cording to his statements there are
many more Anarchists" in this
country than the records show, or
else quite a good sprinkle Of Re-
publicans voted the Democratic
ticket.
If the statements of this sugges-
tive correspondent are TO be taken
as true there are many more "An-
archists" in this country than is
wholesome, and the country is in
danger OF a revolt.
Well, who's rerpoDsiblef What
party has made all the laws on the
statute books of the United States
for the past thirty years, save one,
as well as the law governing immi-
grafton, which admitted these San
arckists" as well as millions of
pauper Italians. Chinese, Poles,
Jays, and other foreigners who are
today taking the places that should
be filed by true and loyal American
citizens who are begging for a
morsel Of meal.
He says: 1T is too late 10 pray
after the devil comes Ali /
agree with you. But the devil has
been here in the shape Of the Re-
publican party since the departure
of Conkling, Garfield and the fol-
lowers Of Lincoln.
Let every reader answer himself
these questions, remembering al
the whilstbatsbe Republican party
has had the making of all laws,
(save one) for the past thirty years.
Why is it that there are one and
one half millions Of laborers out Of
employment tn day? Why is 1t
that six millions of people in this
country cannot tell where the next
meal is to come from? Why is it that
within the long years Of Republi-
can rule of THAR much hoaetad
prosperity that the poor Of this
country have not accumulated
enough 10 withstand a few months
of hard times. Say will you tell?
Why is it that today, out of sixty
five millions of people in the Unit
ed States that thirty-four thousand
own co., Of all the wealth Of the
country. Why is it that thirty
years ago there were not twenty
five men in the whole country
worth a million and over, and now
it would take you q whole day
to count them. Why is it that
John d. Rockefeller could in less
than thirty years accumulate such
a fortune, that his daily income, at
6s5 per annum, would amount to
S20S5S.O0 counting 1865 days to the
year; or $S6S.S7 COR every hour Of
The day. Almost the price OF q
days work for every time your
heart beats.
II this knight of the pen could
realize the vicious legislation en-
acted in the last few years by the
Republican party, against the poor
and in favor of the rich, and could
realize one penny for every time
his heart would threb, he Certainly
ought to have a good sum Of mon
ey soon. He says: "But after one
has been thoroughly imbued with
Democracy it takes a long time to
adopt himself to Republican princi.
pies" Well, l should think so. Do
you not understand that to take q
young man who has been reared
by and with good honest folks, and
under the christisnizing and REIN
ing influence of the Sunday School,
that it would take him q long time
to feel at home in = "den" whose
policy is TO take the last cent q
poor and unsuspecting being has.
That is just what the Republican
r.y has been doing-robbing the
~ 10 benefit the rich.
This pencil pusher reminds me
he little boy who was whlstling
Il, svhool. Upon inquiry by the
lie cher az to who it was, the little
lt.I.w replied, why it was me
iidn'i you know | could whistle.
rlir young student Of the press
has just found out he can whistle,
NJ, bless your dear life, when the
p ,or farmer Of this country feels
the advantageous effects Of the leg
islation now being enacted by q
party that is willing to step up and
take poor man by the hand, there
will be more men 10 whistle them
selves out Of the Republican party
than this little whistler could blow
in II he possessed the force Of cy-
clone. ] do not want, Mr.. Editor,
to take too much Of your space.
But l do want to ask this young
whistler few plain questions; and
for fear his timidity in public pre-
ven,s him from speaking out I will
