THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY NORTH GAROLNA DAILY,

Mckinley in 1890 saying Uhat agrlcul-
tlre was depressed, and that without
prSosDerify to the farmer there could be
no prosperity anywhere
Mr.. BRYAN said that this was after
thirty years of a protective tariff
which effectually disproved the claim
that tariff was the issue of the hour.
He declared that the gold standard was
responsible for hard times and if the
people wanted hard times to continue
to vote the Republican ticket.
PREPARED CRWOD FOR BYNUM.
Niles, Mich, Oct. 16.-At Benton Har-
bor he left the train and was driven
70 the Hotel Benton, where he spoke
from balcony. r. l. Jarvis, candidate
for Congress, introduced the nominee
who said in part:
SIN the Banner Register, published
in this city, 1 find the following: Yes

money lender who attempts to use
his mortgages to intimidate American
citizens, and say that that man does
not sdeserve to live in land where
men are free and have right to
liberty. When you admit that it is
necessary to go to the money lender
and obtain his consent before you can
pass law, then you have passed from
Democracy to plutocraey and lib
erty as we have understood it has fled
| from this nation.
sI want you to understand that these
men, knowing that they cannot appeal
/ to reason, attempt to appeal to force,
| these men knowing that this argu-
ment do not appeal to judgment, att
tempt to appeal to the fears of men.
In this campaign, my friends, we have

| There were no new features in the adj
| dress of Mr.. Bryan at Niles, that city
/ was reached at 1880 and he addressed
a crowd of several thousand for twenty
minutes.
At Dowiac, Mr. Bryan found that ex-
/ Congressman VIM. ID. Bynum was to
speak from the same platform he oc-
cupied. few hours after the address
| and in order to prepare the silyerites
of that city for Mr.. Bynum's speech
| he quoted what Mr.. Bynum had said
| on the subject Of finance in 1886.
| INTRODUCES AN "ANARCHLST."
Jackson, Mich, Oct. 16--Brief stops
| were made at Decatur and Lawton,
where Mr.. Bryan spoke from the car
| platform to enthusiastic crowds.
| When Kalamazoo was reached, great
crowd greeted the special. Carriages
| were in waiting, and Mr. Bryan was
/ escorted to Brewers park where
many thousands were gathered. At
| least one quarter of the throng were
unable to get within hearing of the
| candidate.
Marshall was the next stop, but
instead of making a speech, the candl-
date served as introducer. He said:
81 am not going to have time to talk
to you, but / simply want to make a
little speech in the introduction or
famous Anarchist who is gonig to
speak after I am done. Now l want
you when he gets up 10 TALK 10 you
to take ri good look at him. He is a typ
ical Anarchist. You will probably see
his picture in Harper's Weekly next
week. His name is Hon. Albert Will
liams, and he lives at Ionia, Mich, and
he was introduced two years ago at
Ionia by Mr.. Mckinley as the only sur
vivor of the sixteen who met and
adopted the first Republican platform
and suggested the name of the Repub-
liean party, on the 9Th of July, 1854,
under the oaks at Jackson. He must
Ire an Anarchist, because he is with
us this year. My friends, he is one of
the many men who has found it neces-
sary to get out of the Republican
party or surrender their country into
the hands of foreigners, and he has
merely chosen to get out OF the party
yet, my friends. the campaign OF edu-
cation which our opponents are car
