Anarchy.

UeI Vi GulS great society breaks the
law, he loses his brotherhood to the
extent of his Offense. Where a large
number of members take advantage
OF the protecting law and conspirt to
control the balance of society, then
obligation to the conspiratOr ceases.
No matter how many laws in their
special favor exist-they are all
wrong, secured by fraudulent means,
null and void. IfplutOcracy will not
conform to the original agreement,
and having such power as to control
all labor, then the whole society is
shattered. There is still an obliga-
tlon between the men who have lived
up to the agreement-but since they
have been enslaved by the laws they
have allowed cOnspiratOrs to make.
they must unite in declaring them
selves free before they try to break
the chainS-elSe through misunder-
standing and fear they help to puH-
lSh each other for doing what they
all believe is right. They must dis

their natural condition. Then will
the glorious advantages of an equal
union assert themselves. If cut

without the protection of the people.
then you will see what gives it
strength. If it don't care d-n for
the people, let it also be id.
Now you have read so far, and you
consider the writer an anarchist.
But he believes the wrongs to the
American people will be adjusted
without viOlentrevolutiOn. The con-
ditiOn is desperate, and the criminal
money-claSses are insultingly indie
pendent of the people who have been
deluded into allowing them to ham
die the reinS of government so long
that they claim horse, cart and har-
ness. PlutOcraCy controls the coun.
try, steals the produce and Staryes
the people. Justice and personal
rights are ground to dust under the
chariot wheels Of opulence and inso-
lence. The most sacred laws of hu.
