A young man who has been paying
a young lady of this village considera-
BILE attention, mustered up courage
enough to pop the question, the other
evening. It was received with great
appreciation. But the young lady,
being somewhat foresighted, asked
how they could live on the young mans
income. 1t was quickly explained:

filed with the victims. They took large
contracts from the manufacturers, and
while their dupes worked for them al
most night and day, sleeping on the piles
the contractors cleared from $3.50 to $500
and $500 profit every week.
1.-THE system grew rapidly until the East
side was honeycombed with tenement
workshops. The victims of the sweaters
accepted the condition of things as nor
NAL and unavoidable until the general
strike of the eloakmakers took place
about twelve years ago. When they real
lied that they had been victimized and
that better things had been within their
reach all along, thousands of the East
siders became anarchists and believed
that all the social conditions were wrong.
AS conditions improved with them
these East siders i realized that their
taskmakers and not the social system,
were to blame for what they suffered, and
most of them became American citizens.
For some years after the strike was over
the East side in the districts where the
tailors worked were hotbeds of anarchy,
though the police did not know it.
1.-The real anarchists in New York at
present are civil to everyone. polite in
manner and outwardly respectful to en-
ployers. The police do snot know them,
and they have a freemasonry of their
own. The scientific anarchists, Christian
anarchists and other types of propaganda
lists who say that the gospel of anarchy
is the gospel of love I look on as freaks.
Your genuine anarchist, who is one be-
cause he is born that way, wants abso-
lutte license, no religion, no government,
no marriage laws no family ties and no
authority of any kind Everyone who
is an employer, a capitalist or the head
of any department of government is for
him despot. who ought to be killed.
