densed fosm, the following: 1t is useless for
the WORKING people of our nation to attempt
to remodel s6cieiy; there must be q cOmbina-
ton Of all the nations, and meantime attempts
Z forcible revolution ought to be discoIr-
'dEed. The new society ought to be founded
on universal education. Every individual
ought. b be developed, by all educational
means at the disposal OF science and art, into
a truly humane being. All the enormous
sums now squandered on churches and SOL
diers ought to be invested in raising higher
ype of humanity. A society thus prepared
lbr it's great task will best know how to legis-
late for a new order of things. One thing,
however, is clear, to wit: that such future
legislation will have to accommodate itself to
the economical laws of the age. twill have
10 render production scientific, and TO estab-
iish il on the largest possible scale. All new
inventions and discoveries, instead Of re-
bounding, as now, to the benefit Of the few
and to the enslaving Of many, must be con-
vertcd into means OF reducing the tolls Of all,
of identifying life, and enrolling humanity.
All the great indispensable means Of exist
ence, as lands, mines, machines, and means
of communication, must y the common prop
erty Of all, and must be made 50 gradually.
Nothing can reasonably be private property,
but the product Of labor, ones oun labor.
THE LEADING SPIRITS OF THE MOVEMENT.
1t is remarkable that numbers Of apostles
of the new persuasion are men without schol-
arly attainments, but with clear logical
minds, armed with an array of statistical
and historical facts, and simple but genuine
eloquence; selfmade men, who would reflect
credit on any society of scholars. There is one
among them, a tailor, Eecarius, in London,
who has published book entitled, 'Refuta-
ton Of the economical Doctrines Of John
Smart Mill;' another, a tanner, Diezsen,
| of Elberfeld, who has written a critique of
all metaphysical systems; another, a turner,
! BeteL, Of Leipsic, who is one of the best
infornsed and most eloquent members Of the
NORTH German Parliament, and quite a
number Of editors Of newspapers in the Eng
glish, French, and German, Spanish, italian,
Flemish, Dutch, Magyar, Czechian, and
Russian languages, who began life as me-
ichanics, and now WELD powerful pens. u
the numerous papers in the interest of the
International Association may mention in
French: I'Egalite GENEVA; LIE MTabeau
fkege); L'Intepationale and Les Gathers du
IMml iBelgium); among the Flemish, ID,
WerE,r (Ghent); among the Spanish, La
Slidoridad (Barcclona); among the German,
Volkssaat (Leipsic); Voiksriilc (Nienna)
TayraeM Zurich; Vorbcte Geneva: There
are also two German dailies, Zukuntf Berlin
published by that stern Republican, job
Joel Jacoby, of Konigsberg, Prussia, and the
Ar6eiter Union, of New York, which, how
ever, has lately been temporarily suspended
The preachings and teachings ofthese meI
and organs have been very successful, consid
ering that the obstacles in their way are ~
numerous and strong. They discourage al
needless strikes, and all riots and turbulen
demonstrations, and they try to mitigate thu
evils in the wake of all such disorders b!
brotherly advice end mutual assistance.
