Answer

Brief Explanations:

Emma Goldman's speech uses rhetorical devices. By comparing the office search to an invasion (like Belgium by Prussians but with "good American patriots"), she emphasizes the unfairness. The lack of a search warrant while searching her office (unlike for Morgan, Rockefeller etc.) shows unequal treatment. This rhetorical use (pathos - emotional appeal of unfair invasion - like a battlefield; logos - logical comparison of different treatment) highlights the inequity.

Answer:

It highlights the inequity of the treatment of her arrest.
