Face-down monsters cannot activate unless they specifically say they can - Big Shield Gardna and Mid Shield Gardna are about the only two monsters that do.
Spirit Reaper has three effects - it is actually impossible for it to try to apply its protective effect and its discard trigger while face down (as it is flipped before Damage Calculation, so will always protect itself from battle, and must be face-up to be attacking), however it may freely be targetted while face down and it will not destroy itself, even if it ends up being flipped by that effect, such as through Book of Taiyou.

Will Decoy Dragon's effect activate if it is attacked while it's face down on the field?
No, it triggers in response to the declaration of the attack. If it is face down at this point, then it misses its chance to activate. When it is flipped face-up at the beginning of the Damage Step, it is too late to use its effect.

Can you use Magical Hats' effect to set two Wild Tornado's in order to use their effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Yes. Cards like Wild Tornado can be Set as a monster by the effect of Magical Hats, and when Magical Hats destroys them at the end of the Battle Phase, their effect will activate.Wild Tornado must be destroyed while Set though. If it is attacked, it will flip into a 0/0 monster and be destroyed while face-up. So a Wild Tornado destroyed that way will not activate.
Can you use hysteric party more then once?
'Activate' has two meanings when referring to continuous cards. To 'activate' the card is to flip it face-up from being set. To 'activate the effect' is to have a continuous card already face-up, and use a reusable effect on it. (a recent ruling allows you to 'activate the effect' once on the same chain link as 'activating the card', but that's not relevant here). For Hysteric Party, the cost of discarding one card is the cost you pay to activate the card, ie, to flip Hysteric Party face-up. Once you have done this, you cannot discard another card to summon Harpies again, it is not a reusable 'activate the effect' card, like Royal Oppression.
Does spirit reaper die if opponent activates swords of revealing light while SR is face down?

What happens if your Spirit Reaper attacks your opponent directly while your opponent has Gorz Emissary of Darkness in hand in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Both Spirit Reaper and Gorz trigger from the same thing, and will form a chain with each other. As the turn player's mandatory effect, after battle damage is dealt, Spirit Reaper's trigger will be chain link 1. Gorz will go on the chain as chain link 2. Gorz's effect will resolve first and summon him to the field, then Spirit Reaper's effect will resolve and the opponent will discard a card if he has any left. Lastly Gorz's second trigger will start a new chain, to summon the token.

Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another?
Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.

How did the McCormick Reaper have effect on the nation?
The McCormick reaper exponentially increased the agricultural output. While this raised supply and quantity of U.S. imports, it was also detrimental to farmers because it caused a deflation of price in the crops. Furthermore, due to the fact that the reaper was quite expensive, agriculture slowly started to shift towards rich companies rather than poor, local farmers. The reaper made agriculture far more mechanized and competitive.
