BIsMARcK's SPEECH.
BERLIN, Oct 1O-Prince Bismarck par
ticipated in the discussion on the Socialist
bill yesterday and admitted making COM
munications to the London Times during
the sitting of the Congress, in order to infiu-
ence public opinion in England. He said
he would examine any positive proposition
of the Social Democrats for ameliorating the
condition of the working classes, but they
were brought face to face with the simple
negative with the overthrow of the State
and society as their only principle. The
Socialists played an easy game with the half
educated and ignorant masses whose gospel
negation sought and found a suitable soil
in Germany in 1870 after the overthrow of
the Commune. The Vaccinations of the
Socialists, he said, bad caused the present
commercial inactivity. His policy, he said,
was entirely free from any hidden tendency.
If Parliament was more afraid of Bismarck
and the Government than they were of the
Socialists, then others who more than pos
sessed their confidence must take the place
of Bismarck and the Government. Heirs
Harrell, Bruck and Sonnemann followed.
