Large Audience in Chicago.

Bryan, the democratic candidate, spoke at
the fair grounds at Dayton, Ohio yester-
day afternoon. The crowd was estimated
away up in the thousands. and the streets
were crowded by thousands of others For
many blocks the streets were tied with
exultant humanity. and the trip clear out
to the grounds was a continual ovation
His speech for the most part was along the
same wcil-beaten path followed by Mr..
Bryan for the last few days. The crowd
was wildly enthusiastic. and interrupted
the speaker time and again with demon
strations of its hearty approval of the
ideas advanced.
At Hamilton an immense crowd met the
train, Ex-Governor James E. Campbell,
whose home is there being at the head of
the reception committee. Mr. Bryan was
escorted through the town, which was pro-
fuSely decorated, by a parade, in which
several hundie ed people took part, most of
them being uniformed. The candidate spoke
from a stand erected in the court house
park to a crowd of more than 1o.uUp peoDle
He was introduced to the audience by eN-
Governor Campbell, who in this way
made his formal entry into the campaign
for the nominees OF the Chicago COM en-
uon. Both the candidate and his sponsor
were received with tremendous applause.
Ex-Governor Campbell introduced Mr..
Bryan TO the audience.
There were short stops at Nenia and
jamestown, ana good-sized crowds listened
to five-minute speeches from the nominee.
At the latter place. while the crowd was
eIthusiastic, there were quite number of
Mckinley shouters and badges in the
crowd.
Washington Court House was given
ten-minute talk, and the large audience
was apparently i'm sympathy with the
speaker.
From. a stand i'm front Of the court house
Mr. Bryan addressed a large audience for
twenty minutes at GAINESVILLE. His speech
was a discussion of the silver question,
such as he has giveD. elsewhere. Ii was the
same during thDwhole day, so far as
enthusiasm was concerned. the audience
applauding vigorously at the least provo
cation.
Circleville came in for a five-minute talk
from the platform Of the car to fair-sized
audience. There were short addresses at
Lancaster and New Lexington to crowds
as large could be expected.
BY this time drizZng ram had SET in
and the outdoor speeches were consequent
ly attended with inconvenience to the can
didate. The train was two hours late and
GAINESVILLE was not reached until after IL 20
clock.

MAJESTY OF THE FLAG.
Archbishop Ireland's Address To n
Grand Army Post.

Archbishop Ireland visited the encamp-
ment of Lafayette Post. G. A. r., in New
York the other evening. General Butter
field escorted the archbishop to the meeting,
to which he was introduced by Admiral
Meade. The archbishop said. in part:
The flag which you preserved. and the
love which you so zealously try to promote
in the minds of youth and the whole of our
citizens. derives its majesty from the bat
ties through which you bore it to victory
1t stands today the symbol of the truth
that secession is damnable heresy. Patri-
otism means the love of the whole country.
So the flag is the flag of all the states, not
of one state.
'Iou love the old flag today as warmly

thought and no deed to bring discredit on
that flag.

The Silver Mine owners Stake.

Every dollar of our present silver coinage was coined on government ac- count, and, though the coins are worth intrinsically only 50 cents yet they are maintained at parity with gold by the government treating them the same as gold and making them receivable for all dues public and private It is this that keeps our present silver coinage i'll cir culation alongside of gold, coupled with the further fact that the amount of such coinage is under the absolute control of the government and the belief that no more will be issued a5 any time than the government can maintain tt all times oil an equality with gold
 But under free coinage there would be TO such restraint, as every helder of 37III grains of pure silver would be permitted to take the same to the mints and have it coined into silver dollal without charge. There would conse- quently be an uninterrupted flow of bullion into the government hints from every quarter of the globe so long as fl was profitable to convert 371A grains of pure silver bullion into Q silver dol lar. The owners of silver would reap a rich harvest by being enabled to change 90 cents worth of silver bullion into a 100 cent dollar Under government coinage the government purchased the silver at its market value and then coined 1t iEto silver dollars, and the difference between the bullion and the coinage value inured to the benefit of the gov ernment, but under free and unlimited coinage the difference between the bull lion and the coinage value would gc into the pockets of the individual silver owners-Senator J. c.

why 1mprovements mnst wait.

4 Marion county Mississippi corre- spondent writes: That Columbia will some day be connected with Hattiesburg by railroad is not an impossibility. It is said by those whose relations give them the right to speak with authority that Blodgett aud other large nonresident landowners are anxious to develop heir large timber interests, and to do this successfully it is necessary that they should have railroad facilities. They are only waiting until the agitation of the financial question ceases. They be- lieve that the one thing needful to southern development is sound money that when the country is settled upon a sound financial basis the holders of northern capital will have no fear that when they put their money into any en- terpirsc that they will get it back in the shape of depreeiated currency and 50 cent dollars as men are loath 10 part with their money when tke probabilities are that they will only get half Of it back.

This new candidate in bicycles for popular favor is made by the Tonk Manu- featuring Company, of Chicago, and , as its name indicates, the frame is made entirely of laminated hickory. This bicycle is not only a beauty, but it has every indication of pos sessing durability and strength. It's makers claim that it's usefulness and durability is far superior to bicycles made of steel. Mir McGaughy will take pleasure in explaining the merits of the Old Hickory.

pR. ANDREws' REPLY.
Question, .'shali the United States Attempt
 rreo Coinage Alone?"


 Free Coinage Aione?"
 It is inspiring to listen to the Till mans Blands and other go it aloners when they declare our monetary inde- pendence of all other countries and our ability to make anything money at any ratio we may please with any other thing. Not all, however, of the friends of silver'' are ignorant cf financial his tory or without 9 ballast of common sense. Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, pres ident of Brown university, is and has always been q warm friend of silver He knows better, however, than to at tempt what is clearly impossible Not only that, bat he pictures the dangers of independent free coinage as yividly as have any of the so called 'goldbugs. " Here is his reply, published some time ago in the Chicago Record, to the ques- tion. Shall the United States attempt the free coinage of silver alone?9
 If we take up the metal alone, and that course results, as 1 should anticipate, in the expulsion of gold, we shall have in the first place financial crisis worse than any ever suffered i'll the country, this because we cannot ill long time, even by working our hints day and night. coin silver enough to take the place which would be vacated by gold. Prices would surely fall Immense numbers of failures would occur La borers would be thrown out of work. Altogether a dreadful paroxysm i'll our business would be preoipitated. Slowly the gap left by gold would be filled by the mining and coinage of silver. Prices would then gradually rise. At last they would become higher than now, more and more approaching the Mexican and Japanese level.
 'But consequence far worse than any of these would be that our passage to q silver basis would erect against for eign exchange between Europe and the United States justsuch q barrier as now exists between Europe and Mexico. 1t would annihilate all fixed par between New York and London, repeating the terrible inconvenience il our European exchanges which we suffered in war times when we were upon paper basis "

 sEcTloNALlsM AND FREE SILVER.
Un-American Attempts to Prejudice the South and West Against the North and

 Un-American Attempts to Prejudice the
 South and West Against the North and
 East.
 The advocates of the silver standard find their strongest support in the southern and western states, and their chief arguments are appeals to the peo- pie of these sections to vote for free coinage because it is not wanted by the north and east. The attempt to obscure the real issue of silver monometallism versas our present system, in which gold and silver are both used as money in al- most equal amounts, by stirring up sec tional hate and prejudice, has been par tially successful, so that large numbers of the citizens of the south and west havc come to look on the people of the north and east as enemies and oppress- ors.
 The existence of this hostile sentiment toward the longer settled and richer sections of the country is both unreason- able and dangerous. Unreasonable, be- cause it is based on the false assertion that our financial system favors the north and east, while, as every sensible man knows the currency laws are ex- actly the same for every state and terri tory in the Union It is true that there is not so much wealth in the south and west as in the other states, but this IS because the north and east are older and industries of all kinds have been established far longer than i'll the states which are mainly devoted to farming and cotton growing. Ill recent years a great change is taking place, new cotton and woolen factories, iron furnaces and steel mills, and various other industries are rapidly being built, and if this de- velopment of the vast national resources of the south and west is allowed to go on unhindered by Populist and silyerite attacks on capital the northeast will be surpassed in the number and magnitude of its manufacturing enterprises
 To carry on this establishment of new industries great amounts of capital are necessary And here lies the chief dan ger of the cheap money sectionalism. By representing the people of the south and west as dishonest repudiationists, who are anxious to cheat their creditors out of one-half of their just dues, the agitators for a debased currency will check the flow of surplus capital from the older states to the sections where il is most needed. This will increase the poverty of the men who now complain that they are poor, and will tend tc magnify their hatred and jealousy ot the people of the north and east Then instead of harmonious union we shall have continual strife and discord, to the mutual loss of all parts of the country. This is the direction i'll which the sil- verites are hu1rying. To effectually kill out this unnational and anti-Americar sentiment the free coinage agitation must be routed i'll November

Venezuela Done With Silver and Paper.
 By q constitutional amendment, now ratified, Venezuela has moved upward from the silver to the gold standard
 The amendment reads:
 Neither the legislative nor the exec utive, nor any other power in the re- public, shall ill any case or for any mo tive issue paper money nor declare as legal tender any bank notes or any oth- er value represented in paper, nor shall the coining of silver or nickel be ordered without previous authorization of con- gress, subject to the same procedure as i'll the enactment of other laws. <"
 Venezuela has been trying to make progress under a limited double stand ard. Like most other progressive coun- tries. she has decided that fiat money, whether of paper or silver, handicaps her industries by keeping capital away
 There are Americans who would ad- wise the Unieed States to go back to the monetary system Venezuela has been compelled to abandon in order to ac- quire an advantageous place among young and alert communities

Trying to Hurt Business.

The silyerites who are bowling about "hard times and appealing for votes for free coinage on the ground that bus mess is dull are very careful not to give any particulars as to the way in which their scheme will improve matters. This neglect of a very important part of a new policy can only be explained by the absence of any facts which would sup port the free silver theories.
 What do these cheap money shouters expect, anyhow? How could business be good with lot of agitators stirring up the whole country with their threats of upsetting the financial system on which business has been transacted for the last 20 years? Are the owners of capital likely to invest it ill productive industry so long as there is danger that free silver congress i'll oonfsoate one-half of it? Will any sensible man lend money to start new enterprises if there is the slightest reason for thinking that he will not get it all back? Is it any won der that there should be idle men when investors are afraid to part with the money which should go to build mills and factories and give the workers em. ployment?
 The silverites would hardly be sur prised if after lot of fireworks had been set off near horse the frightened animal should run away Now should they find any reason for surprise if their threats of repudiation and financial revolution should not scare the country into prosperity?
