There is not much to distinguish
between the Socialists and Intcrna-
tionalists. The Socialists insist upon
a wide difference, hut when they at
tempt to formulate it, it is found to
be a distinction without being a sepa-
ration. The same principles under
lie the aims of both.
AT a late industrial exhibition at
Paris, Louis Blanc, the Socialistic
leader, said. My friend Talandier,
has quoted from Gladstone, that 1.-The
nineteenth century is the century of
the working men," Mr.. Gladstone
was right if he meant hat the social
question had been solemnly stated in
our century for the first time, but he
deceived himself IF he implied that
workmer ahadTalready reached the
happy land Z On the contrary, it is
pre-eminently In our day that tie
workman has To- face a rival who
neither thinks, feels, nor suffers who
is never hungry, never tired, and
whose power. is such there is no
standing up against him-I mean the
mschdaic of mechanism. An English
engineer, Mr.. Fairburn, estimated
that the 8 ,e59,odo horse power OBJ
tanned by steam in England in 1865,
was equal in productive results to the
labor OF '76 5000, 900 workmen. Mr..
Gladstone should have said the nine
teenth century is the century of ma
chimes. And there would be cause
for deep thankfnlness for this if men
were united in the bonds Of associa-
ton. Then anew machine would not
be a club for crushing competitors in
the hands OF its inventor-patentee.
The incessant transformation of cir
cnlating into fixed capital would not
diminish the wage fund more and
more The happy result of the APP
plication of mechanical power to in

pire of that universal antagonism
which is the very essence of modern
societies and which too often only pro-
icts one man by running another,
machinery has been employed to make
the rule of the strong hang more
heavily on the weak. There is not a
single mechanical invention of impor-
lance which has not been subject of
anguish and a cause of distress to
thousands of fathers of families from
the moment it began to work. But
for that reason We are not to cry
anathema on machinery as such. That
would be as senseless as it would be
of little avail. The development OF
mechanical power measures the dis
lance that separates us from the in
fancy of society. 1t is at once the
necessary consequence, and the
splendid mark of progress. Slmonde
de Sismonde, that great mind that
had also a great heart, was therefore
right a thousand fold, when he said:
1.-The evil does not lie in the improve
ment of machinery but in the division
of its products. The more work we
do with i given quantity OF labor, the
more we ought to augment our CHI
joyments and our repose. If the
workman we're his own master, when
he had done in two hours what 1T
would have taken him twelve hours to
have done without the aid of machin-
ery, he would stop at the end oftwo."
As it is he drudges while strength
lasts and the value OF inan has fallen
as compared to the value Of things.
Now a-days We e nothing in pro-
duction, but the product, the produc-
er is lost sight of. Wealth adored
heretofore as the dispenser of enjoy
ment is now worshlped as the repro
Queer of itself. Economists realize
this. Says English Ricardo "Pro-
vided the real and net venue OF a
nation-its rentage and its products
be the same, what can it matter wheth-
er the nation numbers twelve millions
or temp Uncomfortable words! to
which Sismondi in the ardor OF mag
unanimous Indignation replied. "What
Wealth everything, and men moth
ing" Verify there is nothing more
left to desire, than that your King,
sitting alone in his island and turn
ing a crank, should make automltans
do all the work of the country"

HI INTERNATIONALS.
REGIcIDEs IN EUROPE, DIsTURBERS IN
AMERICA.

1t is difficult to believe that a plot
c~o-extensive with Europe exists
against its crowned heads. The lead
ers of the Internationals, aiming as
they avowedly are at communistic
government, certainly have too much
sense to entertain for a moment, the
idea that the object Of their desires
can be reached over such bloody
pathways. Nevertheless there are in
contestible proofs of widespread ten
dency to acts ofyiolence towards SOW
ereigns. Whether this is Legitimate
fruit springing solely from socialistic
argument, or whether it has its origin
In the prevalence of industrial depres-
sion, an astounding number Of as
saults have been recently made on
European rulers ~sa a j..

in the present condition of Europe to

The purposes to whichthe I~nterna-

tied to live without performing his

OF course, in the present condition
ofgovernment, they dare not attempt
to intrpduce such sweeping coniisca-
items. UThey content themselves
therefore for the time, with PROPOSE
tons to make government furnish en-
ployment for the idle in the construc-
ton Of buildings and works, to be paid
paid for by money raised on the same
plan OF funding as is now practiced
for Manufacturing armies.

Since the defeat of the English in
Afghanistan in 1889 it has been
their policy to conciliate that nation
and thus establish a strong, friendly
and Independent state rs an auxilia-
ry to aid in protecting their Western
frontier. After his accessi n the
present ruler of Afghanistaa WAS rec
Ognized by them, but strict neutrali-
ty was observed during the civil war
that. followed. THIS course was
adopted in order to prevent offence
to either side. The outposts Of Rus
sia were then distant and on that iac-
count occasioned no particular ical-
ousy. But in 1868, after the Anecr
was established in authority, money
and arms were furnished him and ne
EQUATIONS were entered into with his
consent between Russia and England
recognizing the boundaries Of his
kingdom. The events, however, that
succeeded the capture of Kniva by the
Car in 1873, resulting in the COM
plete subordinisation of that Khanate
to Russia caused the Ameer consid-
cradle alarm and led him to doubt
the sincerity o. the pledges given by
the Gar to England in reference to
Afghanistan. He therefore sent an
envoy to the Indian government to
express his apprehensions. The re-
ply OF that government which was
not then prepared to promise assis-
lance against Russia, made an unfa-
vorable impression on the Ameer.
At first he gave vent to sarcastic re-
tort, but afterwards assumed an atti-
tude ofsullen reserve. Still the In
dian government did not regard him
as hostile, but endeavored, in~effectu-
ally to re-assure him, and even en-
gage him in measures advantageous
to himself and essential to the main
tenance of their common interests.

The question most worthy of in
quiring is what progress have social
is!ic, comnunistic and International
istic ideas made in this country.
Here they Iaye demanded that
government shall furnish employment
for the idle by constructing Pablo
buildings and works, and paying for
the labor expended on them in fiat
money. They have asked also for
the formation by government OF CO.
operative agricultural and manufac-
turing associations with work limited
to short hours. They have accompa-
MED this with adjustment Of interest
and indirect taxation. Their minor
projects are compulsory and free cdu-
cation and sanitary inspection of
mines, factories and dwellings.
The late elections show that,
such ideas have not met with mucn
favor in this country. Distribution
of property is too equal here and the
means of livelihood, too abundant
and too easily acquired to make it a
hot bed for communism.
Its far different ill Europe. There
cast, wealth and place, all combine
to keep the poor down. Governments
there are not managedin the interests
of populations. What rulers are
most concerned about there is preser-
walton and extension OF authority.
Standing armies that eat up the sub
stance of the people, wars like that of
Germany against Austria and France,
Russia against Turkey, and England
against Afghanistan sacrifice life, pile
up debt, enhance interest, increase
taxes and timpoverish nations. Yet,
at present such results, dlreful as they
are, are the only known means of re-
straining kings and obtaining for in.
dustry an interval of peace.
After war, even when it is Gee
fnl, Eropean monarchs encounter
their foes. Then men work in
the dark and are none the less dan
gerous on that account. Placed un-
der the ban of the empire, the sever
est penalties are but so many stimu-
lants. What is the state of seige at
Berlin, but an acknowledgement that
Germany after all its victories snd
conaucsts, is beseiged by its own peo-
pie, and that its Internaticnals have
increased from 100000 in 1877 to
over 1000, 900 in 1878.
