Mr. Harvey Uf^nn with a vindication of the im

Mr, Horr did not reply directly t > this, hut took
up Mr. Harvey's FtiUement of yesterday that
only one error had been found In his ?a irk. sav?
ing that there Brere mvr'.a Is of mlsstate
r.ients, not In expr?s? statements of facts, but
by false implicati..n, which any man Of senee
would r?pudi?t" on sight. At this point Mr.
Horr created great laughter st the tapeoM of
Mr. Harvev by saying that h<? did not deny that
hi? opp Dent r.-lieved all he hail written. As a
matter of fact, it was impoaatble for him to tell
whr-.t a man in Hr. Harvey's siate of mind might
bScspsblool hcileving Th?? ??tatem? nt In Coin's
rfnaneta? School" that every ounce of silver
produced up to the present time had c .st pro?
ducers $2 an ounce was scouted by Mr. Horr. If
the mine.owners had h vn producing silver at
this cost and selling It as th.-v bad been ?loin*", at
$1 2d to ?7 cent? an ounce, th"v had lost by the
transact! <n during th?? ?ast tnre?? years some
Bje.OOO.OOO.
The next point of attack was the statement
on pat;.? SI Of Harvey*? b ? 'k that th?? people of
this count?") ?"-" annually paying to England
$2?>0.0<)0,i?00 in Interest on national and private
bonds. Mr, Horr lenlcd ll - ; ; rtttou flatly,
and challenged any one t ? produce evidence that
th? Indebtnesa of the people of thla country ?>
i.ll the nations of Fur p.? involved anything
like su? h an amount of Interest
Th?? dehnte was adjourn.??,! until 1 o'clock on

Mr H?rr's opening statement was a? follows*
"'???f?'. Mask ?v ?:? >. uauh ?

vey, roti aay ;
"It Is estimai?! by all men of jU'lgmcnt Who gave
mention to mining that th?? silver
now In existence he? coal not lasa than H per ounce,
and many put it much higher." I deny that men
of judgment and ??; cla m an?, such thing,
? aasen that ?very man of an) common sens?? who
has studied this question kn wa instantly that that
statement is noi true; know? .listanti) that silver
haa not cost that much for production, because
sliver has bean constantly Increasing in predite?

down ? .*?" cents an ounce, and the p-op!e ,,f th?
world never keep constantly pt*oduclsg ?n article

According to thla statement, th? silver mm-?

think there is some truth in that, and whenever
silver mining srets so that th?? m-n lose at the rats
of almost 00,000,000 a year th??y will stop ?diver
mining.

Again, Mr. Harvey says in hi? book: "There is In
the world now. according te the report of Um De
rector of our Mint. U.VtMii,M la fold and HIM,?
RUM in silver." The Mini l'Ite, tor didn't ?i ve that
as the amount of 'Iver and go!?! in tlie world at
nil. The Director of the Mint gave simply the
amount Of coin supposed to be then in ?StStenca
