Origin and Tendencies of the Paris Commune"
Ia the EiF:! place he said, the word com,

'towa.' being a translation q the Latin word
''civitas.' The origin Of III, Pari; Commune
va: the desire Of the town people 10 regain their
municipal liberties Under the government CT
| Nspcl aon Baron HauSmann was q. the head the
city government, and with bis brother counsel
o7s acted in a manner decidedly "Tweedsh."
| They beautifad the city and built up half OF
| Paris, but hey all went into Office poor and
came out rich. Af.e7 the fall Of Metz the rs
! tonsl government had charge Of the city &
| Paris. The people ware exhausted by tho war,
while trade was peralyzad, and the government
| III IN decreed the postponement Of sll CONNER
cisl bills for six months. Generals who were
IA a!ed by tho people were put IN command OF
| the troops, and newspapers were suppressed. At
the end Of six months, on the 10Th OF March,
1871, the government did not further extend the
time for commercial payments, and m one day
lJ0,0rJ bills were protested in Paris. All the
snsll dealers were forced into want by tho sud.
den pressure and became discontinued. The
question Of artillery listened the Commune.
The people ct Paris bad subscribed for snd man.

government resolved to take this cannon for
tn cir own protection. =
The people of Paris would not ail)w this, and
10 resisting the attempt thsy not only defended
right and justice but law and stlic legality. In
~ neute which followed General lie Compto
VAS killed bat this can not be blamed on III =
Commune. as the Commune did not then exist
On tic 18Th OF Msrch all the administrative par
lies left Paris to the protection OF its National
Quad. They appointed seven of their nun Der to
set IS central committee. This committee or
d 2red general election on the 26:h Of March
for municipal government and then the Com
mune MAS established, -.-.-... .-.......-..
Many Of the members Of the Commune were
socialists ;.ths lecturer himself WAS one, bu. tho
commune and socialism were not Identical. 1t
was i'm possible, however, to abst.ia from show
ing socis list tendencies in the Few government
Thus, when tia bakers Of lhs city wished TO do
away with night work the Commune gave them
permission. TIE only purely social decree Ct

to examine sill questions relstive to the differences
between capital and labor. The first socialists
thought that the few had too much and the
many too little. Their frst idea wssin favor Of

thst WAS practically impossible and destroyed
the freedom of the individual The next class
of socialists took this individual freedom as the
basis of their system. The socialists of the pres.
