princes of all heartess devils, Bonfedand Schaack
Who are the anarchists" of Germany? Men whose
platform is mder than the Declaration OF Independence
Who are the anarchists or nihiists OF Russia
Men who cry for constitution, and rebel against the
tyranny of the Greek OF the Uni

treaty.
Fieden and Schwab, the two men recently pardoned
after six years in prison for throwing the bomb the
Haymarket, when they known to have had nothing
TODD with IT. made speech at the recent annual COM
memoration of the cruel murder OF Parsons and his
companions. A beautiful monument has been erected
over their remains at Waldhem Cemetery and $500
people stood through the drizzng to witness the
ceremonies.
The most outrageously abusive headlines flashed in
the daily press the nation about "Anarchy Again.
'Anarchistc Yawp' ETC., etc. Now to show just what
kind OF serve liars these papers publish the two
speeches as given in the press report
After describing the execution, we quote from the
daies follows:
The speaker then reviewed shortly the situation OF
affairs and the causes which led up to the Haymarket
massacre He spoke of the workings the Internation
a Arbeiter Bund and Of the preparations by cap
aliss against threatened outbreaks of this organzar
ion. He said: ut this preparation by the capital
tc class which led to the shooting upon innocent men,
women and Children and which caused our leaders
advise our followers to arm and defend themseIve..
This advice perhaps foolish and imprudent. l,
be called wise under the circumstances for in the
sphere of physical power the capitalists far super
ior to the workingman. They controlled drilled men
and had at their command the best and most effective
engines of destT uctiOn."
He continued narrate the we'll known events which
took place up and including the throwing OF the
bomb, in regard to which he said:
I'VE DEFY the police to trace the thrower to our
ranks to show that the man who threw it was a
workngman. An Investigation not conducted by The
irepgs Of capital would put different liz ht upon tire
matter. Que thing is certain, the Investigation which
did take place, was perversion of Justice
er said 1.-The action of Gov. Altgei brings to the
that there yet of stern honesty of purpose
who have the to stand for the truth
there is bright future before in which truth and
right shall prevail He concluded his speech by
ne~tly appealing his audience submit all questions
of difference capital and labor to arbitration
the hope of the future he said to settle these
differences peaceably by arbitration.
F1ELDEN PRAISES ALrGELD.
Fielden spoke next and said
"You have met together to commemorate the men,
ory of the who lie IN Ter yonder You have

IF 1t is indeed injustice that you should be forced
to meet together t., protest against this wrong. No.
often in the history of governments has such crime
been done. The world knows that these had liv

workingman from his own, and in Instant subsection

of the people, but based the rights OF privilege
the only thing that gives US 'urage s that here and
there rises up like Gov. Altgeld, who has the
courage of his convictions. These of law
and order. by believed in peace and whatever cir
opinions of practical solution of these QUE sions the

After the singing of another song the assembly dis
persed.
But by far the most important part of this great
discussion is the statement of Gov. Ageld We give
the dispatch in full
