demonstrative over a speech by VIII
liam j. Bryan. He was presented by

groans and Kisses More groans and
Misses. but no cheers followed his re-
ference to the third ticket-the decoy
ticket. he called 1t. Mr.. Bryan's re-

iasn1. When he finished his speech he
went on platform ON an open lot near

crowd composed of those unable to gain
admission to the principal speech Mr..

at the fair grounds at Dover to hear
him. Excursion trains brought many
people from the lower part of Delaware
and the eastern shore of Maryland Mr..
Bryan said in part:
II thing are god then there should be no
reason why we should make any change in
legislation. II our present condition Is sat-
isfactory then we ought to leave it alone, and
not make a change. No one can advocate
any kind OF remedial legislation except on
the theory that there is something that needs
remedying: Our opponents confess the con-
dition and when tell you that you cannot
remedy the present condition except by finan-
cial legislation, our opponents tell us that
the trouble Is In the tariff question. and that
would be good again. want to read you
an extract from a speech made on last Sat
urday by the Republican candidate for pres

most marvellous prosperity that has ever been
given to any nation of the world. We not

pie that during the period we enjoyed the
most marvellous prosperity of any nation IN
prosperity and national prosperity. I want
to show you how distance lends enchanu-
ment to the view. want to show you py
tn this @ same witness very testimony, given
kind OF policy the farmers Of the country
were not prosperous. II you viii take the
report filed with the Mckinley bill on the
which l wish to quote:
That there Is widespread depression in
this industry today cannot be doubted
speaking of agriculture. That is what the
presidential candidate said when he deliber-
ately wrote the report and filed 1t with his
proposed legislation. THAT there is wide

same report, he said: Zone of the chief COM
plants now prevalent among our farmers is
that they can get no price for their crops at
all commensurate with the labor and capital
invested in their production" That Ia what
he said after thirty years of the kind OF
policy which the candidate of the Republican
party says will bring you prosperity. Let
me read you just one more extract: 'sThe
reports Of the department indicate that this
distress is general; that Great Britain France
gree than the farmers of the United States.''
There he is telling us that there is a de-
preston in agriculture, and giving the name
Of three prominent agricultural nations of
the old world, and telling us that agricultural
depression is even more marked over there
than it is here. / want you to remember that
when you read in the paper that he said that

Now, my friends, have quoted you that
he said that there was depression in agri-
culture in Germany. / want to read you
what Prince Bismarck says about the condi-
ton of affairs in Germany. Our opponents
are In the habit of telling US that all the
civilized nations are in favor of the gold
standard. The Germans who live in this
country point with just pride to the great
ness of this illustrious German, Prince Bis
marck. Let me read you what he said with
in few weeks in regard to bimetallism and
then whether he testifes that the gold
standard has been a good thing for Germany
(Applause) In a letter written to Gov. Cul-
berson, Of Texas and dated on the oath day
of August 1885, Prince Bismarck SAYS:
