LA POLITICA AVANZADA.

En- ell BoLEr1N de 7 de JUNO del
ano pasado, decfamos: Ell sistema de
la polftica avanzada, segun nos ense~
fa la experiencia, consiste en- atacar
q la religion que es la base de la sana
moral La fuerza represiva interior:
en- desacreditar ell principle de autori-
dad, que es ell elemento de la fuerza
represiva exterior, que reprime las
ideas disolventes y contiene las fuer-
zas revolucionarias; y en- soliviantar
las masas populares, que son ell ele-
mento de la fuerza insurreccional."
Ciertamente: 81 Sc recorre la histo-
ria de nuestros dias, 81 examinamos
las doctrinas diseminadas por la prem
sa que la representa-, Sc observara sin
gran esfuerzo, que SO pretexto polltico
Sc socavan todas las bases fundamen-
tales de la sociedad, principiando por
introducir la division y la alarma en-
los pueblos en- que Sc deja conocer su
presencia polftioa, como en- Puerto
Rico, y llevando las rebeliones y los
mas desastrosos efectos, allf donde ha
marcado va SUI Influenza social, como
sucede en- casi todas las naciones de
Europa y America. Sus disolventes
principles pueden muy bien 6gurar
sin desdoro al lado de las doctrinas de
la International q la que un folleto
publicado recientemepte lie atribuye
este origen; Ell Qteisnpo en- religion, et
sensual5smo en- moral, el racionaHsnlo
EN- Jflosotya, q el sistegpdtico ataque de
toda autoridad en- poItic0. As1 vemos
con dolor que Ell imperio de la fuerza
va sustituy yendo por todas parties al de
la razon, justo castigo del hombre
que ha divinizado a esta.
Notad porque aquf desde ell momen
to en- que Sc principiaron a abrir las
puertas 4 las libertades modernas, Sc
sintieron desde luego esos primeros
sfntomas que revelan la presencia de
la epidemia social, y la alarma y la di-
vision sentaron sus reales en- esta Is
la. Naturalmente tenian cue chocar
con aqqellos elementos de 6rden que
pudieran opoperse 4 sq paso, y we'd

culo feliz que ha salvado al pals de su
ruina, que con la ayuda de Dios, con
