William Hope Harvey (1851 - 1936)
American lawyer
and campaign manger of William Jennings
Bryan:
.
In Chicago, on May 15, 1895 during a
debate
on silver as money, Harvey stated:
The bank of the Rothschilds in England is now behind the United States treasury. They are our financial agents. We are paying them the princely salary of $8,000,000 for each six months of their valuable services. How long is our reserve stock of gold to last? How are we to replenish it? There is only one way. That is to borrow it from those who have it, and that means England. And that is what we are doing. Where will it end? It means a dismal swamp and hell's half acre beyond. That is what having a gold standard means.
