Pe ae February, 1848—The program pre- nored for the Communist League by Marx and Engels, published as the “Manifesto of the Communist Party,” popularly known as the “Communi Manifesto.” Lenin wrote about this work of Marx and Engels: “With the clarity and brilliance of genius, thi: work outlines a new cong2ption of the world; it represents consistent materialism extended also to the realism of social life; it proclaims dialectics as the most comprehensive and profound doctrine of develop- ment; it advances the theory of the class struggle and the world historic revolutionary role of the proletariat as the creator of a new Communist Society.’ ote ae February, 1848—Banished from Brussels, goes to Paris after the be- ginning of the revolution.

Engels often helped him with these articles, while he was busy with his studies. Thus the Series of articles written by Engels and published later under the title Revolution and Counter-Revo- tution in Germany in 1848 (available in English) were erroneously ascribed to Marx.

Not all of Marx’ writings were pub- 1 d after Engels’ death in 1895. Franz Mehring published the writ- ngs of Marx and Engels between 1@41-1850 in three volumes, including articles of Marx and Engels in the “Rheini- sche Zeitung”, “Franco-German Year s”, “Neue Rheinische Zeitung”, Neue Rheinische Revue”, also the Holy Family, etc. (Nachlass, aveilable in German).

Bebel and Bern- in, the literary executors of Marx and Engels published in 1911 four volumes containing correspondence between Morx and Engels during 1844-1883 (Briefwechsel, etc.,, avail- able in Germen). Letters of Marx or Engels to others replete with their ions to problems arising out of daily struggles and the activities reat the of the Socialist parties have been pub- lished only in part (letters to Sorge, a@ volume available in German), to Kugelman, Bebel, Bernstein, Victor Adler, Kautsky, etc., in different peri- cdicals. Fugitive articles in early publications to which they contrib- uted have been reprinted from time to time. No scientific or complete publication of the writings of Marx and Engels was undertaken by those to whom this work was entrusted.

(Six children were born to Karl and Jenny Marx, four girls and two boys. The two boys and one girl died eavly in their childhood, their death due a great deal to the dire poverty which Marx experienced during his early years of exile in London. The three daughters who survived were, Jenny, who later married Longuet, Laura, who married Paul Lafarcue and Ele- anor who married Dr. Edward Ave-~ ling.) . e ° March 14, 1883—Undergoing severe physical torture since 1881, Marx died at the age of 65. Engels wrote that day to their mutual friend Sorge in early publication new and revised English translations from texts sup- plied by the Marx-Engels-Lenin In- stitute of the most popular writings of Marx and Engels as well as of some of their hitherto unpublished works . «8 The Communist International is the only inheritor of the revolution- ary teachings of Marx and Engels. Lenin, the founder of the C. I. and of the first Soviet State, was the tru- est interpreter and continuer of Marxism and left the working class his own great contributions in revo- ‘utionary theory, and practice—Len- inism, which as “Stalin formulated it “Marxism in the period of imperial- ism and the proletarian revolution.” Commemorating the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the death of Karl Marx during the 16th year of the te'r-»- ant existence of the Proletarian Dic- tatorship in one-sixth of the g.ove where his teachings form the basis of this existence, we can proudly ex- claim together with Enzels: “His name and his work will endure through the ages.” Engels’ Wire to Sorge On Marx’s Death er * iam WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY. _ Sees eee Eeecrea | iting him—I arrived to find the house | “Mankind is Shorter by A Head” Letter from Engels Notifying Sorge of Marx’s Death.’ London, March 15, 1883 | Dear Sorge, | Your telegram arrived this eve- ning. Many thanks. It was not pos- sible to keep you regularly informed | about Marx's state of health because | it was constantly changing. Here,| briefly, are the main facts. Shortly before his wife’s death, in October of '81, he had an attack of pleurisy, He recovered from this but} when, in February ’82, he was sent to Algiers, he came in for cold wet weather on the journey and had an- other attack when he arrived. The atrocious weather continued, and then when he got better, he was sent to Monte Carlo (Monaco) to avoid the heat of the approaching summer, He arrived there with an- other, though this time a milder, attack of pleurisy. Again abominable weather, STAYED WITH HIS DAUGHTER When he was at last better, he went to Argenteuil near Paris to stay) with his daughter, Madame Longuet. He went to the sulphur springs near- by at Enghien, in order to relieve the | bronchitis from which he had suf- fered for so long. Here again the weather was awful, but the cure did some good. Then he went to Vevey for six weeks and came back in September, having apparently almost complete- ly recovered his health. He was al- lowed to spend the winter on the south coast of England, and he him- self was to tired of wandering about with nothing to do, that another period of exile to the south of Europe would probably have harmed him in spirit as much as it would have benefitted him in health. | When the foggy season commenced in London, he was sent to the Isle of Wight. There it did nothing but) rain and he caught another cold. Schorlemmer and I were intending to pay him a.visit at the new year when news came which made it nec- essary for Tussy to join him at once. WIFE'S DEATH A HARD BLOW Then followed Jenny's death and he had another attack of bronchitis. | After all that had gone before, and} at his age, this was dangerous. A number of complications set in, the most serious being an abcess on the lung and a terribly rapid loss of strength. Despite this, however, the general course of the illness was proceeding favourably, and last Friday the chief doctor who was attending him, one of the foremost young doctors in London, specially recommended to him by Ray Lankester, gave us the most brilliant hope for his recovery. But anyone who has but once ex- amined the lung tissue under the microscope, realises how great is the danger of a blood vessel being broken if the lung is purulent. END DRAWS NEAR { ‘And so every morning for the last six weeks I had a terrible feeling of dread that I might find the curtains down when I turned the corner of the street. Yesterday afternoon at 2:30—which is the best time for vis-| | in tears. It seemed that the end was near. . I asked what had happened, tried to get to the bottom of the matter, to offer comfort. There had been on- ly a slight hemorrhage, but sudden- ly he had begun to sink rapidly. Our good old Lenchen, who had looked after him better than a moth- er cares for her child, went upstairs to him and then came down. He was half asleep, she said, I might come in. When we entered the room he Jay there asleep, but never to wake again. His pulse had stopped. In these two minutes he had passed away, peacefully and without pain./ DEATH BETTER THAN SLOW DECAY All events which take place by na-| tural necessity bring their own con- solation with them, however dread- ful they may be. So in this case. Wecdical skill might have been able to give him a few more years of ve- getative existence,.the life of a help- less being, dying—to the triumph of the doctors’ art—not suddenly, but inch by inch. But our Marx could never have borne that. To have lived on with all this uncompleted works before him, tantalised by the desire to finish them and yet unable to do so, would have been a thousand times more bitter than the gentle death which overtook him. “Death is not misfortune for him who dies, but for him who survives” he used to say, quoting Epicurus. And to see that mighty genius lin- gering on as a physical wreck to the greater glory of medicine and to the scorn of the philistines whom in the {not trouble him with flattery. prime of his strength he had so often put to rout—no, it is better, a thousand times better, as it is—a thousand times better that we shall in two days’ time carry him to the grave where his wife lies at rest. And after all that had gone be- fore, about which the doctors do not know as much as I do, there was in my opinion no other alternative. Be that as it may, mankind is shorter by a head, and the greatest head of our time at that.

He especially sought the company of those who did not hesitate to oppése his views frankly, and those who did The views of manual workers con. cerning the movement were of great interest to him, He was always ready to discuss important political and economic problems with them, quick- ly discovering whether they really knew what they were talk about, and being overjoyed when was the case. NEVER MISSED A MEETING During the lifetime of the Inter- national, he never missed a sitting of the General Council. After the sit- tings, most of us, Marx included, usually adjourned to a quiet tavern and continued the discussions in- formally over a glass of beer. On the way home, Marx often talked about the normal working day, for as early as 1866 we had begun agitating on behalf of the eight- hour day, and this became part of our program at the Geneva Con- gress in September, 1866, Marx was fond of saying: “We want to get an eight-hour day estab- lished as the normal, but we our- Selves are apt to work at least twice as long!” It is unfortunately true that Marx | was too prone to work overtime, that he suffered from overwork. The In- ternational alone cost him a vast amount of time and energy—how much, no outsider can possibly real- ise. Besides this, he had to work for his living, and to spend innumerable hours in the British Museum Read- ing Room gathering material for his historical and economic writings. and on his way back to his home, in Maitland Park Road, Hill, North London, he would often drop in to have a word with me about some matter connected with the af- fairs of the International. When he got home, he would sup, and then take a short rest. After that he usu- Haverstock ally set to work again, often working} far into the night and even into the small hours—more he had been kept away desk too long after supper by visits from comrades. HOME ALWAYS OPEN TO COMRADES Marx’s house was always apen to a trusty comrade. I can never forget the happy hours which I, like so many others, spent in his family circle. Here his wife was the most striking figure. She was a tall and very beautiful woman, of distinguished appearance, but at the same time so kind-hearted, so amiable, so full of life and withal so natural and so free from stiffness, that visitors felt as much at home with her as if she had been their own mother or sister. She was an enthusiast for the workers’ cause; and she rejoiced at any victory, how- ever small, won by the workers in their fight with the bourgeoisie. || Friedrich Lessner a garment worker, was an immigrant Ger- man worker in London, a member of the Communist Workers’ Edu- cational Society, where he bect.me acquainted with Marx and Engel when they came to London to at d Congress of the Com munist League in December 1847 --which adopted their draft of the Communist Manifesto. “When early in 1848,” Lessnex writes in his “Memories,” “the the M reached London, I was priveleged to play a modest part in the pub- manuscript of nifesto lication of this epoch-making | document for I took the manu: cript to the printer and in due course brought back the proofs for aorrection.” || When the March Revolution | broke out in Germany, Lessner returned with the other exiles to Cologne where Marx and Engel: ed the great revolutionary nd was active in the movement there. “With the triumph of the coun ter-revolution, Lessner was ar- rested in 1851, and, after serving two years in pr was sentenced at the famous Cologne Commu- nist ‘Trial to three years in a fort- ress.

Sorge was a close friend of Marx and Engels with whom he came in con- tact during his revolutionary ac- tivity in Germany. Sorge took part in the Baden insurrection in 1849, and after the defeat of that insur- rection, emigrated to America. He kept in touch with Marx and Eng- els while he was in America, and after the founding of the First In- ternational in 1864, Marx and Eng- els @onsidered him as their repre- sentative in the United States, Sorge attended the last European Congress of the First International held at the Hague in 1872, and when it was decided to remove the headquarters to America, he was chosen as Secretary, in which post he continued until the dissolution of the International at the Phila- delphia Congress in 1876. Sorge wrote a good deal on the American labor movement which was published in the old Neue Zeit. He also collected the various cor- respondence of Marx and Engels with him and other leading Soci- alists in America and published them in a volume. The originals of these letters he turned over to the New York Public Library before his death, where they have been Sorge lived in Hoboken, N. J. and earned his living as a music teacher, At the age of 20, he par- tic'pated in the Revolution of 1848, and when he died in 1906 at the age of 78 he had lived through the whole period of the birth and de- velopment of Marxism as the re- volutionary theory and practice of the workingclass of which he was the most outstanding representative in America.
