v nat Lney WEoGe ana what Ghey spoke;
and in these days it seems tame. They
were hunted to death or to prison as
leaders Of a revolt Of ideas--not Of arms.
Show me an editorial or a speech in
which Parsons, Fislden, Spies, or either
of the eight, ever advised the use Of
dynamite against capitalists or property.
The police and Pinkertons of Chicago
had killed scores Of workingmen and
manned hundreds without the slightest
excuse but mere brutality. This had
been clearly proved, but not q prosecu-
tion could ever be got to a conviction;
the law officers stJod by the police.
Some Of these instances are given in
Gov. Altgeld's paper accompanying the
pRrdon-s document our newspapers do
not publish. Every time q strike was
declared, Bonfeld's murderers were
speedily msrshslled and set to work
clubbing and shooting men who had
done nothing whstevsr; yet all legal
redress was persistently denied Par
sons and Spies declared that the work
people Of Chicago, like our American
forefsthers, had no hope left but resist
ance Of these police mobs carried on in
the name Of the law of Illinois. No
other use Of arms was ever advised than
in self-defense against these outrageous
sggresslons; and | should blush for the
recreant American who would condemn
Bunker Hill by denouncing that advice.
But that an attempt would be made in
this country to dispense peaceable pub
lie meeting, no one had then supposed;
and no resistance was thought Of when
that unexpected event occurred. There
was not the slightest evidence that the
bomb -thrower had ever so much as heard
Of these men or Of their utterRnces.
Nothing could be more inconsistent
than for an anarchist, as an anarchist, to
preach violence; for his whole creed is
that violence should give place to love.
Anarchism is the philosophy Of peace
of universal brotherhood. The much
cursed red flag merely symbolizes the
sentiment that God has made Of one
blood all the nations Of the earth. The
anarchy OF the newspapers and of the
old dictionaries is not the anarchy OF the
anarchists, which means nothing else
than society without the rule Of physical
force - society without government.
Every Quaker is an anarchist. Every
advocate Of the cessation Of war, Of the
humane treatment of prisoners, Of the
abolition of capital punishment, is to that
extent an anarchist. Nothing could be
more essentially American than is an
archism. 1t is no foreign importation" {"
ThePoliticGy Science Quarterly emsnstss
from Columbia college-s highly respect
able source In that publication for
March, 1889, the first place was occu-
pied by an article on Scientific AnRrch-
ism," by Herbsrt L. Osgood, not an
anarchist. Here is an extract from that
article Of thirty-six pages:
ut is useless TO claim that it is wholly
foreign product, and for that reason to
clamor for restrictions upon immigration.
Newspaper utterances on this phase Of the

economic and political conditions. It is to

When these five men were to be mur-
dered upon the scaffold, the Chicago po-
lice force was increased and armed with
Winchester rifles; the national guard
was under arms, and United States
troops were despatched to the scene, be-
cause q rescue was feared. Now, is it
not a little remarkable that the whole
military power of Illinois, aided by the
army Of the nation, was deemed neces-
Rary TO secure the hanging Of five COM
mon murderers in ChicagoP Is it likely
that 5000 people would assemble to dedi-
cate q monument to some common mur-
derers2 And why should the press Of
the whole country be STARTLED" by 30
ordinary an occurrence as the pardon Of
three alleged murderers believed by the
governor to be innocent Of crime? Surely,
he must be blind indeed who cannot sec
that neither friends nor foes suppose
those men were hanged or imprisoned
for murder. Go read the editorials in
the cspitslistic press, and see yet more
clearly that plutOcrscy does not regard
them as murderers. The Topeka Capital
does not charge that this pardon will en-
courage crime, but that, by this act Of
simple justice, anarchy receives q
powerful impetus" Nearer yet does this
grovslling worshipper of msmmon come
to the truth. Read "What Bismarck
says Of socialists in Germany may be
said of sssassins of the HRymsrket
stripe-'Thsy are the rats Of the country,
to be stamped OUT" Sof These "as-
sassins," then, are to American plutoc-
rRcy what the socialists are to the
plutocrsts Of GermsnyP 81 thank thee,
Jew, for teaching me that word" Not
murderers, but dissgreesble reformers
are to be stamped out" The Capital
reveals the truth: The persecution Of
these men by American capitalism was
Identical in motive with tie persecution
Of the socialists by Bismarck. What say
the German readers of the CGpitaI to
thisP Surely, the Capital saw not the
effect Of this confession. But this same
editorial divulges yet more clearly the
motive Of the infamous conspiracy to
destroy eight workingmen for the crime
Of being intellectual and brave. Read:
1.-THE Chicago platform, with it's foolish
attacks on the laws Of the government, and
the democratic speeches, editorials and
villainous cartoons, aiming to foment hatred
Of capitalists who have risked their money
in building American industries and to en-
courage wage -earners to expect impossible
ties, worked great injury to public
confidence and prosperity. Gov. Altgeld,
by his release Of the HRymarket assasSins
for the purpose Of currying favor with the
worst elements in Chicago, is working for
the same dangerous ends"
This pardon tends to ''the same danger
GUS end" as speeches, editorials and
villainouS cartoons aiming to foment
hatred Of capitalists who have risked
their money in building American indus
tries (poor unselfsh capitalistsD and to
encourage wage earners to expect impos-
nbilities" Here again we have the fact.
Those men were sgitating for the eight

they were the leaders of gigantic strike

4 Three Fold Cord.

First Strand Would it not sound
harsh and severe to say. and yet it is
not true. that every legalized liquor
establishment in the land is Chris
tian institution?
Second Strand Is il not absolutely
true that if every Christian voter in
the nation would positively refuse to
support with his ballot. any tax or Ii
cence party. there would not be one
lsgalized saloon in the United States?
Third Strand, If Christian men per-
sist in voting for tax and license par
ties are they not as guilty of legali-
ling and perpetuating the liquor traf-
fic as in any other man, even though
the other man be q brewer or saloon
keeper.
Reader! Are you helping to make
the cord which binds the saloon to the
nation? Consider these three pr0po-
sitions in the light Of your own ac-
tions and decide the matter as you
are willing to meet the same in the
day of judgement!

In az editorial on ''The Building Up
of party" the Esg York Evening
Post said recently: '.The breaking up
of the old parties could not be more
strikingiy exemplified than in the APP
pointment to the Supreme Bench by
the outgoing Republican president of
a representative Southern Democrat,
and in the selection for the state de-
partment by the incoming Democratic
president of a Northern man who was
until last year prominent Republi-
can. Neither of these actions would
have been possible in a period when
party lines were strictly drawn, and
both Harrison and Cleveland show by
their course in these two matters that
they appreciate the changes which are
in progress.

Scranton has just developed re
markable case of youthful depravity.
Jim Smith and Charley Tagart, two
youths of that town, few nights ago
robbed the bookkeeper Of a leading
mercantile house of $4,000 and then
carrying him out in the suburbs of town
riddled him with bullets. When found
late next day, more dead than alive,
Mr.. Cook. the wounded man, related
his experience, and when the young
men were arrested later on suspicion.
he identified them and they made a
full confession. Also that they had
been previously implicated in the muir
der of tramp but short time before.
1t was with difficulty that the officers
saved them from being lynched, and
the Governor was called upon TO order
out the Scranton military company to
protect them from the outraged com
munity.

The whisky distillers of Ohio and
Kentucky have lately been clamoring
for an extension of the bonded period
for paying the revenue tax. The Gus
tom heretofore has been to grant this
already privileged class seven months
of grace beyond the three years allow
ed by law for the payment of the fox.
The bonded warehouse storage this
year is large in Kentucky, where the
crop so far has been double that of
1892, and the round total of gallons
will creep up close to 50,OOOGO The
number of gallons of taxable spirits
of all kinds in bond in 1892 was No.
S13,934, and the owners, to take it out,
will be obliged to pay the government
in revenue taxes the sum of S122554,-
63O.7O. This sum does not include the
estimated taxes for the present year.
