M. Blanqui returns to the charge with his plan of participation by the workman, and of consolidation of all industries in a joint-stock company for the benefit of the collective laborer. I have shown that this plan would impair public welfare without appreciably improving the condition of the laborers; and M. Blanqui himself seems to share this sentiment.
"I know that." "Blanqui is in its favor, with Michelet." "I am against it, with Barbès." From the moral aspect I passed to the practical aspect. "This said," resumed I, "let us examine your plan." This plan bristled with difficulties. I pointed them out to him. "Count on the National Guard! Why, General Lawoëstyne had not yet got command of it. Count on the Army?
Officers constantly cantered up, inquiring for news respecting the position of affairs in Paris, wishing to know, in particular, if the National Defence ministers were still prisoners of the populace, and whether there was now a Red Republic with Blanqui at its head.
Harsh, stern, serious, never laughing, receiving respect with irony, admiration with sarcasm, love with disdain, and inspiring extraordinary devotion. There was in Blanqui nothing of the people, everything of the populace. With this, a man of letters, almost erudite.
M. Blanqui, unable to explain so much prosperity and so much poverty at once, cries somewhere: "Increased production does not mean additional wealth. . . . Poverty, on the contrary, becomes the wider spread in proportion to the concentration of industries.
A month later, April 15, another outbreak was planned. The chief club leaders wished it to be headed by Ledru-Rollin and Blanqui, the latter a conspirator in Louis Philippe's time. "Well, then," said the club leaders, "since you decline to be our chief, you shall to-morrow share the fate of your colleagues."
The burdens in question fell most heavily on the provinces that had been longest colonized by the Latin race, and those are the portions of Europe which have suffered the greatest physical degradation. "Feudalism," says Blanqui, "was a concentration of scourges.
At midnight some National Guards came from the Hotel de Ville to fetch me "to preside," they said, "over the new Government." I replied that I was most emphatically opposed to this attempt to seize the power and refused to go to the Hotel de Ville. At 3 o'clock in the morning Flourens and Blanqui quitted the Hotel de Ville and Trochu entered it. The Commune of Paris is to be elected. November 1.
Blanqui, the French revolutionist, who made a tour through Servia in 1840, has given the world a curious and interesting account of the conversations which he held with Servian women on the subject of the oppression from which the nation was suffering.
On which the last translator of Smith, M. Blanqui, lets fall this gloomy comment: We have seen the natural course of things produce disastrous effects, and create anarchy in production, war for markets, and piracy in competition.
