Communists Greed.

Under this head the Chicago Tribune |
has extracts from the address of the Com
muuists of New York which justify all
and more than all the unfriendly criticism
which has ever been uttered against these
reckless agitators. Disguise themselves
as they may their underlying principles
are essentially the same in all countries.
Socialists is what they term themselves 10
Germany, Nihllists in Russia, and Conn
mnnists in France, but with mere nominal
differences they aim at essentially the
same thing. The methods by which they
propose to effect their objects are these:
Property is to be common, and labor COM
mon: ~ By voluntary consent of the
parties in interest: ~ by purchase, pay
ment to be made 10 scrip by the State:
(3) by force.
They propose to abolish Church and
God as we'll as personal property and indi-
vidual rights.
They propose to foist their damnable
and atrocious doctrines upon the people of
the United States; this is their creed as
they formulate it themselves:
We are Communists because we desire
the just redistribution of wealth and work
among all men, and that the power TO
possess should not belong to few, but to
ALTO the community.
We are Communists because we desire
to destroy this indiUidudL property person,
flied by egotism and iniquity; because we
. wish to found on OrerthrO,1n society a bond
, OF happiness and perfect equality among
men.
; Communism is the clearest affirmation
of the revolution, and the last stage OIL
human progress
We repudiate all doctrines which aim al
, imposing taxes on the fortunes, the priv.
ileges, or the revenues of the rich, because
this would tend to consecrate in the bosom
of humanity inequalities which 1t is oul
} hope to destroy.
, We are Atheists, because, consequent
with ourselves, our logic refuses to ddni
a Supreme Being, misunderstanding
monstTous and outside humanity.
J In the new sOciety-that to which thu
empire of world has been promised, tina
which must regenerate the races. tina
which must set US free-t0e do not rec0g
= nize COP: we will not have the GoD il
Whose name so many crimes have beer
committed. SO much blood shed.
