Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-03-03


dom and equality for the fair sex began
when he CINE upon the following from
the same work, page 2i6'
Between woman and man there may
exist love, passion, ties of Gus
tom, and the like; but there is no real
society. Man and woman are not com
panions. The difference of the sexes
places a barrier between them. like that
placed between animals by a difference
of race. Consequently, far from advo-
eating what is now called the emancipa-
ton of woman, should incline rather,
If there were no other alternative, to eX-
clude her from society. The rights of
woman and her relations with man are
yet to be determined. Matrimonial leg
islatlon, like civil legislation, is a matter
for the future to settle"
When the instance of bride being
burned to death was an item of news.
| Mr.. t. said: "lave no marriage laws"
The above was his authority. When he
advocates abolition of the State he has in
| mind a passage on page 46:
''The whole strength of the State is at
the service of each citizen; the obligation
which binds them together is absolute"
And page G.:
"Now, o regulate the police system
and the government, labor, exchange, in
heritance, etc, that the means of labor
shall be shared By alt equaliy, and that
each individual shall be free; and then
society will be perfect"
On page | 10 we learn why private en-
terprise Is superior to State control of in
| uuStrV and more lust:
"a force of one thousand men work
ing twenty days has been paid the same
wages that one would be paid for work
ing fifty five years; but this force of one
thousand has done in twenty days what
a single man could not have accomplished
though he had labored for million CEN
turtles. Is the exchange an equitable
one: Once more, no; when you have
paid all the individual forces, the collec-
tive force still remains to be paid. Con-
sequently, there remains always right
OF collective property which you have
not acquired, and which you enjoy I'M
| JUSTLY "All accumulated
capital being social property, no one can
be its exclusive proprietor page 1907.

like every instrument of labor, an ac-
cumulated capital, and collective prop
erty, inequality of wages and fortunes

Turningnow to Bakunine we learn why
Mr.. Tucker loves personal liberty to eat
taught; why foIce is despotism. Mr.
Tucker translated Bakunine's "God and
the State and admires it very much
The following shows why:
"The social revolution alone will have
the power to close at the same time all
the dram shops and the churches Till
then the people, taken as a whole, will
believe; and if they have no reason to
believe, they will at least have the right. "
X obstruction must be spread
among the masses without stint, trans
forming all churches into 50 many schools
of human emancipation. y The
first day Of scholars life, if the school
takes infants scarcely able to stammer a
few words, should be that of the great
est authority, and almost entire absence
of liberty; but the last day should be
that of the greatest liberty" ..
OF course, the adult who knows of
liberty scarcely more than an infant shall
go through the same discipline; and be
granted liberty when he has learned
Bakunines doctrines. 1t is not author
ity that fixes the time for freedom to be-
gin, because an anarchist fixes it.
The following is from Bakunine, but
was not translated by Mr.. Tucker, as far
as know. But it exhales the same per-
fume of fraternity, charity and liberty:
1.-THE entire filthy society of our time
should be divided into different cate
gories. The first consists of those who
are Immediately sentenced to death.
The second, of those who are temporarily
permitted to live so that they will, by a
series of terrible deeds, drive the people
into open revolt. To the third category
belongs number of beasts pos
SCISSORS of vast wealth; they
must become entangled and confused,
and by making oursel, cs masters of their
dirty secrets we bring them over to our
selves The fifth category
y all those who prattle in meet
ings or as writers. They must be driven
to practical and dangerous manifest
ations."
submit these quotations to refute any
charges of inconsistency against Mr..
Tucker. ZENo,
