The Caccasiam has already mention ad the fact that a great debate on the iilvr question would be heldatCbica? jo between W. II. Harvey, author of Coin's Financial Hchool" and lios ) (J. Horr, an ex-Congressman, who Is nuw a writer for the New York Tri tuD and who favors a gold standard. Ttie debate baa begun. The rules of tbt debate are for the speakers to de liver altogether 140,000 words. Of the. 5,W0 are to be reserved for U9e at tbe end of the discussion. This will give each a chance to recapitulate his argument in 2,500 words. Three hun dred words additional will be allowed teb contefttint as a rejoinder to "his .dtensry's closing- argument. The debate opened at Chicago on July 15th and will continue for three bourn a day for ten days. Messrs. Horrantl Harvey made brief itatements of the points which they proposed making in the debate, and then tbe debate proper began, Mr. Horr asking his opponent to tell plainly if there"was ever 'any 'such school held as that described in the book "Coin's Financial School." Mr. Harvey The "school" is an alle gory; it marshals the opinion of the two sides of this controversy, so that joe In imagination can seethe conflict of opinions and the contest as it pro seeds. It puts in the mouth of the fold standard advocates their well nown views fairly stated with which the country had been flooded up, to the time the "school" was written. The itrangth of tbe book was intended to be in the fairness of stating those views. The fact that a little boy in kite pants was the instructor of the men was supposed to De sumciem to Is tbe story as allegorical. THK MOTTO Or THE BOOK. Mr. Horr Now, I come to the motto of the book, which is this: "I thank Thee, Oh, Father, Lord of Heaven and sod earth because Thou hast bid these things from the wise and prudent and htit revealed them unto babes." Does my friend desire to intimate that the kind of finance which he teaches is something that babes win understand, but that people who know anything will never be able to . comprehend? (Applause and laughter.) Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr misinterprets the meaning of that verse. . Tbe word "babes" is intended to mean the pure sf mind and unselfish. It is in that sense that it is used in the Bible, and means that those pure of mind and un selfish can see clearly those things which tbe impure of mind and selfish cannot see or understand. Mr. Horr I submit that that motto does not give an excuse for a boy be cause he is in knee breeches to stop telling tbe truth. It does not give the boy any right to misrepresent facts. At this point the contestants dis cussed at some length the definition of money. Coming to tbe money system of the United States, Mr. Horr said: "The first law that was passed In the United States on tbe subject of money was on July 6, 1785. That was two years after the subject had been discussed in very shape and form by the people and press of the United States. It was resolved that the money unit of tbe United States of America be one dollar, that tbe smallest coin be of copper, of which 300 should pass for one dollar ; that tbe several prices should increase la a decimal ratio. "How ever one will say they had not yet stated at all what the dollar ihould consist of except that 300 cop per half cents should be one of them, and that was the first unit of measure that Congress established. That is all the law there has ever been on the sub ject and all that has ever been said about it anywhere." (Applause.) MONXT OF THK CONSTITUTION. Mr. Harvav : "As to what Mr. Horr (ajs about copper used as money dur or the continental the adoDtion of the trivial to be used in this After the adoDtion of titution a bimetallic system was provided In that Constitu tion. It says that gold and silver (ap plause), not gold or silver. (Applause.) This is the Constitution. The States surrendered to Congress tbe right to cparately coin money, but expressly retained tbe right to tbe use of silver and gold as money, neither as token money, one representing the other, as silver is now coined representing gold, but both as money in their own right. (Applause.) "Congress, in good faith with the States, has no more right to demone tise one of these metals than it has to demonetize both of them with out the consent of tbe States. (Ap plause.) "Tbe men who framed this Consti tution then proceeded to give it the construction intended. They gave to both metals eau&ldiarnitT.eaual rights, except to make the dollar of silver the unit of value, in which tbe value of fold would be measured, but with con current coinage with silver they gave both metals free and unlimited coin arc. Both were given full and unlim ited use in the payment of debts. There was no discrimination made in the use of the two metals except' that tbe unit of value was to reside, in tbe uver dollar and tbat cold coins were this discussion that no law has ever been passed by tbe American Congress which waa more completely and fully understood than the law of 1873. .The statement. which be read to you that the scheme was concocted in London is a simple assertion upon which he cannot produce one scintilla of reputa ble truth, not one word. The law of 1873 had its origin, as all such laws have, in tbe brains of experts. - The question of coinage, mintage, is a most intricate one. It is one of the most complicated problems with which philosophical men have ever grappled." Mr. Harvey Mr. Horr says tbat 1 have no proof that the scheme was con cocted in London to demonetize silver in tbe United States. When I was a boy, l heard a lawyer nay: "When a crime is committed, and you want to detect the criminal, look for the man who is benefited by the crime." (Ap plause.) Reasoning by induction will more invariably locate the crimi nal than any uncertain human testi mony. London bankers ini iated the Paris conference of 1867, at which Mr. John Sherman was present, therefore, I have the right to say the conspiracy originated in London. In 1873, when this treacherous act was passed there was no specie currency in this country. During all the years from 1792 to 1861 when it was actually in use and being! tested for its merit, no one proposed to demonetize either of the metals except some money lenders from Europe, who proposed it in 1854. (Applause.) But at that time, 1873, when it was not in circulation, and was not needed, the movement was begun and consummated. Facts Concerning Property Values.

L.' Caldwell. MB. H1KVKT ANSWERS A QUESTION. This closed this debate for the day, and the questions being in order, O. B. Gunn, of Kansas City, said : "Mr. Harvey asserts that mints were open to the free and unlimited coinage of silver from 1792 to 1873. Jefferson closed the mints in 1806 to the coinage of silver dollars, and only 1,300 of Mr. Harvey's dollars or units of value were coined up to 1840, a pe riod of thirty-four years. Was this free and unlimited coinage of silver? Mr. Harvey Mr. Jefferson did not close the mints; that could only . be done. by . an act of congress. Mr. J If er son direct ed (the mints being open to the free coinage of all kinds of silver coin) the mint directors to coin the silver that came at the option of the people in 50 cent pieces and less. It made no dif ference to the (people who. brought it whether they coined it in 50-cent pieces or dollars, it was all money. The mints were open to free and unlimited coinage of silver, but the director of the mint or President might direct what kinds of coins should be coined without interfering with the principle of the law that the mints were open to free and unlimited coinage. (Applause-) THS GOLD DOLLAR THE UNIT. The act of 1873 made the gold dollar the unit, and now, by act of Septem ber 15, 1889, it is unlawful to coin a gold dollar. So now that we have unit of 23.2-10 grains of gold, and Congress has said tbat the mints shall not coin any of them. But neverthe less, we have a gold standard, because the $5 gold pieces and $10 gold pieces were coined with reference to 23.2-10 grains of gold, being the unit of value. (Applause.) Mr. Horr read from a letter of Mr. Leach, for many years director of the mint, who took the view, that the claim that the silver dollar was the unit of value was inconsistent with the bime tallic system. This decision was ex actly in accordance with the facts. Tbe laws authorized a gold dollar unit and a silver dollar unit different from each other in intrinsic value; that was the reason the law of 1873 was pro posed. Mr. Harvey, replying, declared that Mr. Horr had admitted yesterday that the silver dollar was the unit of value and the record showed it. Now he at tempted to twist something back into the discussion by which he was to be believed as saying one thing yesterday and something else today. Mr. Horr was accused of trying to mix things by discussing bimetallism and the rela tion of silver and gold, which were in the second chapter of the book. He accused his opponent of traveling on side tracks and neglecting to follow the agreed order of discussion, tie then introduced a discussion of the demonetization of silver and the crime" 01 1873. tie accuseu oeuwr Wake up, And Tell Where Ton Stand. For the Caucasian. Greenville, N. C, July 14. Will .you please do ns the kindness to wake up the News and Observerf As soon as it gets awake, gets- its eyes open good, and gets in its right mind (T), ask it, "Where do you stand on the money question?" Sometimes we think it is for free sil ver, then again we do not know. .We know .where the Caucasian stands, and we want to say right here . that we are "agin" it, but still we want to see every man or paper have an honest opinion on every subject of interest to the people, and speak out that opinion and stand by it, right or wrong. We had rather see. a man with wrong opinions than with none. Our people seem to be constitu tionally opposed to giving to the public honest opinions on any sub ject. May God give us more of that spirit so beautifully expresed injsong, "Dare to be a Daniel Dare to stand alone," Dare to have a purpose true. And dare to make.it known." We say dare to have an opinion of your, own, and to express it. Tell the .News ana UDserver to take one oido or the other "hot or cold," and that if it continues to be "luke-warm," we will "spew it out" of our community. Oh! News and Observer! where are you at! A Democrat. of the United States, and have been thrown with many of the leading politicians and business . men. The crisis in which we are now passing naturally attracts conversation and easily tarns the drift of it towards politics, .for it is the common idea that recent legislation is to blame for the present state Of things There has never been a time since I cast my first ballot when there was so mneh confusion in the political world. .,, . . . If yon ask a man now if he is a Democrat he begins to tell you at once what kind of a Democrat he is. If you ask a man if he is a Republi can he answers by defining his posi tion. A few years agd we had a solid south -and a Democrat was a Democrat, and the voters of the United States walked up to the bal lot box, and, with very- few excep tions, east a Democratic, or Republi can ballot a straight ticket with out' scratching; but great questions have arisen which have torn party lines to. flinders. ... For the past twenty years the rank and file of citizens have given very little attention to politics.; Our rapidly developing country, the va rious commercial and agiculrural in terests, have commanded their at tention, every man has been busy with his own affairs watching his opportunities in the business- world. We have literally turned the govern mental machine over to the politi cians, and tor years the professional politicians and tricksters have ma nipulated hings to suit themselves, and all they had to do was to write out their platform and write Demo cratic or Republican above it, eiack the party whip, and the people fell in line. As long as the old govern mental cow gives milk' enough for the family nobody cared. how many calves sucked, Dut wnen tnere was not milk enough to go in ' the coffee the question was raised. ' The peo ple have attended, to their own per sonal business and have turned gov ernmental affairs over to pot politi cians and. tricksters and they have managed things their own way un til the government of the United States is literally m the hands of a set of political tricksters, office steal ers and government robbers. The1 only question the average politician of to-day asks is: . ''What plank and what man will capture the most votes!" The vote hunter has made appropriations wherever he could capture a vote, and every fellow who got seared at the sight of a soldier or a gun during the wai, or who nad a bad cold or stumped politician can take a drink oat of his flask and yell Jeffersonian Democ racy a few times and call the Demo crats into a line, hiteh them to his little wagon, crack his party whip and ride into his office. This coun try is bigger than any political party. Political parties have died and the country nag lived, and some more can die and the country will be bet ter off by their death. THE UNIT OF VALUE.

Bradford Prince, for years the gov ernor and chief justice of New Mex ico, is in the city. In an interview he said: "A couple of months ago there was a discussion in Chicago as to what was the nnit of value under the original coinage act of 1792, which embodied the views of Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson.' They made large bets on the subject, some eon tending that the nnit was in silver and some in gold and finally the mat ter was referred at one of the clnbs I to Judge Vincent, who rendered a decision, which was no sooner made tnan it was controverted. "The joke is this, that the good feople of Chicago never thought of ooking at the coin itself to' see whether it said anything on the sub ject. "Now here," said the governor, taking out of his pocket two finely preserved specimens of our early coinage, "here are two silver dollars one of 1795, and one of 1802. On the obverse side of each is the word ! Liberty' and the date; on there verse 'United States of America.' Now look at the edge where the mill ing is placed on more modern coins What do you seel "One dollar or unit. Hundred cents " "If the Chicago brethren had only thought of going to the coin itself as a witness they would have seen in a moment that the silver dollar was the unit by this direct statement im printed in its very substance. "You know a silver dollar never varied in weight from the foundation of the government to the demonetiza tion in 1873, when it was worth $1.03 in gold dollars. "When the change in ratio was made in 1834 it was the gold that was altered, not the silver dollar. The latter' Was always the immutuable standard of value till struck down by the monopolists who .desired a dis honest, continually increasing single standard in 1873."

The demonetisation of silver in 1873 was a criminal conspiracy on the part of certain members of Congress acting for the money monopoly of Europe and America. That was more than twenty years ago, but the manipulation of the political cam paign of 1892 in the interests of the gold bugs was, perhaps, a greater crime. The July number of the Forum contains a very interesting article contributed by William Solomon, "a member of one of the leading inter national banking houses in New York City, a stanch supporter of Mr. Cleveland in 1892 and a member of the committee on currency of the Re form club." When read in connection with the events that transpired soon after the inauguration of Mr. Cleve land as president it shows why the "gold" men of New York, investors of English capital in this country, Supported Mr. Cleveland and how, and the object for which tbe financial panic of 1893 was initiated. In the course of this article Mr. Solomon says: "The dangers threat ening the country from an overthrow of the existing basis of values which it was recognized world result from the triumph of any but a sound- money candidate inspired vast num bers of men to go - into a party or ganization which was to claim the field against the so-called Hill-Mur- phy-Sheehan machine. It was well understood that a reform of the tariff was to be the nominal issue of the campaign, and that all tbe changes were to be rung upon that theme; but enthusiasm for a reform of the tariff would not have produced for tbe 'anti-snapper' movement the sinews of war. What did produce them was the conviction that the tri umph of the Democratic party, with Mr. Cleveland at its head, would mean a repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. A large number of the men who joined actively in the work of organization though also tariff . reformers, could not have afforded to make the numer ous self-sacrifices necessary in taking an active part in the caOass on any but such a vital issue as that of the maintenance of the integrity of cur rency.

It shows that it has gained all of the $201,939,832 lost in the central and southern sections, and $33,943,650 of the $210,671,153 lost in the western section. The gain to New York, alone will, pur chase at their tax valuation the en tire area of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada New Mexwjo, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming and have $493,160 left. The area of these States is 526,715 square miles, or an area equal in extent to the following southern States: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,1 North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Floiida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, ( Ar kansas, and Tennesse with Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut thrown in for good measure. The tax valuation of the entire southern section is $4,892,023,497, tbe while a few of the honest soldiers are supporting nearly a million of Uncle Sam's loafers and white pine whit tlers. The question now is how to get a public pap to suck. When the Democratic calves are sucking the country a wealth. third place is given to France with 225,000.000,000, and the fourth to Germany with 161,000,000,000 francs. The combined wealth of pily, was well rewarded, first in the I by chance, by caprice, by mystery. Republican calves stand around the Italy, Spain, Russia and Austria lot and bawl.
