Karl Marx (contd-9) -marriage

At the beginning of the 19th century the main instrument for revolutionary movement became ' News Paper' . This gradually turned into a mass movement against the reactionary feudal Prussian Govt. Karl Marx after being deprived to become a lecturer and to deliver lecture among the students took this line as his revolutionary works.
Moses (Moshe) Hess (January or June 21, 1812 – April 6, 1875) was a German-French-Jewish philosopher and socialist, and one of the founders of Labor Zionism.

A series of papers had been launched in Cologne, each failing, with the powerful Kölnische Zeitung generally buying out its fledgling competitors. One of this series of hapless rivals was a newspaper launched in Cologne in December 1839 called the Rheinische Allgemeine Zeitung ("Rhenish General Newspaper")^] The paper struggled for two years without successfully gaining a foothold and seemed headed for extinction.

At the 11th hour a group of prominent Cologne citizens decided to raise fresh working capital and to attempt to reestablish the paper on a new basis. This new version of the oldRheinische Allgemeine Zeitung was to be known as the Rheinische Zeitung ("Rhenish News").

Establishment

The Rheinische Zeitung was launched on 1 January 1842, with Moses Hess serving as an editor.The paper originally expressed a pro-government stance, but its political line soon shifted to better accord with popular sentiment among Rhinelanders, many of whom regarded the Prussian government in Berlin as an oppressive alien entity.

Although living in Bonn at the time of the paper's launch, Karl Marx seems to have been aware of the project from its inception and he began contributing articles to its pages, which drew notice from among the paper's readers. These articles would be the first of Marx's writings (beside his doctoral dissertation) to be published for the public. Previously fixated upon questions of abstract philosophy, Marx was first introduced to practical journalism in the course of writing for the Rheinische Zeitung. It was during this period, too, that Marx first came into contact Moses Hess and with French socialist ideas. on 15 October 1842, Marx was appointed to the editorial board and theRheinische Zeitung began an apparent rise from the ashes gaining nearly 1,000 subscribers over the course of the next month.

Marx analyzed the debate of the Rhineland Diet dealing with the alleged theft of wood by the peasantry — a topic which Marx later recalled "provided the first occasion for occupying myself in the economic questions."^[ Frederick Engels, who first established close personal relations with Karl Marx in 1844, later affirmed that it was Marx's journalism at the Rheinische Zeitung which led him "from pure politics to economic relationships and so to socialism.
The paper got popularity very soon under the editorship of Karl Maarx.
At the middle of Oct the the no. of subscriber was 855 only but after one month it rose to 1,800 and after two months it came to 3,400. The reason for its rapid popularity was undiluted democracy of the editor. The newspaper attracted the attention of the Prussian government censors, who checked every issue for seditious material before printing; Marx lamented that "Our newspaper has to be presented to the police to be sniffed at, and if the police nose smells anything un-Christian or un-Prussian, the newspaper is not allowed to appear." After the Rheinische Zeitungpublished an article strongly criticising the Russian monarchy, Tsar Nicholas I requested it be banned; Prussia's government complied in 1843 But the Prussian Govt. stopped its publication from 31 march 1843.
Being deprived of the publication of the paper , Marx lost his last weapon to go with his revolutionary path.
In 1842 , father of Jenny died and Karl Married her on 19th June 1843 after their continued relationship  of seven  years from 1936 to 43.at Kreuznach.
While staying in Kreuznach, Marx took to deep creative work . He disapproved the idealistic idea of state of Hegel and wrote an essay introducing materialistic idea   in his writing, " A contribution to the critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Law". He said that the key does not lie in the heads of the structure of the state but it lies in the " social relations' which is to be searched within the productive relations of the society. This was an important statement enunciated by Marx in explaining the materialistic interpretation of the development of human society..
Marx then went to Paris at the  end of 1843.
