WHAT MIR. FREWEN THINKS.

Mr.. Moreton Ffewen of England, who
has an International reputation as an ad-
vocate of bimetallism has arrived In this
country for the purpose of watching the
trend of political events. Mr.. Frewen
has great weight in Europe as a writer
on finance. He has given much study to
the financial question and has also ported
himself as to the sentiment of the people
of Europe on the subject of bmetallism
Since his arrival in New York a Morning
Journal reporter of that city has called on
Mr.. Frewen for an interview, with the
following result:
II desire to watch the course Of your
election" said ne. 1.-THE bimetallists of
the whole world are interested in it.
think the United States is strong enough
and rich enough to take the initiative in
the free coinage of silver with absolute
safety, and l am confident that as soon
as this government opens its minis to
silver the rest of the world will follow
suit l am certain that England would
at once open the Indian minis to the
coinage of silver on the 16 to basis If the
United States decides for it.
Farmers and agricultural hndholders
the world over are anxious for the restora-
ton of silver to its place in the money
of the world. They know that the pres
ent depression in the prices they get for.
their products is due to the appreciation
of gold, and that bimetallism would cause
the general rise in prices which they so
greatly need. The German Agraran par
ty is for free silver, and understand that
Meline, the new prime minister of France
is an enthusiastic bimetalist.
'It is a fallacy to suppose that the sill
yer of all the world would come to you if
your minis were opened to free coinage at
the 16 to l ratio. You could not get over
5000, 900 ounces of silver bullion from the
whole of Europe, and besides, the minis Of
other countries would open to 1t shortly
after those of the United States. England
shut down the Indian minis only in an
ticipation of the repeal of the Sherman
law, and free coinage in the United States
would cause their prompt reopening. In
the twenty-five years which preceded the
demonstration of silver the entire pro-
duction of the world was 220, 900, 900
ounces. OF this amount Indian minis took
160, 600, 900 ounces. There is no reason to

EXTRACTS FROM MR.. BRYAN'S
SPEECH In TAMMANY HALL.

1.-THE very persons who are crying that
they are afraid that the law would be
violated with impunity are the ones who
have violated law with impunity.''
while I do not wish to array class
against class, I am willing to array all
the people who suffer from trusts against
the few people who compose them"
eff am elected as the chief executive
I shall use all the power I have to drive
every trust in this country out of exist
ence as quickly as possible"
sit has been left to free America to set
the example of q national party propos-
ing to surrender the right of self-govern-
ment and bind the people to the will of q
foreign power"
eff our opponents be afraid to discuss
the money question o. rest the verdict
on that alone,Nwe are Hing to let the
public decide whether those who believe
in free coinage of silver can be trusted
with the government instead of the stock
exchange. the money grabbers and those
who are banded together to run this
country
"My friends, there is great contest
in this country which must be settled,
and that is whether a. few people banded
together are more powerful than all the
people of the country"
"There Is one great consolation that
find in the opponents that have arrayed
themselves against me-that by not hav-
ing their aid in the campaign, won't
have their domination after the cam
paign."
1.-The various trusts of this country are
collecting tribute from the people, and
when we protest against it they call us
disturbers of the peace and anarchists"
81 have such confidence in the justice
of our cause that 1 believe that every day
from now until election will add to the
number supporting our candidates"
"Who Is 1t that is so afraid that the law
will not be enforced? 1t is those very
persons who would suffer most il the law
were enforced-the ones who have vio-
lated the law"
"Why is 1t that the great corporations
are so solicitous about the welfare of
their employees? Why is it that instead
of paying wages and accepting their
work as they would any obligation, they
have commenced to teach financial school
to those who are wiser than they are?
Why do they also ask men to join clubs
that are supporting the republican ticket,
and why is it that they call them sound
money clubs instead OF calling them gold
standard clubs?"
''Mr. Mckinley said in 1891 that the
present president of the United States
