Ignorance is one cause-and ! the
chief cause-in the production of an.
arcby. .a
Poverty is another cause. Destitu-
tion breeds discomfort, discomfort be-
gets madness, and madness begets
violence
A third creative cause in the genesis
Of the anarchists is vicious, malic-
ious, wicked spirit, or character.
Ignorant as to the causes of the
inequalities of the distribution of the
material wealth of the world-unable
to comprehend or to discover the oc-
casion-or explanation-of the destitu-
tion Of the masses-the anarchist
charges existing social, political, ana
religious institutions with RESPONSE
bility for his condition. Malicious,
wicked, and desperate he demands
abolition Of all social and civil law
and order. And since he ignorantly
places the responsibility Of the real
and imaginary evils he suffers upon
the existing order Of things, he madly
concludes that civil rulers are his
enemies, and DEGREES their removal
by means Of dynamite, the daggar,
and bullet.
One hundred and fifty and more,
officials have been slain by them from
eighteen to nineteen hundred-one
hundred and fifty in Que country; ana
anarchy is hardly one hundred years
old. Among these are Alexander II
of Russia, President Carnot of France,
King Humbert of Italy, the Empress
of Austria, and our own honored, il
lustrious, noble, christian President
Mckinley. Russia, Italy, Spain and
Ireland swarm with them. There are
cities in our own country in which
these foreign fiends rendezvous.
How can this government rid her.
self of this pestilenual, demoniacal,
devilish foreign rabble?
1. Prohibit their immigration to this
land by strict immigration laws.
2. Make it a punishable crime to
advocate the murder of any nation
al or state officials.
3. Make it capital crime punish
able by the death penalty for any
one to attempt the murder of any
chief magistrate whether state or ma
tional or Of any jurist or legislator,
state or national.
4. Expell all known anarchists now
here.
5. Let all parents and all others
who have the training of the minds
and the moulding of the character OF
the youth of the land instil in their
minds a spirit of obedience to law, a
| love of order, and devotion to home
and native land.
g. Abolish the saloon, that vipers'
nest, that has furnished so far ninety
per cent of our criminals. The saloon
may be "gold mine to the brewer,
distiller, and saloon proprietor; but to
the home, the state, and the nation,
it is hell. Abolish the saloon every.
where, whether in the White House
or at the railway crossing.
But, argues the man and woman OF
corrupt morals, and low, grovelling
ideals of life, This is free country.
"a free country" Are men here
and in this cradle Of liberty, in this
asylum for the oppressed of every ma
tion-here, are the liar, and libertine
and burglar, and traitor, and bomb
thrower, and dagger devil, and bullet
fiend, free to follow the impulses OF
their wicked hearts?
Liberty without wisdom and with
out virtue, is the greatest of all pos
sible evils. The highest liberty is ir
harmony with the highest laws. True
liberty is positive force regulated
by law-the moral power of self-gov
eminent; the liberty that infidels ant
anarchists demand is carnal, inferna
selffishness. A mans liberty ends
and ought to end, when that liberty
becomes domestic, social, moral
political curse. The liberty for which
the corrupt plead is anarchy. 1t Il
freedom to do evil. 1t is license t.
