DECLARATION.
We believe firmly, that as q necessary
step in advance to that condition of per-
feet anarchy when governments shall
be no longer needed, it is imperative
that the present competitive system of
industry and the social structure depend
ent thereon be abolished, and that in its
place shall be substituted a system Of
governmental co-operatlonin all matters
of mental, moral and. physical construc-
ton and eleyation. 4 s '.t
We believe in fact that the present
system necessarily is prophetic Of a fu-
lture revolution, which must either result
in a greater and heer condition, or will
plunge our present civilization back into
barbarism.
We affirm that, believing this, lit 'is our
duty to prepare for the impending con-
lfict to lead it when it shall break upon
lns, and to bend every energy to SO direct
lit as to secure as its result the establish.
ment of 9 proper system Of governmen-
tal corporation. sfssi Il
/ We affirm, furthermore, that all the
resources of science should be enlisted
in the battle to insure success and the
welfare Of the people of the world.
We declare further that action ought
to be both international and simulta-
neous. g,a5 Is
It will he remembered that in 1872, at
the Congress of the international held
at Hague, first arose the dissensione
which have since divided our ranks. II
was at this session that Bskounine was
expelled and carried with him thirty ol
the delegates, with the aid of whom he
established what has since been called
the Black international, as opposed to
those who remained, the Red. TIE be-
lief of the Red was in the gradual edu-
cation of the people and in taking no
foreible action until all the world was
prepared the belief of the Blacks was
in; the total abolition Of all present
forms of government by force.
The news of this division when
brought to Bismarck provoked from him
this historical remark !: Crowned heads,
wealth and privilege well may tremble
should ever again the Black and Red
uniteIn
There exists now no great obstacle to
that unity. The work of peaceful edu-
cation andrevolutionary conspiracy well
