Austria, France and Germany, the wages
are at tho starvation point and besides,
in the latter empire the operatives in some
places are compelled TO labor seven days a
week. II is such extremities as these that
drive honest men and women into
Nihilistic and aggrarian conspiracics for
the wholesale destruction Of life and
property. They believe, with the Catholic
Church, that they have the right to life,
and that II they have no bread OF their
own they have right to the bread that
others have. Revolutions are born Of in
