Just one year after the speech of
VIM. J, Bryan in Madison Square
Garden, just M year after the init
ial speech of that never-to-b e-for-
gotten campaign, this great, popular
leader visited Butte city, Mont.
And his visit to the great mining
camp was the most gratifying, and
his reception the most enthusiastic
hat the champion of bimetallism
has ever witnessed. One year ago
he delivered a speech in "the enem-
les country" This day he spoke
to $4,000 people who compose his
most ardent friends. His entrance
into Butte was an ovation, compared
to which the return of Caesar from
Gaul sinks into insignifcance. Ev-
cry whistle in that immense city of
whistles was turned loose to pro-
claim the arrival of the nations
greatest man. A feeling of good
cheer swept owe the great city and
the entire populace turned out to
see and welcome the peoples friend.
Mr.. Bryan is in one respect the
greatest orator of all times. In IA
campaign of two months the number
of people who heard his speeches is
estimated at two millions. No 9TH
or mar has ever done this. When
n contemplates the vastness of
the multitudes who gathered from
miles around to hear the sound of
his voice, one is struck with admir-
alton of the nan whose magnetism
and eloquence could move such
gatherings.
And the notable wonder of the
case is that Mr.. Bryan's popularity
is today even stronger than it has ev-
err been in his matchless career. He
is the greatest mar in the democrat
ic party today, regardless of the fact
that he is a defeated candidate. AL
party forces bend to him. All par.
ty leaders council with him. He is
still the one great head of a grea.
party, and the din of trumpets anC
cynbals heard from Louisville anC
indianapolis are but the yelpings O
a passing hshmonger compared It
the heartfelt and kindly spoken low
for Mr.. Bryan coming from tn
homes of the toiling and producin!
masses all over our land. The PEG
pie love Mr.. Bryan for himself; bu
more than all, they love MIN for tn
cause to which he is the fearless an
unselfsh devotee. And while hi
enemies are exclaiming that Brya
is dead, and silver is dead, the
themselves know full we'll that Br,
an and silver are two of the l~ivelie.
things before the American peopl
today.

Conflict of Rival Factories Bids
Fair to Make Silk
Dresses Cheap.
A BOLD VENTURE.
Cotton Looms Aspire to Weave
a More Costly Fabric-BOth
Sides Interviewed.

forts Of eastern cotton mill owners to
manufacture silk goods as q matter Of
very serious Importance. They have
evidently been deceived by the fact
that their cotton looms can be used.
without any great expense for neces-
sary changes, for the weaving of the
cheaper grades of silk AS soon, how
ever, as they try to make the finer
qualities of silk, they will find that
successful cotton manufacturer is not
necessarily a successful manufacturer
Of silks. They will find it Indispensable
to get new looms and new men to run
them. They will find, also, that what
was a profitable business twenty years
ago is very precarious one nowadays.
Silk weaving is now widely established
in this country, and competition among
the domestic manufacturers is so great
that the goods are sold so close to cost
that there is not much profit even in
good times. The silk factories now in
operation in this country can more than
supply the demands of the market. The
sale of silk goods depends largely on
the popularity of the pattern; and the
styles change so quickly that close
watch has to be kept, 80 that the manu-
tacturer may not find himself burdened
with goods salable only at sacrifice.
| This uncertainty, together with the
strong competition among the manu-
facturers, greatly lessons the margin
of profit In view of this condition OF
affairs, it does not look as though the
cotton manufacturers would improve
] their prospects much by taking up silk
weaving; especially as the silk manu-
facturers will naturally make common
cause against the interlopers. My be-
lief is that the cotton men only intend
to make inferior grades Of silk for q
while, so as to keep their mills and
their operatives at work until the mar
ket for cotton manufactures improves.
| Another gentleman we'll informed in
these matters said: Cotton mill looms
can be easily adapted to the weaving
of a low grade silk, known to the trade
as .habatia,' used for foulards, flags,
and similar purposes. They can also
make cotton-back satins, and the low
grade silks which the French and Jap
anese have heretofore sent to this coun-
try in such large quantities. So long
as the cotton mill owners restrict their
manufacture of silk goods to these
| grades. they will not excite much Jeal-
ousy on the part Of the proprietors OF
the old established silk mills. If, how
ever. they start in to manufacture the
finer grades, they will find themselves
engaged in a long and trying contest
that will bring pleasure and profit only
to the consumer
