in the Itcentieh Century. But for the mere purpose of castigation, which is always best aaryed by reproducing in an honest paper the utterances of dis honest one, we shall quote few remarks of our esteemed" contemporary.
 Anarchy" y"-to the editor of the Post Anarchy and Socialism are one" An archy is an international conspiracy of traitors under the several governments, and the red flag is the emblem of ths International pledge to excite revolution and rob other men of tegaily acquired property"
 Again:
 "This acknowledged emblem of blood. shed therefOre represents, according to Mr. ShevitCh, the only principles which insure to mankind that true liberty which is in the economic and in dustrial independence of the individual. Any ambiguity attaching to this 'econ, omiC and industrial problem is partly cleared by the explanation that such in- dependence can only be gained through the restoration of the land and the i'm plements of labor to the producer of wealth. Just why he uses the term restoration to indicate the fOrcble requirement of American property b. foreign-born conspirators he does not state.
 Lastly:
 "Mr. Shevitch concludes by affirming that Anarchy Socialism, demands no thing but what is promised by the Declaration of lndependence-life, liberty and happiness; proposition in which the people at large will agree so long as the eminent and logical adherents of the international emblem of Anarchy will not insist upon absorbing the life. liberty and happiness of the few million other citizens who are not Anarchists and dc not agree with the policy here outlined by Mr. Shevtch and few more dis contented idlers."
 When the political hirelings of few Contented idlers are reduced to such { penury of arguments in the defence of { system founded on the robbery of th' industrious millions, it is safe to asser that the system itself, with its w ashingtol Post and other eXcrescences, is fast sink ing under its own weight of iniquity.

FRUITS OF THE SYSTEM.
for the ignobl

The special object of the WoRKMENS ADVOCATE being the economic educa- ton of the industI al class, we cannot, for many reasons, undertake to supply our readers with the kind of news that is the chief feature of sensational jour nalism. But it is5 perfectly consistent with that object to present from time to time suggestive summary of the crimi' nal deeds and social misfortunes chronic led at length in other papers, because viewed in a heap and by the light of sociology, they form terrible picture of the degradation and misery into which numbers of people are daily plunged by our perverseeconomic system The last two weeks record is ghastly beyond expression yet not more So than that of many other weeks i'll the same year, It is, we might say, an average, typical record Let us consider a few of its most characteristic occurren. ces.
 Stephen Pettus, the wealthy Treasurer of the Union Ele vated Railroad Co. of Brooklyn, was shot five times and killed by a woman that he had wronged. She was only one of the many that he had similarly betrayed. On his person was found a letter. shO wing that he used his money to corrupt women whose hus, bands were in pecunlary difficulties. In it's editorial columns the Sm, with cha racteristic immortality, upbraided the Coroner for having allowed the publi- cation of that letter.
 A poor man, driven to toinsanity by the desertion of his wife, shot his two ba. bles. killing one instantly and wounding one fatally after which he made an unsuccessful attempt. upon his own life.
 Of suicides throughout the country the number can hardly becounted Most of them were caused by Institution. h this city, for instance wretchedly poor laborer with a wife and chil.i ren cut his throat with razor; he had nc work. On the same day. widow tha' the death of her husband had driven tc domestic service. put an end to hel wretched life by taking Paris green On that one day the New York Police reported seven cases of self-destruction
 The mere mention of the places where murders and burglarieS were committed would fill a column of this paper. Tht most notable event of that character was the shooting of Massachusetts millionaire on his estate by Italian poachers. The saddest of all was the arrest of four boy burglars in Newton N, J., who in three months had stolen iewelry and other articles to the amount

Although every possible influence has been exerted to keep from the public the loathsome scandal in which eighty or more members of the highest English nobility are implicated, the whole story will have to come out in its disgusting nakedness. If this does not prove a death, blow to hereditary aristocracy, what will!

of several thousand dollars. Nickel no- vels, it is said, are responsible for their demoralization but nickel novels are | only u product of our social conditions.
 Again, frauds, forgeries, defalcations ! and similar offences came to light in l. infinite numbers. Cashiers of banks, . treasurers of corporations, municipal officials, many lawyers and other orna- mcnts of the ruling class were found wanting.
 How many bright girls and honored women came to grief in the fortnight under review no one can tell. From time to time the sad story of victim comes to the surface. Here is an in- stance. Several months ago the body of q once handsome woman was found cold and stiff in an old carpenter shop in Brooklyn. Alcohol had killed her. Nobody could identify her, and she was buried in Pottcr's Field Itnow turns out that she was of good New Orleans family and highly educated. Here again, we have the old story of infidelity, divorce, degradation and ignominious death
 Our wealthy classes make great dis
 play of their charity on such occasions as Thanksgiving day. A few turkeys
 ostentatiously given to prisons and
 asylums are the apology they offer for
 driving by their system so many of
 their fellow beings into such insttu-
 lons. Of those who die in novels and
 by the roadway from want of food no
 account is taken. And the government
 un Ter their control cares no more, of
 course, for its wage slaves than they do
 for theirs. On that day ship-carpen-
 ter, for seventeen years employed in
 the Brooklyn Navy Yard, died of star
 yation, leaving 15 years old son. Last
 spring the government saw mill in
 which he worked was closed and did not reopen until Nov. 3rd, when he was
 taken back. During this long period of enforced idleneSs the poor man denied
 himself proper nourishment, that the
 little family so dear to him might not perish of hunger. He was large, strong man, requiring plenty of food; and he soon wasted away. When at last he returned to work, happy in the thought / that he would again earn sufficient mo- ) ney to keep the wolf from the door, his } strength failed him and he dropped down exhausted

France, under the law of July, 1889, can mobilize' 4,300,0 ,000 men; whereas Germany, under the law of March, 1887, is reported as capable of putting into the field an army of 100000 men. Should these mighty hosts some day be led against each other, we trust they will cast their leaders into the Rhine and shake hands across the noble stream.

According to official statistics, just issued, the number of crimes committed in Austria is steadily decreasing. Every year the number of persons sent to pri- son is smaller On the other hand, the number of suicides has alarmingly in creased. and these are mostly caused by poverty and distress. The progress of education has been great of late years in Austria, and the decrease of crime can plainly be traced to this circum- stance, but the progress of poverty through the development of industrial capitalism has been enormous. Hence the change from robbery and murder to self destruction.

The monument erected in Pittsburg to the memory of Thomas A. Armstrong, editor of the National Labor Tribune, by the members of the labor organizations of the country was unveiled in Ale gheny Park last Thursday withimposing ceremonies. Previous to the dedicatory services there was a parade of all the labor organizations of Pittshurg and sur rounding towns. The demonstration was one of the largest ever held in that city, nearly fifteen thousand being in line. If these fifteen thousand men would now stand together against pluto cracy and the wage system, they could erect a monument to their champions far more enduring than stone and marble.
