TITOLO I La Sicilia sarà sempre Stato indipendente. Il re dei Siciliani non potrà regnare o governare su verun altro paese. Ciò avvenendo sarà decaduto ipso facto. La sola accettazione di un altro principato o governo lo farà anche incorrere ipso facto nella decadenza.The inevitable happened:
on the principle of 1893, a crash had place to Caltavuturo between the crowd and the troop. The troop dared to talk nonsense on the pacific of the same country, a great number of which remained killed. It promised Giolitti to make to open an inquiry against the soldiers who had made fire; but it di
d not maintain. To the contrary, during the entire year, it left that the police and the army abandoned to all the excesses: in the days of December, that particularly they were upset, more than 200 sicialian came victims of a murder, while the public force had single a dead man. Looking at itself a
ssassinated, the sicialian rebelled everywhere. They broke off telegraphic threads; they set afire town halls, preture, esattorie, offices of the registry and of the cadastre, agencies of the taxes, arch to you notarial, casotti customs; they freed imprisons to you; they tried to disarm police offic
ers and soldiers. To this point, the King conceived the monstrous idea to entrust to a sicialian the repression of the sicialian movement. Crispi accepted the part of Caino. Proclamò the state of I besiege; and general Morra Di Lavriano name extraordinary commissioner with full powers, than little

authorization of the Room. It makes us sicialian of the workers (that they were by now 166 with 300.000 associates to you) were melted and their occupied militarily centers. Forbidden to the crowds and the reunions. Instituted the censorship. In order more than seven months the Sicily was subordinat
e to the martial law. The arrests were made without need of tests. And the sentences came appioppate, most times, without that the accused could not defend themselves. The accusations, of all the imaginary ones. "to have cooperated to the material and moral emancipation of the workers" it was a crim
e strictly repressed! In june 1894, more than 1800 sicialian they had been already condemned to the coatto address. Many, to more serious pains. Happy De to 18 years of jail, Forest, Bearded and Boar to 12 years. To the Chamber of deputies, Happy Clevises declared that the government violato the law
s and the same Charter. Then taken the word Matteo Renato Imbriani: "You (it said turned to Crispi) you have stracciato to one to one all the pages of the Charter. You have made scempio of all our freedoms... There are many that say: - the Borboni bombed. - But they bombed when a city was in open re
bellion. But the Borboni has not never made to pull over unarmed and hungry crowds... ". The Sicily elesse Happy De deputies, Forest and Bearded, than languivano in jail. The election, is understood, came cancelled. Therefore the things continued, evil always, until the war. From 1915 to 1918 also a
nd above all in Sicily the peasants and the craftsmen, the professionals and the students came tear you from their houses and send you to the slaughter house. But when the war ended, we asked the yield for the accounts. And we would have obtained it, for God! if this wretch fascist government had no
t renewed a system of police tyranny sopprimendo the last freedoms and doubling our chains.
