the evil spirit shows itself by throwing

The philosophy Of tae whole business
Is that there "a large number OF people
who. either through their lsEiness or
their crime, own nothing and are mad ~
those who, through industry and wit OF
their own or OF their ancestors, are IN
possession OF large resources, The bon
est lahoring classes never had anything
10 do with such mugierouS enterprises.
II IS the villainous classes, who would
NOT work Il they had plenty OF WORK
offered them 50 large wages. Many OF
these suppose that hy the demolition OF
law and order thsy would be Sdvantaged,
and the pAr;ias q the Ship OF state
would silow them "a wretkers

proposes 20 tear 10 pieces the balloi-ooX,
the legislative hall, the congressional as
sembly. II would sske this land
sud divide Il Mp, OF rather divide
ID down Il would give as
much 20 the idler As 10 the worker, 70 the
bad as % the good. Nihilism, This
panther having prowled seross other
lands has SET Is paws on our soil, and II
IS only waiting for the time in which to
spring upon IS prey. IL was lnihiilsm
that massScred tae heroic policemen OF
Chicago and St Loms few days ago,
and that burned the railroad property at
plt'sburg during the great riots; u was
Lihihsm that slew blsck people IN our
Northern cities during the war; II was
nihiism that again and sgain IN san
Francisco and New York mauled TO death
the Chinese; ii IS Inlhilism that glares
ont OF the windows Of the druukeries
upon sober people IS they go by. An!
its power has never yet been tested. IL
would, Il il had the power, leave every
church, chapel, cathedral, school-house,
college aud home in ashes.
Let me say, it is the worst enemy OF
the laboring classes in any country. The
honest cry for reform lifted by oppressed
laboring men is drowned out by the
yociferations for anarchy. The Grim
inals and the vagabonds who range
through our cities talking about their
rights, when their first right is the peni-
tenuary-if they could be hushed up, and
the down-trodden laboring men of this
country could be heard, there would be
more bread for hungry children. In this
land 7iot and Oloodshed never gained any
wages for the people, or gathered up any
prosperity. In this land the best weapon
is not the club, not the shillaleh, nor
firearms, but the ballot. Let not our OPP
pressed laboring men be beguiled to
coming under the bloody banner of nihil-
ism. II will make your taxes heavier,
your wages smaller, your table scantier,
your children hungrier,
YOUR SUFFERING GREATER.
Yet this nihilism, with feet red of slaugh-
t4r, comes forth and offers its hand for
the republic. Shall the bans be pro-
claimed? II so, where shall the marriage
altar beY aud who will be the officiating
priest? and what will be the music? That
altar will have 10 be white with bleached
skulls, the officiating priest must be d
dripping assassin, the music must be the
smothered tone of multitudinous victims,
the garlands must be twisted Of night
shade, the fruit must be apples of Sodom,
the wine must be the blood OF ST. Barthol-
omew's massacre. MOI 1t is not to nj
! hilism, the sanguinital monster, that
| this land Is to be married.
| Another suitorfor the hand of this ma
tion is intdellty. Mark you that all
anarchists are intldels. Not one OF them
believes in the bible, and very rarely any
of them believe In God. Their most con
spicuous leader was the Other

anarchists, found dynamite and vitrio

wing is in the form of anarchy ana is TO
