The American Anti=Socialist
An organ of Jeffersonian Democracy - 1912-1914, No. 1-6.

By John Basil Barnhill, Editor and Publisher.

The inevitable effect of Socialism would be to sacrifice liberty on the altar of a procrustean conception of equality.
In the interest, therefore, a political freedom which it violates and derides; in the interest of commercial freedom which it openly seeks to destroy; in the interest of Art and Genius which it would sterilize; in the interest of the Democratic principles which it contravenes; in the interest of the home which it threatens, Socialism must be destroyed.
