THIRD PARTY ANARCHISM
The Ishmazute has excited the
ire of some of the bosses and bossed
of th,o new party movement by stat
ing that the Acting. living force in it
is the idea of getting something- for
nothing, and Unit'the very lOutiils
tions of it are laid in the principles
of anarchism. That is * a serious
charge to bring against a movement
wbicb is heralded to tbe world as
one pure ip its hopes arid legitimate
in its aims. It is so serious a charge
that the IsnutuTH would uot make
it were ifc hot absolutely ’convinced
of its truthfulness,
, How is a political movement to< be
judged'?'' TfM IstfirAZLiTx thinks it
ought to be judged by its platform
and by tie utterance of its leaders,
if tbe evi
b* couculsive;
then the 'charge against the Third
party movement will be held, by all
reasonable, unprejudiced minds, to
Be \
' lAi.tr week the Ishmaeute pointed
out plainly and beyond the possihili''
ty of refutation the socialism (hut is
embodied in tlie St. Louis platform,
'ihal ia only one phase of the sug
gestion of getting something for
nothing which is held out to the de
luded men that are going in that way
They are going to need something
more tliuu their supposed land “her
itage,” to set them up in- the world
Men need money as well as land in
this work!; and just how they are
going to get it is an important cou
siderntione-■'This is ajiecially.theca e
with lofeicncc to those people who
.have nothing to sell, and no collater
al on which to borrow. How are
they going to get money t
The question wife answered a few
weeks ago by W. T. Christopher in
an editorial paragraph in the Monte
zuma Record, He is the chairman
of the Third party executive cqjn'mil
teo in the Third Congressional dis
trict, and is, of course, one of the
trusted leaders and %dvf*prs in ' the
revolutionary movement. His an
swer to the question is given in the
-following paragraph, taken from his
paper:
“Wo udviee tho rich thi*
country to read-the hiatofjr* of* tbe
revolution in Fruuce. lusteud of
asking loans, the' common poople
will Book tho millionaire* with rifle*.”
That ir the' Vfay in which Third
party leader Christopher answers the
quenMoli a* to how the man With'
uoibing to anil and no collateral on
which to negotiate loan* il going to
get money. That jik the temper,
that is the spirit, that'ill the- teach
ing of the new light lenders, and it i*
anarchism pure and simple. It
tnbftUß: The cothmoli people axehiu-’
tutniiiH aud strong t let them ariu
themsclve* and take what they want
It means: Blood first, then plunder
The IbhmakMti line rend the histo
ry of French Revolution, and it ful
ly understanda the purport and im
port oi the Thia'd party leader’s ad
vice to the rich men of this country.
There ia in this anarchist’s sneering
and threatening warning the defiant
suggestion that the revolution im
pending iu this country and impelled
by others no hotter than himself, is
to be a reproduction of that which
desolated l>'iaiuq-ui the closing years
of the 18tli century'. Its leadelk
were atheists, like l’ost, and its gov
ernment was organized anarchy.
The king and queen were dethroned
and beheaded. The nobleH who did
not emigrate fell under the guiliotiue.
The tumbrils bore away, one by one,
Madam ltoland and all of tbe great
leaders who dared to stand between
the infuriated masses and their un
lawful prey. Men whose industry
and thrift had enabled them to accu
mulate a sufficiency of fhis world’s
goods, to pbt themselves above the
grindings 6i poverty, were butcher
ed and their property was confisca
ted. Virtue was regarded as crimi
nal, and .the possession of the means
of a comfortable.livelihood led sure
ly, to tins guillotine.
'*• That-is the revolution to which
Chaii tuau Christopher invites the at
tention of the men of- this country
who have a sufficiency to enable
them to live above want. That is
tTie revolution after which, he more
than insinuates the new uprising of
which he ie oue of the bright and
shining lights is to be patterned.
That this is just what he means is
fully.established by the .oonoludiug
sentence of tho anarchist p aragraph
under consideration. “1 nstead of
mdcipg loans, the common people,
will seek the millionaires with ltSea.”
Hut anarchist Christopher doesn't
mean * the millionaires,” Million
aires do not make loans to people,.
They have not been in the habit of
lending money, i lhetr investments
are in stocks and bonds. They do
ndtTrust to tW lender' mercies of
uncertain securitise. Anarchist Chris
topher means the men who "have
money to .lend and whoi do lend
'
money, on proper security,-to thoae
who wunt it. Thoae are the men to.
whom be refers. They are the-men
whom the common people, in need of
loans, are going to seek, under the
new dispensation, not with satisfac-:
tory but with rifles. The
tuan of means is to be hunted down
like an escaped felon kud his money
is to be taken by force. Blood first,
plunder next—then the Third party
millennium..
. The same ideas, somewhat differ
ently expressed, weri! embodied in tbe
; V-‘ .i; ‘ ". •' ' : ■ -i • - j.-w
Upryngpe of Emissary Branch, delpr
ofi'NMuydajf lakh! ' He'
stated ihat. the people intended to'
get ■ “relief”—meaning money, of
course—and that if they can’t get it
one Way they will get it another—
that if ,they failed to get it they were
“going to raise hell and a heap of it ”
That is simply a different setting
forth of the idea im)>odied- ib the
paVftjfraph of Anarchist ChrAibpher.
And. yariopsly worded, to suit the
itching pul ins and illicit gread of
each individual demagogue, the same
suggestion, tbe same counsel of vio
lehcri and anarchism' runs like a
thread of bloody diabolism through
all tbe speeches aud writings of tbe
Third party leaders,. , r.
From all Ibis, tbe Ishmaeutu has
felt warreuted in reaching the oo'n
cldsion that tile vfcry foundations of
.this threatened revolution are laid in
anarchism: and so it urges all true
men, all lovers of peace, all friends
of just and staple .government, all
belpiyem in {bf...*fp>'dneM and iu
vioWbilify of private property, to
put lliemselvea in the line of resist
ance to it, whether it come as An-'
arehirt Chris tophw-Wriny witli rifles,'
or a* the more indefinite but not less
unpromising “hell” •of Emissary
Branch. It would seem,, if there be
tr point any. where on the hue, .be
tween instigation and criminality
where a rational Third party man
would. s ( top lyid think, that that
point hag uqw, -been .feacbedyT—Bpr

CHAIRMAN ATKINSON INTER
■& y ;'r f f VIEWED
• Hon. W. Y. Atkiusou, chairman of 'he
state demCerstio executive committee,
was Niahe city yesterday, and was sten
by a Constitution reporter in reference
to the complaints being made of iutoler
auoe among tbe democrats of tbs eeOoud
ad eleveuth districts.
“WJiatljavs you to aay about the re
ported. aotiun of tbe party in aoma of the
oouutiea in refustug to allow, those whs
believe ill tbe Ocala platform to partici
pate iu tlm democratic primaries J" he
was asked.
“I do not know that snob a thing has
been doue, except fro m shat I have seen
in the newspapers, no official attention’
having been called to it. If it baa it waa
eertaiuly a great mistake and a wrong to
tbo.-e who were denied the privilege of
participating in the democratic primaries
ou that account."
“Have you beard that inch a thing
lias beeu doue TANARUS”
“Yea, 1 have beard auoh a report.
Whether it ie true or not, Ido not know.”
) : “DJyoh' ttiiutf that any county Iras
tbe right to prescribe ua qualifications
for voters in a democratic primary any
other quabfloationa than those ~ircni>r<i
by tbe democratic state executive,'‘com
mittee of Georg ia 1”
ONE TEST FOB DBMOCEACI.
“I do uot. It is just as important and
cssenflai that the democratic party bava
oua-teit fof da ocracy for every militia
diatriot in tbs state as it is tbst tba state
abvmld bare one teat as a qualification
lor voters throughout the state. If each
county ia allowed to fifftpqlate a rule of
its own, it will be impossible to aay who
ia s-dvlnoorvt. A man might be a demo
crat in oue county natter the rules pre
scribed by tha de&oeretio'EXMiltive oom
mittee of that oouuty, when uuder the
rules of an adjoiuiug county he would
uot be allowed to participate iu its mass
meetings or primaries.' It, in any in
stauoe, a oouuty executive committee
ignores tbe test prescribed by tba state
committee, it wilt wrong tba-voters of
that oouuty and will do irreparable
wrung to thy party wituiu tba state..
Soot} oetiojt by any Wbqrmittee will be of
greater Service to those who a6k no# to
tUsrnpt the demooratie party m Georgia
than if even exeow^in
oumtmUen.wvthlßi gdcvSMjJ, the ftiiU
party ana fight for it until tbe day of
eieotiou."
"Du you tbiuk that tbs views of those
who entertain the belief that tbe Ooal*
demands are right raise a quaetion as to
whether or not they are democrats
"I do not. We. do -not expect every
member of the party to agree apon every

upon all political questions now before
