Benton Harbor, Mich, Oct. 16.-The raw
atmosphere of the morning had become
more intense in its rawness when Mr..
BRYAN got off his special train at Bangor
10 talk to about 800 people there. A five
minute stop was made, but during that

through the state made brief addresses.
Arriving at Hartford at $40 Mr. bryan
found an enthusiastic audience. A banner
overhead attracted his notice, and indi-
eating it, he said: My friends, I like your
motto: Free silver and financial inde~
pendence.' There can be no financial in
dependence until the American people
recognize their own ability to attend to
their own business without interference
or without the consent of any other ma
ton on earth. When 1 tell you that we
must legisate for ourselves, I am not
appealing to any mock sentiment. In our
society the family is the unit, and the
family must be sustained. In the sister
hood or nations the nation is the unit
and the nation must legislate for itself
4 If the creditor nations of the world have
a right to use their influence to make
. money dear. because they collect money
4 from us, have we not a right to use our
influence to stop it and protect our peo-
pie from the robbery that has been prac-
4 ticed?"

from Watervleit at 9:35 o'clock, after a
five minutes stop, it left behind it a de-
lighted young school mistress and her
flock Of pupils. The train stopped near
the school house and the teacher and
Youngsters came rushing out to see the
nominee Mrs. Bryan noticed the group
and sent a big bouquet of flowers to
the teacher and the audience of several
hundred people addressed by Mr.. Bryan
mere did not cheer louder as the train
resumed its journey than the boys and
girls from the school house.
