TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER :.

A CHICAGO anarchist made public speech
in Boston a night or two ago, in which he
said

accord until see anarchy firmly rooted in
this city. If my mouth is shut, others will
come after me and complete the work have
commenced. I expect to die some time,
and should not be surprised if die with

As anarchy means that individuals pos
sessing the requisite physical force may
commit any crime to which they may be
disposed with impunity, the man referred
to should be arrested at once as public en-
envy, and be put where hisseditious teachings
can be impaired only to stone walls and

The direct cause Of Springtield's present
prosperity is due to the downfall of the or
ganization known rs the Knights OF Labor
This Troublesome and turbulent element,
that has worked such great mischief and
almost irreparable injury throughout The
country, met with signal defeat hero.
Our town has all excellent class Of work
mon, and it was not the element to accord
with Parsons and his violent ideas; and
| while few persons here may have been
deuded, yet when the true character OF this
order was fully known and understood, all
good meaning persons withdrew. They
went into this order believing that it's object
| was for good, and as soon rs ii was discover
ed TO the contrary, they very quickly dis.
countenanced and left it. 4 few political
| demagogues and hacks have kept along
with the remnants Of the order, making use
OF 1t Tor their own personal, selfish ends,
| and that is all that is left Of it to-day.
Only q few of The many workmen of
Springfield ever had anything to do With
it, and now that most of them are cut, the
old skeleton Of the Knights Of Labor only
exists, and that for the purpose of evil, but
none for good, simply stirring up discord
and interfering in any way that they can
with the free and independent workmen of
our city.
Certain so-callcd newspapers have madc q con
tinual effort to fan the lame and appeal to the
passions and prciudces OF any that might bo fool
| lsh enough to follow their suggestions, but that
has been Of no avail, notwithstanding that last
spring they declared in most unlncasured terms
that our town was ruined, and some persons were
weak enough to believe it, But now that the
scare is over and the skies are once more fair and
bright and business throughout the city is i'm
proving, is proof positive that all this fulsome
talk was simply mischief put forth by diseased
brain.
Efectually disposirg OF the plans of the
Knights Of Labor and bringing to tho front free
noble and independent workmen, has placed
Springfield decidedly in advance of any other
town that has not done likewise We will now
enjoy tho fruits of this work in genuine good bus
lness boom here Confidence is restored business
can go on and prosper, free men can obtain en-
ployment without molestation, and no man or or
ganzation can dictate to any workman Each
| and all arc on an independent basis, where merit
can be rewarded and such is tho condition of our
city to-day. While many other cities are stagrcr
ing under the blows they have received from the
order Of the Knights of Labor Springfield today
is free no stkcs. no boycott, 10 riots. no anarch
ism, and no further intimidation OH the part of
this order is now possible in Springfield. Times.
