WaterSmeet. Mich, Oct. 14-1he
weather has been considerate to Mr.
Bryan for the last two days. Where
the candidate had reason to anticipate
cold and disagreeable travelling he has
encountered sunshine and warmth. As
usual he began work early this morn
ing, starting in with speech-mall1ng
at S:45 a. m.
AT Ironwood large crowd was in
waiting. 1t was composed for great
part of miners, and when Mr.. Bryan
emerged from the car they gave him
an enthusiastic welcome. He spoke
from a gaily decorated platform, erec-
ted few hundred yards from the train
and for the most part, his speech dwelt
on an explanation of the statement
that under gold standard the dollar
would rise in value and property would
fall in proportion to that rise.
Fifteen minutes later, Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed similar crowd at Bessemer,
both in numbers and enthusiasm.
In this speech Mr.. Bryan ridiculed
the flood of money idea, advanced by
the supporters of the gold standard,
saying that he was not afraid of
flood of money and that those who were
apparently fearful of such condition
were generally not those who did not
have money enough TO provide for the
winters supplies and pay their debts.
At Watersmeet, which was reached
soon after IL o'clock, Mr. Bryan spoke
in conversational tone from the rear
platform to few hundred of enthus-
iastic listeners. He said: In studying
the money question there is one thing
that you must learn before anything
else can be learned, and that is that
you can affect the value of the dollar
when you affect the number of dol
lars. A voice: '"The National bank
system is what the people of this
place are interested in"
Mr.. Bryan: 1.-THE difference between
our plan and the National bank plan
is this: We have Greenbaclxs out now
and these Greenbaeks draw no inter-
est and the government pays no one.
When you retire those Greenbacks
with an issue of bonds and then let
the banks issue money in bonds, the
banks will then draw from the people
of the country the interest which the
people now have. It is good for the
banks but hard on the people"
"0ur Maker first, VIM. J. Bryan
next and free silver" was the saluta-
tion of an enthusiastic individual at
Iron River and his declaration was
applauded heartily. The train stopped
five minutes and Mr.. Bryan talked the
full limit of time. While he was APP
plauded frequently there were many
gathered around the train wearing
gold badges, some of these attempted
to hoot the candidate, but the silver
element quickly silenced them.
Escanaba, Mich, Oct. 14.-There was
a shot made into Wisconsin at Flor
ence, and the residents of that town
in the Badger State turned out in force.
The adherents of the white metal were
de1nonstrative, and so were the follow
ers of the yellow. After Mr.. Bryan had
concluded his speech, and his admirers
had finished cheering and applauding,
three cheers were given for the Repub-
lican nominee.
BY the time Eseanaba was reached
the bright sunshine of the day had
changed to the bleak cold wind which
was to be expected in the Northern
Peninsula. This, however, did not
deter a large crowd from being present
around the stand built within a hum
dred yards of the depot, and the cQld
apparently did not chill the enthusiasm
of those assembled Here Mr.. Bryan
was presented with a badge of National
colors, surmounted by a crown of sill
yer, by citizen who expressed himself
as being "for Bryan now, for McKin-
ley in $780,"
Mr.. Bryan said in part
