A PROBLEM SIMPLIFIED.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The action of the socialists of this
country in withdrawing from and
anathemetizing the anrchists simplitiesr
in my opinion, hitherto complicated
problem and renders feasible a plan by
which both they and the plutocrat can
be eradicated at minimum of expense
and trouble to the people.
Both of these parties are pests and
represent but the two sides OF the one
| fact-uselessness to the well-being of a
republic.
MY race not having been heard from
on social subjects, humbly submit this
proposal, sincerely hoping Qike DIR.
Talmage) that what appears nonsense
to me may seem sense to SO melody else.
1t is not so much from material con-
siderations that their room is needed,
the threats of one being as futile as the
| power of the other to hurt the country
as a whole.
They are like couple of varmints on
farm, creating lots of excitement and
committing some lepredations, but the
crops come and go about the same.
Now it is written short horse is soon
curried. Let congress carefully tabulate
the names of all inhabitants who are
avowedly Anarchists and also prepare a
list of those citizens who are in posses
sion of to exceed S10,000,000. The line
must be drawn somewhere and the man
too rich to be president is as inimical to
the welfare of a republic as to the good
of its citizens.
Therefore let all Police Pinkerton or
other public protection be withdrawn
from both and bid them practice what
they preach as between themselves with
out let or hindrance. Each shall have
the widest license to hang, bomb, or
shoot each other, while at the same
time all property rights are sacredly
guarded and the most rigid pound of
flesh requirements instituted in regard
to the personal safety and now interior
ance of those not on the list.
The attitude of the county would be as
Quilp in Dickens, intent only on keeping
the brats pounding each other.
| am acquainted with the individual
wealth of the Astors, though believe
the family, under the conditions stated
could offer the country a better excuse
for not sitting on their front door steps
during fine weather, than the considera-
tions of form recently urged by
Willie"
Also if jay Gould met Herr Most the
result would be esteemed as good, better
or best, according as the former latter
or both were put out of existence.
Let Lucy Parsons be free to brighten
the declining days of good old man
Blair, whose lettering footsteps should
be regenerated into an active quick step
as he approaches his grave, PLAIN or
bricked accompanied by the sympathy,
love, and reverence of fifty million
dollars.
Can any bequest, public or private,
commend that man to the true respect
of mankind? Mol His wealth will die
with him. According to his power,
however great or small in proportion to
the needs of the INDECENT, he has been
against the widow, orphan and the I'M
fortunate. And in the light of that ten
dency we should judge it a higher virtue
to withdraw the recognition of brother
hood, though we personally bear him no
malice.
Or why should we deal gently with
the pluto and harshly with the Anarch-
ist? Are millionaires the exemplars of
the wide spirit of liberty? Are we inter-
fering with the highest ambition nan
can entertain? Then is unlicensed Gu
pidity become a virtue and the refined
means of oppression shall be our noblest
study.
We are not finished talking of the

yet such is the wealth Of. the Republic
that that fire created loss Of not as
much as one microbic citizen is worth.
Que little Rockefeller could change the
ruthless ccnflagration of a city to

Perhaps we did not ask him before,
but the time viii come when we will not
lose so much By not asking fox it. 4.
