An Incident at Wilmington Shows How Boilers
Stand There-DemocratS and PopulistS
viii Fuse in North Carolina, After All.

Dover, Del, Sept. 21.-In his speech
here Mr.. Bryan said, in addition to what
has already been transmitted:
I'VE have those among our people who
have said that some other nation must
take the lead. Prince Bismarck says that
the people of the United States are freer
by far in their movements than the ma
tons of Europe. Can it be that this great
German statesman has higher concep-
ton of the ability of the people Of the
United States than the tories who are not
willing to do anything until they ask the
consent of other nations? Not only does
Prince Bismarck say that we are freer
to take action than other nations, but he
says that if we act it will exert most
salutary influence upon the consumma-
ton OF international agreement
and the coming into this league
of every European nation. Prince
Bismarck testifies, first the gold
standard is the policy in Germany,
and he wants bimetallism re-
stored; he testifies, second, that the
United States is in the best position of all
the states to take he lead; he testifies,
third, that IL this nation takes the lead
it will have a salutary influence, not in
preventing bimetallism, but in bringing
other nations of Europe into an lnteriia-
tional agreement. 1 desire that you all
remember this testimony, coming from
so distinguished an authority in Germa-
ny.
LET us call your attention to another
thing which Prince Bismarck SAID our
opponents tell us that we are arraying
one class against another Let me snow
you what Prince Bismarck has said IN
regard to the classes on the questions
which concern agricultural depresslons.
A little more than year ago ne was
quoted as saying to farmer in Germany
tho must stand JO2elHer
and protect themselves from the droneS
of society who produce nothing but laws
Remember the significance or those
words, that the farmers should stand To-
gether and protect themselves from the
drones of society who produce nothing
but laws. Great applause) instead OF
the producers of wealth, and just as long
as the non-producerS make the laws, just
so long it will be more profitable TO pe ~
non-producer of, wealth. Bismarck tried
to arouse the farmers of Germany to
throw out these drones and take charge
of legislation themselves, l suppose
they will call Bismarck an agitator
O4augilter and applause) or course 90
not know how drones feel in bee nlse,
but If drones could talk and make
speeches will bet that you could not tell
one of their speeches from the speeches
made by the heads of these great trusts
who call everybody anarchists VINO 90
not believe with them. lApplause). VIII
venture that if drone could talk ana
write and express his ideas in language,
that there is not a member of syndl-
cate that has been beating this govern
ment but who could take the drone
speech and use it as his own, and with
out being accused of plagiarism. (Great
applause) That is the only class issue
that we raise, and II to say the people
who fight the nations battles in times
| of war have right to the legislating In
| times of peace is raising class against
