Worcester Palladium Archives - The Libertarian Labyrinth

William B. Greene, Foreign Correspondence (1854–1855)

November 30, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

Do what you will, the crater of the revolutionary volcano is bound to be reopened. England must revolutionise Hungary, and put the nationalities of southern Europe once more upon their feet. The triumph of democracy is approaching. England and France have not two armies to lose, while Russia can have one army after another annihilated without feeling her energies exhausted. In Finland, Poland, Italy, Hungary, there and there only—with the assistance of certain populations of Asia—can the immense masses be found which are required for the adequate opposition of Russia.

William B. Greene, “Capital and Labor” (1849)

June 18, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

[one_third padding=”0 10px 0 10px”] This was the last series of articles from The Worcester Palladium incorporated into Equality (1849). The first installment underwent minor revisions, but “Socialism in Massachusetts” both begins and ends with substantially different sections. This was not, of course, the end of the articles by “OMEGA” or even the end of the “Equality” series. Greene would contribute at least another dozen articles to the Palladium, but that material never found a place in Greene’s book-length works. In the end, both Greene and Pierre Leroux would leave their respective series on equality unfinished. Wm. B. Greene in […]

William B. Greene, “Equality” (Worcester Palladium, 1949)

June 18, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur

This series of articles from The Worcester Palladium would be incorporated into Equality (1849) and Mutual Banking (1850), which would, in turn, become the basis for the subsequent editions of William Batchelder Greene’s Mutual Banking. The first did not actually appear in Equality, but became the “Introduction” to the later book, where it appeared with only very minimal changes. The other two installments did appear in Equality, with a few revisions in the second and some fairly significant revisions in the third. Returned to their original sequence, with their original conclusion restored, aspects of Greene’s craft become apparent, as the parallels between the sections are clearer and the wide breadth of material addressed appears considerably less random.

Lessons from the Worcester Palladium

January 3, 2008 Shawn P. Wilbur

I finally sat down to collate some of the “Omega” articles (which William B. Greene wrote for the Worcester Palladium in 1949) against Equality and the 1850 Mutual Banking. In his scan through the paper Brady Campbell identified six articles under the “Omega” pen name. Equality – – No.1 by OMEGA. – Wednesday 18 July 1849 – Deals with Moses, and equality among Christian brotherhood Equality – – No.2 by OMEGA. – Wednesday 25 July 1849 – Deals with the banking system Equality – – No.3 by OMEGA. – Wednesday 1 August 1849 – Deals the repeal of usury laws […]
