MR. OWEN.

AbDRESs TO THE MERCHANTS AND TO THE WHOLE

VALE AND RETAIL TRADERS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The business in which you are engaged is, for-
tunately for yourselves and society, rapidly drawing
to a termination.

The genuine British merchant is already scarcely
to be found in any part of the world, and the whole-
sale and retail trade of the kingdom will soon be ab-
sorbed by a few great houses, such as Morrison and
Co., Leaf and Co., Ellis, &c., &c., which prin.
ciple of trade will continue to obtain until the whole
business shall be taken up by banking bazaars, which
will supersede banking, and every other more ex-
pensive and hazardous mode of representing and
distributing throughout society the wealth of the
producers.

It is, doubtless, under existing circumsteniles; un-
pleasant to our feelings, to be . obliged to alter our
established habits, and to seek subsistence by a dif-
ferent' direction of our faculties to that we have
been accustomed; but such a change as that which
is about to become unavoidable on your part, will,
instead of being productive of injurious results, be
ultimately highly beneficial to yourselves and to the
public.

It is evidant to every one, that you do not create
a particle of wealth for society but that, without
any adequate compensation to it, or real benefit to
yourselves, you consume, in the support of useless,
showy establishments, a large portion of that wealth
which others produce.
The real utility to the public of all your industry
lies in the distribution you make of the wealth pro-
duced by the industrious classes; but this your sys-
tem effects, only at an enormous waste of that
wealth, and at a cost of, perhaps, 99 per cent. be-
yond what would be necessary under a rational ar-
rangement of society, to produce and to distribute
in the best manner.

You are, however, blameless : you have acted un•
der a system which you did not comprehend—which
you could not direct; but which, on the contrary,
has controuled yon. You would run much less
risk, you would be engaged in occupations greatly
more favourable to health and intelligence, and be
less liable to deteriorating mental and moral in-
fluences, were many of you to become producers of
wealth, under proper arrangements, instead of be-
ing distributors of it, under the very unfavourable
circumstanees in which you have hitherto been placed.
The interest and happiness of yourselves and fami-
lies require that you should, as speedily as possible,
be relieved from the injurious position in which a
most irrational state of society has placed you ;
making you almost a dead weight upon society, arid
rendering you by the fanciful, expensive establish-
ments you have thought it beneficial to form, useless
and extravagant consumers of wealth, instead of
being active and intelligent producers of it, which
wealth would have been made to add greatly to your
own comfort, and to the riches of the public.
It is clearly, then, for the interest of the British
empire, that there should be, among its population,'
the greatest number of intelligent producers, and the
fewest distributors of wealth.
I, therefore, thus address you, to prepare you for
a change of this description,---a change, which the
increase of knowledge renders necessary and un-
avoidable, and which will contribute, more than
could any occurrence, however favourable under the
existing system of society, to the attainment by your
class of permanent prosperity and happiness.
The superior faculties of your nature can never be
called forth under a system which makes it appear
to be your interest to endeavour to buy as cheap,
and to sell as dear as possible. While men are in-
volved in such practices, it is idle to talk of virtue;
as under a system which is technically termed fair
trading, they do but endeavour to obtain advan-
tages one over the other,—the more acute or intel-
ligent prevailing over the. more ignorant or simple.
In a rational state of society, were you to be as
successful in obtaining wealth as you are, under this
system, generally the reverse, your employment
would yet be deemed useless .and degrading.. It
is a system of vicious competition, for the purpose
of procuring for each family the greatest amount,
directly or indirectly, of the hard earnings of the in-
dustrious classes. It is a wretched arrangement of
society, productive of little good to any, and of
much evil to all.

That such a system should be brought to a speedy
termination, your interest and your happiness dearly
require; and therefore it is expedient that you
should afford all the aid in your power to effect the
proposed change with the least possible deliy.
Your friend and former associate,
49, Bedford-square, Jan. 18. ROBERT OWEN.
