The English bankers are laughing at
our American financiers. In an article
published in the Bankers Magazine of
October, 1896, w. r. Lawson, a recog-
nized financial authority, has an inter-
esting financial article entitled THE
Refux Of Gold to America"
From what Mr.. Lawson says the En-
glish capitalists are not losing any
sleep over the loss of their gold. Many
of our people seem to imagine that in
some mysterious way we acquired $780,,
900, 900 or $40, 600, 900 of English gold
without paying for it, and dumped it
into our treasury vaults and locked it
up before the Englishmen knew what
was going on. But Mr. Lawson does
not agree with this theory. After de-
failing the various movements of the
gold current between England and
America and back again he tells of the
enormous exports of silver which pre-
ceded the recent gold imports to Amer
lea. He then says;
IF the clear-headedness which
Americans exhibit in their daily bust
ness could be brought to bear on this
money question directly and without
the interposition of faddists or politi-
clans, they would soon see what mel
ancholy farce is being played on them.

PORTER AT SOUTH BEND.

South Bend. Oct. %-Spec!al-Robert p.
Porte-s speech here has cleared the at
mosphere. The hall he spoke In was
packed and many could not get In. He
took up the Industries this county Is inter-
ested in or made his illustration turn on
them. thus bringing the vigorous truths
home to his audience. A county that can
boast OF 1900 eoo, 900 feet OF good mer-
charitable timber. and which employs ut
least 1900 men In the logging camps and
as 'aborers In Its Industries cannot afford
TO throw its votes away on a free trade
candidate for the presidency. The output
OF timber here was IN 1895 81 600 900 and OF
shingles about Is. 600 90. Mr.. Porter showed
that We were obliged to compete with Cam
adam lumber which now comes in free:
that this free trade law was supported by

great shape. The hall was crowded, hun
dreds being turned away. There were a
large number OF Union veterans on the
stage and much enthusiasm prevailed.
After the speech the Populists took to the
street corners and chartered like magpses.
they were worried when they heard Mr..
Porter was billed for second speech In
the evening. to which only voters were ad-
mitted. In the evening the hail was just
a. provided. but with . solid phalanx OF
men. 1t Is difficult to say which speech
was the most telling. In the evening Mr..
Porter briefly summarized the points made
In the afternoon and then proceeded to
pour hot shot into the enemy. First he
answered ali the criticisms that had been
made OF hts afternoon speech and repeat
edly brought the house down In laughter
at the expense Of the Pops.
The points made IN the afternoon and
sustained by an array of data which no
other speaker has presented were that I'M
der the present financial system the coun-
try has witnessed It's greatest prosperity:
that this prosperity has not been ecualled
anywhere in the world: that free and un-
limited coinage OF silver viii increase the
cost Of living. but not the wages OF the la
borer. This point Mr.. Porter proved by
our own experience and by the experience
of silver countries. notably Japan. He ex-
ploded the fallacy OF the appreciating doh
lar. the climbing dollar as the Populists
call our gold dollar, proving that stats
tics show that while q days labor would
buy before the present troubles came twice
as many gold dollars an It would 50 years
ago. the cost OF living to our wage-earner
Is less.
Mr.. Porter made much fun BY showing
that while Mr.. Bryan did not believe We
could make the simple article Of tin plates
in the United States he thought we could
run the finances Of the universe. Mckinley
was more practical. He opened new mills
and factories by his tariff law and gave
idle men more employment at good wages.
And II elected he will DO II again.

Chicago. Oct A.-Twice this afternoon
the largest hall In the business district Of
Chicago was filled literally to suffocation
with people to hear William Jennings
Bryan. Outside on the lake front and
streets adjoining. unable to gain admis-
sion. were crowds that would have filed
the hall twice again. Eight other large
meetings were addressed by Mr.. Bryan
before midnight in various parts Of the
city.
The most important gathering OF the Sc
ries was the big MONDAY meeting Of busi-
ness men at Battery ID armory. on the
lake front. and probably next In point OF
interest was the great meeting OF the
women in the same place. a couple Of
hours later. Long before the hour for the
business mems meeting, Battery u was
packed. The seats had been removed from
the hall. and the audience stood shoulder
to shoulder. The great Orders that sup
port the roof furnished seats for a num-
Der Of venturesome admirers and the gal
leries were packed. The hall was crowd
ed TO its utmost limit. Gen. c. III. Howard
called the meeting TO order. and Bryan
received an ovation lasting more than i've
minutes. and which bid fair to continued
indefinitely. Gen. Howard obtained tho
attention OF the audience, however. by
saying that Bryan asked one question,
whether all those present were business
men. Thousands Of voices answered
Yes" and Bryan then made them q long
speech.
The crush at the afternoon meeting even
exceeded that Of the monday meeting.
Painting women were carried from the
hall every few minutes. For two hours
before Mr. Bryan arrived Il was impossi-
bic to obtain admission, and thousands
gathered on the lake front in the hope OF
participating in an overflow meeting. but
this was impossible owing to Mr.. Bryan's
many engagements. The nominees APP
poarance upon the stage was greeted with
a mighty shout of applause. Hundreds
OF ladies in the audience had small Amer
lean flags, and, as they cheered, they
waved the flags in unison.
Just as Mr.. Bryan was about to begin
his address, he noticed a large number
OF men in the windows on the root OF the
building, and fearing danger. he declined
to proceed till the roof was cleared.
His speech was on lines made familiar by
him on previous occasions and was In the
main a general discussion OF the financial
issue. Mr.. Bryan's other speeches before
midnight were at st. 6tanislaus hail. Noble
street; Transit house, Union stock yards:
st. Paurs school, Ambrose street and
Hoyue avenue: Novtny's hail. Twenty
second street and Troy avenue; Bohemian
Turner hall, South Ashland avenue; Pu-
laski hall. Eighteenth street: big tent.
Harrison and LOOMS streets, and Peoples
institute, Van Buren, and Leavitt streets.
William J. Bryan will leave Chicago at
7:95 o'clock tomorrow morning over the
Northwestern railway for q days tour
through several counties In Illinois. He
win return tomorrow evening at o'clock.
