BAKUNIN THE APOSTLE OF NIHILISM. 221 no longer in peace. The two leading papers, Gleichheit and Volkswille, after having been frequently seized and suspended, at last ceased to appear. In Hungary, where there is greater liberty, a propagandist committee was formed, and a newspaper, the Allgemeine Arbeiter Zeitung, was published in German and in Magyar. In June, 1871, a great demonstration was held in honour of the Commune. The workmen, leaving work, marched through the streets of Pesth bearing crape and black flags. Prosecutions for high treason followed, and the ringleader, Sigmund Polliker, was condemned to six months’ imprisonment. Nevertheless, Socialistic propaganda penetrated into all the towns of the empire, and, what is very unusual, at one time it seemed to make head even in the rural districts. Socialist societies of peasants were formed in the villages of Carinthia under the name of Freie Bauernvereine; they had an organ, der Bauernwille, edited by Karl Achar, a farmer’s son ; but the animosities and reciprocal accusations of the two principal leaders, Oberwinder and Scheu, checked their progress. The ideas spread by the International have still a considerable number of partisans among the working men of the different provinces of Austria-Hungary, but their attitude has latterly become less revolutionary. The conflict of races, always so fierce, effects a diversion. What is called the labour movement is very active in Italy When I visited the country in 1879 I found in the towns a great number of working men’s societies : people’s banks under the direction of the well-known Deputy Luzzatti the “ Italian Schulze-Delitzsch ; ” aid societies, often under the patronage of a great name, such as Pepoli at Bologna, and Teano at Rome; co-operative societies; societies for the study of social subjects; trades unions, to say nothing of repub lican circles, secret societies, and the famous Circoli Barsanti.* asserted that he had nothing to do with it, seeing that he was absent from the barracks; and in order to rehabilitate his memory, the revolutionists created associations bearing his name—CWf Barsanti. Their aim was to attract soldiers and non-commissioned officers, in order to enrol them in tneir party.
