HERE MOST'S INCENDIARY ADDRESS.

On Saturday we published a cablegram stating that the well-known Herr Most had been sentenced to imprisonment for tin incendiary speech in connection with the recent riots in America. Th? report of the meeting at which the speech was made states :—Herr Most's speech was one long yell to the American people to arm in their own defenoe. Seizing the rifle that had been placed on the platform, he brought it to his shoulder, and cooked it with a menacing mien. "This," he said, "is the protection of the workingm&n. Let the people arm before it is too late, and before their oppressors have made it impossible for them to get arms. I can furnish you with 10,000 fine breech-loaders with bayonets, at 1 Odol. apiece. You waste your money buying gold watches and jewellery. Better buy muskets, revolvers, and cartridges. When you have enough shooting irons then rise and take what belongs to us. Carry clubs, also. V 7 a have not got artillery aa yet, but we will have it in time. The Constitution gives us the right to have cannon also. As for bombs, you need not wait until you have the foundries to make them. You can make bombs out of glass tubes and iron pipe, which you can load with dynamite or gunpowder. Fasten on tho caps at both ends, and when you see any of the rascals throw them under their feet and kill them. Let your women use bombs also, and learn how to use petroleum. Petroleum is cheap and barns well. Petroleum bombs can be thrown twenty feet. Then, when we are all armed, we can rise at a given moment and take possession of all the armouries and arsenals in the city. In one year 10,000 men could be armed. Then we would seize the capitalists by the throat - . We will take all the meat, wine, vegetables, and champagne for ourselves. We will not help out any foolish trades union strikers. We will make war upon all capitalists ami State and Church, for they are all our enemies." Herr Moat grew indignant under the recital of the shooting of the men at East St. Louis. He then spoke of the riot at the Williamsburgh sugar refinery as another illustration of the doings of capitalist robbers. He only wished the rioters had been armed to defend themselves. Then he got to abusing the police, and asked, " Why are they here?" Somebody shouted, " Put them out." In an instant the meeting was in an uproar. Tho police put out the man who cricd "Put them out," and the meeting broke up in confusion.
