| Yes, England has been the queen Of
thieves. robbers, plunderers and pirates.
There was time when she claimed I'll

men and women to death for their reli-
gious opinions.
She has plundered Ireland for ages
and starved thousands Of people there,
Ito support her royal family, her lords,
mobiles and other drones in extravagant
luxury and idleness. She has plundered
India, and is now plundering Africa.
But the day of retribution is now draw
ing near. National as we'll as individual
sins, like chickens, come home to roost.
Ireland. having exhausted all peaceable
means to obtain justice. is now trying
the virtues of dynamite, and no one who
believes in selfdefense and protection
against robbers can blame them. There
is to be a thorough overturning with
England and the sooner she gets out of
those countries the better it will be for
her.
And would it not be well for our own
rulers or robbers to take warning from
Ireland and escape the doom that
threatens this nations Our government
has not robbed foreign nations as Eng
land has, but it has robbed the red men
of ftheir lands and shot down thousands
of them like wild beasts. It stole Afri-
cans and compelled them to labor for
ages and then turned them loose with
out house or home or land on which to
make homes or raise food.
And more than this, our government
have robbed the very men who placed
them in Office of their birthright to land.
Every man when he becomes of age Isl
robbed of his right to land on which to
make home and raise food. and tufned

money are taxed to support courts and
prisons to punish him for the crimes
that land robbery forces MIN to commit.
Thus men have been driven from the
cultivation Of the soil till every other
avenue of labor is oyerstocked with
hands undertaking each other to avoid
starvation! There are thousands of men
now out of employment whose families
are on the borders of starvation, and
their condition growing worse every
day. Do our rulers think that the work.
ing classes who produce all, will bear
this forever? If they do they are mis-
taken. Unless they restore the land to
the people Washington will be blownsup
within five wears. and members of con-
gress will have stones tied to their necks
and be sunk in the Potomac like rats,
and no one need wonder at the outrage,
for when a government persists in rob-
bing people Of their rights instead of pro-
tecting them vengeance is sure to over
take it. Yours, ]. HACKER.
