are arraying one class against another.
Let ME show you what Prince Bismarck
said in regard to classes on the ques-
tions which concern agricultural de-
preston. A little more than a year ago
he was quoted as saying to farmer
audience in Germany that, the farmers
must stand together and protect them
selves from tho drones of society who
produce nothing but laws. (Great
applause. Remembering the signifi-
cameo of those words, that the farmers
should stand together and protect
themselves from the drones of society
who produce nothing but laws. tGreat
applause.
My friends, divide society into two
classes; ON the one side put the non
producers and on the other side put tho
producers of wealth, and you will find
that in this country the majority of the
laws are made by the non producers,
instead of tho producers of wealth, and
Just as long as the non producers
make the laws just SO long 1t will be
more profitable to be non producer of
wealth. Bismarck tried to arouse the
farmers of Germany to throw out these
drones and take charge of legislation
themselves. / suppose they will call
bismarck an agitator. daughter and
applause. l suppose they will say that
he ought not to array one class of
society against another, OF course, /
don't know how drones feel in bee
hive, but If drones could talk and make
speeches | will bet that you could not
tell one of their speeches froin the
speeches mads by the. heads Of those
great trusts, who call everybody An
archists who do not believe with them.
(Applause. ! will venture that IL a
drone could talk and write and express
his ideas i'm language, that there is
not member of syndicate that has
been beating this government but who
could take the drone's speech and use
it as his own, and without being accused
of plagiarism. (Great applause. My
friends, that is the only class issue
that we raise, and If to say the people
who fight the nation's battles in time
in time of peace, is rasing class against
class, then am willing to be called an
agitator, my friends. - (Great ap-
plause and cheers
Mr.. Bryan was frequently interrupted
by applause, and many of bis wittieisms
brought forth uproarious laughter.
Before he had finished he faced about
and completed his address while fac
ing the crowd which was in the rear
of the platform.
The stage which had been erected for
the speaker was occupied by the mem
bers of tho committee and their friends,
each being permitted to invite FIVE.
AT the conclusion OF Mr.. Bryan's re-
marks he shook hands with many
people who crowded around him as he
was making his way to the carriage in
waiting. He was driven off at once to
the station, where the special car for
the upstate journey was boarded. The
car was attached TO ths BAT traih, and
soon the trip TO Wilmington was com
menced. Mr.. Bryan was escorted to
the station by many hundred people,
and was given a farewell salute as the
train pulled out.
Thus ended one of the greatest days
Dover has ever experienced. A Presi-
dental candidate is novelty here and
the thousands who took look at him
and heard him speak had their desires
gratified.
CLAYTON FOLK SEE BRYAN,
Clayton, Sept. 22.-Several hundred
people from Clayton and Smyrna and
the surrounding country were at the
station to see Candidate Bryan On his
way to Wilmington yesterday after

rear platform, but owing to the fact
that his voice had been taxed heavily
at the Dover meeting he declined to
make speech. He shook hands with

MtInIatotpy a..
Bryan and party attracted large
crowd to the depot here yesterday after
noon on the north bound trip, but
beyond smiling at the people anu
grasping proifered hands, the Nebraska
man made no demonstration. He
was evidently wearied. A gentleman
here presented Mr. Bryan with copy
of Every Evening, which had Just
reached here, and he eagerly devoured
the first account he had seen of his
arriva! in Delaware. He was evidently
we'll pleased with the report of the
down-State journey and reception at

MIR. BRYAN ADDRESSES A LARGE GATHER
AT NEW CASTLE.
New Castle, Sept. 22.-The people in
this city and surrounding country
Candidate Bryan yesterday afternoon.
A stage had been erected near the
station and the special car was left here
until the departure of the next train,
to which it was attached.
Fully 1900 people were at the station
when the train pulled in, and cheer
after cheer went up as the special car
was being side-backed.
Mr.. Bryan was escorted to the stage
by several New Castle Democrats, and
after he had been introduced by DR.. j.
j. Black he made brief address. He
impressed upon his hearers tho fact
that in country like This the only
excuse men have for holding Office is
that the people desire them to hold
office; ). they may have aspirations, but
their aspirations will avail nothing
unless the people desire their services.
The people ought to be more careful
about the oflice-holders they select than
is the case many time. They should
find out what man is going to do if
elected before nominating him. The
people do not elect men to think for
them, but to carry out their wishes
after they have done the thinking. He
reiterated his belief in platforms, which
are mado by the people and according
to the wishes OF the people. The plat
form may contain things some people
do not like, but after averaging things
up they decide that the man standing
on the platform will carry out their
wishes better than somebody else on
some other platform. Everybody should
