and happiness, with which it fired the
enthusiasm Of the Contidng masses, and
its steady, vigorous policy of class legis-
latlon tor the exclusive benefit of the
hourge0tsio and the perpetuation of the

that the advent of capitalism was neCes-

best calculated TO promote the growth of
indiytduallsm must at the same time in

You say that as there is no disorder at
the surface the Revolution is far from

disorder is not in the facts, but it has
