Question Being IAN International BIZ
metallist, do you favor Bryan's candida
ture? 4A,
Nj. Howell am an earnest support
.er Of Bryan. ] believe he is 3 ..Man Of
Destiny" and that it is his great and
glorious mission to emancipate strugg-
lug and wronged humanity from the
crushing tyranny Of the Gold Standard.
His election will compel England to fall
in with an International agreement, but
his defeat, which 1 do not contemplate,
will postpone it for generation per.
iod Of untold misery for the wage Garner
and producer.
Question What, in your opinion, will
Continental nations do, in the event Of
his elections?
Mr.. Howell They will gladly join in
restoring silver to its old position as
money of redemption, by re-opening
their mlnts to its free coinage at the old
ratio. No well-lnformed man doubts it..
Question Gould these nations act
without England's cooperation?
Mr.. Howell Undoubtedly. They,
with the United States, could maintain
the parity with ease and certainty, in
spite Of England holding aloof.
Question What would England do
with respect to the Indian MINIS?
Mr.. Howcll-England is pledged,
doubly pledged, 10y the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and MIR. Balfour in the House
of Commons, to reopen the Indian
MINIS, if other nations open theirs, in
spite of Lombard Street and the Gold
Bugs, " no will raise heaven and earth to
prevent it.
Question Would Lombard Street
have much influence, think you?
Mr.. Howell-Yes; but the Bimetal-
lists in the Cabinet are its strongest and
ablest members, and even at the cost of
breaking up the Cabinet. and shuntlng
the few ignorant Gold Bugs in it, I am
convinced Mr.. Balfour's pledge will be
redeemed to the letter. But everything
depends on the United States. If it
grasps the nettle resolutely and boldly,
England and Europe will follow. Tic
Old World Is very conservative in money
matters, and, like all old organisms, is
timid: The United States is young and
vigorous, with a grand future. 1t can do
and dare greatly. The hour has struck,
the man has appeared, and victory is as
sured if the nation is true to itself, and
is determined to work out its own saliva
ton. If it fails in this supreme crisis,
King Gold will grind it to powder, for
of all the merciless tryants the world has
ever seen, the money power is the most
merciless and emorseless. A few money
kings in Europe and the States will held
the world in pawn, if the United States
does not rise and throw off it's shackles
now. "Now is the accepted time-now
is the day of saIvation.''
Question-You have, think, studied
the wheat question for some years, have
you not? What, in your opinion, is the
Cause of the present anomalous position
with regard to American and Russian
Wheat?
Mr.. Howell-Those who so persistent
ly claim that there is Gold enough for
all, might learn a good deal from the
events of the last few weeks. The har-
vest year 1867 opened on the 1st of
August, in more favorable position for
the sellers Of wheat than had been the
case for years. The great reserves which
had weighed down prices for three years
had disappeared. The granaries of Eur
ope and4America had no more than a
