EVERYBODY FOR SOUND MONEY
Experience of the Editor of the Lon
don StatiSt.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Thomas Lloyd, editor
of the London Statist, the financial paper
in London, arrived in the city yesterday
and registered at the Auditorium Annex,
with his wife and daughter and A NJ. Hay,
manager OF the paper. Mr.. Lioydi is making
n tour of the United States for the purpose
of viewing and studying its economic con
,litions He spoke Of his visit in this way
yesterday:
II have been greatly interested in the
growth and development of the United
states, and now that You have an issue
raised of such importance to yourselves and
tn MS. 1 have come to see for myself. SO
far as my observation goes, hnd every
body with whom l came in contact IN New
York for sound money have seen many
bankers, merchants and newspaper men,
andtaIked to every one l met.
II hesitate to utter the opinion nave
formed, because some Of your writer's and
sneakers are always complaining that hit
ish gold has so much to do with the country.
That being so. I, who am not cltizen
of the United States have no tSsineSs TO
toLe sides in the issue pfescnted- am
irving to get at the inner feeling oil fthe peo-
pie, so / can give the men VINO icoh 20 my
pa per the truth more as Information thah
as to my own opinion.
For one thing, l find practically all
the papers are for sound money. 1t seems
10 me that in a great city like Chicago,
where the papers are all one way, IL Is
reasonable to assume the reading public is
all one way, also. Your city is wonder,
and it is impossible to go about the streets
without realizing that surely nothing Will
be done to affect its prosperity
The feeling in England and Ireland
is most intensely friendly to the United
States. We have prosperity under gold,
and we don't see why it should not be
good for other people as we'll. iouh
kindly remember that when l give you
the opinion about England 1 show no
wish TO meddie In your affairs III Is
simply n desire of people who have the
best welfare Of the country at heart ana
have invested money in the United states
to see it prosperous and remunera'i.

and worked close TO Mr.. Bryan. Going
through West Virginia, they secured sums
ranging from $50 10 about $500 from
