friends, no money is good which rises in
value and robs the producers of this
country to the benefit of the bondholders.
They say the gold standard is honest.
No dollar is honest which rises in value
and gives an unearned advantage to the
man who loans money and imposes an
unjust burden on the man who agrees to
pay 1t. There is something necessary in
money besides quality. There must be
quantity as well as quality to money.
The republican party tells you to build
up financial structure on gold, and then
tells you that gold is invisible. | do not
know whether you can get gold in the
banks here or not. | know that in st.
Louis three weeks ago the leading bank
ers signed and published a statement
that they would be unable to furnish gold
because of the agitation in favor of sill
yer, but that they thought they would
be as soon as there was settlement of
the money question. 1t is Il very frail
system that trembes at the breath of
discussion. 1t is an insecure founda-
ton which slips from under your COM
mercial fabric as soon as anybody begins
TO agitate. Give us free coinage of sill
yer and let gold and silver be alike the
standard money of this country, and |
will promise you that no agitation in
favor of the gold standard will destroy
the foundation upon which it rests
There was dodge made into South
Dakota at Elk Point, and while there

Dun 4 CO.'S REVIEW.

New York, Oct. Or. G. Dun X Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow Will
say:
Distinctly better conditions of trade
have appeared of late and are reflected
in somewhat larger employment of labor,
in larger transactions and in continued
buying of material for manufacture. a
great part of the change is due to those
resistless laws of supply and demand,
which take wheat where it is wanted and
gold where it is wanted. India is wait
ing for cargocs of wheat on the way
from Pacific states just as Australia and
South America were some time ago. The
surplus usually available from India dis
appears and the surplus from Russia and
European countries is reduced, accord
ing 10 late estimates. IIOOO.OUO bushels.
Happily, this country has supply which
official accounts have not correctly meas
urcd, If actual measurements do not
greatly mislcad. Western receipts for
the week were 100000 bushels. \
Feature of large Importance. too. is the
unusual foreign demand for corn. which
is rarely failing sign of deficient crops
abroad, where other grains are used in
stead when wheat becomes scarce and
dear Iron furnaces in blast October
had q capacity of 112.IS2 tons weekly
against 129,JOO on September | and 2lI.-

if those of steel making concerns were
included would probably show an in
crease. Buying of materials continues,
but Bessemcr is shade weaker, S11.4O

is So light and So much business is held
back pending the election that decreased
output is not an unhealthy sign. There
is quite demand for sheets. especially

IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS

Market Review.

New York. Oct. 0.-BradstrrctS tomor-
row will say: Colder weather continued
heavy receipts of cotton and wheat ana
other influences have stimulated demand
for staple goods at various points, but
the volume of trade remains moderate
without material change from week
ago. The tendency at some ccnterS is to
a similar trade. but the outlook is for an
improved demand after election. Interior
merchants adhere to the hand-to-mouth
uolicy of buying and wholesale merchants
lre inclined TO examine into credits close
,ly. Except III cotton and wheat regions
mercantile collections continue satiSfac-
tory. Trade improvement is reported
from Atlanta, Augusta, Charlrston BIZ
mingham. New Orleans and Texas cities.
Pacific coast sections report large wheat
exports. Total exports of wheat from
both coasts flour included as wheat con
tinue to attract attention, in view OF the
short supplies in Russia India, Argentina
md Australia. The domestic wheat crop
is more likely to approximate 5OOOOO.OOO
bushels this year than only 4OO,O0O,OOO
bushels, the general Interpretation of the
government wheat report. with the
prospect favoring an exceptionally large
demand for wheat for export within the
next six months, Il larger supply than
heretofore reported is likely to prove
fortunate. The total exports of wheat
this week amount to l.0JO,1I2 bushels
against 4,215,0OO bushels last week,
2.244 400 bushels in the first week of
October, 1895, 3,117,OOO bushels in 1894,

Huron. S. D.. Oct. 9.-SiouX Falls gave
Mr. Bryan his first real reception in Da-
kota. 1t drew on three states for
crowds, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota,
and the crowds were there. 1t was the
most enthusiastic meeting the nominee
has had in any place of its size in the
United States. Better preparations had
been made, and procession of no mean
proportions was drawn up at the depot
when the special train carrying the Bry-
an party pulled in. 1t was raining. and
the day was not one calculated to inspire
enthusiasm or to swell crowds. After
luncheon Mr.. Bryan was taken to the
bicycle track near the city. By this
time the rain was pouring in torrents,
but when he reached the stand he faced
the crowd standing in the mud waiting
to hear him.
His speech was mainly devoted to eX-
onerating Senator Pettigrew from
charges growing out of his bolt from the
republican party.
The train was nearly two hours late
when Huron was reached. Here Mr..
Bryan spoke to good sized audience
and was frequently applauded and
cheered.
Aberdeen was not reached until late
tonight. a big demonstration had been
planned. but owing to the lateneSs of
the hour was not carried out to its full
extent. Mr.. Bryan made { brief adj
dress.
After his Aberdeen speech Mr.. Bryan
returned to his car and retired for the
night, sleeping his way through to Fargo,
y. D., which will be reached early to-
morrow morning.
