WHAT MAKES ANARCHISTS.
INA Fruit which Is Gathered rom tne
Upas Tree Of Monopoly.

Upas Tree of Monopoly.
The tremendous discontents. men
aces and dangers of the present time
are the natural issue of an erroneous,
unjust and oppressive economical sys-
TEN. The monopoly tariff and over
taxation are at the bottom OF all the
evils that threaten. i
We shave anarchy as preached
by puny agitators who live upon the
contributions of complaining wage
earners. On the other side, we have
the protected manufacture OF anarchy
privilege compounded on privilege
--bounties and monopoly piling up the
wealth of the whole people and resign
ing that wealth into fewer and fewer,
rreedier and greedier hands
We have anarchy-more hideous
than vice, the monster. He who goes
out to parley with it is contaminated.
He who seeks to excuse it is lost. But
anarchy is the fruit which is gathered
from the upas tree of monopoly. 1t is
logical that all the scoundrels, hot
heads, "martyrs" and fools of other
worlds should flock to gather tribute
from the "high wages of America,
and it is q matter of course that, be-
ing cozened, the ire of such adventur-
ers should cool only on the scatfold.
When, therefore, society tramples
on the red and black dags-when the
fomentors of bloody strife are caught
and punished-society has only healed
the ulcer; society has not destroyed
the seed of the sore. So long as there
shall be coal monopoly to freeze
widows and orphans; Hooking VAL
lev syndicate to extirpate miners; q
Standard Oil Trust to terrify dozen
States and elect Senators who desert
their own party on pecuniary ques
tions; copper trust to add double to
the cost; q sugar trust to drive men
out OF employment and into the places
of the striking car-drivers; flour
trust; a trust for every eatable, potable
and convenient--a trust OF Senators
who double the price of every woolen
thing in every house and on every
human being in the Nation-so long
Anarchists will make their apparitlon.
The dragons teeth of protection must
not be sown if the armed malcontents
of anarchy be not expected to spring
out of our once blessed soil.
Why is anarchy newP Why did oul
forefathers fail to see that fanatics
from European tyrannies would some
day charm our people away from thell
native oratorsp 1t is because our lore
fathers did not dream that statesmen
and Presidents could ever rise up tt
preach that tax is blessing-that
surplus of 100000, 900 is wise con
traction of the moneys-that tobacco
is necessity and sugar luxury
that man should have seat IN tn
Cabinet because by tax-farming he hat
amassed a fortune with which to brib
electors.
These things defy reason. Tha
their combined wickedness, as llnke
in the Mckinley platform, should gal
the popular approval, completes tn
cause, the source, the fountain OF an
archy. No other land is SO insane
Hither let all criminals hurry. Th
wrong is right here. Here the poo
NAV be robbed, for they have bee
persuaded it is well to be despoiled.
Can Americans 60 on hanging vi
lains of low degree without lookln
higherp Are wicked men, STEPPED
scandal, swollen with plunder, to strl
before the Nation forever, hastenlna
with naughty brow, the eviction
our inhabitants and welcoming the al
order of aliens?
These questions are here. III
Goulds on the outside and the Senator
ON the inside of official life have lntr
duced novel order of things. WI
not return to the democratic wa.
which made this land the envy OF ma
kindp Why sustain q feudal syste
which is fast fetching US revolution
revolutionists and anarchy, IN tact!'
