MUCH MORE HOPEFUL.
Signs Of Business Improvement Now Felt
AL Over the Country.

New York, September 11.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: The feeling among
jobbers and manufacturers last week
that an Improvement In the demand Of
seasonable staples was.in sight, was well
founded. At more than dozen centres
south and west, the demand is more
active. The volume OF sales has in
creased and the general outlook is much
more favorable for business later In the
autumn. Notwithstanding the Labor
ay Interruptions, the weeks volume
Of business is slightly heavier, several
cities reporting larger sales this week,
than Tor the last two months.
No such gain has taken place in finan-
cial as in commercial circles. Where
there is an increase for mercantile dis
counts the rates for money remain un-
changed for the west and south, with no
higher quotations at eastern cities.
There is a more encouraging look to
the price movement also. 4
Bank clearings for the week aggregate
S759, 600, 600; s per cent less than last
week; "a per cent less than the like week
year ago. The monthly gross earnings
of the railroads at last begin to show
results of extreme business depression Of
the past summer. The failures in the
United States the past week number 30S,
which is 95 more than in the like week
of 1895. !,

THEY BARELY EXIST.
DeplOrable Condition Of Working.
men In Silver Countries.
THEY CANNOT BE SAID TO LIVE.
SAYS GENERAL SKIDDY.

An Interview With a Connections Manu-
facturer ON the Wages Paid In Coun-
tries Which Have the Single silver
standard-Run From LIZ L. to 25 Cents
aDay.
4 New Haven, Conn. September II. The
Register today prints an interview with
Gen. W. W. Skfddy of Stamford, once on
Gov. Waller's staff. The general goes In
to the political situation minutely, and
says that he believes that men of Bryan g
stamp are more dangerous to the future
success and oven prosperity Of the
country than open revolution or secession
would be.
He says the Stamford Manufacturing
company, of which be is the head, pur-
ohases large quantities of raw materials
from the silver standard countries.
Gen. Skiddy says: "In these countries
wo pay the full wages demanded, which
vary from 2s to so cents u day in the
money Of the country. This money we
secure by exchange Chased of course on
American geld) and get two to one the
result being that on q gold basis the
above wages represent from 1917 to 25
cents per day Of our money.
These low wages are due to the deplor-
ableioonditions of these countries, caused
by the single standard of silver. Manufac-
turing interests and international trade
have been almost entirely destroyed, and
they rely mainly on the export of goods,
these governments are in such crippled
financial condition that they are obliged
to lay export duties on these products in
order to raise sufficient revenue for their
governments. The workingmen in these
countries do not live, they barely exist
Theories can be disputed. but facts
cannot, and these statements are the
actual conditions now existing in these
countries, where gold has been driven
out and silver is the only money used. /"

RED HOT FIGHT.
That's What the Boiling Democrats Are
Putting Up in Maine-C. Vey Holman
Talks.
ESPECIAL TO rgE PREss.l

Lewiston, September 1.-THE gold
Democrats are making good Sight and
are delighted over their prospects.
One of the leaders in. the movement,
Mr.. G. Vey Holman, said to PRESS
man:
The sound money campaign Of the Ma
tiOnal Democratic party mas been con-
Quoted with energy born Of patriotic
determination to subordinate every par
tisan and personal consideration to the
maintenance of national honor, the
preservation of public credit, and the per-
petuntion of representative civil govern
m ent upon this continent.
Our speaking can sass has naturally been
limited owing to the brevity OF the time
allowed us since the adjournment of the
Indianapolis convention. But we have
the proud satisfaction of knowing that
our meetings this week have been more
largely attended and accompanied by
a more general expression OF intense in
terest than those of our opponents in
either thu Silver Popocrat OR the Re-
publican ranks.
The high character Of the patriotic SER
vice rendered by Gov. Roswell P. Flower
in devoting this entire week to our cause
in Maine has kindled blaze Of enthusl-
asm throughout the Pine Tree Ste5e. He
reaohed Portland on Tuesday evening at
O'Clock after an exhaustive days travel,
and upon receipt of my telegraphic in
v1tation, Immediately boarded special
train which I had arranged to have
waiting and was whirled to Brunswick,
where his appearance on the platform
of the City hall crowded as 1t was to
repletion, evoked a perfect storm of ap-
plause. The meeting there was confessed
ly the largest and best cid in Bruns-
wick since the war. The following night
Gov. Flower was splendidly received at
in association with our gold Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, Hon.. William
Henry Clifford, who has been conspicu-
ously honored by the Democracy Of
Maine ever sinos in. 1850, he introduced
Stephen A. Douglas to Bangor audi
-enoe OF ten thousand at the confluence
Of the three streets before the Bangor
house.
The ovation rendered Gov. Flower and
Mr. Clifford in. Lewiston last evening
was fitting compliment of the precsd-
ing meetings
We shall finish our tour in Rockland
tonight at rousing rally In the Opera
house. The vote OF Mr.. Clifford will
these crowded and enthusiastic gather
ings, but the paramount necessity of
sending forth to the country a most en-
phatio repetition of Vermont s,.splsntiid
showing. will SO affect it that it will
furnish no adequate or satisfactory
gauge of the strength Of our party
throughout the state 1t is our purpose
Immediately after the state election to
devote ourselves to bringing out that
vote in solid body for our Palmer
and Buckner electors in Novem ber.
