ORGANIZED ANARCHY.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

deavored to view the conflict as a
silent onlooker, and it is not my pur-
pose at the present time to find any
fault with the present state of affairs
I have got bravely over that. States
men and writers, and clodhoppers
like myself, have exhausted every ar
gument endeavoring to point out
where we were getting to, all to no
purpose. But it may not be out of
place to state few facts in answer to
an editorial in the EAGLE of July I'd,
headed "a Serious Question" l
think if the editor and others who
have reason to look upon this as q Sc
rious question were to give the matter
little serious investigation they
would have little difficulty in arriving
at proper solution of what you seem
to look upon as "problem."
About twenty years ago we heard
very little about Anarchists, Socialists,
Communists and strikers in the coun-
try. The causes had not yet fully de-
veloped to bring them upon the scene
of action. About that time we in
vented what is known as the syndi-
cate, or rather, it did not cut much of
figure up to that time. Perhaps it
will be well to remember also that our
legislators, both state and national,
have devoted q great part of their
valuable time TO organizing syndi-
Gates, or in other words, 10 delegating
the legitimate powers of government
to organizations of capitalists,
each one governing its own special in
terests, and controlling what it con-
siders to be its own special territory,
until our whole grand country, our
beautiful God-given inheritance, is in
state of absolute organized anarchy,
and that which we formerly looked
upon with pride as our government,
is in reality no government at all, but
is being, to all intents and purposes,
itself governed and controlled by
these creatures of its own creation.
This is no pleasant task, but truth
and justice alike demand that every
ray of light be thrown upon this ques-
ii IN. These organized anarchists
have, directly or indirectly, acquired
unlimited control of the peoples high
ways and means of transportation: of
their telegraph systems; of their coal
fields, of their oil fields, of their
forests, of their grain products, of
their meat products, of their banking
systems and their circulating Medium,
together with its purchasing power;
of their street railways, their water
supplies, their light, the public do
main, to the exclusion of The people,
the army, the police, the pr S., the
price of the farmers products, the
wages of labor in all its pursuits and
branches. In the name of liberty,
what is there that they do not govern
and control? can think of nothing,
unless it be the bright sunshine, the
postal system, and the free air of
heaven.
In all these twenty years what law
has been passed Ia protect the honest,
industrious millions against this ne.'
dynasty; against this array CT organ
lied anarchists? None! On the con-
trary, as soon as these organ
lied anarchists began TO fee!
their strength, through The
powers delegated to them by the gov
ernment, they began system OF
cruel tyrany over the workingmea. of
the whole country. They had no
trouble TO get the several legislatures
to enact conspiracy laws, laws of
ejectment, etc. But the independent
American workman could not bring
himself down to be frosted like a
brute. and the consequence was long
series OF strikes
But the organized anarchists were
equal to the emergency: those on the
Pacific kept pouring in Coolies from
China, while those on the Atlantic
side sent their agents across the ocean,
commissioned to scour the slums OF
continental Europe for the most igno-
| rant and degraded classes of Belgium
and Bohemia, aud the cut-throats and
lazzaroni of Italy, with liberal mix
ture of Poles and Russians.
They wanted no intelligent man,
they had plenty of them at home.
This class OF people they have kept
Oh shipping by the cargo for many
years, under contract, to supplant and
starve into subsection skilled Ameri-
can workmeu, and now this very ele-
ment, which these enemies of Ameri-
car liberty have b,en importing into
this country for the purpose of ens!ay-

that these organized anarchists have
to contend with, and whom their hire
ling police are shooting down like
dogs or hauling to prison.
With the full knowledge of the
above facts in our poss 2ssion, | think
it little strange at this day, when |
read in the EAGLE such as the follow
ing:
"Such countries have no right
to expel to this country subjects
whom they viii not tolerate at home
Now let us be honest about
this thing. We know that these
countries did not expel them, we
know that our own organized anarch-
lists sent over and hired them, paid
their passages and brought them in
swarms to flood the labor market. Ii
was a Gods send for their countries
to get rid of them. and God send to
them to get chance TO get away; but
it is raising hades with the people of
