God would have adopted all these defect. a. the
basis of the social system, if he had chosen the
civilized method or incohercnt labor can We sus-
r.ct the Creator of such want Of foresight Let
u. devote few lines to the examination OF each
of these character. with a parallel OF the effects
which Association would produce marked
thus.
Ist Death; it puts a stop to the undertakings
of n man under circumstances, when no oTe
around him hs. the intention of continuing them,
or the pecessasy cspiial and talent
- The Grosps and Series never die; they re-
place yearly by new candidates those members
whom death may carry of
I'd. Iaconstancy; it CONGRATULATIONS to change
or neglect their measures, and prevents work at
tainin. perfection and stability.
- The Group. and Series not subject to in
constancy; this defect cause neither change
nor vassation in their undertakings. Ii it draw
away annually few members, new candidates are
adni,,.J. who re-astablsh the equilibrium, which
is further maintained by call upon ancient mem
ber,. who are an auxiliary body in case Of urgency.
Sd. Contrast of ciarac'er Je'ircen fatter and
s6r. between the donor and inheritor; contrast
which causes the one to abandon or change works
commenced by the other.
The Groups and Series arc exempt from this
defect. because they assemblaee' OF persons
united by affinity Of tastes. and not by the tie of
consanguinity, which is a sure cause OF disparity
in inclinations.
4. dbsence Of sssfer, and economy; advan-
tnges incompatible with individual action IN IN
dustrv; large associations are necessaryto system
attic all branches Of work. whether hoGseehld Or
agricultural
- The Groups and Series. with the double adj
vantage of large a,scnblsges and combined ac-
lion. can introduce every where the most perfect
system of economy.
j. rrax3 and larceny; inherent defects in all
enterprises where the workmcn are BOT interested,
and do not participate in The profits according to
labor, capital and skill.
The mechanism Of Groups snd Series, fully
Guarded against larceny, can dispense with the ru-
,oog, precautions which those risk. now render
necessary.

Of machines. implements, workshops, capital and
credit-wants which are constantly para!yling In

These obstacles are unknown IN Association,
constantly and abuudanty provided with every thins
necessary to insure an integral prosecution OF anu
perf,ction in all b, snches OF Industry.
