giving their ideas of the best way to
suppress the anarchists. They adj
vance and prescribe all sorts of nos
trums from deportation to killing them
as person would kill rabid dog.
They have nothing to say about the
causes that breed anarchy, because
that would involve the discussion of
social questions the existence of which
anarchists claim should not be per-
mitted. However, all fair minded
men entertain no fear of punishment
in giving expression about the causes
which make anarchists. First, land
the father of anarchy, is class legisla-
ton, bought and paid for by wealth.
second, the mother), is the maIadmin-
istration of good laws, bycorrupt men,
bought and paid for by the same
power. The birth of this monstrosity
is nursed by the ignorance of the ad-
ministrators of the laws, and the cow
ardice of the people.
It is said, and the Constitution pro-
vides, that all men are equal before the
law. IL Is damnable lie. / know of
precious few men who execute the
laws fearlessly and impartially when a
man of influence and power is pitted
against poor man without either be-
fore the bar of justice. To illustrate:
Mrs. Louise Pierini, widow with
number of children, owns a building in
Virginia City which Is assessed at
5000. She leased it for two years at
$l5 month, proving the value of the
building to be less than 81, 500, at which
sum she is willing to sell. She APP
peared before the Board of Equaliza-
ton by attorney and asked a reduction
to full cash value of the property, and
the Hon. Board refnsed-refused re-
quest that it would grant to any
drunken loafer with influence for
votes. Her rents amount to $3.50 a
year and her taxes to over 500. Sub
tract necessary repairs, and you find
the property absolutely confiscated,
because repairs in Virginia are excess
sive. Is that not enough to make an
archists, when we see a person robbed
in that manner under the sanctity of
the law? And this is only one instance
peeping out of the clark pile of human
mockeries."
There are all kinds of anarchists. |
just like there are all kinds of money |
on a race track One class believes in |
free love, and teaches that all other
questions are of minor Importance. |
Rev. @. o. Brown seemed to have been |
tainted with this species of anarchy
and there are others. Another class
are advocates of Anarchist Commun-
ism; they hold that equality of oppor-
tunity alone constitutes liberty This
class believes in general uprising of
the people and condones assassination,
though does not advocate it, when di-
rected against oppressors and tyrants.
Another class is composed of Individ-
ualists. These GO on their own hook.
Each Individualist, necessarily, must
entertain his own beliefs, and all diff
fering one from the other, and nee
essarily includes all means from
peaceable methods to assassination. |
Scholgosch, as the name of the
assassin of President Mckinley is pro-
nouncsd, doubtless was an Individual
ist, as they cannot be said to belong to
q class. Another class call themselves
Nom Resistant Anarchists. They adj
vocate peaceful methods to attain
their ends. and even preach non-resist-
ence when attacked, robbed, and de-
prived of their rights. They believe,
or pretend to believe, that the tiger
and the wildcat in man has been so
tanned that he can now be trusted with
out any laws to make him good or
punish him for being bad. In this
particular, they claim that Jesus Christ
was an anarchist. All anarchists be-
lieve, or claim to believe, that every
man would have an ,evener chance to
overcome the obstacles naturally in
tersposed to obtain his living, and
therefore their object is the subversion
of all laws. Those who advocate the
assassination of rulers and oppressors
justify their belief and glorify the as
sassin on the ground that man who
coolly lays down his life in the re-
moval of tyrant for the benefit of
mankind deserves sympathy and graft
tude. ! failed to mention another
class of anarchists, and that is the
scum and dregs of depraved humanity
who will not work, and who want to
live upon the products of their indus
trious neighbors. Another class yet
are the trusts, and corporations, and
millionaires, who get much that they
do not earn, and the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial officers of government
who help them to get It. Every blk
