rcmainB to 10 econ. Many Of tho vorkin1mcn
arc how satisfied that tho Roliot Society will helm

TIE swEDEs AND THE co41uN1Brs.
To tie fditor of Ihe Ch'cano 7'rionne:
SIN. In The TRIBUNE for "Wednesday, In road
ing tue report OF tho different Bociesios of So
cia!lsts and .Commnnista organized In thia coun-
included tho swedea among tho several
nationalitios OF woriiugmon belonging to
these societies. Whllo admitting that a
fow Swedish individuals, Who are
bnmners or their tools, or vagabons having no
visible means of support, but always ready to
do anything to mako . dollar, will as mattor
Of collrBo join BociotieB like tho Communists.
aud try all IN their power to induce othors to do
tho samo, STILL in behalf Of my countrymcn in
this country and elpowhoro, most positively
deny that the Swedes Gun l,o counted III actual
members OF ouch societies. History proves con-
cluBivoly tint thoro 1s not OIL tho face OF tile
globe moro nberty--loying people than the
s"cdos, OF n peoplo who havo struggled harder

found anywhere where tho established
order OF family aud aoctnl rclntions is moro
sacred and respected than In Sweden. The
Comn1unstic ideas nro not now to tue SwodoB !;
they havo been spoken Of and vontilated In our
newspapers for moro than twenty ycurs but we
do not accept Of thom at all, holtoying them to
be false and wrong. .Anignorant Swedish fabor-
ct, being cut OF employment and lacking means
for support. may be led to aien bis name OH the
roll Of Q Communlstlo society, l,ocauso ho las
teen told TINT by 80 doing lo will hurt nobody,
but only promote his own interest; but when
such 4 mau Ia enlightened, md told the truth
about It, ho will inhtant'y bo found on tho side
of INV order, and right.
Allow mo, III connection with the abovo, to
make suggestion. There is certainly way,
and proper way, satisfactory to all, rich and
poor. 10 prevent the repetition Of eufferinge
among the laborng classoa for want Of work or
employment, and that is, to raiso fund for
through compulsory taxatlon Of ovory man,
the poorest as well az tho woaltbiost,
according to LIS income or property,
in addition to. all other taxes. It is not ut oil
any Borlous objection: first, because that i'm
portant mattor would thereby bo properly dis
posed OF for all time to como, and all tho Com
muniatic ideas too; and, second, because the
laooring clnases, in paying taxos out Of their
interest, mud hayo besides tho satisfaction of
knowing that tho wealthy people pay their fair
share without expectations of renping any per-
aoaal bonoiit. thorefrom. Furthermore, in tho
length Of time, such fund will make Rclief
emergencies. Yours, very respectfully,
