The tremendous discontents. mem
aces and dangers OF the present time
aru the natural issue OF an erroneous.
unjust and oppressive economical sys-
tenn. The monopoly tariff and over
taxation are at the bottom Of all the
evils that threaten.
We have anarchy force, as preached
by puny agitators who live upon the
contributions OF complaining wage
carners. On the other side. we have |
the protected manufacture OF anarchy |
privilege compounded on privilege
-bountics and monopoly piling up the
wealth OF the whole people and resign
ING that wealth into fewer and fewer,
crccdicr and grcedier hands.

who double the price Of every wooden
thing in every house and on every
human being in the Nation-so long
Anarchists will make their apparition.
The dragons teeth Of protection must
not be sown il the armed malcontcnts
OF anarchy be not expected to spring
out Of our once blessed soil.
