Mill [?] naire Anarchists.

The million aires of America have farmed a com spiracy to “throttle the law.”, and are i setting an example that may not be toi >t on men who have to work for a lihm tg. After mucfli trouble,’ the American people, throngJi a really unwilling congress, passed! a I uv taxing incomes over $4,000 a yean’ 2 per cent, now on tha statute bookx. It is as mur.fe a law as any other, and naire righteous *. than the laws under whose operation the millionaires accumulated their wealth. Ut would tee ga id policy, if nothing els e, for mHSionai res to show a ready and willing obedie nee to law, for when m< n begin ito dem and from law a certii crlte of ;;ood character, the title of iti*? million aire m»ay he found lacking. 'Stenator I till, the great democrat, and nator Qu:iy, the-great republican, are in open rebellion agailnst the collection of the tax a nd every democratic and repi iblican mftilionaJre la the United Si ates is doing everything he can, short

of conducting armed hostilities, against it. Millionaires, as a rule, do not themselves bear arms against a law to which they are hostile —it is only against men who go on a strike against reductions in their wages that the money lords send their armed hirelings —the state militia, the United States marshal and his deputies, and the federal army—as they did last summer. When they operate against a law, instead of usiilg Winchesters, they buy up courts and legislatures, and congress if necessary. Each after its kind —strikers are reduced to obedience by shooting bullets into their breasts, legislators and courts are brought to time by means of slipping dollars into their pockets. The millionaires are teaching the producers and wage-earners to resist by any means in their power the enforcement of laws they believe obnoxious to their interests. A law that on the assumptions, privileges or vested rights of rich is to ho “throttled,” either by bullets in the field or by bribes in the forum. The millionaires are your true anarchists, and their detestable custom of evading, resisting and trampling under foot, is having a most deleterious influence on the underpaid workingmen who have work, and the great army of workingmen without either work or pay. The millionaires are playing a mighty dangerous game in seeking to “throttle” the income tax law. —Pittsburg Kansan.
