Anarchism: A Criticism and History of the Anarchist Theory
Zenker, E. V. (Ernst Viktor)
Anarchism
The average man does not much mind his rich fellow-man riding in his
carriage while he himself cannot even pay his tram fare; but that he
should be abandoned by society to every chance official of justice, as
a prey that has no rights, while justice often falters anxiously
before those who are shielded by coats of arms and titles,--that makes
his blood boil, and causes him to seek the origin of this injustice in
the institution itself instead of in the way it works. How many
Anarchists have become so merely because they were treated as common
criminals when they happened to have the misfortune to be suspected of
Anarchism? How many became Anarchists because they were outlawed by
society on account of free and liberal views?
Anarchism may be defined etiologically as disbelief in the suitability
of constituted society. With such views there would be only one way in
which we could cut the ground from under the Anarchists' feet. Society
must anxiously watch that no one should have reason to doubt its
intention of letting justice have free sway, but must raise up the
despairing, and by all means in its power lead them back to their lost
faith in society. A movement like Anarchism cannot be conquered by
force and injustice, but only by justice and freedom.
THE END.
SOUND MONEY.

PH.D., Professor of Political Economy in Harvard University; author of
"The Tariff History of the United States." (No. 74 in the Questions of
the Day Series.) Second Edition. Revised and enlarged. 8vo, cloth $.75
"Professor Taussig is already-well known by his admirable
'History of the United States Tariff'; and at a time when
currency problems are attracting attention in Europe, Asia,
and America, the appearance of a treatise from his pen on the
history of silver in the United States during the last decade
is peculiarly opportune."--_London Times._
"We do not hesitate to say that this book is in all respects
as excellent as it is opportune. It is extremely concise in
statement, and deserves to be read by the learned as well as
by the ignorant, while the times should insure it the widest
circulation."--_New York Evening Post._

of the Day Series, No. 70.) New and revised edition, with statistics

"The author has incorporated much valuable historical
information in the essay on silver and a subsequent reply to
his critics, and all who wish to study the subject will do

highly rewarding to the reader."--_Commercial Advertiser._
