COMMUNISM,

The men in America who encourage COM
munism are public enemies, and deserve to
be treated as such. No better government,
or more equitable distribution of property is
possible on the globe than is found under
the free institutions, and amidst the abound
ing resources of the American republic
The knavcs and fools who would disturb
the existing order of things in the United
States, mean anarchy and robbery now, and
afterward a despotism of their own order.
Let public sentiment frown down these
pirates while they are weak. Eternal Wig
lance is the price of lasting liberty. If the
American press and the American people
trife with these brainless but bloodthirsty
disorganizers, it will cost more at some flu
ture day to put them down. Remember
that any man who talks about improving on
AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS is public enemy
