Bangor, Mich., Oct. 16. Mr. W. J. Bryan began his speech-making before breakfast this morning; but it was in tbe broken light of seyen o'clock and not in the first peep of day that , the nominee addressed his audience. His train lay all night in a gravel siding, seven miles from Grand Rapids, and began its jour neyings again at 0 o clock, Muskegon, reached an hour later, was not in the regular itinerary, but a detour to that place was made at tbe request oi the peo ple there. The members of Mr. Bryan's audience. 2 000 in number, gave him some very hearty cheers and heard a short speech about the silver question. Mr. Bryan found another big crowd at Holland, where his train arrived at 8 o'clock. Like Muskegon, the little town had out a brass band. Mr. Bryan made another speech and at Fenviile he talked again. . . - Benton Harror, Mich.; October 16. The raw atmosphere of the morn ing bai become more Intense in its raw ness when Mr. Bryan got oft bis special train at Bangor to talk to about 1 600 people here. . A five minutes' trip was made, but during that brief halt both the national candidate and Charles R. Sligh, Democratic Union Silver nomi nee tor Governor, who, with o her well known Michigan politicians previously mentioned in these dispatches, is accom panying Mr. Bryan through the Statef' made orief addresses. - - Arriving at Haitford at 9.10, Mr. Brvaa found an enthusiastic audience. A banner overhead attracted his notice and indicating it, he said: "My friends, I like your motto, 'Free: Silver and Financial Independence There can be no financial independence until the American people recognizj their own ability to attend to their own busi ness without interference or with out the consent of any other nation on earth. When I tell you that we must legislate for ourselves, I am not appealing to any mock sentiment. In our society tbe family is tbe unit and the family must be self-supporting. In the sisterhood of nations the nation is the unit and the nation must legis late for itself. If the creditor nations of the world have a right to use their in fluence p make money (dear, because they collect money from as, have we not a right to use our influence to stop it and protect our people from the robbery that has been practiced ? When the Bryan special pulled away from Watervlet at 9 85, after a five minute stop, it left behind it a delighted young school mistress and her flock of pupils. Tbe train stopped near the school house and teacher and youngsters came rnshing out to see the nominee. Mrs. Bryan noticed the group and sent a big bouquet of flowers to the teacher, and tbe audience of several hundred people addressed by Mr. Bryan there did not cheer louder as the train re sumed its journey than the boys and girls from tbe school house. A score of people only were at St. Joe when the special arrived there. Somebody said that the whole town had gone over to Benton Harbor to hear Mr. Bryan there, so the train pulled out again after a stop of a minute. Five thousand Deoole had gathered in front of the Hotel Benton, at Benton; L.A.cu.nuieapeecn. Mis tram reached Benton Harbor at 10,20 a. m., and started on for Niles at 10.40. His audi ence was enthusiastic and tbe cheer ing was hearty and prolonged when R. I. Jarvis, candidate for Congress, presented him. The text of Mr. Bryan's speech was a paragraph in a local paper quoting 'a leading man' of the town as saying: "If silver wins this Fall it will be one of the greatest disasters that ever befell tbe farmers, I have bad for over ten years nearly $80,000 loaned in this county to farmers. Ia manv j instances payments have been met, but for a few years I have been compelled to extend the time and I am willing to do so under our present financial basis; but if silver wins this Fall I will do what every other man will do with bis money out demand immediate payment. I admit I may lose some of the interest, but I have at least three years to save myself and during that time I will close in on every mort gage I have." ' My friends," said Mr. Bryan, "I want to denounce tbe money lender who at tempts to use his mortgages to intimi date American citizens, and I say that that man does nor deserve to live in a land where men are free and have a right to liberty. (Applause.) When yon admit that it is necessary to go to the money lender and obtain his con sent before yon can pass a law, then yon have passed from a democracy to a plu tocracy, and liberty, as we have under stood it, has fled from this nation. (Ap plause.) I want you to understand that these men, knowing that they cannot appeal to reason, attempt to ap peal to force; these men, knowing that their arguments do not ap peal to judgment, attempt to appeal to the fears ol men. In this campaign, my friends, we have arrayed against us every enemy of society and every man who seeks to make slaves of those with whom he deals. I am glad they are not ' on our side. I am glad I have not the support of a man who intends to fore close his mortgages if men do not vote as he wants them to. (Applause). I would rather remain a humble private citizen than to hold the most exalted of fice in this land if I had to receive my commission from men who know as lit tle about Ithe genius of our institutions as the money lender whose language I have quoted. (Applause). "My friends, this clipping was sent to me by a man who had always been a Republican; a man who owed a mort gage of 11,000 on a farm which used to be worth $3,000, and who stated in his letter that under the gold standard he expected to have to give op his farm, because under a gold standard farmers cannot pay their mortgages and simply have to lose what they have invested and turn their land over to the man who loans his money and uses his mortgage to intimidate American citizens. I say I received this clip ping from a Republicna, and. ruy friends, it is this attempt of the monied aristocracy that is driving these men gut of the Republican party to join with ns in restoring the money ot the Constitution and pur this Govern ment back in the hands of the people, where it belongs." (Cheers) There were large crowds at Niles and Dowa giac. At the latter place Congressman Bynum was to speak later in tbe day and Mr. Bryan took occasion to quote n utterance of his and make some com ments on it. .- ';.:-- ' Mr. Bryan began: "It is because of the shrinkage of values as well as the detriment ot labor, that I raise my voice and "utter a protest against a crusade that has been in tbe past so successfully waged in behalf of the monied interests to the utter and most complete destruc tion of tbe welfare cf the people. Tbe people of the West have been paying an exorbitant interest to the East nntil they are impoverished. They are energetic, laborious and patriotic Daring the days when the nation's body was bleed ing from a hundred wonnds and its life trembling in tbe balance, they poured out their richest blood and treasare that it might be Saved." . Mr. Bryan had this to say in coment: "Those words were trne then and they are true to-dav. The people areas la borious and energetic now as they were when Mr. Bynum described them and they are suffering to-day as they suffered then and all they ask of the Government now is what they asked then that it will not raise its arm and strke them.down with one blow to want and beggary. And yet, when they ask for this they are call ed a mob. I want you to understand that those who are to day for some rea son, which they may be able to explain, changed In their position, cannot change the truth which they spoke then," -Mr. Bryan spoke briefly at - Decatur "and Lawion. CONDITION OF TRADE; ' Tbe Outlook Favorable toy an Harly Im provement. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York. October 16. Braditreets' sayt: While tbe volume of general trade has not increased materially, new conditions are favorable to an early im provement. While wool is.no higber, holders have sold enough to render them indifferent to immediate business and are holding stocks for f nil figures. While new orders for iron and steei pro ducts are not being placed freely, they would be if makers would accept current quotations for 1897 delivery. Southern pig is 25 cents higher, and notwith standing the growing export trade in iron and steel has been checked by higber ocean freight rates and cut prices by German steel makers, it is antici pated that within three weeks the do mestic demand will meet expectations. Cotton goods continue in unsatisfac tory demand. Mills are running on full lime, but stocks tend to increase again, and jobbers and other wholesalers are slow to pay the advance asked while having lower price stocks on hand.'". De pression in woollen goods continues marked, the mills running being on part time or on samples. Prices continue the upward tendency of several weeks past; shoes, leather. Southern pig iron, wheat, wheat flour, canned goods, corn, oats, pork, coffee and print cloths being higher. Petroleum is lower and cotton, an thracite coal, lumber, sugar and various finished products of iron and steel un changed. Bank clearings totals amount to $984. 000,000 this week. 6 per cent, less than last week, and 14.6 per cent, less than in the second week of October, 1895. ' . Tbe tout number of business failures reported throughout the United States this week is 279, twelve fewer than last week and tea less than in the second week of October, 1895, t Failures for the week have been 328 in the United States against 263 last year, and 40 in Canada egainst 46 last year.

Mr. McPbarlan wished the Secretary of State to substitute the name of Mr. Sewall for Watson at the head of the Populist column as the can didate for Vice President. The Secretary of State told Mr. Mc Pharlan that tbe Populist National Con vention had nominated Bryan and Wat son, and that nnder the election law of this State these names were to be. placed at the head of tbe party column of the Populists on the ballot used in tbis state.

WIRE COTTON -TIES. A, Practical Demonstration Shows That Complaints Against Them Are Jaatiflad, Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Charleston, October 16 Cotton men throughout the South are familiar with the war which Farmers' Alliances have, waged against what they called the "Tie Trust." Io South Carolina various wire-ties have been used in place of the old band ties and much trouble has been occasioned thereby between Manager D. P. Duncan, of the Alliance Exchange, and . tbe exporters ot this city. The wire used in many cases was alleged by tbe exporters to be far too heavy and stiff to allow of its being handled in the compresses. These complaints were submitted to . Mr. Duncan, and to day, -after a conference, with the manager of the Alliance Exchange. Mr. F. W. Schul theiss, a representative cf the firm that made the wire-ties for the Exchange, came to the city to investigate the mat ter. He was met by leading exporters and compress men and a practical de monstration was given of the difficulty of handling cotton bound with the wire ties in the compresses. After witnessing these experiments Mr. Scbultbeisi said that he would admit that the complaints against the ties were justified. He said that the wire nsed was far too stiff. He said, however that be felt certain that the defect could be remedied, and be would advise his company to make a tie that could be cut and handled to advan tage ia , the' compresses without losing any weight.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, bnt simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrnp of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. " Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when yon pur chase, that you hove the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only" and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed.
