MIR. BRYAN's TRAVELS.
Continues His Campaigning Tour in Min
Ofo


nesota.
st. Cloud, Mimi, Oct. 14-Mr. Bryan,
accompanied by Congressman Towne
and others, left Minneapolis at eight o.
m. Tuesday, his objective point being
Duluth. En- route to this city short
speeches were made at Anoka, Elk
River and Big Lake, arriving here, the
candidate made short address, say
Ing among other things:
Quotes Bismarck.
II think Prince Bismarck year ago gave
expression to a very important sentiment.
Speaking to the farmers of Germany, he
said the farmers must stand together and
protect themselves from the drones of So
ciety who produce nothing but laws. You
divide society into two classes. On the one
side put the producer Of wealth and on
the other side put the nonproducer and
you will find that the nonproducers pro-
duce more law in this country than the
producers of wealth. There is such q
thing as a legislative plow. The legislative
plow runs deeper, turns out more ground,
ia operated at less expense and raises
crops less injured by flood and drought
than any other pillow that was ever put
into the ground. Just as long as the flnan-
ciers are allowed to run the legislative
plow, while you keep at work following the
old mole-board, you will never meet them
at the summer resorts. My friends, the
success of the Chicago ticket does not in
3ure the man who wants chance to earn
his living; it simply Injuries the occupa-
ton of those who want to monopolize the
opportunities for livelihood and prevent
others from enjoying the blessings that
follow from their industry.
Reaches Duluth.
Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 14.-Fiye stops
were made by the Bryan special be-
tween Little Falls and Duluth and five
more speeches were added to the several
hundred the democratic candidate has
made in the campaign. For the size Of
the places where the train halted the
crowds that turned out to see Mr.. Bryan
were of fair proportions. That at Sta
pies numbered 500; at Brainerd, 1900;
at Aitken, 300; Carleton, 500, and West
Superior, 10000. Mckinley badges of
yellow ribbon were noticeable at sew.
eral places, particularly SO at Brainerd,
and Mr.. Bryan made some comments
on their use. He said:
Ballot vs.. Badge.
II do not know what arguments are
most familiarly advanced here against FREQ
coinage. I was going to say that coercion
was the argument that is being resorted to
now by our republican friends more than
any other argument. But there is one adj
vantage about the voting in the states
where they have the Australian ballot.
and that Is that while man may wear a
badge in order to save his employment he
has right to use his vote in order to save
his country. I do not find 1t in my heart
to crtticise the man who wears the repub-
lican badge under compulsion. These are
hard times, and they will be harder than
this If the gold standard continues, and ]
do not wonder that the man who has q
Job does not like to risk having that Job
taken away from him because he insists
upon being an American citizen. Some
one has said that man wears repub-
lican badge to save his employment. and
he votes for free silver to make his Job
worth saving"
Ten Thousand at West Superior.
West Superior, Wis, turned out the
biggest crowd of the day. 1t numbered
j.. the neighborhood of 10000 people,
and the throng was so thick about the
stand from which Mr.. Bryan spoke that
the greatest physical effort on the part
of the police was necessary to get the
candidate and his wife through. While
Mr.. Bryan was speaking somebody
shouted: GLOW about Sickles2" re
ferring to Gen. Daniel Sickles, of New
York, who bolted the Tammany in
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall and re
Gently made speech at Duluth in favor
of Mckinley. For every old soldier
we lose" responded Mr.. Bryan, "w,
gain Dozen"

and Towne on their way though TIL
