Explanation:
Bryan's speech was made to encourage a measure that would help farmers to carry out their duties. This measure sought to stimulate the minting of silver to gold in 16 to 1, which would increase the circulation of money and allow an increase in credit for agricultural production.
Bryan knew that this measure would be controversial, especially in large cities that they thought would be harmed. To debate this thought Bryan said: "Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country." By this he meant that it was the obligation of the cities to support the work of the farms, because the cities are dependent on the farms, but the farms are not dependent on the cities.
They wanted to get stuff like spices and other food times and stones(diamonds,ruby,amethysts ect) These items weren’t in Euripuand they needed the spices to keep food fresh and for flavour.
The human race will not live in peace until people and nations learn that differences dont matter. Some conflict can teach people different things. But it can get to the point of getting harmful when noone sees the others side of things. Peace will almost always eliminate injustice.
