he Federation.

That day France was united: animated by the new spirit, she had a vision
of the future in the working in common of the soil.

And it will again be by the working in common of the soil that the
enfranchised societies will find their unity and will obliterate the
hatred and oppression which has hitherto divided them.

Henceforth, able to conceive solidarity--that immense power which
increases man's energy and creative forces a hundredfold--the new
society will march to the conquest of the future with all the vigour of
youth.

Ceasing to produce for unknown buyers, and looking in its midst for
needs and tastes to be satisfied, society will liberally assure the life
and ease of each of its members, as well as that moral satisfaction
which work give when freely chosen and freely accomplished, and the joy
of living without encroaching on the life of others.

Inspired by a new daring--born of the feeling of solidarity--all will
march together to the conquest of the high joys of knowledge and
artistic creation.

A society thus inspired will fear neither dissensions within nor enemies
without. To the coalitions of the past it will oppose a new harmony, the
initiative of each and all, the daring which springs from the awakening
of a people's genius.

Before such an irresistible force "conspiring kings" will be powerless.
Nothing will remain for them but to bow before it, and to harness
themselves to the chariot of humanity, rolling towards new horizons
opened up by the Social Revolution.
