RELIGION WILL DISAPPEAR.
It's disappearance must be done by social deyel-
opment. in which education must play great
part"
The Rev: Joseph Cook, OF Boston,-you
s'We heard Of him; very badly Informed
man upon the subject OF Socialism"
:" In q lecture lately upon the subject, he
said: Karl A1arx is credited now with saving
aud perhaps in France, reform of labor will
occur without bloody revolution, but that blood
must be shed in Germany, and in Russia, and in
Italy, and In Austria n
No Socialist" remarked the Doctor, smil-
ing, t'necd predict that there will be bloody
revolution in Russia, Germany, Austria, and
possibly In Italy II the Italians keep on in the
policy they are now pursuing. The deeds of
tue French Revolution may be enacted again in
those countries. That is apparent to any po-
lltlcal student. But those revolutions will be
nude by the majority. No revolution can be
made BY party,
BUT BIZ NATION"
"The reverend gentleman alluded to,'' re-
marked, gave an extract from letter which
be said you addressed to the Communists Of
Paris 1n 1871. Here it Is: We are as yet but
3ooMo,oo0 co. at most; Ia twenty years we shall be
$4,000, 100, ,00o,o0u perhaps. Then the
world will belong to us, for it will be not only
p9r dsnss 1y9as oaous aFsee eaea which Sat will bcr s
Munich, Dresden, London, Liverpool,
Manchester, Brussels, St. Petersburg,
New YORK, in short, the whole world.
And before this new insurrectfon, such as his
tory has not yet KNOWN the past will disappear
like hidcous nightmare; for the popular con-
flagration. knded ata hundred points at once,
will destroy even its melnory?' Now, Doctor,
suppose you admit the authorship OF that ex-
tract!n
- never wrote a word OF it. never write
SUCK MELODnANATIC NONSENSE.
I am very careful what I do write. That was
put In La Figaro, over nv signature, about that
time. There were hundreds OF tue same kind
OF letters flying about them wrote to the
London Times and declared they were forgerics;
but, If l denied everything that has been said
and written Of me, would require score Of
sccretaries.''
"Bpt you have written in sympathy with the
Paris Communists!
Certainly have, in consideration OF what
was written Of them In leading articles; but the
correspondence from Paris In English papers is
quite sufficient to refute the plumbers propagat-
cd in editorials The Commune killed only
about sixty people; Marshal MacAlahon and his
saughtcring army killed over 10000. There
has never been movement SO slandered as that
Of the Commune"
"Well, then, to carry ont the principles Of
Socialism do it's believers advocate assassination
and bloodshed?"
''No great movement" }" Karl Marx ausweaed,
It has ever been fnaugurated
WITHOUT BL0ODSHED.
The independence OF America was won by
bloodshed, Napoleon captured France through
q bloody process aud he was oycrthrown BY the
same means. Italy, England. Germany, and
every other country gives proof Of this, aud US
for assassination" he went on to say, " it Is not
new thing, I need scarcely say. Orsini tried
to kill Napoleon; Kings have killed more
than anybody else; the Jesults have killed; the
Puritans killed at the time of Cromwell. These
deeds were all done or attempted before Social
fsm was known Every attempt, however, now
made upon Royal or State individual is at
trlbutea to Socialism. The Socialists would re-
grct very much the death OF the German En-
peror at the present time. He is very useful
where he is; and Bismarck has done more for
the cause than any other statesman, By driving
things to extremes"
asked DR.. Marx
WHAT HR THOUGHT OF BISMARCK.
He replied that "Napoteou was considered
genius until he fell: then he was called fool.
Bismarck will follow in his wake. He began BY
building Up despotistn under the plea Of unfit
cation. His course has been plain TO all. Tne
coup d'etat; but it will fail. The Social
lists OF Germany, as Of France, protested
against the war Of 1870 as mere
y d:nastic. They issued manifestoes
sa 6s ns ar Of @ tf6 5 BE-
turned into war Of conquest, they would be
punished by the establishment Of military dcs-
potisn and the ruthless oppression of the pro-
ductiye masses. The Social Democratic
party in Germany, thereupou holding meetings
and publishing manifestoes for an honorable
peace with France, were at once prosecuted BY
the Prussian Government, and many Of the
leaders imprisoned. Still their Deputies alone
dared to protest, and very vigorously too, in
the German Reichstag, against the forcible au-
neXation of French provinces. However, Bis
marck carried his policy BY force, and people
SPOKE Of the genius, OF q Bismarck The war
was fought, and, when he could make no more
conqucsts, he was called upon for original
ideas, and he has signally failed. The people
began to lose faith in him. His popularity was
on the waue. lie needs money, and the State
needs it. Under sham Constitution he has
taxed the people for his military aud uni6ca-
tion plans until he can tax them no louger, aud
now he seeks to do it with no Constitution at
all. For the purpose OF levying as be chooses,
he has raised the ghost Of Socialism, and has
done everything in his power
TO CREATE AN EMEUTE.'
"You have continual advices from Bcrlin?''
s Yes" he said; ''my friends keep me we'll
advised. 1t is in 4 perfectly quiet state, and
Bismarck is disappointed. He has expelled
forty-eight prominent meu,-amon them Dep
uties Hasselman and Fritsche, and Rakow,
Bauman, and Auar, Of the Free Presse These
men kept the workmen of Berlin quiet.
Bismarck knew this He also knew that
there were 75,0o0 workmen in that
city upoli the verge Of starvation. Once those
leaders we're gone, nc was confident that the
mob would rise, and that would be the cue for
carnival Of slaughter. The screws would then
be putupou the whole German Empire; his pet
theory Of blood and iron would then have full
sway, and taxation could be 1eTied to anE ex-
tent. So far no emcute has occurred, and he
stands to-day COMPOUNDED at the situation and
the ridicule OF all statesmen" H.
