Geneva, Oct 29-The sun had gone down
and twilight was merging into darkness
as Mr.. Br van stepped from THE Idler'' ii,
DeRalb. where about 2.5o0 persons were
gathered around a stand erected on i
strectcorncr. Withhis hat tjammed down on
his head and his uvercOat collar huttonct
close to the throat. he talked about the
arrUmerts advanced bv his opponents.
They tell us, he said, that we must so
shape our policy as to Toe able to get money
from abroad for investment ! say mat
SO long as foreigners run Our financial
policy we will always be borrowers and
never be able to pay our debts and become
money lenders ourselves.
| If we had had "A safe. honest and salts
| factory financial policy for the last twenty
| wears we would not today be dependent
| upon foreign creditors and foreign bond
holders ard foreign inoney-changers for the
; money to do business with But under
the present system we have gone in debt
deeper and deeper every year, and we will

j, in the darkness here and heard Mr.. Bryar
make the most interesting speech Of tn

REVENUES OF REVENUES.
We have answered all the argument

That when discuss the question here !
/; is not confined to this place:
one question put to me Is this: Since
l railroads must pay interest on their bond'
e in gold, and Will receive their revcnu''
/ in silver, will they not be competed, IN
aSInuch as they are not allowed to rails
n rates, reduce their operating expenses
u u and as consequence the wages OF thei
| working pp'ntc'
e That question is based upon the assumT
n tion that we shall fail to maintain tn
- parity between gold and silver while tn
f people who are supporting bimetai!iSn

the free coinage of silver will create sue

X gold and silver will he closed and that
therefore, a silver dollar and gold DO
l. lar will be OF the same value, whethe
mel.ed or coined, here or anywhere in tn
Y world
v If that be true, if we are right in tina
contention then there will be no difficult
o whatever and the question answers its"l
because if gold and silver are niaintaine
at a parity then the wages will be pai
in the same money that the road receive
