Let it not be understood that I have the slightest feeling against Henry of Prussia; it is the prince I have no use for. Personally, he may be a good fellow, and I am inclined to believe he is, and if he were in trouble and I had it in my power to help he would find in me a friend. The amputation of his title would relieve him of his royal affliction and elevate him to the dignity of a man.
This is a necessary part of the mission of Socialism, and the revolutionary movement is sweeping over the United States as well as Germany.
It means the end of princes, the end of paupers and the beginning of Man.
“To ears attuned, the victor’s shouts
Are crossing o’er the sea;
Resounding like Jove’s thunder peals
The working class are free.”
Revolution
