The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-08-22
Is 1T ANARCHY?

q cal, active audFCHlSl-tue man WHO tHluks
and who believes that he should throw
e the bomb and who throws it-wto has
7 the courage to place a Eliminating cap in
his hungry mouth and go to hell-than il
has for the other species-the mental an
archist who thinks, yet dare not do!
THE GLOBE would caution moderation
in everything. 1t would regret to see
Hunger apply the torch. 1t would de-
plore the act of desperation if Despera,
ton saw fit to murder. AS an American
it would be humiliated to see the cities
sacked, and it most assuIedly would not
attempt to condone such a crime, but
would insist with all its vigor that those
engaged in such criminality be speedily
prosecuted. THE GLOBE at all times and
under all circumstances believes in hon
esty and it believes in ~even-handed JUS
tice. And the fact that it believes in
common honesty must relieve it from
any charge of anarchical u%tterances.
When ABRAHAM LINCOLN issued the
greatest document which the world has
known-his emancipation proclamation
-severing the chains which had before
bound millions of human beings in pitt
less servitude, he said: ut may seem
strange that one class of humanity should
gain its bread by the sweat of another's
brow-but let US judge not that we be
not judged"
But to-day it does seem strange that
in a country which has not felt the
whitening breath of famine, which her
aids from Maine to Oregon on the east
and west, and from the boundary lines of
the British possessions on the north to
the Gulf of Mexico on the south, a story
of bounteous crops and the manifold
blessings of the Supreme Judge that
the red mouthed wolf of Want and Hun
ger should prowl around the door of the
American ~workingnan, and it seems dou-
bly, strange that in the great metropolis
of this country, two hundred thousand
men-men who are not idlers, men who
are not bummers, men who want to work,
should be denied the privilege of honestly
earning bread enough to appease the
hunger of their wives and little ones
While just across the street the clink of
millions of gold dollars assimilates with
the direful dirge of starving humanity.
Men in mansions, with their reputed
millions, loll lazily in cushioned chairs,
while Drawn and muscle, eager for en-
ployment, goes home to view the empty
larder and hear the agonizing shrieks of
starving children.
Is it right?
Nanlre has done her share. In the
heart Of the burning desert an oasis is
found. There the traveller can quench
his thirst and supply all that is necessary
for existence. In the wilderness the
hunter may find his game and satisfy his
appetite-Gut in the heart of civilization,
where we boast that we should do unto
Others as we would they should do unto
US where we are ~admonished to forgive
our debtors, and where we pray to be led
into temptation, the grim and. be-
dizened visage of the money changer,
whose name is Avarice, meets the view
of him Who tolls and says: ITO hell with ,
you. We must have 10 per cent on cur :
rency. We have cornered it, and we'll $
you squirm."
And the result is known. {
Honesty, Competency and Capability l
are kicked into the streets, go ragged and
go hungry, waiting for a crowd of ASST
nine statesmen to do something for their I
relief, and no man capable of Judging, !
before COP could make an affidavit that {
are a half dozen statesmen in the ,
congress of the United States. =
And yet GROVER CLEVELAND the man 7,

his message said I
The existence of an farming and ex raor-
