REAL ANARCHISTS.
WILL NOW TRY A HAND AT
GOVERNMENT.
VIII Despoil the People of Thor Rights
and May Bring on Bloody Revolu-
LONESOME of the Offenses OF Pluto
oracy.

sions which the cowardly grandsons Of
revolutionary heroes suffer are just as
CALLING and destructive of Liberty and
equality as were the unjust taxation
and tyranny our forefathers fought
against. The English and American
money power which is the same, have
crushed our government out of all SEM
blance to a government Of the people.
1--WE hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent, that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unali-enable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness: that to Sc
cure the rights, governments are in
stituted among men, deriving their
Just powers from the consent OF the
governed; that, whenever any form OF
government becomes destructive OF
these ends, it is right Of the people to
alter or abolish 1t, and to institute
new government, laying its foundation
on such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form as to them snail
seem most likely to effect their SAFETY
and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will
dictate that governments should not
be changed for light and transient eau
ses; and, accordingly, all experience
hath shown that mankind are more
disposed to suffer- while evils are suf-
ferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are
NI Dat n
abuses and usurpations, pursuing in
variably the same object, evinces de-
sign to reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, 1t is their
duty, to throw off such government,
and to provide new guards for their
future security.-Declaration of lnde-
pendence.
Such has been the suffering of the
useful producing classes of America,
and they are beginning to see the ne
oessity or restoring the government
to the people from whom 1t has been
stolen by the money powewr OF Eng
land and america
