Excerpt from Patriotic Eloquence Relating to the Spanish-American War and Its Issues

Appeal to the reason and the conscience of men. But suppose there is no response? Then submit to their wrong doing. Therefore the philosophical anarchist will not allow the punishment of a child by the parent, he will not allow the punishment of a pupil by the teacher, he will not allow the maintenance of a prison or jail for the punishment of a law-breaker by the country, he will not allow a policeman in the city, except to show ladies across muddy streets, and he will not allow an army to defend a nation attacked, or to emancipate another nation from despotism. This is a consistent philosophy. I respect it intellectually; I dissent from it both intellectually and morally.
