CHICAGO, July 30.—The last day of the Horr-Rarvey debate opened yesterday afternoon. The day's attack was directed at the question of the feasibility of independent action by the United States for the remonetization of silver and its free an unlimited coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, regardless of the acts of other nations. Mr. Harvey arguing for such action, Mr. Horr against it.

The discussion was opened by Mr. Horr who declared it was useless to try to fix the relative value of any two substances by legislation. Suppose congress should try to fix the relative value of a bushel of wheat and a bushel of oats. As soon as one of them had a large crop, up would go the ratio and legislation by the nations of the whole world would not maintain the ratio any more than it would make water run up hill. The law of gravity would stand in the way, it was so in the matter of ratio between silver and gold.

Mr. Harvey quoted estimates as to the consumption of gold for a moment in Mie arts and otherwise, one for hoarding, to the effect that these uses equalled, if they did not exceed the production, so that the amount of that metal for coinage was at a standstill or decreasing-

Resuming his argument and referring to Mr. Harvey's statement that the remonetization of silver would reduce debts by one-half, Mr. Horr said that by far the largest part of the debts in the United States were less than one year old. The long time debts were those of large corporations. The short time debts were contracted under the existing gold basis and to reduce them one-half would be to repudiate them one-half. Mr. Harvey's proposition would simply result in silver monometallism. It nad been thought that it was possible to clip money without injuring anybody. That has been proved fallacious. He declared that cheap money could not be substituted for ^ood money •without injuring the mass ot the people. The people who would profit by such a (Change would not be the rich, but the money changers.

Mr. Harvey returned to his cube argument, declaring it was a valuable object lesson. It showed that the •Rothschilds could corner the gold of the world in their vaults. Who was it that clipped the coins in 1875? Who was it that established a robber standard Resuming his argument, Mr. Harvey said that the gold advocate feared that debts contracted in gold would be paid in silver and the man who lias stipulated to pay gold would have to buy it at a premium. This was fallacious. As soon as silver was remoni'ti/eil no man could stipulate for payment, gold the demand for gold would decrease at the same time the demand lor silver would increase, and soon the differences between the metals would be wiped out soon the purchaser would be able to get more in gold for what he ad to sell than now. He declared that it was not the stamp on the coin which gave it value, but tue .making of a new use and new demand for it. If at the next general election a bimetallic congress should be elected, the rubicon uid be passed the next day silver wouid at once begin to appreciate and gold to depreciate and they would beat a parity before the meeting of congress, and as the greenback dollar became equal in value to the gold dollar before the resumption act came into iorce.

Mr. Horr, resuming, reiterated the statement that size had nothing to do with value. A diamond worth $1,000,000 could be put into a quail's egg. He then continued his enumeration of the .classes of people who declared would be ruined by cheapening the measure of value.

Referring.to the advance in wages of domestic servants Mr. Harvey said, that since the demonetization women had been forced to work for their living because their fathers and brothers were out of work. This had reduced the number of women available for domestic service, and, wages for such service had remained firni or advanced. Taking up his argument Mr. Harvey said that under free coinage gold would, decline while silver and everything would advance. He claimed that if all the gold and silver in the world were •sent to our mints fQr coinage it ..would be to the benefit of .'the United States and. the injury of .the rest,of the world. Money in circulation made' business, he -said, just as. life clde? "not make blood, -but blood makes life.

The trouble,' Mr. Horr declared, Was that with free silver coinage, gold would i'leave the country and our business

jwould

be on a- basis different from the

Test of the world. He argued that there was enough gold in the World for the rftransay&jon oP legitimate business and ,av, ,tlie ayxiual output of the mines of the f?'. /world was large enough to meet the increase of the world's business. In proof of this lie quoted the increasing -v production of Africa, Russia, India,

Australia and the United States and the ^opening of new and rich mines. Since 1850 the, supply.-of.igold in-the world 'had increased from about seven millions .£'„of dollars to over .twelve billions,

JI /with indications of continued rapid inf^Jfcrease. .. Mr. Harvey said that any one who ^iad occasion to look into the question of reports of the output of mines would not be startled by Mr. HOIT'S big figures. He then quoted the statistics of

India under the silver standard, showing a steady growth till the balance of •trade turned in his favor in 1873. He •declared that to their use of silver and our comparative disuse of it was what 1 Jiad given such impetus to India, Japan and Mexico. He declared he was in favor of independent action by this country, because it would right a great wrpng because its continuance would wfnjnrft more because this nation should te independent of Europe because we .should be free from tribute-paying to

Qreat Britain because our power is suf^ic^n^ to compel Europe to come to our Standard in order to do business with X&4*9' International balances were settled .0^ _•

by weight, anyhow. There Was nonsuch thing as international money, Mr. Horr then 'proceeded to argue in behalf of the single standard form money, saying that stability was its chief merit, and a stable measure could not be maintained with two standards. Why, he asked, take the ratio of 16 to 1, doubling, as claimed, the value of all prosperity. Why not go back to the standard of Rameses II, 4 to 13. The whole theory was fallacious. The coin must be intrinsically worth its face.

Mr. Harvey said that money could not be classed with weights and measures. The bimetallist relied on two metals, and under that standard it was more stable than a single standard. As the pendulum of the clock was made of two metals to counteract each other, so the standard of money should be double, acting each on the other and preventing fluctuations. Free coinage in the United States would establish a parity and then gold would be found here. The man abroad who had not silver would have gold. If the United States would take its stand it would prove itself stronger than Great Britain. France had promised to stand by us, Mexico and South America would be with us combined they would force Europe to recognize silver.

Mr. Horr said that silver had had its day as the money of final redemption. It would continue, however, to be used as subsidiary money. Gold was the standard of the world and had come to stay.

Mr. Horr closed by thanking Mr. Harvey for the uniformly courteous treatment which he had received from his opponent during the discussion.

Mr. Harvey, rising for his closing address, said the "United States was the chief producer of silver until 1873 it was the most sacred metal of our coinage it was the measure of our values. In 1873 it was struck down as Caesar was, by the dagger of an assassin. The g°ld standard men had set up a standard founded on a crime as a standard for the morals of the nation.

Mr. Harvey then proceeded to denounce the president's foreign and financial policy and declared that the friends of silver were fighting the battle of the people the world over. On their success depended the liberties of the masses. Oppression had driven the liberty-loving into its last stronghold. There was nothinsbeyond except the islands of the Pacini? He declared that a second declaration of independence in the United States was needed, and proceeded to recount the story of the signing of the declaration of independence in Philadelphia and the ringing of the bell by the old watchman with much dramatic effect.

The answering questions was the final act in the controversy.

STORM IN ST. LOUIS.

One Life Iiost and Considerable Damage Done to Property, ST. LOUIS, July 30.—This city was visited by a terrific thunderstorm yesterday that raged for more than an hour. The rain fell in sheets, flooding the streets and sewers of the West End and two brick houses in conrse of erection were completely demolished. A number of men were at work on them when the wind and rain came up. They barely escaped with their lives. One of them, George W. Bennett, an employe of the Missouri Roofing company, was thrown violently from liis position on the roof of the house and fell to the ground, sustaining serious injury about the head and body. He was removed to the city dispensary.

In failing the houses fell on to the residence of John AV. McClain and did considerable damage.

The rain was the hardest on record for two years. For live minutes the water fell at the rate of six inches an hour. In six minutes the government rain gauge showed a fall of .:-i8 of an inch. In the West End it rained .55 of an inch in the same time. It rained steadily for nearly three-quarters of an hour. Just before the breaking of the storm an ugly looking rain cloud, round in shape, hanging very low, passed over the city from the northwest. The storm was entirely local. In different parts of cities telephone and telegraph wires were blown down.

Arthur Labee, the 11-year-old son of Mrs. Mary Labee, 426 Espenshield avenue, came by his death as a result of the wind and rainstorm. He picked up a live wire that had been broken and thrown to the street by the wind. Death was instantaneous.

Over 100 telegraph poles were disabled by the storm. The telephones are all protected by fuses and lightning arresters and the lightning burned out the fuses. It will be a couple of days before they can be gotten into working order. The- Western Union and Postal wires fared better than was expected. The railroad wires were down in a few places and worked badly for a time, but the.5trouble was of minor importance.

Murder in a Saloon.

COLUMBUS, O., July 30.—As a result of- a grudge of long standing, James Leonard, who keeps a saloon and grocery at State and Sandusky streets, on the West Side, shot and killed William Welsh last night. Welsh was at Leonard's saloon, when a little trouble arose and Leonard shot Welsh twice and then struck him over the head with the revolver. The. police took Welsh's remains to the morgue.and Leonard was taken to the city prison, charged with murder. Mrs. Leonard was mixed, up in the affair, it being charged that she and Welsh were too friendly to suit Leonard, who was jealous.

Mrs. Corbett Will Get "Her Divorce. NEW YORK, July 30.—Referee Edward Jacobs has decided that Mrs. Ollie Corbett is entitled to an absolute divorce from her husband, and will so report to Judge McAdam in the superior court. With reference to the question of alimony, Referee Jacobs says that is a matter which the parties have agreed to among themselves. He recommended that Corbett's agreement to pay his wife $100 a week be accepted.

VEEDERSBURG, Ind., July 30.—News has just reached here of a shooting and robbery. Last Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, James Hesler, one of the wealthiest and best respected citizens of this county, was shot and robbed of $64. Mr. Hesler lives about four miles south of this city. At the hour named, Mrs. Hesler was awakened by some one moving about the house, and when Mr. Hesler sprang up he was met by a burglar armed with a revolver, who demanded his money.

Instead of complying, the old gentleman grabbed the burglar by the hand in which he was holding a revolver, and a desperate struggle followed. Tlie burglar succeeded in firing one shot, which missed its aim. Soon after he fired another shot, which struck Mr. Hesler just atove the right nipple, and ranged upward. The wounded man continued the struggle, however, all the while trying to tear off' the black mask worn by the burglar, but after reaching the outside of the house the fellow broke loose and fired again. This shot also went wild. He then escaped.

Physicians report that Mr. Hesler is seriously,*if not fatally, wounded, the bullet striking the lung. No arrest have been made. The robbery is thougho to be the work of home talent. The mask and the pants belonging to Mr. Hesler were found a short distance froia the house. The wounded man is the father of Hon. Clinton Hesler, who has served two terms as representative from this county.

CIGARETTE HABIT.

It Contributes to the Death of a Telegraph Operator. BEDFORD. Ind., July 30.—Rock Green, a well known telegraph operator, who lived with his mother, a widow, in this city, was found Sunday in a vacant lot, in a sitting position, almost unconscious from an overdose of morphine. He had been dissipating, and had laid out Saturday night. Green was ail habitual cigarette smoker, using great quantities every day, and often getting up in the night to smoke. This is Wapposed to have been the prime cause of his death, which occurred some hours after his removal home.

When the cigarettes began to pall on his taste he resorted to laudanum and opium for the desired stimulation. The young man was 20 years old. Until a short time ago he was in the employ of the Indiana-Kentucky Bridge company at New Albany. Previous to his death it required the strength of several men to control him.

Three strange men were seen loitering about the town last Friday night, and it is presumed that they committed, the burglary.

The Way Tour Boy Works. "When Mr. Dumley came home and found the lawn unmowed, he was mad. "Where's that lazy, good for nothing boy?" ho called, charging into the house.

"I set him to work mowing the yard 'fore I left home this morning, and he hasn't cut two streaks. Where's he been?" "William has been very busy indeed," Mrs. Dumley sweetly answered. "Shortly after you left he went over and helped the Mclntyre boys weed their garden, then he ran four errands for Mrs. Williams, and since then he has been assisting the Levensaler children pile wood. I think, from all accounts, that he is the hardest working boy on the street."
