The jurists are right, then, in applying to proprietors this passage from the Scriptures,--_Ego dixi: Dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes_,--"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High." PROPERTY IS THE RIGHT OF INCREASE.

To us this axiom shall be like the name of the beast in the Apocalypse,--a name in which is hidden the complete explanation of the whole mystery of this beast.

It was known that he who should solve the mystery of this name would obtain a knowledge of the whole prophecy, and would succeed in mastering the beast.

Well! by the most careful interpretation of our axiom we shall kill the sphinx of property.
Starting from this eminently characteristic fact--the RIGHT OF INCREASE--we shall pursue the old serpent through his coils; we shall count the murderous entwinings of this frightful taenia, whose head, with its thousand suckers, is always hidden from the sword of its most violent enemies, though abandoning to them immense fragments of its body.

It requires something more than courage to subdue this monster.
It was written that it should not die until a proletaire, armed with a magic wand, had fought with it.
