The Anarchist.

Scarcely day passes that the newspa-
pers 60 not contain foreign or domestic
dispatches, or both, telling Of outrages
committed by anarchists, or of the ar
rest Of anarchists, or OF the acriv-
ity Of the anarchist propaganda. In a
general sort OF way most people know
that the anarchist is an enemy TO law and
government. But how many persons are
there in our southern section who know
the leading teuets of the anarchist S
faith IL IS safe TO say there are compar-
ativ2 few. a circular recently -disJrib.

mold in this country. The circular is
addressed THE Communist-Anarchist
to the Proletariat,'' and is, in part, as fol
lows:
We wage war against private property,
against the state and against the church
"a war having for its object their utter
humiliation
property, becase its history is the his DRY
of all human suffering. So long as pri.
vate property prevails there will be ri,h
and poor, but the latter will be dependent
upon the former Whoever. therefore, is
truly striving for the happiness of man
kind at large must join US in the cry
Down with private properly"
The state, far from being, as many
fancy, an Institution Tor the general well
being of the people, is simply means of
defence that the rich have set up against
the prepertyless.
Private property can only be over
thrown by the destruction of its guardian
the state, Both institutions must stand
and@ fall together. The watehword
therefore, of every consistent champion
of freedom must be, Down with the
state I...... ,...x 49,. HIS.
The churchr-nO matter what its par
ticular discrimination may be-is the con
densation of the most enormous swindle
ever perpetrated on humanity. IT. there
fore, the battle cry is to be raised against
all that tends to hold men in slavery
submission and ignorance we must not
fail to exclaim: Down with the church
Down with all creed swindlers and priest
humbug ~ 7~,t
There we have an explanation Of what
the anarchist is. He hates humanity,
property, the church. the state-every-
thing. His war is against everybody am
bilious enough TO own bed and civilized
enough to sleep in it; against everybody
who is industrious enough to work and
sane enough to enjoy the fruits of labor
against everybody who prefers decency
and order to squalor, lawlessness and
rapine He is more dangerous than the
assassin who stabs man in the back;
lie is the assassin of society.

He must not be permitted to be the curse
of America

Wages Take an Upward Turn.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie said some time
ago that tho manufacturing industries Of
this country would be able TO make
reasonable profits under the Wilson bill.
a great many other protected manufac-
Jurors took issue with him on the matter,
and, together with the protec ionist
politicians and newspapers, started in to
prove that he was wrong; that the mere
suggestion of the Wilson bill was suifi-
cient 10 smash industries. They ordered
wages slashed and mills closed, all the
while crying havoc, in order TO frlghten
workingmen, intimidate congressman, and
possibly save McKinleyism from anuihila-
ton.
But their bluff has failed The Wilson
bill has passed one house Of congress aud
will pass the other; and business is i'm
proving steadily notwithstanding the
efforts Of the protectionists 10 smotherit.
And, better still, wages are improving
in the face of the Wilson bill-the terrible
ogre that the protectionists vowed would
devour wage-earners, boots and all
A few days ago we noted the fact that
Silbermann's silk factory, in New Jersey,
had granted its employees an advance of
20 per cent. in wages. This has been fol-
lowed by the announcement that the
Frank & Dugan mills, at Paterson. n. J.,
have raised the wages of their employees
25 per cent, and that four o:her mills in
the same city viii fellow suit!

textile workers of New Jersey been favor

workers in the great iron industry have
taken an upward turn.
Twelve foundry firms at Cleveland,
O., decided on Thursday last upon pay
ing scale Of wages 10 per cent. higher
than they have been holding out for And
the remaining foundry firms in the city
will meet the advance.
The advance, it is true. merely

nevertheless, it is an advance, and proves
beyond refutation that the Wilson bill
had nothing to do with the reduction in

be blufred, and the manufacturers re-
stored their wages.
