Tlie Departure of the Moral Aid

The Commune a Power i
a Mob.
At lost the reign of the Commune ie
over, and one of the otrangeet forms of fi
government the world hag ever
disappeared amid bloodshed, fire nod
general ruin. For two months the Com
mune has been magter of Parig,
wielded its reoouroee, controlled its in
habitants and made it defy the refit of
France. A concurrence of oiroamotaneee
without parallel placed this power in ita
hands. The Emperor chose to mfike war
while utterly unprepared. Hifi precipi
tation led to the disaster of Sedan, then
Sedan led to the revolution of September,
and the intallation of a republican gov
ernment led to the arming of all the dan*
geroun classes of Parig. When peace
came there wag no French government
able to think and act for Franoe. M
Jules Fuvre. a weak-minded and emotion
al republican, could not think of disarm
ing other republicans, or of allowing the
Germans to disarm them. Subsequently
he asked pardon of God and man tot not
having accepted Prince Biamarok’s sug
gestion that the terms of capitulation
should include
THE DISARMING OF THN NATIONAL GUAND.
His pardon may be easily granted, for
it ueeils much lew than omuiflcieuoe to
know that a gushing rhetorician raised
to precurioiiH power for a moment is not
the man to appreciate political dangers.
When it was too late the government of
which he was a member decided to de
prive the National Guard of its artillery.
The attempt was made in the true mod
ern French fashion. Nothing wag
t ought of, no preparations were mfide.
The government troops easily captured
the artillery, but no one had reoollected
that urtillcry cannot move itself. So the
troops had to sit where they were until
horses should come. Meanwhile the
people began to talk to the troops, and
it suddenly struck thene warriors that
there wus no reason why they uhonid
slay ore mun more than another. French
society had been decomposed into thoee
loose and conflicting elements which it
is the one business of society to make
iuto a whole. No one could see why one
man or one cause or one set of theorists
should be preferred to another. A few
resolute men hhw their opportunity and
seized on the government of Paris.
What was called the government instant
ly effaced itself. It made no appeal, it

left Paris to take care of itself. The day
of the insurrection had been stained by
the murder of two generals in oold
blood, and a few days subsequently, ei

those who wished to bring matters to a

would win, while the members of every
party fieerotly chuckled over the glori
ous license of partisan vengeauce in
which they proposed to revel if their
party happened to be successful. The
balance was tolerably equal so long a*-
civilian France was left to iteelf, but
gradually the prisoners from Germany
came up aud the army decided the con
test This shows a state of things even
more dangerous to France than if Franoe
had really been for two months under
the rule of a mob. Paris, until the in-
oendiarinm began, sullbred much less
than it would nave suffered from mob
rule, bat it suffered lees because the mis
chief of distinct fanatical parties has
eaten into tlm heart of France aud each
triamphant party strives to act not as a
mob, Dnt as a government What is the
exact creed of the red republicans and
what are the principles and opinions they
so tenaciously defend, it might be hard
to state positively. Thev are in some de
gree socialists, although socialism does
not appear to influenoe them so power-
folly as might be expected from the lan-
of thofito who always call them ao-
i, because this is the strongest term
of abuse at hand. They are filled with a
deep hatred and envy of all the persons
who have the advantages which wealth,
education and station confer. They de
teat, above all things,
WRONG CENTRALIZED MILITARY POWERS.
This ie the link that binds together in
their ranks the adventurers driven from
Poland, from Germany and from Italy.
They hate aud despise the priests, whom
they look on as the tools and slaves of
theae military powers, and they revolt
from the religion which they regard these
priests as teaching in the interest of des
potisms. Iu their fanaticism they are
capable of all the acts in which fanatics
rejoice. They have burned Hhe noblest
buildings of Paris, not only to gratify a
momentary thirst for vengeance, but to
show their horror of all the things on
which their enemies—the kings, and
priests, aud soldiers, and courtiers—de
light. The destruction of the Tuileries,
of tho Sainte Chapeile and the Hotel de
Vide, stand on very much the same foot
ing as the destruction of the abbeys und
cathedrals of Boot laud by the follow-rs
of John Knox; and it only seems differ
ent to ns at first because we are accus
tomed to the fierceness and vandalism of
religious sects, bnt we are not familiar
with the notion of an equal fervor of po
litical hatred.
Fiance is now transported with just iu-
dignatian at the burning of Paris, and
foreigners oan find no words too stroug
to condemn the atrocities with which the
Commune has closed its career. If men
ohoose to fill their hearts with unreason
ing hatreds, and in their blind fury to
spare nothing by which their neighbors
set store, it ia not because they are fanat
ics that a word is to be whispered in their
defence. The Commune has been stamp
ed with the infamy of this odious inoen-
dariarism, just as the first repnblio was
stamped with the infamy of the Septem
ber massacres and the murder of Marie
Antoinette. But if we look at the future
politics of France we are bound to con
fess that the punishment which will fol
low on this dreadful act will not be in all
probability the ending of the present
troubles of the country. If this pnnish-
uiont is iuflioted in the spirit which free
ly fiuds expression at Versailles, if the

The citizens were cowed, and the Na

appeared that the ruling body oonsist4*l

Wages.
What is labor worth ? What are hon
est wages for faithful work ? What is
the role by which the value of labor, in
its infinite varietien, in to be estimated ?
Who is to raise the plumb line aud the
just guide and standard between those
who buy and those who sell lat>or V—
These are questions which disturb civil
ized society continually. Government!
are shaken to their very walls aud deep
est foundations by them. Their true
answer involves the rights of labor and
the rights of capital. To come to a
reel solution requires a knowledge of
whole theory of true political econon
To enforce such solutiou when put
practical shape iuvolves the whole
Mice of legislation and government,
is the leading questiou, and we may wel!
«ay the only dangerous questiou which
agitates modern States. As civilization
progresses, as wuuU are refined aud mil
tilized, as labor is more and more divi
ded, and as the employment of capital
tends more and more to its own advan
tage, so does the oueAtion of due relation
between labor ami capital, between woik
man and employer, become oontiunallv
more aud more complicated and vexing,
Sometimes pubdc sympathy side* with
those who sell tln-ir daily laUir for scant
daily wages, seei-ig that those who buy
cheap labor grow rich upon the profits;
sometimes, but much more seldom, the
public, seeing combinations and strikes
which seem unjust and damaging to tho
interests of employers iu* well as injurious
to society and ( Aforced idleness, lend
their sympathieh to tbo*e who seem wil
ling to pay fair prices for good work reg
ularly performed. When these labor
strikes, combinations and revolts degene
rate into lioenn ■, dissipation, violence
aud unwarrantable dictation, Uie popular
sentiment becomes aimo.it general against
the strikers and in favor of the employ-
8.
A large part of all this debate and dif
ficulty would be removed by a few plain
and obvious oon.dder.itiims:
1. Capitol is free. The owner or rep
resentative of money m»y keep it idle
aud suffer the loss of increase, or he may
employ it by leudiug or investing it iu
manufacturing enterprise, or in any one
of the numberless shapes iu which capi
tal can be put so that it m tv yisftd a due
return. Whether iu the form of money
or of property, capital is accumulated
lulior or tho representative of the values
created by labor at wiu- former time.
The mechanic who by his thrift saves
a thousand dollas, may, at his option, pay
it in wages to other mechanics, or he may
loan it for sixty, eighty ora hundred dol
lars of annual wage* or interest, or he
may put into a house that will pay him a

2. Capital is not only free, but its rela

laws would merely drive it out of sight
and out of use just so soon as the at
tempt should be m ule to proscribe the
use to which it should l>e applied
and the income to which it should be
limited.

English mobs should bo summarily put
down with as much force an may be ne

ity between
Till. COMMUNE AND AN ENGLISH MOB,
excepting so far as that in each oase it is
the lowest dawk's of society threatening
the higher. An English mob is a tumuh
tary gathering of useleNH, obnoxious peo
ple, with no definite purpose and no
notion of fighting, whose principal, if
not ouly, object is too sec bow mnch the
Bobbies under the direetion of a tearful
Secretary of State can be got to staud.
The police persuade them to go away,
their leader is made a county oourt judge
and the mutter is at an end. The reasou
why such m«»hs should be at onoe put
down is that the persons composing them
are perilously demoralized by having
their respect for the law diminished, and
that they subject large numbers of quiet,
orderly jH'rsons to inconvenience and
danger. Who can think that such a de
scription can be applied to the character
and doings of the Commune daring the
last two months ? The Commune had
distinct arms, a distinct organization, sud
has fought with oourage and resolution.
It had a cause and a power of its own.
It formed a body of enemies to those who
differed from it. It had a creed in which
it believed, which it was prepared to pro
mulgate and to defend at every risk. It
was forced into prominence by the extra
ordinary accident of ha>iug a fortified
city an<l an unlimited supply of warlike
stores delivered into its hands at a mo

However much they have nominally dis
approved of the Reign of Terror, a large
class of the ItUeraUur* ot Franoe have al
ways shown a sort of pride iu the exces
ses of Jaoobiniam. They like to think
that Frenchmen dare to do aud dream of
doing things which it would not enter
iuto the hearts of other men to conoeive.
The burning of Paris is but the end of a
senoatian novel on the largest possible
-calc, and the countrymen of Eugene
Sue aud Dumas will relish tbe thought of
a catastrophe so dialmlicaliy grand. A
French journal published in the interests
of imperialism a few days ago indulged
in a series of sneers at the Commune, aw
a mere pigmy by the side of tho Revolu
tion of 1793. It did nothing strong, ter
rible, and worthy to he called revolution
ary. It had not the orqiwU du mol as the
journalists expressed it—it had no proper
pride in being tranacendantly wicked.—
The Commune will be no longer sneered
at as a pigtty. It has graven its terrible
history on Paris far more effectually than
if it bad sent some hundred priests and
aristocrats to the guillotine, aud the
Frenchmen who ask for signs of the or-
yurtl du wutl before they oan worship and
admire anything will admit that in this
respeot the detested Commune has shown
itself worthy of its country.

6. Labor for fuir and living wages is
not a hardship calling for sympathy.—
The actual suff erers ure those who caunot
find their fit work, or finding it, cannot
get paid for it according to its full value.
The profits on large enterprises which
enoourage the employment of extensive
capital aud which give scope to tin' lu st
of administrative toieut, arc not with
drawn from the just rewar Is of tlie labor
of operatives, but rather represent the
enhanced value of labor resulting from
its wise and methodical employment. A
thousand operatives, employed underouc
roof, with all the ndvautug.* of the most
improved machinery, can produce au ag
