18G2 to 1879 the domestic business of
this country was done by using the
greenback dollar as the measure of
values, which was during none of these
years equal in value to either the gold
dollar or the silver dollar. He states
that In his book we both agree. Now
mark: We both agree that in 1873,
since the resumption of specie pay-

Business or this country had been done
on a gold basis. We agree that Great
Britain had been on a gold basis since
1816; no dispute about It. I claim that
Germany ceased the coinage of silver
In 1871, and he claims that it was not
done until later, In 1S73, but we both
agree that since Jan. 1, 1874, Germany
has been entirely upon a gold basis. We

depreciated paper money is the circu-
lating medium and metal money is

as was the ease in this country during
the suspension of specie payments. Mr.
Harvey claims that the law of 1873 was
secretly and fraudulently passed. He
won't deny that he claims that. That
I have denied and still deny I 'say
there is net a grain of truth,is such a
statement. But we both agree that the
law was passed and Is in force today.
Now, the Important question before the
American people at this moment, and
the one we aro here to discuss, is this:
Ought th? law to bo repealed? Ought
wo to again throw open the mints of
grains of pure silver. You claim that
in this book; that Is. "Coin" does, and
I suppose he won't deny that.
Mr. Harvey—You state me wrongly.
Mr. Horr—Here the issue between us
is clear-cut, and I oppose such legisla-
tion with all my soul and with all my
strength. That is really the oniy
question in dispute between us.
In order to decide intelligently, we
must Inquire somewhat into the doc-
trine of ratios. I now ask, Is it possible
by legal enactment to fix a ratio of
value between two substances and then
maintain such a ratio ior any great
length of time, either in the markets
of the world or In the country where
such law is enacted?
I pass to the discussion ©f the ques-
the United States to the free coinage of 'tlon of ratio, as leading up to the coi
silver, upon the old ratio ot 16 to 1, . rect solution ol the dispute between
when the actual ratio of value in the

Del Mar tells us that in the ar halo
epoch. In the very earliest da> wu -vo .
the records were kept on the papyra of
Boulak, that gold and silver were equal
in value, one exchangable for the other.
At that time an ounce of gold was
worth Just as much as an ounce of sil-
ver, people cared nothing ■ to which
one they received. He then tells us
that in the Vodic epoch silver had de-
preciated so that it tcok four ounces J
of silver to buy one of gold. He next
tells us that in the Brahtninlcal epoch,
that was away down in 1600, the ratio
was 1 to 5, and in 1367 the ratio in
some of the countries of tho east was
6 to 1. In the Buddhic epoch it had
changed to 6}£ to one. In India it was
6*4 to 1, and then remained so for long
years. In 1700 in India it raised—that
is, lowered - the price of silver to 61,£.
In 1150 the ratio had become 8 to 1. In
Marco Polo, middle ages, lie tells us
that in 1290 it varied in different « un-
tries from 4 to 1 oven to 10 to I dil
ferent countries had different ratios.
In 11595 in the Jul-al-ad-din epoch, the
ratio had got to be 7 to 1. In 1351
again It went back to 6li; but again
It went up in India to 7 Now he gives

9% to 1, then went up to 9, and was
for a long time 9. The Hast India com-
panies lowered the value of silver and
put It 10 to 1; In the days of the India
company that was the ratio for a long
tlmo. In 1769 in the country of Mohurs
the ratio was down to 14 to 1. I say
now silver was cheaper all the while

Mr. Harvey—To something mat oc-
curred in this audience when Mr. Horr
failed to reply to what Senator Allison
and others said an to the manner of
the passage of the act of 1873, Mr. Horr
said that your enthusiastic expression
or manner wa3 derogatory, or implied
that it was, to your character or intel-
ligence and that It was a failing of
men who had the silver craze. Mr.
Horr, I want to answer that right now.
There have been periods in the history
of the United States when we have had
| crates; one of those first instances
! when you might have used that lsn-
; guage was just preceding the battles
! of Lexington and Bunker Hill. (Loqd
i applause.) There have been two or
tio of one-fourth of one per cent has 1
been enough to drive the dearer metal
out of any civilized country on the fare
of the earth. History Is full of effort* ;
of governments to force the legal ratio
upon the people, and there is no in-
stance on record where the market
value of each metal has not controlled
in the end, and the be t i.toney l as al- i
ways been driven from the Held by the
cheaper. Such result Is in accordance
with a law that Is as universal and as
unchangeable as the law of gravitation.
Our forefathers tried the experiment
and fixed the ratio st 16 to 1 In 1798.
The conHaerclal ratio ;>t that time wai
about 15 1-3 to 1, and our gold coins
left us. in is::i the legal >*atlo was
changed to 16 to 1. The commercial
ratio wan at that time about 15 -i to 1*

pn. ^d a law for coining smaller silver nnd in all those forty years, silver dol
coins of less value than either the legal
or commercial ratio would indicate.
They made such coins token money.
The government purchased the silver
nt its commercial value and covered the
profit into the public treasury. They
gave no free coinage to silver used in ;
such subsidiary coins.
" Ulil France Make n Nlrt?
1 nts is all history, which Is disputed
by none.
I know "Coin" says In his "Financial
School," page 10. "During this struggle
to get more silver, France made a bid
for it by establishing a ratio of 15M> to
1, and as our ratio was 16 to 1, this
made silver worth 103.8 cents when ex-
changed for gold, and as gold would
answer the same purpose as silver for
money, it was found e*ur silver was
leaving us. So congress, in 1853, had
our silver coins made of light weight
to prevent their being exported."
"Coin," as usual, is not accurate.
Franco did not bid for our silver by
making her ratio at 15V£ to 1 when ours
was 16 to 1. France established the
ratio of 15'L. to 1 in 180:*.
France tried to maintain both metals j
as circulating mediums from 1111} to
1874 on some legal ratio, and between '
those dates France'changed the mint
price of the gold marc 146 times and
the mint price of the silver marc 251
times, and thus changed the ratio a
largo number of times, and in 1726 she
lars in large quantities were coined, ex-
cept in fix years, and when you answer
me, Mr. Horr, tell us why Mr. Morrill
said there were none coined; nnd if he
was not truthful about that what im'
portance should be attached to what hfl
said about the silver dollar being pur-
posely omitted in the bill?
The secret of all this Is that Senator
Morrill is a bank stockholder and In-
surance company money-lender, and
when giving utterance to the statement
that serves his personal Interest he has
not had a strict regard for the truth.
I want to nail this statement at this
point; not only to discredit the letter
that Senator Morrill wrote nnd that
was read here, but to nail that same
statement that Is being industriously
published nil over the country, and
that has been reiterate here In Chicago,
that there were no silver dollars coined
for many years prior to 1873. There It
is before Mr. Horr in the report of the
director of the mint, nnd as published
In my remarks. I now pause for Mr.
llorr to Justify Senator Morrill in mak
ing the statement that no silver dollars
had been coined for nearly forty yea
prior to the act of 1873 (Applause.)

assistants to inspect It. I turn first to
Jan. 18, 1873. This bill that was sup-
posed to have had in it a silver dollar
that would float around tho world was
passed in the Senate on Jan. 17, so that
the morning papers of the 18th would
contain any news, if there were any,
showing that the fundamental laws of
the government had been changed. The
only reference that appears In that
paper is in a press telegram from
Washington, which is this; "Mr. Sher-
man called up the bill to revise and
amend the laws relating to mints, assay
offices, and coinage of the United
States.which was amended and passed."

that the records would demonstrate
that you were right?
Mr. Horr—I desire to say to the gen-

man or another may have said about
this bill I neither know nor care
(laughter pnd applause). I know this,
that the men composing the congress .
of 1873, personally and individually,
have every one of them denied the
statement of corruption that you
charge in the passage of this bill. *
know that they have nothing but ln-
uendoes to base the charge upon. I
know that they cannot tnake a

twenty-five years (cries of "No, no!").

without discounting silver as money,
but every one of them refused free coin-

1803, when France established the ratio
of 15Vfe to 1. up to 1871, when she

Mr. Blaine, Garfield, and many others
on this subject, all in harmony with

I now como nearer norae mr Testi-
mony. Tho Chicago Tribune of l-'eb.
23, 1878, says: "In 1873-74, as it was two
years and more later discovered, the
coinage of this silver dollar was for-
bidden, and silver dollars were demon-
etized by law. This act. was done se-
cretly and stealthily, to the profound
Ignorance of those who voted for it,
and of the president who approved it;
had, without the knowledge of the
country, removed one of the landmarks
of the government; had, under cover of j
darkness,
dollar, and had arbitrarily,
Immense injury of <ho peopl
heavily to every form of indebtedness,
fubile and private." (Applause.)
Gold standard men, this was what
your beloved Chicago Tribune said
(laughter) when it was honest. It now
repeats what Mr. Horr says, and is
publishing a one-sided report of this
debate. (Cries of "Good, good," an I
applause.) A cause that depends on
suppression of the truth should not be
I tho cause of honest men. (Cries and
applause.)
I want the record of this debate to
contain the proper reference to General
Grant's letter on this subject. It is in
McPherson's Hand-Book, 1S72-76, p.
134, In which General tGrant, eight
months after the passage of this bill
says in a letter to Mr. Cowdrev: "We
have got the silver and it will soon
commence coming to the mints, and
with silver and gold we will pay our
public deM He u- - and

it stated, that ho knew nothing of the
passage of the act. Twenty two year.-;
