Garibaldi  considered  that  the  social  question  was  the
order  of  the  day,  and  in  a  proclamation  which  bears
his  name,  proposed

*'  that  as,  unfortunately,  the  nation  still  belongs  to  mon-
archy, to  priests,  and  to  privilege,  and  as  (though  we  are
all  adherents  of  the  government  of  honest  folk,  i.e.  of  the
republic),  nevertheless,  it  is  impossible  for  the  moment
to  inaugurate  a  republic,  we  had  better  defer  to  a  more
opportune  moment  an  ampler  development  of  the  political
question,  and  deal  with  the  social  problem."

The  practical  method  he  proposed  was  "  the  union  in
one,  of  all  the  associations  then  existing  in  Italy  ;  the
convocation  of  a  congress  to  discuss  the  questions  pro-
pounded by  the  internationalists  and  socialists,  the
solutions  of  which  are  at  least  practicable."  This  pro-
clamation bears  the  date  of  January  24, 1872.  Mazzini,
in  a  most  temperate  and  convincing  article,  written  on
February  8,  gave  the  reasons  why  he  differed  from  the
general's  opinion, — namely,  that  the  social  question  was
indivisible  from  the  political  question;  that  it  was
impossible  to  resolve  one  without  the  other  ;  moreover,
that  to  keep  silence  merely  because  a  system  could  not
be  inaugurated  in  the  immediate  present,  was  not  the
best  method  to  secure  it  in  the  future.  Garibaldi,  in  a
public  letter,  stigmatized  Mazzini's  appeal,  indeed,  his
whole  propaganda,  as  '^  vane  ciarle,  cose  inutile.'^     And


in  the  last  letter  of  Mazzini's  given  to  the  public  before
his  death,  referring  to  his  own  attempts  to  compose  the
differences  in  the  republican  camp,  he  wrote,  "  I  am  not
the  judge  as  to  whether  I  have  done  or  written  many
useless  things  ;  certainly  I  shall  not  do  that  most  useless
thing  of  all,  offer  advice  to  General  Garibaldi."  No
such  words  of  bitter  sadness  had  ever  escaped  his  lip  or
pen  ;  they  were  wrung  from  him  by  the  agonizing  fear
that  this  man  who  had  done  more  than  any  other  to
effect  the  material  liberation  of  his  countrymen  should,
through  his  immense  ascendency  over  their  hearts  and
imaginations,  sanction  a  crusade  which  could  end  but  in
ruin  and  degradation.  It  is  but  simple  justice,  however,
to  say  that  Garibaldi's  internationalism  had  little  or
nothing  in  common  with  the  sects  and  organizations
professing  principles  which  he  abhorred.*

*  Garibaldi's  internationalism  was  of  a  very  rose-water  order.
