BRYAN'S EASTWARD TRIP
SAYS HE IS PREPARING THE
 SPEECH OF HIS LIFE.

New Workers Will Have Chance to Hear
 Itat Madison Square Garden on August
 10or 1s-The Chicago Candidate's Plans
 for the Campaign.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-From present
 indications it is probable that August
 10 or F will be the date of Bryan's no
 tification in New York. Bryan will
 start east from Lincoln about five days
 before the day fixed for that event. He
 is preparing the speech accepting the
 nomination, and he says that it will be
 the effort of his life, exceeding in elo-
 quence and logic his address to the
 Chicago convention on July 10. As
 contemplated at present Mir. Bryan will
 make through trip to Chicago. From
 that place he will proceed to Pittsburg,
 and make an address there.
 From Pittsburg he will go to Wash
 ington on invitation from the Delegates
 of the District of Columbia to the Chi cago convention, and en route to New York will also stop over in Philadelphia and talk there. From New York Bryan will go to Bath, Me, where he will be
 the guest of Sewall for short time. It is probable that he will make some addresses on his way. Maine audiences are likely to see something of him and he win then go westward. The date of his return to Lincoln has not been ar l ranged, but it is understood here that he will appear in the Nebraska capital | on August "A, when reunion of Grand Army men residing in this state will be held
 This idea however, seems hardly feasible, as it will give Bryan fort night only at the utmost to visit MT. Sewall, make number of addresses in New England and return to his home In the slow fashion incident to presi- dential aspirants during a campaign when invitations to speak at places along the line of their journeys are too pressing to be refused.
 It is expected that Bryan will devote | most of his time to the states between the Alleghenies and the Rocky noun tains, and he Is not likely to return to Lincoln for stay of any length until
 just before. the campaign is over. Bryan told United Press reporter to-day that he had not made any plans for short trips from Lincoln previous to his formal notification. He is devot- ing his energies to keeping up with his l mail, and in this he finds constant em- ployment, even with the assistance of Mrs Bryan and two clerks. Mrs Bryan will accompany her husband on his trip to New York and New Eng land.

"LoRDs BENHAM FLEEcED.

Taken to Canada by Alleged Agents of
 Queen Victoria and Robbed-His Pe-
 culiar Hallucination Robbers
 Thought to be New Haven Men.
 Information has been received in this city through letter sent to Assistant Postmaster Rowe that Sidney ]. Ben- ham, a well known character here, has been robbed of about $500 in Canada and is now in Randolph, Vt, penniless and footsore, tramping his way back to New Haven. MT. Benham has been mentally unbalanced for some time, his chief hallucination being that he is closely related to Queen Victoria and the English nobility and that the queen wishes him to come to England and share her throne. He has been made the butt of many jokes by the men about town, but no one has ever at tempted to take advantage of his mem tai state until recently. In June two men purporting to be agents of the queen came to him and presented a letter alleged to be from her, asking him to sell his property and come to England. Mr. Benham, who is said to be worth about $20,000 and owns four houses on Lamberton street, mortgaged some of his property and started away With the men. They took him to Mon treal, Can, where they robbed him of the money and decamped. Mir. Ben ham, who is about sixty-eight years of age, then started on foot for New Ha- ven.
 Early in 1895 his relatives had Bur ton Mansfield appointed conservator over him, but he, through Attorney T. F. Callahan, petitioned the probate court to remove the conservator on the ground that he was competent to man. age his own affairs and Judge Cleave- land ordered the conseryaor removed. It is thought that the men who fieeced him in Montreal were New Haven men and that they are now in this city.

gold put down as in circulation is in the

same and serves to hold UP the rest of our
currency. Under free coinage ali this gold
would at once go out of circulation and
soon leave the country. There would be a

lieves would be the case. our silver dollars
should at once fall to their bullion value
1t would take many years to make good
this great loss of gold by the coinage of
53-cent dollars. Meanwhile, greenbacks,
silver certificates and all other forms of
currency would have fallen to the silver
bullion standard, and this shrinkage would
also have to be made good. TO do this
with Scent dollars would be like bailing
out a boat that was leaking all the time

see it roll back two. But if 1t should fin

A PERPLExING QUESTION.
Democratic Managers Think Mrs.
Brynn Too Much In violence

New York Special TO Chicago Times-Herald.
The Democratic campaign managers have
a most delicate and perplexing question to
deal with. 1t is a woman question. What
shall be done with Mrs. Bryan? This win
some, modest. devoted woman and wife has
fallen under the displeasure of the South
ern gentlemen who are running this Popo-
cratic campaign They are ungallant
enough 10 complain that Mrs. Bryan is too
much in evidence. They point out that
from the day when Mr.. Bryan was nom
mated at Chicago till the present moment
Mrs. Bryan has not permitted him to be for
one minute out of her sight. She goes ev-
crywhere that he goes, stands by his side
at every reception. helps him write his
speeches. is on every car platform with
him, and sticks as close TO him as IL they
were Siamese twins. The American people
appear TO like this. and to admire Mrs.
Bryan Immensely fer her bravery and her
devotion TO her husband. But the Southern
campaign managers do not like IL. They
decidedly object to ii, and a very delicate
problem. which they are now studying, is

THE v PLAGUE.

Every day the papers contain reports of
the closing of factories. The owners and
managers say that 1t is due to the silver
agitation. They can sell no goods. and
they cannot collect for those which they
proclaim that the factories are closed for
political effect. The charge is as idiotic as
many which they make. and is even more
absurd on its face. All manufacturing
plants cost large sums of money. The
money was invested In them to make
money, not to promote political ends.
When mills, shops and factories are shut
down they represent not only SO much
dead. but so much deteriorating capital.
Every day a large plant is shut down it
fails to pay the interest on the money IL
cost. Everybody knows this, and every
man of fair sense knows that no factory
would be shut down which could be sure
OF earning even a net ! per cent. on the
money it cost. Therefore, for "A Bryanite
or a Bryan organ to assert that any great
manufacturing enterprise has shut down
simply TO promote the success of a politi-
cal party is a gratuitous insult TO common
sense of mankind. The manager of the
Arcade file works. of Anderson. places the
responsibility of the present paralysis on
the free-silver agitation. and, referring 10
this absurd charge of the Bryan organs,
says that if any one believes the shutting
down Of the factory which he manages lis
connected with a political scheme, we will
pay him a big salary to sell our goods for
u.s." There is not a. silent plant in this
State that would not start up in twenty
four hours if it could get a lot of cash
orders.
The silver craze is a menace. The manu-
employ labor to put into farm machinery
to be sold next year, with even a remote
probability that the machine which has
cost him 100 full-value dollars. he may be
forced to sell for 125 half-value dollars.
The jobber will become responsible for
goods for which he must pay present
prices on the present standard and run
the risk Of being compelled to take a de-
preciated money in m so he shakes
his head when the commercial traveller
visits him and says, Wait until the future
is clearer" Clear the future; make it GER
tain to business men that the silver con-
spiracy Will be defeated. and hundreds of
factories would start w and give partial
employment to thousands of men. Those
who desire to hasten the better times
should declare against the Bryan ticket.
The mere fear of it has caused a general
paralysis.
