MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. t4-W. J..
Bryan spent to-day in the northern part
of Michigan in that portion bordering on
Lake Superior. Daniel NJ. Campau, chair
man of the Popocratic campaign committee,
acted as ~ringmaster for the Bryan show to-
day. Mrs. Bryan accompanied her hus-
band. AT Ironwood, where the first stop
was made this morning, the silver agitator
told the miners that the gold standard was
an awful thing to contemplate. that it
would cause prices to fall and would be the
ruination of the toiler. He said much the
same thing at Bessemer. At Watersmeet
in answer to an inquisitor who remarked,
THE national bank system is what the
people of this place are interested in," Mr..
Bryan said:
THE difference between our plan and the
national bank plan is this: We have green
backs out now and those greenbacks draw
no interest and the government pays none.
When you retire those greenbackS with an
issue of bonds and then let the banks issue
money on the bonds the banks will then
interest which the people now have. 1t IS
good for the banks, but hard on the peo-
When Iron River was reached an en-
thusiastic Popocrat ran towards Mr.. Bryan,
shouting, Our Maker first. William j.

didate's reception here was of the frosty
order. In the small crowd gathered about
the train were a number of farmers and
miners wearing yellow badges, who didn't

marks, and they hooted him..
A short jump was made in Wisconsin,
where a crowd had at Florence,

ans. After Mr.. Bryan had concluded his
speech three cheers Were given for the Re
publican nominee. In part Mr.. Bryan said:

HIS USUAL SPEECH.
At Iron mountain Mr.. Bryan made one of
his characteristic speeches., saying:
You say that a dollar rising in
value every day is a good thing for
the farmer because when he gets

It is a good thing for the laboring man to
be paid with dollars which buy a great
deal. Remember that the laboring man is

standard increases the number of idle men
and that idle men are a menace to every
man VINO has employment and the labOring
men understand this, because the laboring

men to know what is good for them than
to trust men who have spent their lives
trying to destroy laboring mems organiza-
tons and who try now to speak for them"
BY the time EScanaba was reached the
bright sunshine of the day had changed to
the bleak, cold wind which was to be ex-
pected In the northern peninsula. Here
Mr.. Bryan was presented with a badge of
national colors surmounted by a crown of
silver from a citizen who expressed himself
For Bryan now; for Mckinley in $780,
Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Somebody has said that everybody
knows more than anybody, and when we
get an opinion of a majority of the people
we get as near. the opinion of everybody as
this campaign we are submitting our cause
to, the judgment of the American people.

The worst frost of the day was at
Ishpeming. where the crowd was plainly
not with Mr.. Bryan. There was a big Re-
publican rally there, at which WASHINGTON
Gardner was to speak. The Mckinley
club 4 Of the 1e city headed by 9 brass band,
Bryan had concluded his address and Tim
0thy TarnSley had been speaking for a few
moments when the band appeared. Mr..
Tarnsley. who stood Immediately in front

addressing himself more particularly to
him, said: Il am Informed that that band

kindly interruption. but inside of three
weeks that band will be PLAYING. If still in
the same employment, an entirely differ

his car after talking for a few minutes.
AT MARQUETTE.
Marquette was not reached till 9 o'clock
at night, but Mr.. Bryan made a speech.
He said little that was new, however. and
closed as follows:
Now, ] am going to assume that I am
talking to men and women who desire To
understand the question and who are will
ing to measure the arguments advanced by
either side by those principles of common |
sense winch govern us in everyday life.

stand, and that witness answers Questions |
