The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-09-22

Bryan then read the letter from Prince
Bismarck to Governor Culbsrson,
which was published a few days ago.
Continuing. ne said. Not only does
Prince Bismarck say that We are freer
to take action than any other nation.
but he says IL we act Il will exert a
most salutory influence upon the con-
summation of International agreement
and the coming into this league OF ev-
cry European nation. Prince Bismarck
testihes first that the gold standard is
the policy In Germany and he wants
bimetallism restored. He testiles Sec
ond. that the United States is In the
best position to take the lead. He
testiies third, that II this nation takes
the lead II will have salutory inilu-
ence not In preventing bimetalllsm,
but In bringing other nations OF Eu-
rope into an international agreement
| desire that you shall remember this
testimony coming from so distinguish
ed an authority In Germany.
Just as long as the non-producers
make the laws. just so long II Will be
more profitable to be a non-producer
OF wealth. Bismarck tried to arouse
the farmers OF Germany to throw out
those drones and take charge of leg
islation themselves. l suppose they
will call Bismarck an agitator. I sup
pose they will say that he ought not
to array one class OF society against
another. or course / don't know how
drones feel In a bee hive, but II
drones could talk and make speeches.
Will bet that you cannot tell one OF
their speeches from the speech OF a
gold standard advocate. IL to tell the
people who produce wealth that they
have a right to make the laws so as
to secure to themselves n just portion
OF the wealth they produce. instead OF
allowing the drones to make laws and
take the honey. then l plead guilty to
the charge OF stirring up discomfort.
"You read in the gold standard pa
pers how they parade In big head
lines every time a democrat leaves the
democratic party. but there Is not one
OF them telling the real reason why
they leave. They say they are afraid
that the laws will not be enforced
They are afraid that they will be en-
| forced. and the reason why these men
are willing to contribute enormously
to the campaign fund Is because they
know that II the Chicago ticket sue
ceeds the laws will be enforced against
them as well as everybody else.
I'VE have had our financial legisla-
ton run by those people who have
made more In an hour or two gambling
| In stocks and bonds In what the far
mer produces than all the farmers of
the union can make producing their
crops. You take, for instance. where
they can send a large amount OF gold
abroad and make stocks drop, and
| bring a large amount In and make
stocks rise again. The people who are
able to corner this ntbney are able to
| get along fairly well. no matter how
| other people may suffer"
At the conclusion of his speech nj
| Dover Mr.. Bryan was driven immedl-
| ately 10 the train and at 4:s5 started
| for Wilmington. At Newcastle a half
| hours stop was made and he spoke
| To the crowd assembled about the depot
| platform for a few moments, saying In
part: II am the nominee OF three par
| ties. In fact. / got so In the habit OF
being nominated that when ! stopped
| ! felt disappointed that there was no
more parties. ! was not nominated AT
| the republican convention. but II that
| had been held after ours. think we
| might have been able to bring them
over to free coinage"
