THE SOCIALISM OF TO-DAY. 156 abundant, gave in. This victory obtained for the association a large number of adhesions throughout France. In England other measures brought in recruits. In certain trades, the employers, threatened by strikes, brought workmen over from Belgium and Germany. The International immediately set to work. It succeeded in arresting the departure of further detachments of workmen, and as to those already employed, it induced them to return to their own country on having their expenses paid and getting something over for themselves. A whole batch of Germans, warned at the moment of landing, returned home on the first opportunity. The trades’ unions, which hitherto had confined their operations exclusively to England, now understood the object of the International, and a certain number of them joined it. Recruiting recommenced in Germany, where it had been arrested in the preceding year by the war between Austria and Prussia, and was carried on to a considerable extent in Switzerland, especially in the French cantons. Several Socialist newspapers, too, placed their services at the disposal of the International.* The second congress held its sittings at Lausanne, from the 2nd to the 8th September, 1867. Radical ideas began to find utterance, though as yet they did not prevail. Neither the abolition of hereditary succession nor the adoption of collective property was voted, but only the taking up by the State of the railways, “ in order to destroy the monopoly of the great companies, which, by subjecting the working class to their arbitrary rules, attack at once both the dignity of man and the liberty of the individual.” Except for this curious clause, which looks as if it had been drawn up by a dismissed engineer, there is nothing very revolutionary in this motion. Indeed, Governments vie with each other in putting it into practice. I'he congress did not even approve of gratuitous education. * Among these were : in France, La Fourmi, PAssociation, Lc Congrès ouvrier, La Mutualité ; in Germany, the Sozi al-Demokrat and the Deutsche Arbeiter-Zeitung of Berlin, the Nordstern of Hamburg, the Correspondent of Leipzig ; in London, the Workman's Advocate, edited by Eccarius, and the International Courier, written both in English and in French ; in Belgium, La Tribune du peuple. The International also found organs in Italy, Spain and America.
