H. Harvey, of Chicago, the young i'man who jumped into fame almost' as, as William Jennings Bryan, through his publication of "Coin's FI-' naneUl Sc-bool," spoke to an audience In the court house thatf ully tested the capacity; of. the As is usually the cafe when a prominent man speaks Ton the 'political situation, the was a. mixed one. Nevertheless it was orderly and it made no difference what sort of a statement jjnade the the people "ac-c rte-J it "gracefully and kept their exceptions until after the meeting' had djuried.

before the hour set for the Arrival of the speaker the room va crowded, and women were very' i noticeable In the audience. Mr. Harvey Is an unpretejitlous look- ir.p man. He is. about the same age as Candidate Bryan; but Is of slight build, 2l dresses In an ordinary business suit, and wears negligee shirt, lie removes his vest before appearing, be--; fore the audience.

He Is not by any an orator. lie simply; talks, end pours out a mass of figures to his hoarersjthat Is astonishing. Mr. Har-cy, however, Is entertaining, for sides the arguments he presents he tells a number of stories to keep up the' pplrlts qf his hearers. In a great many vays he is an extremist, and some of his stftiements caused his eympathlz-f ers to yell and cheer.

r. 1 1 irvry's Speech, As he-emerged from the private room of the court ofneers jn company with Chairman Gill he was lustily cheered. He was Introduced byMr. Gill. A syn-j opsis of his speech, which lasted for 'two hours, la as follows: "I desire, in the beginning, to state feme great truths.

-J "One of thejm la this: Individual sel ii fshnees crystallized Into laws of na- tions Is the cause of the overthrow of republics, and is the mother of mon-i erchy. When the people of a republic, by example and training, become wor-; ehlpers of mammon, all laws are made and construed for the accumulation and i protection of property, and the princi-j pies of humanity are neglected. It is the crucial period in the history oi tho republic. In the history of the world no people of a republic have ever successfully met and overthrown the spirit of selfishness. In the history of popular governments selfishness has manipulated the law making power ancJ-ab-sorbed the property oi the people Into the hands of the few, Then ea.ro!- distress antLxiots and the claim that the republic was a failure and then cams monarchy.

l.ai and viliz.ition. "Another gTeat truth Is this; No people, as a he'le, has ever unders tood the effect of laws, on "Let me Illustrate what-I mean In simplelway: Under the feudal laws of Kurope the right was given the owner I to. settle his land on the oldest son, to descend Indefinitely from the oldest son to the oldest son. It was called the law of 'entail. Under that law less than 1 per cent, of the people became the own-.

ers of oil the land, and 99 per cent. -of the people became tenants, among whom our forefathers were numbered. Thy, our forefathers, fled from those rations, where they had protested In vain against those laws, end provldeds in our constitution against estate en-: tail. "In this instance It can be readily Ffen how law modeled the civilization of -those people. For, there no such thing as an advanced or an advancing civilization when the masses of the people are tenants and not the owners of And, while we can understand how a law, in that instance, molded civilization, the people, as- a whole, living under it, did not understand Its effect on their civilization, and protected and defended It.

Appeal to Tton. "I shall appeal to your reason, and to your Prejudices, -whether religious or political, may enslave a people. Reason will emancipate thrm. "The people of Europe were reduced a condition of tenantry the few owning all. the property by laws they dii not understand.

"Money is the blood of commerce, the life giving fluid of civilization, the vital organism of. our social existence You can do without wheat, corn, beef, or any other single commodity classed an-rnng jhe necessities of life, and yet and happy; but you cannot imrifriEe yourself a part of civilization end do without money. Without money society would go back to barbarism. It is one of the most Important factors we have In civilization, and may well be termed the blood -of civilization. It 1 an indispensable necessity to zation, should Jl Normal Qunntitioi.

"On of the rules that should" be applied to any mcestdty Is that there shouU be a rwrnul quantity of it. There Is a necessity for so much bread. There Is olso a necerslty for a normal supply of money.

Some Idea. may be formed of their magnitude when I say that the total assessed value of all the real and personal. property in the United States, by the census of JS90 is a littlejover 000,000,000. We are, in debt, aa people, to the money lenders more than, the total assessed value of all our property. The fair cash value (estimated) of all the real ajid personal property.

In the United States is it is fair-to say that all that property sold under the sherifTs hammer for cash would not more than-pay the, debts of the country. Commends the Women, "When the women of "this country take up this, question of civilization as applied to politics we are going to win. Politicians will go to the rear and the people will come to the front. In the breasts of the women of this country there is a feeling of humanity that is higher than there exists in the breasts of men who are Inure to commerce and traffic. When the women take a hand in this fight there will be an end of white slavery and a new and better civilization for the people of the United States.

Throw aside'-' those 'who have a selfish Interest in for your votes" Study this question for yourselves, and, when you have studied civilization arid the effects of laws on the prosperity of mankind, we will then rear here an enduring republic, It will no longer be a question of experiment. We will erect one that will be permanent and enduring, and when we cease to scramble over the things of this earth and pile them up around us, as these millionaires are doing, who now would dictate to you and I how to vote; when we cease that, then we will come to a newer and brighter civilization, in which we will study the principles of humanity and not the principles of selfish Interest. And with such a people we will go forward step by step, testing questions by the principles of humanity, and we will make a of great men and great women, and it will lead to a brighter and betetr day." They rke i This. Mr. Harvey then" said that it was a significant fact that the money powers of Europe were sending gold back to this country for fear that there would be another issue of bonds and drive the people crazy.

This set the sllverites' almost wild with delight, and it was some time before he could proceed. At one time during his talk he asked all who had a gold, piece to hold up their hands. One hand went up, and this caused laughter, and every silverite in the room raised both hands when the call for silver came. Mr. Harvey then told about going to his Chicago banker and drawing out $2,500 In gold from the bank, but he said It; was only given him on -condition that he would return it after he had got through using it.

He said after his speech at the Auditorium in that city it was returned to thetissistant cashier of the bank and a policeman. He said he wanted it for an object lesson. He also talked at some length about ow-ners of gold bullion, and compared them to the owners- of the white metal. He also took occasion to roast bankers In general, and all financial organizations, to the delight of some of his hearers. He said the people would pay the banker in gold after Bryan was elected, but before it was done the starch would be taken out of it.

He said after Bryan was elected state legislation would be used to protect debtors from their creditors. Kefu-ed to Hlu.h. He then went for the gold democrats, and said he would make them blush with shame before he was through. A voice in the audience called out, "Show us; we are from Missouri." Mr. Harvey said: "You used to tell us that low prices made low wages, and now your leaders tell us that it is not so.

You used also to tell us that we ought to build a wall around the United States, but now you want a bridge across the Atlantic." This caused more cheering. In conclusion he urged upon the people the necessity of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and urged them to work on that issue. It was a noticeabla fact that during all his talk he did not eulogize Mr. Bryan or ask the people to vote for him. Ills talk was solely on the money question.

A I'tmh IMitor SpoaV. William Glasmann, editor of the Osp-den, Utah, Standard, spoke at the free silver headquarters until Harvey arrived. He was billed to snk South Sioux.City, but it was agreed that the meeting there adjourn ana. an cam-over to hear Harvey. Mr.

Glasmann was obliged to speak for fully two hours before Mr. Harvey arrived, and he gave a stirring lark, on the money question from the position of a free silverite. Then Mr. Harvey came nnd spoke for about thirty minutes to the workingmen. 2 was well received, but Mr.

Glasmann had the most applause. "Coin" Harrcy InterTiwp. The money question is one phase of a great moral issue. That is the way W. H.

Not even during world's fair year were the gross and net receipts of the Illinois Central aa large as they are shown by the advance copies of the forty-sixth annual report to have been for the year ended June 30. The increase is showE both in totals and in amount per mile of railway operated. At the same time the outlay for maintenance of way and equipment has beei.

increased, more tons of steel rails have been used than In any year except 3S30, and the standards are seid to have been raised in every department. The number of miles of railway In operation has risen from 2.S88 to 3.127, through lease of the St. Louis. Alton and Terre Haute. The report does not Include the Chesapeake and Ohio or the Yazoo roads, controlled by the Illinois Central.

From traffic the gross receipts increased 15.4S per cent, and net receipts 21.63 per cent. The sum available for fixed charges and dividends has increased 18.55 per and the surplus dividend funds also gained materially. Following are the detailed figures: Gro-is raceipts from traffic $22, 002,542.33 Kxpenses of operation and taxes 14,962,273.77 Net receipts from traffic 7,040,566.53 Net receipts from sale of lands Income from investments and miscellaneous profits Total net receipts 8,859,030.

If there was not enough of it raised to feed the people, you would be in favor of raising more of it. If we have laws that encourage the hoarding of money, the greatest of necessities, and diverting it from the channels of trade, by which the people and the nation are made to suffer for it, and to pay blackmail In order, to get it, you should demand the repeal of those laws, (Applause.) And, If there Is not enough, money to answer the normal requirement, you should sae that more money is made. You should not leave It to a selfish class' to say what those laws should be." ltntio and "Bimetallism.

"Mr. Harvey then explained at some length the meaning of a ratio of 16 to 1 Continuing ins reference to bimetallism he said: "Bimetallism Is the right to use either of two metals for money gold and sil? ver. The essential principal In bimetallism Is the right to use either metal for money. Under such a law, if our trade relations or the laws of other nations take our gold then we have silver, no serious injury occurs. And the same saving principle applies' If our silver should leave and gold remained.

"The vital principle in bimetallism is the right to use either metal. If production grows less of one, "We have the, other, and the two together furnish a more stable supply of money than either alone can furnish. With only one of them for money, the contraction and expansion of the world's supply, alternating as they will, makes an uncertain and unstable supply. Of the two metals; dollar for dollar, sixteen parts of silver to one of gold, silver is- the most useful of the two, is applied to the most uses, and It is the most serviceable to mankind of the two metals. Bimetallism was one financial but.

based on two metals. What Monometallism la. "The right to use only one( metal as primary money, as Is the law now, is-monometallism. 'i "Bimetallism Is the right to use either or both of two metals. Only one may be In use at a time, or partially one and mostly the other.

If one grows scarce, or Is cornered by speculators, we may use the If. under bimetallism, rime Is in use more than the other, it is because it is-the most accessible, and this fact may save our monetary system. If gold leaves us and goes to Europe, under bimetallism, It does not hurt Under; bimetallism, the exportation of gold does not hurt us. Under gold monometallism its exportation deprives us of the only primary money we have; (Applause.) Bl- metallism 'is 'the right to use either metal as primary money. And that was the law up to 1873.

"Under the bimetallic law the debtor had the option of which of the two metals he would pay In. Thus the demand was regulated by the debtor. The government exercised the same option as to its creditors. The demand was thu applied to the' metal -that was most plentiful. If silver became the cheaper by a slight fluctuation, the demand was thrown on it, thus restoring the parity between the two metals.

If gold was the chenper, it was used, and the demand brought It back. There Is no better recognized principle than the law of supply and demand regulating values. and Dcmnnil. "To understand the effect of the demand thus shifted by the debtor, It Is necessary to consider the supply on which the, demand All the gold In the world, available for use, as money, at the present time, is conceded to be $4,000,000,000. That you may more readily understand what this quantity cf gold means, I wdll state that If it were all cast Into one block It would go in the cube of twenty-two feet.

"All the silver In the world, available for use as money. Is a like amount, so conceded. 54,000,000.000. By a similar process of calculation. It will be found that It will all go all the silver In the world available for use as money in the cube of sixty-six feeL This Is the supply of the two metals the world, on which the demsnd of the debtor would operate, at the present time, if we had bimetallism.

"In considering, therefore, the effect of a bimetallic law given us by the unselfish wisdom of our forefathers, we anply it to the law of supply and demand. Under this law the two metals never varied In commercial parity more than 3 per and this slight fluctuation or oscillation was the elasticity that a bimetallic "system gave to our finances based thereon. The Law of 18 73 "In 1873 the law was changed and gold only was made primary money. The mints were left open to the free folnrgo of gold, but closed to the free coinage of silver. An unlimited demand for gold for use as money was left in operation.

The unlimited, coinage of silver was stopped. One of the main arteries feeding blood to civilization Wis cut off. The debtor was to have no HWH4i. option to pay in money from either of these two He was to be limited to gold alone, "From 1873 to the present time, the world's production of the two metals has been about, equal, $1 of gold to $1 of silver sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold. From 1873 to 18S3.

there was produced -In the world SO cents In silver to 51 in gold. At no period of twenty-three years, prior to 1873, was the world's production of gold and silver anywhere near equal, dollar for dollar, as it has been since 1873. And yet, notwithstanding the world's. equal production dollar for dollar, -of the ttwo metals since 1873, they, have separated in commercial parity 50 per cent. "While prior to 1873 the fluctuation In the world's production of the two metals was violent, and had no effect beyond 3 per cent, in their commercial parity, from the legal ratio; since 1873, with no fluctuation, practically, in the world's production of the two metals, they have separated 50 per cent t.

Is a Fixed Dollar. "I now approach the question that has been the least understood. It is the Idea that the dollar is a fixity. That wheat may, alU but that the dollar never irises or falls. people understand that supply and demand affects the value of wheat, but they do not seem to have understood the effect of this law or There-was a time in the world when it was believed that the earth jBtood.

still and the sun went round us. every twenty-four hours. And, it seems to us, who live today, that this is the case. But we have learned that such is, not the It Is the world that moves, though seemingly not to do so. We are now to learn that the dollar may rise and fall in value.

"With each money, whether paper or silver, redeemable in gold they are the representatives of gold. Hence, an exchange of dollars for a horse or other property means the relative exchangeable value of gold for the property. "A rise In the value of gold may thus cause It to buy more and more of our property. Our property will 'buy less and less gold. Effect of the Act of 1873.

"With the strain that had heretofore been shared by both metals, shifted by the act of 1873 and subsequent legislation on to gold, as 6ur only primary money, with silver reduced to the position lof token money, no longer coined at the mint and handed back to the person bringing the metal, but purchased with gold by the government and coined In to I token money to represent the dearer metal, there came a rise in the value of The duty that had devolved on both metals was performed by one. The debtorwas no longer to have the right to regulate the demands The law was to Six it with the resumption of specie payment to follow in 1879 on gold alone. Silver was no longer tof cut any figure In our monetary system as primary money. Thereafter, when value was expressed in terms of money, it was to mean gold or Its equivalent. The government that had therefore, walked on two legs, was how toundertake the difficult task of walking on one leg.

"The effect of this change In our law can only be understood by following the result of the appreciation of gold, or, what is the same thing, the fall of prices. Price is the value, of property as expressed In money. And the value of property as compared with money has declined. (Hold and Its equivalent has gone up. The! equivalent has followed the gold up as the tail of a kite follows the kite.

Property, seeking the market, lies purchased less and less mcney. Xot Enouli Money. "Wf are a credit We seem never to have had enough money to do business o.n a- cash basis. "We have, perforce, bern compelled to do business on' credit. The merchant buys of the wholesale house on credit.

The wholesale house buys of the manufacturer oa credit. The volume of does not seem to be as large as the volume of business. To give employment to labor an to construct sanitary and other improvements, our cities, counties and have issued millions of dollars cf bonds, all payable at a long time in. the future. "Falling prices require more and more property to pay the dbts.

A debt contracted as late as 1SS4 for S1.000 could have been paid, had wheat not declined in value from that date, with 1,000 bushel of wheat. But with the declining value of wheat in for gold dollars or their equivalent, it now requires 2. COO bushels of wheat to pay the debt of $1,000. The effect is confiscation of the property of the man who executed the nott) for $1,000. unless he can, by extraordinary toil; and Increased capacity cf his farm, raise the 2,000 bushels of wheat.

"The debts of this country, national, state, county, municipal, corporate and IrdlviduaU in 1873, were abjut 6,00 1 0 They are now concededly nnd a much fairer and more im- partial estimate of them is At; 530,000,000,000 what does it "Coin's Financial School," puts it. After the money question shall have been disposed of In a manner satisfactory 'to himself and others of his political belief, the system of running national banks and other American institutions will be regulated for the good of the masses of the people. With particular reference to the money question, Mr. Harvey unburdened some of his extreme views to a reporter in the following words: "It is manhood against mammon. We are fighting the evil spirit that has desolated the civilization of the balance of the world.

At the time of Christ the money changers won and drove the world into the dark ages. Where Christ failed the Anglo-Saxon race of the North American continent is going to win and chain down the dragon now represented here by organized greed. "The general situation at present," he continued, "is this: You have heard considerable about the silver craze dying out and about the time it is dead it bobs up again. On November 3 it will bob up bigger than ever, and all over the country." Mr. Harvey said ho was confident of Bryan's election, but would concede to McKInley everything east of the Alleghanles and north of the Potomac.

When asked with reference to an interview said to have been given by him to a Des Moines paper, in which he said that after losing the bulk of his fortune hn began to study the money question, and as to What he would have done politically had he retained his fortune, he said: "What I would have done had I hot lost my fortune Is entirely problematic. I understood the money question away back in 1876 and I turned against both parties as to the position on the money question after Grover Cleveland wrote his well known letter in 18S4. I then refused to vote. This was before I invested in real estate in the west. It was not until I lost my fortune that I fully appreciated the devastation, the gold standard was creating In the country and realized that someone-must take hold of the question.

I believe that unless we win quickly the end of the republic is near at hand. If I had today 'I would put $99,000 of it into this campaign."
