In the history of the political struggles of 1848 the names are written of Proudhon, of Victor Considerant the disciple of Fourier, of Pierre Leroux the humanitarian communist, and his devoted pupil George Sand. The chief title of Leroux to be remembered is just his influence over the soul of the great novelist. Her later romances are pervaded by ideas derived from his teaching.
The highest on each list, to the number allotted, would be elected. It will be seen that this is really a system of double election; for the order of favour of the candidates of any party would have to be decided before the nominations were made. Only two years afterwards M. Victor Considerant published a similar scheme at Geneva, Switzerland.
Because the society which creates is itself indivisible, a permanent unit, incapable of reduction to fractions. And it is this unity of society which makes the land common property, and which, as M. Considerant says, renders its use imprescriptible in the case of every individual.
«Quand nous nous sommes trouvé sur ces points élevés, nous avons toujours considéré le total des montagnes prises ensemble, leurs situations respectives, les unes par rapport aux autres; afin de reconnoître, s'il y avoit quelque chose de constant dans leurs position; rien n'est plus varié. Dans la grande chaîne de montagnes qui sépare le canton de Berne du Vallais d'un côté, et les Alpes qui séparent le Vallais de la Savoie de l'autre, en considérant le course du Rhône sous differens points de vue, on n'a point vu que les angles saillans de ces très hautes montagnes fussent opposés aux angles rentrans des montagnes qui sont vis-
These gentlemen want direct refutations, in order that, if they are beaten, they may have, at least, the selfish consolation of having been spoken of. Well, let their wish be gratified. M. Considerant makes the most lofty pretensions to logic. His method of procedure is always that of MAJOR, MINOR, AND CONCLUSION. He would willingly write upon his hat, "Argumentator in barbara."
But are we not assured, by M. Considerant, that liberty leads fatally to monopoly? Are we not told that liberty is competition? and that competition, according to M. Louis Blanc, is a system of extermination for the people, and of ruination for trade?
Another, like M. Considerant, will take up the cause of the working classes, and claim for them by means of the law, at a fixed rate, clothing, lodging, food, and everything necessary for the support of life.
To which M. Considerant adds, by way of comment: "Indeed, the land not having been created by man, it follows from the fundamental principle of property, that the land, being given to the race in common, can in no wise be the exclusive and legitimate property of such and such individuals, who were not the creators of this value."
On the occasion of a severe famine in Burgundy, she collected a band of her mendicant friends in a stable, and burned them all, saying that 'par pitié elle hauoit faict cela, considerant les peines que ces pauvres debuoient endurer en temps de si grande et tant estrange famine.
Certes ie me suis trouue quelquesfois si las, que le corps n'en pouuoit plus. Mais d'ailleurs mon ame ressentoit de tres-grands contentemens, considerant que ie souffrois pour Dieu: nul ne le scait, s'il ne l'experimente. Tous n'en ont pas este quittes a si bon marche." Brebeuf, Relation des Hurons, 1635, 26.
