YOU Just one other extract: Ine de-

the agricultural department indicate
that this distress is general; that Great
Britain, France and Germany are sui
fering in a larger degree than the farm
ers OF the United States There he IS
telling Us there is depression in agrlcul-
ture, and giving the names OF three
prominent agricultural nations OF the
old world, and telling us that agrlcul-
tural depression is even more marked

to remember that when you read in the

WHAT PRINCE BISMARCK SAYS
about the condition of affairs in Ger
many. Our opponents are in the haplt
of telling US that all the civilized ma
tons are in favor of the gold standard.
The Germans who live in this country
point with just pride to the greatness
if this illustrious German, Prince Bis
marck Let me read you what he mas
said within a few weeks in regard 10
bimetallsm and then see whether ne
/ testifies that the gold standard mas
been a good thing for Germany. zap
plause) In a letter written to Governor
Culbertson of Texas, and dated on the
oath day of August, 1896, Prince Bis
marck said: Your esteemed favor Oh
July l has been duly received. l nave
always had a prediction for bimetai-
lism, but I would not while in ONCE
claim my views of the matter to De
infallibly true when advanced against
the views of experts. hold to TINS
very hour that it would be advisable
to bring about between the nations
i chiefly engaged in the worlds commerce
a mutual agreement in favor OF the es-
tablishment of bimetaAism.
eff the gold standard had been
blessing to Germany, why would not
he say that it was better to keep the
gold standard instead of getting rio OF
the gold standard and substituting the
double standard by international agree
ment?
CONSIDERED d COlillilSlSA1A S-iiN
industrial standpoint, the United states
are freer by far in their movements
than any nation in Europe, and hence
if the people of the United States should
find il compatible with its interests 10
take Independent action in the dlrec-
ton of bimetallisn, cannot but belleVe
that such action would exert mOsI
salutary influence upon the consumma-
ton of international agreement ana the
coming into this league OF every EulIo-
pean nation"
NE have those among US who have
said that some other nation must take
the lead Prince Bismarck says Lhat tne
people Of the United States are freer by
far in their movements than the nations
| of Europe. Can it be that this great Ger.
man statesman has a higher conception OF
the ability of The people OF the Onlted
States than the tories who are not willing
to do anything until they ask the con-
sent of other nations Great applause
and cheering) Not only does Prince BIS
| marok say that we are freer to take acllon
than other nations, but be says IL we act
it will exert a most salutary influence
upon the contamination OF
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT
and the coming into this league of every
European nation. Prince Bismarck tes-
titled first the gold standard is the policy
! in Germany and he wants bimetallism
restored; he testifies second, that the
United States is in the best position of
all the states to take the lead; he testlhes
third, that if this nation takes the lead,
it will have a salutary influence not IN
preventing bimetallism, but bringing other
nations of Europe into an international
agreement. l desire that you shall re-
member this testimony, coming from so
, / distinguished an authority in Germany.
Let me call your attention to another
thing which Prince Bismarck said. Our
: opponents tell us that we are array1nS
one class against another Let me show
you what Prince Bismarck has salu
in regard TO the classes ON the questions
! which concern agricultural depression. A
little more than year ago he was quoted
as saying to a farmer audience in Ger
many that the farmers should stand to-
gether and protect themselves from the
drones of society who produce nothing but
laws. Great applause) Remember the
SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE WORDS,
that the farmers should stand together
and protect themselves from the drones of
t society who produce nothing but laws.
Great applauSe.)
My friends, divide society into classes;
on the side put the non-producerS and on
the other side put the producers of wealth
and you will find that in this country the
majority of the laws are made by the
non-prcducers instead of the producers
of wealth, and just so long as the non
producers make the laws, just SO long il
Il Will be more profitable to be a non-pro-
Queer than a roducer Of wealth. Bis
marck tried to arouse the farmers of Ger
many to throw out these droneS ana take
charge of legislation themselves. l sup
l pose they will call Bismarck an agitator
z daughter and applause) L suppose they
will say that he ought not to array one
class of society against another. OF
course, l don't know how drones feel in q
beehive. but if drones could talk and make
speeches, I will bet that you could not
tell one of their speeches from the speech
2 made by the heads of those great trusts
who call everybody anarchists who do no
believe with them. (Applause.) 1 viii
2 venture that il q drone could talk ano
write and express his ideas in langua ge
that there is not member of a syndicate
that has been beating this government
use 1t as his own. and without being &C
cused of plagiarism. Great applause.
= My friends. that is the only class issue
that we raise and if to say the people
who fight the nations battles in time OF
war have a right to do the legsating il
! time of peace, is raising class agains
class. then 1 am willing to be called ar
: agitator, my friends" Great applause
