However, they denounced the abyss. Beneath the apparently solidsurface, they betrayed oceans of liquid matter, only needing expansionto rend into fragments continents of hard rock. Noisily and confusedlythey proclaimed the emancipation of the Proletarian, i.e. the secret ofthe 19th century, and of the revolution of that century. That social revolution, it is true, was no novelty invented in1848. Steam, electricity, and the self-acting mule were revolutionistsof a rather more dangerous character than even citizens Barbés, Raspailand Blanqui. But, although the atmosphere in which we live, weighs uponevery one with a 20,000 lb. force, do you feel it No more than Europeansociety before 1848 felt the revolutionary atmosphere enveloping and pressingit from all sides. There is one great fact, characteristic of this our19th century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientificforces, which no epoch of the former human history had ever suspected.On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrorsrecorded of the latter times of the Roman Empire. In our days, everythingseems pregnant with its contrary: Machinery, gifted with the wonderfulpower of shortening and fructifying human labour, we behold starving andoverworking it; The newfangled sources of wealth, by some strange weirdspell, are turned into sources of want; The victories of art seem boughtby the loss of character. At the same pace that mankind masters nature,man seems to become enslaved to other men or to his own infamy. Even thepure light of science seems unable to shine but on the dark backgroundof ignorance. All our invention and progress seem to result in endowingmaterial forces with intellectual life, and in stultifying human life intoa material force.
