of debating,: crtedit money. This latter kind of nisoney is divided into paper money and token money, which includes copper money and nifckel five-cent pieces.

Mr. Harvey went back to the discussion of primary money, as a measure of values. In lo(J7, he declared, all the money in circulation was §18.28 per capita, and in 1872 it was $19.19 per capita and in these times ail money was primary money, the measure of values being paper itself. In 1894 we had a per capita circulation of $24.23. He then said: ".Now you will all say that the quantity of money in circulation affects prices. You have more money, primary and credit combined, in circulation in 1894, per capita, than you had in the two years named previous to 1873, and yet prices were higher than uow. Why? Because there was more primary money per capita in circulation at the two first named years than there is in the last named year, 1894. Of the $24 per capita in circulation in all money in. lt94, only about $6 is primary money, while in 1S67 and 1872 there was $18 primary monev in circulation per capita.

Mr. Horr said Mr. Harvey definition of primary money was money of redemption. Greenbacks had to be redeemed to make them good and they could not by auy hook or crook be con-.. strued into primarv money. Mr. H^rr then said': "Now'in 1879 we did return to specie payment, we did make our greenback and all our money as good as the best, ahd Brother Harvey ana hist whole crowd of followers and adherents were going up and down this country stating that if we undertook to enforce that act we would ruin the business of the country. I know they said it because I heard them do so dozens an^ dozens of times. They believed it just as Harvey does now."

Mr. Harvey—You did not hear me say it. Mr. Horr—Well, if you were old enough you said it. A man constituted as you are could not have said anything else.

Mr. Horr declared that the "stuff" he was preaching, as had been denominated by Mr. Harvey, was upheld by every civilised nation on the earth, and. only such countries as China, Mexico and Japan favored the silver standard.

Mr. Harvey denied that Mr. Horr was justified in calling him a greenbacker, and said that he believed iu gold and silver as primary money to the fullest extent under the bimetallic laws that governed it prior to 1873. In relation to the claim of Mr. Horr that all the civilized nations of the earth were in favor of the gold standard, Mr. Harvey said that ail the civilized nations oi the earth were at one time slave holding nations, and the individual slaveholder had made precisely the argument advanced by Mr. Horr. He then went back to credit and redemption money, and declared that credit money may be issued by the government with safety only in such quantity a.-' will not embarrass it iu case a run is made on the government for redemption. If the government requires redemption it can float bonds among, its own people, to the full amount necessary to obtain what primary moiiey it nepds. No goverurnent should borrow' frbm the people erf anoth^fr nation. To dd' so was a .confession 5f-mwiietary -weakness: No government, he declared, shotild issue credit money in quantity beyond the amount of jprimary moneys•ainOng1 its

Mr: Hon* announced that before proceeding to the question of the production of, silrer, he wanted to say a few words on the misleading nature of some of Mr. Harvey's statements.. on finance. He then attacked assertions made.by Mr. Harvey as to the assessed valuation of the national banks. He then declared that Mr Harvey was wandering from the question in debate, because he had several times declared that if "the mints of |Jie world" would give free and unlimited coinage to silver on a certain ratio it could be maintained. Mr. Horr said that was not the question to be considered at all, "jput whether after the entire civilized world has refused to use silver as money of final redemption and still refuses to use it, can the United States, single handed and alone, afford to put it upon a silver basis and join Mexico, (Jliili and Tripoli on this subject He then submitted the table of the product of gold and silver since 1874, taken from Mr. Harvey's booc, and added to it the mint reports of the product of 1893 and 1894. This table showed, Mr. Horr declared, that since 1874 the production of silver has been steadily on the increase, and that gold has since 1875 been also on the increase but while silver had increased in quantity three times daring that period, gold had only doubled iu quantity.

Near Jteeae, Thirty-Eight Miles W«»t of Toledo. TOLEDO, July 24.—Lake Shore and Michigan Southern train No. 37, due here at 11:10, in charge of Conductor Darling and Engineer held up and robbed at station 38 miles west of this morning.

The detective force from this city at once started for the scene on a special train and the country is being closely watched for suspicious persons.

DURANT AGAIN IN COURT.

The Change of Venue Bequest Not Yet Settled by Judge Murphy.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—The curious crowds were treated to another glimpse of Theodore Durant. charged with the brutal murders of Emanuel church, as he was taken from the county jail for the brief session of the superior court. The jurors were notified to be present on Thursday, when the district attorney will present affidavits in refutation of the defendant's allegation that he cau not have a fair trial in San Francisco.

The district attorney is confident the attempt to secure a change of venue will be defeated. Judge Murphy will give the motion careful consideration, but it is expected he will overrule it. The police are searching for a new witness whom it is alleged Durant insulted in the Emanuel church sometime previous to the Lamont and Williams murders.

MINE FIRE PUT OUT.

Now It Will Take Several Weeks to 1'iimp Out the Water.

ANGELS CAMP, Cal., July 24.—The water in the utioa liiiuB I.S nov oo xeet abovi3 tne «00 foot level of the Stickei compartment, where the lire commenced. The flooding process has practically ceased, as it is believed tne fire has been extinguished, but it is not certain.

In attempting to remove the bulkhead of the north shaft yesterday scores of men were overcome by the escaping gas. Those most seriously affected were taken to a private hospital. It is not apprehended that any fatalities will result. When it is definitely ascertained that the fire is out pumping will begin. It will probably require several weeks to get the water out. The company's loss will be enormous.

Vhc Fiwwpffra Were-Not Molested and the Robbers Ui.tappeared as Soon a» tlie Kxpr«M Money Was Secured—The Scene

Tier nan, was Reose, a small here at 12:40

They had pulled into a blind siding to allow a special to pass when the train was boarded by six masked men, who, at the point of revolvers, compelled the express messenger to unlock the safe and deliver the money. The amount taken from the car is not known, but is estimated by the express officials here at §8,000.

Superintendent Bodget and Manager Caniri:', who were in the city at the time, left at once on a special train for the scene of the robbery, notifying the police officials at all adjacent towns to be on the lookout for the robbers.

The officials are of the opinion that the robbery was committed by parsons in close touch with the employes of the road, as they had positive information as to the trains meeting on the siding and also of the unusually hour/ express run.

The train was composed of a day coach, a baggage and express car and three sleepers. As a usual thing tli money carried on this train t'oes no amount to much, but for some reason it was heavy last night.

The passengers in the coaches were not molested, and immediately ai:r completing their work the robbers took to the woods and disappeared.
