cal one off altogether, Just as they have killed the
Insurgents. This IS the point al issue between
them and the Republicans.
Next 10 the Democratic Republicans are the So
cialists proper. Most prominent among them are
the Phalansterians. or we say in Americs, the
Associationists, or FOunerists. They have been
for long time engaged IN disseminating their
views here. and have for some years had daily
journal and monthly magazine devoted 10 that
purpose beside an extensive book publishing es-
ablishment. They have a large number OF WI
ters in various ways enlisted in their cause, and
tins possess the means OF acting with power upon
public opinion Up 20 the Revolution, no other
school OF Socialists have possessed these means 70

The Phalansterans did not expect the Revou

political changes were not part OF their system.
They were aiming solely az a Social Reform, thor
Oughly pacific IN its character 10 be achieved by
means Of practical experiment OF an Association
on a small scale. They asked no national over
turns, no commissions running the business aud stop
ping the industry OF people. Their SIMPLE meas
ures of Industrial Reform were not Incompatible
with a Monarchy nor indeed with any form OF Gov
eminent rot entirely despOtic. Their sympathics
were most keenly with the people, bat were not
expended on them alone. In their view all Hu
manity was plunged in one common abyss OF false
ness and Suffering and the problem was not 70 dis
cover the of clevatlng single class, but OF
securing 10 all classes the blessings of education,
independence security and happiness. Theirhnal
aim was universal reform ia the Social relations
of men which should elevate whole classes, com
munties, races, and finally the whole world INTO
higher condition OF intelligence, morality aud well
being. and this not by revolutionary but by pacIhc
and gradual means.
But when the Revolution came, these Social Re
Formers not only welcomed it but Identified them
selves with il with their whole soul. They had
never stood aloot from the people or from any part
ofthcm and now the people had accomplished
victory m the name of Humanity, and called on all
to share in the triumph. The Monarchy had turned
a deaf to both their arguments aud their warn
ings the Revolution proclaimed as It's motto those
very principles OF Social Justice which they had SO
long striven to incucate. They had sadly wit

The Instruction which had been predicted broke

cause of the people and 10 that of peace and pub
