them their cause Is 19 anarchism ch I 1 a m the next ihirg he was questioned upon had reference to the number 0 of his hig co believers in the united stipes stales ye we have no organization he replied and there Is therefore no moans means of now flow many anarchists there an aig here in the w way a y a cel desus 1 inight reveal it those w who lie abc acc accept ept this definition I 1 have given you are known among paton g us as plumb liners linera but there are or of course numbers v ho hold bold somewhat modified views but there are aie thousands and tens of thousands in this country whose thought Is 11 largely guided by the anarchist tendency is opposed to the state slate socialism tendency we anarchists have no regular society in america there are no groups it is a mistake and a w widely idely preva prevailing lUnig one to suppose that the group Is the unit of anarchy tho the groups that do exist and they are very lery tow few and insignificant are communist groups the communists communist are dking diang out all over the their type Is johann most who is not now an anarchist and Is no longer recognized as one of 0 us you otten often hear too of anarchist communism which Is a contradiction in turns the delicate subject ot of bomb throw ing said and assassination was brought up the assassination of 0 carnot carnol was not an anarchist deed said sir air tucker wo we anarchists do not believe in propaganda by deed but our objection to it Is not an objection founded on I 1 2 lak 1 lk 1 1 I 1 i 0 aj J I I 1 I 1 I 1 ra ipa 1 11 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 qa egl 1 I 1 ly 41 e I

it to be an impracticable method of permanently abolishing government and the state the reason being that h t such ch abolition b depending den ding upon a r revolution au aln 1 in ideas cannot be effected by a revolution by force but only by education and passive resistance the anarchist doctrine ot of passive resistance si ol stance has come into prominence lately and the leader of 0 anarchy was asked to explain it there are aie numerous forms of passive r resistance said he tor for instance the anarchists are very much opposed to the legislation that restricts and regulates banking now if the anarchists were to associate for or the purpose ot of carrying on the bauk ban ing business bu sineas in violation Mo lation of eis biting laws lawa end and were to to do so lit hi spits of fines and imprisonments they would in that particular be carrying on a propaganda of passive resistance tile the refusal to pay taxes Is another form of passive resE tance I 1 do not know that at present any of organized passive resistance IS 3 being carried on by anarchists la in this country enarchy archy he to said eald in conclusion Is lip spreading reading wonderfully in all the cities c
