A Story From Jamaica.
ONE MAN'S EXPERIENCE WITH
DYSPE SIA.
Pood DlatrrsartT Illra Jlla Heart tVas la
A Precarton Condition.
From Brooklyn, X. Y. Time:)
There is no secret now as to what was the
matter with George J,. B.-rpen of Jamaica,
h. I. His friend thought he hail gone into
a decline, and possibly, had heart disease.
And -no doubt lie did; but it all came from
the dyspepsia, and aiuce that lias been
cured, lua heart disease has disappeared alao.
He told a reporter of the Tin what cured
him the other day, and hit conversation is
repeated here:
" The trouble was with my digestive sys
tem, and with my heart. As a consequence,
fir nearly fix years 1 was unable to enjoy a
meal. To partake of fresh bread, cukes,
piet, or any kind of pastry was out of the
question. A small portion of food of this
character would jrive me untold airony. So
I had t without it. My trouble steadily
increased, despite all my efforts tt check it.
I took all sorts of medicines prescrilied by
physicians, with n perceptible abatement
of the dimrder. Finally inv heart became
involved, and occasionally f would be dis
turbed with tumultuous beating and palpi
tation. Worse than all, feeliiifr of oppres
sion and snfFtc-ation would ensue, and some
time the heart action would b" suspended.
I onfess I was very mueh alurmed when
those symptom manifested themselves, and
St times 1 lapsed into a state of titter despair.
"One pvpnin? last fall, I noticed in the
Brooklyn Tun's an account of a rem trkable
cure eft'-etu l by the use of lr. Williams'
Fink I'ills for Pale People. I was pale and
th it f.iet helped to awaken my interest in
the nnnouneement, which I read through
carefully. A day or two later n mmilar
narrative appeared with relerenec to the
Iiiils, the Kyinptoms of the person rured
iein? similar to my own. Th.U settled the
question fir me. The next in irnin? I
proe-jrej a b ix, and before 1 had taken half
of them 1 ctperi-necd decided relief. I
Continued the pills and my improvement
w is rapid, until now I can eat with impu
nity wir.it my appetite suifzests, without re
gard to time or amount, rn reason of course,
and the functional disturbances of the heart
har? disappeared. I have always bad heart
trouble, but it lias been creatlv relieved by
the use of the Pink I'il.'s. 1 consider my
self cured of the stomach trouble. Anr one
having the symptoms I huve deserilied may
take the pills with the utmost confidence of
their bringing relief." Mr. Bewn is an

Copyrlsbt l"s b,- Azel F. Hateh J
The fifth day of the Harvry Horr dc
Dr.to began with the chairman. Judge
Miller, on tho iloor. He simply requested
tho audienco to respect the rights of tho
debaters, there bavins been on the part
of a portion of tho audieuce an inclina
tion to interrupt occasionally, llcrr then
began the debate by declaring that all
attempts to fix tho ratio between silver
and gold had been failures. A difference
between the legal and commercial ratios
of i of 1 per cent had been sufficient to
drive the dearer metal out of any civilized
country. It had been so In this country.
Gjld was the dearer money up to 1Sj4
and it left us; silver was the dearer alter
1&31 and it led us, so that in U03 congress
bad to pass a law making the smaller
silver coins much less weight In silver.
"Coin" bad said in bis book that France
had bid for our silver by establishing a
higher ratio tborofor, but c ranee bad
made that ratio li.'itol in IS a when
our ratio was 15 to 1 and she got no silver
from us up to io31. He gave a review of
the history of the ratio of France, and
said that gold hod been made the stand
ard of the wli jlo civilized world because
it was believed to be mure stable in value
than silver and for other less important
reasons.
"llrvey said that when he replied to the
above his answer would be complete, but
he desrired to talk further about tho de
monetization act. lie quoted the Mor
rill lot tcr read by Horr at the previous
debate. In HaiY.-y's quotation Morrill
says: "None (.silver dollars har ng
been coined for forty years," ana Harvey
referred u the mint report showing thtt
Morrill was mistaken, ih:ro huv.ng been
several millions of silver dollars colued in
the forty years pi ior to 1873. Harvey im
puted falsehood to Morrill because bciWns
a bank stockholder and the truth would
not huve served Morrill's interosts.
liorr czpluined that Morrill was not
writing an essay on tho number of. silver
dollars coined iu that time, but denying
tho talk of trau 1 in tho passage of this
demonetization act; thoro had been only
3.0oj,0JO of them coined while the amount
of gold was several hundred millions,
said Horr: "senator Morrill simply used
tho expression 'There were none coined
and Mr. Harvey draws the conclusion
that because that ts not accurately true,
he cannot tell tha truth abou'. anything
else."
He then went on: " Doctor Lindcrman
gives the value of the silver dollar each
year from l&ol to IsTo in the Census lie
pore According to that table, at no
time was the silver dollar between ltwi
and 187' worth less than IW.-J cents, tho
highest was in lSj'J when in was worth
V)j.2i. This "Coin" calls a slight varia
tion." Harvey thoi began the discussion ot bi
metallism and said: "Sciuntifiu bimetal
ism is this: "L Free and unlimited coin
age of both cold and silver; these two
ruetuls to constitute tha primary or re
demption money ot tho government.
"-J. 'that silver dollars of 31'4 grains of
pure silver (with us) to be tne unit of
vaiui, and gold to lie coined into money
at a rutio to be changed if necessary from
t mo to time If tho commercial parity to
tiie l-'gal ratio shall be affected by tho ac
tion of foreign countries.
"3. The money coined from both metals
to be legal tender in the payment of all
debts.
"4. The option as to which of the two
moneys is to bo paid in the liquidation of
the debt to rest with tho debtor, and tho
government also to exorcise that option
when desirable in paying out redemption
U-0 ley.
"All of these conditions are necessary.
Like any useful mechanical construction
all the parts are necessary. First, as to
unlimited cotnnge: When the mints are
open to unlimited coinage of the two
metals an unlimited demand Is created
for them. The quantity is limited. When
these two metals seek a market they find
a demand for their use In the arts and
manufacture, which is limited. Tha
surplus U.ids an unlimited market at the
mints to be coined into money, the ob
ject (or which all other products seek the
market. They thus have an unlimited
market, as the mints are opjn to all that
comes. It is a question of supply and de
mand. "With a limited supply and unlimited
demand, what stops their value rising?
It is this: The law says, 'We coin
'i'l'i grains pure sliver and 3.9
gruius pure gold, res pec tively. Into
dollars, and confer upon these coins
tut. clous which make for them a
permanent and equal demand.' When
this is tho law people will not take less
for their silver and gold, the quantities
above named, than a dollar in current
n.oney. for thry have the right to have it
coined into dollars.
"This unlimited demand for tho two
metals existed in all the world at ratios
one to the other up to lsl'l, when Eng
land closed her mints to silver. The de
maud thus made fixed the commercial
vaiue of the two metals at tho ratio fixed
by law. England closing her mints bad
practically no effect. It was designed to
do so and was the beginning ot the raove
meut intended to limit the quantity of
primary money to one of the metals and
correspondingly decrease the value of the
other metal.
"I now make a part of my remarks an
official tablo taken from page 10a of
compiled laws and coinage statistics, an
official document from Washington,
showing the commercial ratio of the two
metals for 2 JO years, to which I have add
ed the commercial ratio for laH. From
this table it will bo seen that under the
effect of unlimited coinage up to 1873 a
parity between the two metals was main
tained at the legal ratio. Cast your eyes
up and down these columns and see how
evenly the commercial ratio kept pace
with the legal ratio. Th ratio of France,
the largest nation commercially during
that period having a bimetallic ratio, was
the governing influence, which was 15!
to I; ours was 13 to 1 till 134, then Id
toL"
The table showed that from 1687 to 1872.
inclusive, the ratio varied between 1111
and 15.W, being 11 91 in lGU? and 15 63 In
1S72. As prepared by Harvey the rise to
15 uc In 1373 and up to 156 in lSUi is
marked "Demonetization."
Horr then took up tha argument, say
ing: "All these inquiries about tba val
uation la. Jh ratio ot the past are of little
account in this aebata. This ons fact t
admitted by Coin and disputed bv no one:
All the civilized nations of the world
nave ceased the free coinage of silver
npon any ratio. Silver today has no free
coinage in any country where gold Is the
standard, msa only In such countries as
are using stiver as the unit and measure
of value. It matters little how such a
state of affairs has been established sines
it is the ezisttng fact. Silver is cheap.
We both agree to that.
"No coins which are of less value than
the market values of the metals in them
would indicate are ever treated as the
measure of ultimata redemption, nor
ever passed current at their face value,
except they are redeemable in money
which is worth as much coined as un
coined. Now "Coin' in bis 'Financial
School' really admits that the ratio be
tween the two metals must always be
determined by the actual value of the
metals in the markets of the world, and
Ignores the doctrine of the ratio of 16 to 1
being possible at the present day. On
page 111 "Coin says: 'We express val
ues in dollars, the unit of our monetary
system. That unit Is the gold dollar of
23.2 grains of pure gold, or 2... 8 grains of
standard gold. If we were to cut this
amount in two, and make 1) 6 grains
a unit or a dollar we would there
by double the value of all tho property
in the United States except debts.'
''Is not that statement wisdom for you
in chunks? What a head that boy must
have. Precisely such another proposition
would be: We measure cloth in this coun
try, legally, with a yard stick thirty-six
inches long. It we were to cut the yard
stick iu two and declare by law that
eighteen Inches shall hereafter bo a yard
we would there Ly double the amount of
cloth in the United States. Holy Moses 1
What a philosopher we have here. Then
cut it in two again and tho cloth would
be quadrupled. If the boy had said that
by cutting tho gold dollar into two pieces
and then changing our unit or dollar so
that It should be only half as valuable as
it is now we would double tho nominal
value of all tho property in the world, but
would not affect its actual valuo in the
least, ha would have told the truth.
"Before Mr. Harvey finishes his book
ho discloses what he ronlly meant by bi
metallism. We have it here in his own
language, and it Is In this book that I
find the principles which 1 am called npon
in this debato to combat. The author
says: 'The objection to Independent bi
metallism is that the parity between tho
two metals cannot be maintained at our
ratio of Id to 1, that is, the gold '3 S
grains in the gold dollar will be worth
tnoro than the sliver 371 grains in
the silver dollar; wo have twice changed
the quantity of gold in the gold dollar,
each time making it less. If the commer
cial valuo of 23 2 grains of gold is worth
moro than the commercial value of STl'Z
grains of pure silver then reducj to 22
grains, 21, 20 grains of less, If necessary,
t put the two at a ratio where tho prac
t cal effect of free coinage, when once &ot
to working again, will demonstrate that
tho ratio is at its natural point and parity
easily obtained.'
"And then again on page 113 he says:
with silver romoneti2.il and a just and
rquitablo standard of values wo can, it
necossary by act of congress, reduce the
number of grains in a gold dollar till It
is of the samo valuo as the silver dollar.
We cuu legislate tho premium out ot
gold.' Now then, what becomes of his
ratio of W to 1?"
Harvey's reply was as follows: "Mr.
Horr alludes to something that I have
said before and then adds, "Cut the
yard stick half in two and it will moke
twice as many yards of cloth in the
world.' Now, Mr. Horr, lot me tell you
what you people did in Ih'i. You
doubled the length of the yard stick.
For instance, let me illustrate It. Sup
pose one-half of the gold in tho world
were destroyed today beyond recovery,
would not the gold dollars that were left
bo twice as valuable as they were before?
Mr. Horr is not a bad pupil and shakes
his head. Let mo illustrate it in another
way that every farmer In this country
will understand. Suppose that one-half
of the wheat in the world today were de
stroyed beyond recovery. Mr. Horr,
would not wheat on tho Chicago market
tomorrow be about double in value what
it is today? You cannot escape that
proposition, and it does not require a
man to bo a farmer to understand the il
lustration and any man who is a business
man will understand tho gold illustra
tion. "So that when you destroyed one-half tha
redemption money in lt?3 you doubled
tho value of the money that was left.
You doubled ' the yard stick. - You can
sco no harm in destroying tho price of a
man's property, cutting tho price of bis
property half in two; you shut your eyes
to that. But yonr eyes are wide open
when any man proposes to even up with
you In your cutting-in-half process by
proposing to cut tho gold dollar half in
two. We don't wish to do either. We
wish to put back In tho coinage system
the money that you demonetized in lt73."
Then referring to tho table of ratios
from ltte? to lt&l he said the whole of the
variation of said ratio when "the world
practically had fimetnllism" was made
by the cost of exchange.
"It is possible," said Horr, in reply,
"that my friend Harvey believes it when
he says the act of IS73 cut the price of tho
property of tho world in two, and that
prices immediately, as they must have
done if their statement is true, dropped
fifty per cent. You destroy one-half the
wheat in the world and the chances are
that you will increase the value of wheat
probably four times such is the estimate
of po litical economists; but wheat is an
article that people eat to live, It is all con
sumed from year to year, or after a short
time. Gold has b?en accumulating for
ages, and if you should destroy the pri
mary money quality ot half the gold in
the world you would not change the price
of the metal one-half. As soon as the
price would go up there Is an enormo-s
store laid away all over the entire world
that is not being used for money purposes,
that would at once seek the channels and
bj coined into money and take the place
of the money that had been destroyed.
What 'Coin is really after isacuoup
dollar. He would reduce at one stroke, if
need be, the value of the money unit of
this country one-half. If that is not
adopting a 60-cent dollar what Is It?
Now I am here to protest against the
whole scheme because it Is an effort to
cheapen labor. I care not in what part of
the world you seek for examples you will
find that civilization Is the highest where
the best wages are paid for human effort,
both mental and physical. The real meas
ure of values is human toil. To decide
whether any system of finances Is best
sou must inauire into its effect uoou the
toning millions, xne greatest commocuiy
ever placed on the markets of the world
is labor. To know whether gold has ap
preciated or depreciated in real value the
price paid for any human effort must
never be omitted. When the laws of na
tore through mechanical devices are com
pelled to do the work formerly done by
human hands, three results should fol
low: The product should be cheapened
for the consumers of the world, the wages
X the men who still labor in that proluc
tlon should be increased, and the profits
of the promoter of the enterprise, or the
inventor 01 tne improvement, should bo-
come greater."
Harvey rejoined: "Mr. Horr. we do not
Intend to let you before tbe American
people cloak yourself behind the laboring
man. There have been free schools in
this country for many rears, and you are
not going to fool the laboring men of this
country. Mr. Horr aski me about prices.
wfcy they did not drop suddenly SO per
cent. In l'lra wneu sliver was demonetized.
The reply to that is this: We were not
then on a specie basis. We began again
in lbTs); the demand for gold was not
tnrown on it to answer the entire purpose
of primary money until lsTtt, and then it
was cushioned in this country by the dls-
putea position ot silver.
"He says my illustration about half
tbe gold being destroyed is not like tho
wheat if one-half of that were suddenly
destroyed, in this wholo argument you
can apply one safe principle, and that is
mat supply and domand rcgulato val
ues." Referring to tho table ot ratios
again Harvey said that for 200 years
there was a practical parity between tbe
tso ruotais.
Said Horr, when Harvey sat down:
".My friend Harvey says that he is not
going to pormit me to stand behind the
laboring men, or hido behind them, or
worus to mat effect. How are you going
to stop me from standing whore I have a
mind to? I say I oppose this whole
scneme because tt will injure every man
who lives upon wagos la the United
states."
Horr thon went "into a dissertation on
tho origin of value, his conclusion being
inat wnen gold and silver were first used
to effect exchanges tho cost in human la
bor of producing them measured their
values. Ihe men who advocated free ail'
ver left "out ol the question the great hu
man product ot labor and the manner in
which it will be affcoted by the legislation
that they propose. Their whole plan
seemi to bo to enable people who have run
into debt to pay their debts.witbout re
turning full value for what they have re
ceived." But, said Horr, tho creditors of
the country outnumbered the debtors five
to one. Every man who had worked one
hour of his day's work was a croditor.
Harvey would not take ur this subject
yet, but would prove when he got to it, be
said, that liorr was wrong about tho cred
itors outnumbering the debtor. Ho
proceeded to show when Germany and
Franca demonetized silver, in 1873 and
1871 he said, and called attention to the
table of ratios to show that it was just
then that tho price of silver began to fall.
his conclusions belug that for 200 years
under bimetallism there was parity and
in x: years under the gold standard total
acstruction ot parity.
Another tablo was here produced show'
Ing the annual price at London of silver
from 1833 to ItfJl and the period from 1873
to I3ti wlien silver fell so greatly was
inarKea on tno table "Demonetization."
"We have relatively now only half as
muen prim try mocey In existence as
in lt J and ot course silver is only worth
naif as much." Ho then asked: Has
silver declined since 1873 by reason of
overproduction? and presented a tablo
giving tho production of both metals each
year or period ot years from 1515 to 18U1
in kilos, tho ratio of gold to silver in
weight and in valuo. From this ho ar
gued that: "The varying supply of the
two metals prior to 1873 never had any et-
leci iu cnanging their commercial parity
rum iuo legal ratio uxea.
Horr said: "Brother Harvey omits
11113 ono important tning. You may
make two standards by law, but tho poo
pie will discard one and use the other.
We necessan.y are compelled to do bust
ncss with one or the other unless the
value happens to ba precisely the same.
so that tho measure becomes ono and
identical.
Harvey referred to tho tablo of produc
tion 01 goia ana silver to prove that la
the time It covers, 3-'8 years, the ratio
between the quantity ot the two metals
produced llactuned from 56 to 1 to 4 to L
while the 'commercial ratio hung tonaot.
ously to the legal ratio."
Horr declared that gold had depreciated
la value 5per cent in less than 10U
years. "How do I know that gold is
cheaper than it was iu 1873? I will toll
you. Tho rate of wages, the amount of
gold that a man can got for a certain
number of hours' work, tells mo whether
gold has decreased in price or not. I can
et today twice as much gold for a day's
work following tho plow as 1 did iu l&l'J?
ugos are a'l per cent higher, paid in
gold, for the came amount of work than
in IH'iu. Has riot gold depreciated then
when you miasuro it with the great com
modity lit human toil? '
Harvey replied: "Mr. Horr says that
tvery thing lias been cheapcued. includ
ing gold. To say toat gold and products
cues pen simultaneously Is a financial
contradiction. You buy gold by exchang
ing other property for it. When it takes
moro property to buy gold than for
merly, gold has risen.
"Witn us now the price of services or
property means the gold dollar or its
equivalent. Prico has a deliuito mean
ing. It Is gold that property and labor
Is being priced In, it is not priced in luboi,
and the average human Intellect will
havo to be reduced a little lower than it Is
now, before Mr. Horr can toll the people
out on a limb and chop the limb off and
mangle them any more than the art
now mangled. Ho is trying to lead you
off on a theory that has no practical ap
plication as a monetary unit."
