Chicago. July K. Two men met in a little
room at th.* Illinois Club this afternoon and
began a spirited content of national mo
ment, one lighting for silver and the other
for gold with all the intellectual powers,
facts and authorities at their command.
One of them was Roswell G. Horr, once a
ni'-nii>er of congress, from Michigan, now
an editorial writer for The New York Trib
unr, and the other was W. H. Harvey, ot
Chicago, author ot "Coin’a Financial
ScbOoL" Mr. Horr championed the cause ot
gold, while Mr. Harvey threw down the
gauntlet for silver.
The privilege of being present at this mo*
mentous contest was accorded to few. There
uer** s*"ats for about *uu persons in the as
sembly room of the clubhouse, but only a
little over halt that number were pres
ent.
A man with a watch sat near the speak
ers. and whenever one had spoken eight
minutes he would tap loudly on a call bell.
This gave the speaker warning that he had
two minutes more to conclude his state
ment. By these Btag’ Mus ten minutes each
the speaker* will proceed for eight days,
using only thv afternoons and resting Hun*
u«ys.
Rules of thr llrbnlr.
Dr. Hom* r Thomas, presiden* of the Illi
nois Clul calle*! the ass«*mhlage to order,
bihtly » ‘ting forth th* objects of the de
bate. li introduced Hon. 11. G. Miller and
ea-Judge William A. Vlnc*nt, both of Chi

which had the b< st of the novel debate.

ROSWELL G. HOUR.
The debate was start. I by Mr. Horr,
who referred to the author of "Coms
Financial S liooi” with some severity. Ha
d h* n* \* r read a book mukiug so many
misstatement a.
Mr Harvey. In his opning statement,
contented hints* If with a pres* ntation of
his plan of campaign and told what he

Then the fjm ik« rs plun-« «l at once Into

all inuvi wus wry spirited, and both
speakers bad hard work to preserve th* ir

llnrvtj'M Opening.
In bu opening stat* m* nt, Mr. Harvey
1 .aid:
, "I am here to def* nd th*- facts and
prmcipl. shi ‘Coin’s Financial iSvhool.’ 1
am aware that the illusiiations in that
book an? a gn at aid in presenting < learly
its vi«-ww. We And this true in our
Hcbuuls. Msny scientlhr works rely large

ld«as that could not otherwise clearly
express*<l. And yet, 1 am lure to defend
orally those sam* prim* pie*. I expect to
iuak«* go*»d in this debut* the following
propositions
"1. That silver an! gold are the money
of the corstitution; that the silv«r dollar
was th- unit ts v.luo In our coinage sys
tem in this country from 17?.‘ to IX7J, Just
as the yardstick was the in** asurv of

that th* option was with the debtor to pay

to s«4l either for l« s than a *1 > \ r.
•That the option to pa> in e.iher metal
caused the cheap* r of the two metals to
Im* used, transferred the d» snand from

Harvey Deflnra Money.
Mr. Horr thought he had not succeeded
n gaining much information. Pursuing his
‘iscussion of what constituted money and
vhat its functions were, Mr. Horr elicited
'■uni Mr. Harvey this statement:
•Monefy is a medium of exchange and
measure of values. As a measure of
dues it s a thing representing value,
hen ue express price, we have reference
» the unit of value or its equivalent. With
»ld and silver in existence as primary
.oncy there is double the quantity of
:»“>noy, real money, as there is when gold
only is in existence as primary money.
Money is also a medium of exchan :•*.
"What is meant by that is this: Instead
of exchanging one property for another
property we exchange it for the money, and
money being by law and usage a common
medium of exchange, we are thus able to
exchange it for the other property desired.
Wo exchange property for money and then
exchange the money for the properly or
for services. To understand the impor
tance of money we must consider the con
ditions that would exist if we had no
money. It would then be a matter of bar
ter and exchange—of one kind of property
for another. The men of today do not un
derstand money and its relation to prop
erty and to society, if they did we would
not be engaged in this discussion Under
this last head comes the question whether
all money should be issued the govern
ment or all or part of it should tic issued
by private parties arid corporations. The
necessity for money, the fact that it is
the organic fluid of sovi« tv, should make

/ b> any one should be pcrni.tt* I."
(Long and continued applause.)
Mr. Horr—There is quite a large portion
of that essay that is true, indeed, 1 think
there is more truth in that r’.mp!short
■ tat* incnt than can be found in the whole
of Coin's school. It is true that money is
the l.fc bloe l us common e and of bus -
ness. It is not true that money can exist
only when it is created by law. Mon* y
was in use and well understood l ing bes *r»-
there Were any laws upon th subject
Money does not have to be mad- a legal
tender to make it good ni >n*?y ev n; this
is a mistake of Brother Hervey. A- a
rule, legal tender laws are never needed
except to make somebody take some
money that Is poor. No one ever yet had
to enforce a legal tender »n i-iinent io get
somebody to t tlo the best moo y in exist
ence. People will take whit is best whe -
ever they can get it, ind you don’t have
I to have a legal statute to tiiak*' them do
I it, you knew. Indeed, you may pus all
| the ugai statutes you pl'.is© in <••■ tain
| directions as to money, and the people will
: go r -;lit along and use the -oinnioa rules
of busim s in spite of your laws.
The debate then drifted from the hg.il
tender feature of money issues to iegi.da

■ Chicago, July 20. After a day’s rest for
the participants, the 1 lurr-llai v*-y debate
• was resume*! at 1 o’clock Uns afternoon.
• “I wish to say,” began Mr. Harvey, “that
1 1 have not in the pi-ogress of this debate
yet made any charges against the integrity
I of t'p* American people, but 1 Ho not in
! tend that those who are corrupt in high
places shall escape criticism by throwing
i aiound them as a cloak the integrity ui
I the American iieople.”
I The discussion of the act of 1573, by which
silver was demonetized, was then taken
I up, Mr. Butter s part in the transaction
J ing tiie subject. The author us “t’ -iu
j quoted freely form the Congressional Rec
ord to show that Mr. Hooper. of .Ma >a
ehusetts, moved to dispense with the read
| Ing of the substitute bill demonetizing sil
ver. “Here was an attempt,” sa.d Mr. liar
I vey, “to legislate on the life blood of a
I nation without reading the bill.”
! .Mr. Hurr said before he began his opening
’ vatument tor the day that he wanted tu
against something Mr. Harvey had
about him -lay before yesterday. Mr.
had then stated that whenever Mr.
n not reply to his arguments he
..e it for granted he could not rt-

.ar. Horr then devoted himself to a de
fense of Mr. Hoopers action in regard to
a the bill of 1673.
I it was now Mr. Harvey’s turn again, and
I ho continued reading from the Congrcs
’ m.-nal Record on the passage of the sub
stitute advocated by Mr. Hooper. In reply
« to a question Mr. Hooper hud said the bill
made no changes in the existing coinage
laws. {Shortly afterward—within th** hour
the bill was passed without being read.
Mr. Harvey now went into the senate
history of the bill. Senator Sherman, he
alleged, and made frequent citations from
the records in proof ol his assertions, made
repeated attempts to accelerate action on
the bill whtxi the matter was fit t brought
up in the senate, and to convince the other
senators that the bill was one of no im
p triance whatever and they n» ed not give
over an hour altogether to its consideration,
“And in these tnings,” continued the speak
er, “he succeeded.”
Ii Utor Horr denied that undue haste had
been made in the passage of the bill In ei
ther tiie senate or the house, and defied .Mr.
Harvey to produce any pixtof that there
was anything hidden about the bill.

W. A Shaw’s history ot the currency in

show that the subject was being agitated
bj the civilized nations of the world. All
the nations except Holland declared in

s.-ssions. It was after this action in which
the United States participated that the

by the h tter which was recently found
among the pap rs of the late Congressman
Hooper, written by Scyd in reply to Mr.

b her in i« it n:i«l Nryil <'«»•» vlete*!.
Mr. Harvey—The report of the monetary
conference at Paris i.’i 1X.7 will c«»ntra<lict
the history that Mr. Horr lift.- read from.
As to Erncbt Seyd and a letter found
among Mr. >loop**r’s effects since he and
Seyd died, it rcmimis me of this: BupiH.se
in tiie years tu come one would tay that
John G. Uarlisle is a bimetallist and in proof
of It read from Mr. (’ar’isle’s sp»«ch “the
den onetizailon of silver is the greatest ;
crime of the ages and its consequences
for evil are greater than all the floods
ami tires and pitlleuc< s of the past.”
Would that prov that Mr. Uarlisle was a
bimetallist at a particula r tinm wii n t-ome
tting might be charged against him when
he acted as secretary of th • treasury under
Mr. Cleveland? If that S'*yd letter, d’sen- '
tembed by’ the St. lx>uix fii nds and family*
ot Mr. H.xu>er, was to prov rnvthing it
would prove that Mr. Hooper fals'lte*! w h<»a
he said that he I ad submitted that bill t<> j
distinguished experts and they had all
agreed it was the prop* r thing to do.
In reviewing th • history of the bill in
the st t ate. where it was culled up by Mr.
Sherman, he said:
“It is evident that it was the
intention of Senator Sherman to '
convince the senate that no eanefu! consld- I
* ration of the bill was necessary ami in I
this tie succeeded, as appears from some- j
thing Senator Casserly said dur ng a dis- j

Mr. Horr A provision has been intro- |

out of it and subst luted the tr.uk? dollar |
