October 29

DeKalb, IL (Excerpt)

Omaha World-Herald (Morning Edition), Omaha, NE, 30 October, 1896.

"They tell us that we must so shape our policy as to be able to get money from abroad for investment. I say, that so long as foreigners run our financial policy we will always be borrowing and never be able to pay our debts and become money lenders ourselves." (Cheers.)
