During nv conversations was struck with
HIS INTIMACY WITH AMERICAN QUESTIONS
which have been uppermost during tue past
1wcnty wears. His knowledge Of them. aud The
National and State legislation, impressed upon
INT mind the fact that he must hare derived his
Information from inside sources. But, indeed,
this knowledge is not conliGcd to America,
out is spread oyer the face Of Europe
When speaking Of his hoobyy,-socialism,-
he does not indulge in those mciodra-
matte flights generally attributed to him, but
awelis upon his utopian plans for I" the emanci-,
patton Of the human racer with gravity aud
an earnestness indicating a firm conviction in
the realization OF his theories, If not in this
century, at least in the next.
Perhaps Dr.. Karl Marx is better known in
America as the author Of ''Capital," and the
least its most prominent pillar. In the inter-
ricw: which follows, you will see what he says
of this Society as it at present exists. How
ever, in the meantime, will give you few
extracts from the printed general rules OF
TIE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY,
published in ISL. By order OF the General
Council, from which yon can form m impartial
Judgment of its aims and ends: The preamble
sets forth "Tha. the emancipation Of the work
Ing classes must be conquered by the work.
Ing classes themselves, that the struggle for
the emancipation OF tic working classes means
not struggle for class privileges and monopo-
lies, but for equal rights and duties, and the
abolition Of ali class rule; that the ecumenical
kuo]ecton Of the man o4 labor to the
monopolzer OF the means Of labor
fo'tora faat IS l. the sources Of life-les at the
cal misery, mental degradation, and political
dependence; that all efforts aiming ar the uni
Fersal emancipation OF the working classes have
nj, hitherto failed from want Of solidarity between
u!e manifold divisions Of labor iu each country"
ana tne preamble calls Tor "the immediate COM
blnaflon Of the still disconnected movements"
u goes on to say that the International Aseo-
c'a11on acknowledge !. no rights without duties,
no duties without r1ghts,':-thus making
