Lists, 10 says, are Olanoring for more gov
eminent, instead Of less, and are she vsry
opposite Of anarchists.
This may all be very true, but so long %
the ADVOCATE, the official organ OF the
party, continues TO champion the cause Of
the red flag assassinS, the organization will
be suspected Of holding similar views, and
no amount Of protestabions Of innocence
will save il from the consequences Of such
suspicion.
Now the editor Of the Republican
very well knows that the ADVOCATE
has not upheld any dynamite meth
ods." He very well knows that the
men who were tried in Chicago after
the policemen's riot at the HsYmsr-
ket did not advocate dynamite meth
ods Of reform" He very we'll kRoWs
that they were never convicted Of
even a knowledge Of who threw the
Hsymsrket bomb. He very well
knoWs that it is not known to-dsy y
who threw it. He very well kno We
that the policemen, and not the
workingmen, were the rioters on that
occasion. He very we'll knows that
no pretense was ever made that the
men convicted in that Chicago court
were convicted Of murder or Of any
other act of violence whatever. He
very we'll knows that all they were
pretended to be convicted of was that
they were anarchists, and that they
were even denied the privilege Of in
Producing testimony in court to
prove what they understood the doc
trines Of snsrscy to be.
We dwell upon this subject be-
cause we know that the trial in ques'
ton and the punishment inflicted
upon those men was a most dead ly
blow to human liberty IN America
They were prosecuted by organized
capital because they were prominent
advocates of the rights of labor, and
not because they were guilty Of any
act Of violence. The laboring men
OF the country are beginning to un-
derstand this fact, Notwithstanding
the efforts Of such men as the editor
Of the Republican to prevent it
This is evident from the Endorsement
by the American Federation Of Labor
and other great labor organizations
of Governor Altgelds pardon Of the
survivors and their release from per-
secution.
We do not expect to live to see the
millennium, but our contention is that
to believe and preach its possibility
and to labor for it's realization, are
not criminal offenses, and the safety
of society does not demand the ex-
termination of the enthusiasts who
may preach such doctrines, even
though they likewise know and de.
clare the wrongs to which labor is
subject at the hands Of capital.

THE EMPORIA REPUBLICAN, TALKS
OF THE nIMPOAHIR[R.n

again demonstrates that it can
neither state the position of an OPP
ponent fairly nor make an honest at
tempt TO answer an argument. In
the whole controversy concerning the
so-cslled Hsymsrket anarchists,
which began with the publication Of
Governor Altgeld's pardon, We have
simply insisted that the people shall
know the truth. We have SAID, and
now repeat, as the American Fedora
ton of Labor at it's late session de-
clared, that the trial and persecution
Of those men was a deadly blow Of
Che representatives of organized cap
itsl aimed at the liberties of the
American people. The press has
given currency to che most outrage
GUS falsehoods concerning the whole
affair, and has succeeded to a large
extent through appeals to the preju-
diCes Of the people, in establishing
false impressions by means Of which
great injustice has been done. Com
paratively few people have been able
to learn the real facts, and still less
have had the courage, in the face Of
the mighty prejudice that has been
created, to give them to che public.
We have been aware from the first Of
the powerful adverse public senti-
ment, created by the fRlsehoods Of the
press, that would be liable to greet
our statement OF the facts; but know
ing the injustice that has been done
we have not hesitated to speak the
truth; and it is a satisfaction now tC
be able to say thst our course az
usual has been generally commended
We have received letters among
others from leading lawyers In this
and other states commanding it, and
we are satisfied that time, In this as
in many other things, will justify the
correctness of our position.
At this time, when there is so much
bomb-throwing and so much violence
in different parts of the world, a dis
honest press is not slow to turn all
these things to account in nourishing
the prejudice 1T has formerly created,
and now the Republican and others
Of its class seek to convey the false
impression that we uphold and de-
fend these manifestations OF violence.
They know that this is not true, but
il serves their purpose to have the
people, If possible, believe that it is.
The course of the EmpOria Republi-
can upon this subject has been
specially unfair and dishonest, and in
the article Of February 8 it sustains
its we'll earned reputation in this re-
spect. We confess 1t has done better
than we anticipated in reproducing
one of our quotations from the So
called HSymarket anarchists, but its
treatment of that quotation and Of
our position respecting it and re-
speCting the men themselves could
not well be more unfair. Let us see
il this is not true. Here is the quota

THE BANK OF VENICE.

NDGLOk ADVOCATE:-l sent the following
questions to the Louisville Courier Journal,
Of Kentucky:
FirSt-When was the Bank of Venice es-
tRblished, and how long did il last?
SeCOnd-What was the basis for It's oirCu-
latiOn, gold or silver, or bothP
Third-Dld chat money ever pass az a
pHemiumP
I enclose you Courier ouEnsl's answer
because do not believe he has given plain
statement Of the facts. If he has, further
comment would be unnecessary, and this
consigned to the waste basket. II il is
necessary TO answer my questions, please
publish the Journals so we can compare
them. Respectfully, J. o. SHANNON.
The following is the reply of the
Courier. Journal:
GHand8, Kas.-When was the Bank OF
Venice established, and how long did il
lastG ]. %, S.
The So-Oalled Bank of Venice came into
existence in the sixteenth century and con-
tinued until the French occupation of
Venice in 1887.
But it was not properly bank. AS early
as 1855 the republic of Venice, being pressed
for money, had recourse to forced contribu-
lions from it's citizens. These contribu-
tiOns were to be repaid by perpetual annui-
ties from the state 10 the contributors. The
same was done again in 1880, and, for the
third time, in 1910. There arose in this
way three sets Of snnuities to be paid by
the republic, and their payment involved a
heavy drain on the national resources. After
the third issue this expense was reduced by
the extinction of the flrst snnuities--those
Of 1166. Az the same time the offices for the
payment Of the two remaining sets Of an
nuitieS were consolidated into one. These
claims against the state had by this time
been handed down through many genera
tions, just like British per cent. consols, or
United States bonds, and il had become
common for those who held them to Day
them away, in part or in whole, in discharge
Of private liabilities, or in exchange for
ready money. There were times, il is said,
when claims Of this kind would be at a
premium in cash, and they seem TO have
seldom fallen below par. In this way the
Office Of the Venetian consolidated national
debt, as il miGhtbe called, became bank,
in 30 far as il was q place where paper
vouchers were exchanged for cash.
The Courier Journal does not state
the facts nor does 1t answer the
questions proposed. The founda-
tion Of the bank Of Venice grew ont
Of the necessity of the government
for funds with which to carry on it's
wars with other countries. This me-
Cessity resulted in the levy of a
forced loan from the wealthy citizens
Of Venice. What was termed q
chamber Of loans" was established
and this eventually became the bank
Of Venice. This forced loan was
levied A. D. I'LL, and the foundation
Of the bank Is usually fixed at that
date. Funds once deposited in this
bank could never be withdrawn, but
the depositors were given credit for
them upon the books, and all pay
ments Of the people were made by
transfer OF these credits. Nor was
the money deposited held by the
bank for redemption of these credits
On the contrary, it was paid out by
the bank for government expenses,
and no pretanaa waa mada of aD,,

can philosophical anarchist who has
no more sympathy with the bomb
throwing anarchist whose emblem is
the black flag, than have any other
good citizens of this republic. Here
is distinction which the press pur-
poselV fails to make.
Now, whatever opinion may be en-
tertained concerning the possibility
Gf attaining to such an ideal state of
society as that spoken of by Mr..
Schwab, certainly no one could OBJ
ject, if 1t were possible, to the estab-
lishment of a condition where all
human beings would do right for
the simple reason that it is right, and
hate wrong because it is wrong"
But how does the editor of the Re
publican treat this subjectY Let us
quote:
This is not materially different from the
generally accepted ideas Of anarchy. Every
body understands, Of Coursa, that anarchy
means the absence of government. The
controversy is over the results that would
follow the establishment Of such a Condi-
bion.
Everybody understands, of course,
that anarchy means the absence Of
government" but everybody also
understands that such public teach
ers p as the editor of the Repub-
licsn have taught that the philosophi-
Cal anarchist would abolish existing
governments by bombs and by force
and not by the establishment Of the
conditions defined by Mr.. Schwsb
Who ever proposed the overthrow OF
the suspension of law in this country
or Of the necessary machinery for itl
enforcement except by the establish
ment of conditions that would render
them Unnecessary Nobody that We
know Of. Here is one place where
editors Of republican papers practice
deception:
The controversy is over the results that
would follow the establishment of such q
condition.
Very true; and who will question
the results Of the establishment of a
condition where all "human beings dc
right for the simple reason that 1t ll
right and hate wrong because it is
wrongW
Such a state Of society az the ADVooATR's
Hsymarket hero describes is now and will
be an absolute imposnbility until the in.
auguration Of the Lords reign Of 1,00C
years, and the ADVOCATE knowsit.
Certainly the ADVOCATE knows it,
But because the establishment oi
such a condition is admittedly not
probable in the immediate future,
must men therefore be hung for
teaching such doctrines There was
one who nearly 1900 years ago said,
"All things whatsoever ye would that
linen should do to you, do ye even &c
to them: for this is the law and the
lprophets." There was, of course, nc
probability tOhen this injunction lOaS

The latest fashionable freak among
women who are blessed with pretty
hands is to wear an immense ring, like
a Roman Catholic bishops, on the first
finger of tho right hand. It used to be
considered the height Of vulgarity to
place ring on the index finger, but
now this decoration IS the dernier ori,
The ring must be q superb enc and must
not partake Of the slender and graceful
daintiuess Of the "marquise" circle 1t
