WHY ANARCHY IN AMERICAN


assassination OF President Mckinley
was flashed over the wires has partially
subsidized and governmental affairs have
once more assumed normal conditions,
earnest thought is being engaged in
as to whence came anarchy?-why its
prevalence in this countryy-how
shall we rid ourselves Of its accursed
presence?
That anarchy is not OF American
origin all must readily admit. 1t Is a
notable fact that all those who are
connected with this organization OF
lawleSS men and women are either
foreign born or Of foreign parentage.
Pick up and read a report OF some
~anarchistic gathering and not a name
can be found of either American origin
or American sound. Therefore 1t is
the conner from foreign nations that
breeds this pest in the several states
of the union which leads to the query:
"Why are they allowed tocome here?'
Truth and candor impel the state
ment that, morally, the agencies of
the great corporations who go to
Europe for cheaplabor to supplant the
American product, are, to a great
extent, responsible forthe existence of
anarchy on this side of the oceans. In
the mad rush of the American mil
lionaire to Still further add to the full
ness of his Golfers he sends his agent
to Europe and employs armies of
ignorant foreigners to come here and
do his work in order that it may be
cheapened and for the further reason
that these imported people become
more willing slaves to his dictation
than the American born citizen who
has been taught freedom of speech
aud Of action and the equality of man
from the cradle to his days of matu-
rity and thence on through life.
In the employment of these for
eigners-mainly the scum of the
countries from whence they come
corporation agents look not either to
reputation or to family standing, but
mainly employ with an eye single to
the work to be done and with no care
for the agency through which it is to
be accomplished. Once here these
foreigners herd TO themselves, discuss
economics in keeping with their past
environments, scorn law and hate
society. They are the most suscepti.
BILE Of all people to the teachings Of
narchy and readily take up with the
idea that they have the inherent
right to kill.

assassination of President McKin.

suppressed in this country sounded
patriotic, but when the record is
searched the great truth presents
itself that Morgan and men Of his
kind have done much in the employ.
ment Of ignorant foreign labor t.
build up that which they now declare
must be exterminated. There is q
moral responsibility resting upon the
shoulders Of these men which they are
not answerable for here but for which
they must answer at the great court
of perfect justice upon the bench o.
which sits the Judge Of all men.
We believe that so long as thesC
foreigners are indiScriminItell

congress should waste no time il
