Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-02-18

DO the oppressed cry out against
oppression? Immediately there arises
an advocate of unbounded license.
and brings just rldicule upon all
who are foolish and weak enough,
aye, and oppressed enough, to desire
the i'm mpOsslble other extreme. ...
Another DEPRESSION, you say. Yes,
but it may explain something,
Perhaps some sensitive critic may
object to placing the blame of per
sonal at1lation and egotistic exalta-
ton upon the innocent bean and the
converted hog. Still the circum-
stances seem to justify "a search for
causes, and the well known effects of
bean eating and the equally we'll
known qualities of the hog may with
some show of right be offered in ex-
tenuatlon. .....H. ......E.... ........
So, when we consider the remarks
made by the editor of paper named
after the alleged end and means,
"Liberty,' on q recent occasion we
are forced to some conclusion, and
no doubt we shall have a large fol-
lowing Of the same opinion, namely,
that surfeit of Boston baked beans
acts peculiarly upon a certain excep-
tional Bostonian. ..
"There are two schools of Social
istic thought" says the straight
haired Ben Tucker. You see, the
old game Of |'diyide and conquer" is
attempted. But when be tries to
explain that one is socialistic and
the other anarchistic, it seems queer.
However, when YOU come to find out
what these schools consist of the
bean theory seems practical and
sound. ....
Socialism sanctions authority
(that is, anarchism) do not.
On the one hand are the ignorant
Socialists; on the other, the sole
proprietor Of Liberty.
These are the '''two schools"
There are others who call them
selves anarchists, but they don't
count, says the one "schooP'- Ego,
for they advocate regime of an
archism fully as despotic as the State
Socialists themselves"
| want no government, no laws.
Why, if those ignorant Socialists had
their way, nobody could hire any
one else
This. seems as if the editor, the
progenltor, of Liberty, wanted to
hire some one, or wanted to be hired.
This can only be accomplished when
every one is free to do as he pleases.
Every one would be bound by the
only moral mind your own
business. :"
This, by the way, sounds very
much like the voice Of the renowned
Professor Sumner, who recently ex-
planned "W hat social classes owe to
each other"
The great anarchist says, "They
CTucker) believe liberty to be a sure
cure for all the vices, and recognize
the right of the drunkard, the gam
bier, the rake and the harlot to live
their lives until they freely choose
to abandon them"
This tender care for the right to
get drunk, to gamble, to rake" and
to lead life of shame, is one of the
special characteristics of the School
consisting Of Mr.. Tucker and his de-
pendents (while they are such), In
the beautiful vista of universal an
archy one sees the offspring of Gin
dependent" individuals "belonging
exclusively to the mothers" until old
enough to belong to themselves.
This will be attractive to the rakes
for whose rights the glorious anarch-
ist so bravely contends. Just think
of it No responsibility, no duties,
Glove relations as varied as ar. indl-
vidual inclinations," and the moth
ers of babies to have sole possession
of them ~ E.a .u e4H.'.
How much more convenient for
such eminent Bostonans as Benja-
min R. Tucker is such scheme
than the miserable Socialist idea of
duties and responsibilities. s,#ar
You wouldn't catch Benjamin
walking the floor o'nights with the
baby. Oh, no! "We anarchists"
