have no sympathy and little patience with
men who advocate the abolition of all au-
thority and declare that everything is
everybody's.'
1.-THE spread of this doctrine has been
phenomenal. The anarchist is most po-
tent enemy of organized society. Law and
order may well fear this hydra-headed
monster that has crept into its midst.
Would l favor more stringent laws for it's
SUPPRESSION No, thousand times, no !
Experience has conclusively shown that
anarchy cannot be stamped out by strin-
gent laws. There is only one remedy. Re-
form in our present social system.
1.-The increase jim anarchistic outrages
since the assassination of President Carnot,
the appearance of Rudolph Schnaubelt, the
Haymarket bomb-thrower in Honduras, as
contained in THE CALLS dispatches of last
Thursday the recent crimes in Italy for
which no less than thirty-fve anarchists
are now on trial, and the assertions from
recognized leaders of these enemies of gov
eminent, that the United States will in the
future be the home of anarchy--all this
proves that there is trouble ahead. The air
is full OF it wherever government has been
organized, and strange thing about an
archy is that it has taken the deepest root
under the Governments where the laws are
the most rigid for it's suppression. One
has only to glance at statistics to see evil
dences of its growth.
"In 1883 there were seve nty-one arrests of
anarchists in France, and in 1893 III. In
1894 the arrests on this charge numbered
over 200, and in Italy the arrests have in
creased in still greater ratio.
Twenty years ago dispute between
Kar1 Mary and Rakonnipo fho for, =, Jar ,f
anarchy, resulted in declaration of prin-
ciples, which have remained practically
unchanged up to the present time. These
principles were war against capital and
privileges of all kinds, abolition of the
state and all authority whatsoeyer-dyn-
astic or temporary. The affirmative doc
trine contained only two phases, DO what
you wish and Everything is every body's'
Soon after declaring this creed for his
party Bakounine, who was Russian and
educated at the School of Cadets in ST.
Petersburg, died July 1, 1875.
"Elisee Reclus, who succeeded him as q
party leader, Paul Brousse and other
writer's who were active in the promulga..
ton of his ideas, met at the grave of
Bakounine. They wrote biography of
him, which had an immense circulation in
Russia, France, Italy and Germany be-
cause of its fantastic style. Of course the
work made a god of the dead anarchist,
and at the congress OF trade unlonlsJs held
shortly after his death at Berne Carlo Ca
fiero and Enrico Malatesta, delegates from
Italy, with no better authority than the
biography, INDUCED in the widest praises
of Bakounine, and for the first time enun-
ciated the doctrine of propaganda by the
deed in the following language: THE
Italian federation believes that insurrec-
ton destined to confirm by deeds the an
archistic principles is the only means OF
efficacious propaganda
''The anarchistic party was now def
nitely constituted. 1t had clearly defined
tablished order. The results are easily
traced from year to year. In April, 1887
