Groups and Series.
There Is one important fact winch l. naDt,,ropi,, is
and intelligent Worhinsmen shoa,d Keep IN view.
aud that 10. that the u, ghi nj Latter i. not. in ous
false Societies, guaranteed to Man. The proof Of
i- Is, that there thousand, Of person, in this
city who are njw Out Of ompl0, rent, making every
effort to ind wote and still unaLl, to obtain it.
Thee persons, with their families, are harassed b,
killing anNieties; they are exposed 10 want and
Prva'ions, winch engender a vast amount Il dis
ease aud premature death. The Right of Labor,
"F mean, OF always obtaining employment. is rot
guaranteed 10 Man; he possesses merely the Right
OF going round aud begging labor from his fellow
man, and ,ubeciins himse. to MS orders ard Ca

away wiih TN. violation Of Mans primary Right
with tbi. shameful ,ublecucu If the iudividJa to

his fellow man. !, tie -y-iem OF Groups and
Series oAl, reform thi, state OF ,hlng,, the
/ Reader will perceive how aii-impouami ii Is to
understand that system.
All occupations or branches of Industry will nc
carried Oh IN Associa;ior q. We have explained
by a number Of persons united together AID form
ing Group, each OF whom would choose that
letail oi tine wor, mss; suited and a.rcoaj,c To-
him. Occupations would not be prosecuted by
Jingle individuals. working aiore. aad executing
all the details u. a .oIn.
How viii these Groups b. formed, it viii ba
a.hodi
We Will explain. the manner. suppose tl.ree VI
four persons in an Association, who understand
some branch OF lndustry-say saddIc-mal. ing.
cnbinet.makne, breeding horses, or care Of fruit
trcc.-jecided upon uniting for the purpose Of
prosecuting any one of these brsnchc,. from
taste for the occupation. desire Vi profit. aid o,hs
reasons. They would make their intention known
TO the members OF the Association. and would rally
round them those persons who had any know ledge
of the busne-s-who would like to learn II, or
mis- ht. from any other cause. w.s to Join the new
Group. As soon a. sufficient number were united.
they would form themselves into a Group; they
would choose the most skiiliul aud active per
sons among them as Officers. such a. Prc.ilen,
Assistant President, and Secretary they would
divide the work into many parts as it would
admit Of advantasoous,, and one, two, three
Of the members would choose that part OF
detail which taey preferred, and could execute tho
best. Thus the Group wo Id be composed OF seye-
raj sub Groups, each OF which would attend TO one
part or subdivision Of the work The great per-
lection which could be given to all branches ol
Industry by this system vo,iid he -incaicllabls.
Suppose a Group were occupied with the care
of a fruit.orchard To graft and clean the tree,
would be one part Of the work.-To dig, hoe or
loosen the earth about the roots, and manure it,
would he another Par.-To collect, assert tie
irut and pack it, would be- third part.-To take
care of the implements, collect seed, &c, would
be fourth part. With each Of these parts some
members, bu, not til, whole GrosP, wosi be oc-
cupitd.
Suppose five OF ,ix Gr.uP, are culliNating FIVE
or six varieties of iruit.irce'; ihey would form
Series Of Groups of Frut-Crowcr,. \ Series, as
we see, i. composed of a number of Groups, as
Group i composed of number Of individuals
All branches of Industry will admit of divisions.
which would be carried on by Groups. In the
busines. of carpentry for example, there would
be- window blind makers, sash-makefs, door
makers. Sc, or some other divisions, which
nigh, be- Judged better. There would be- Nv many
Group. as there are divisions, AMI ak thee "rou.
united together. would form Strfcs 81 car
renters. Ii there were three or'iuur Nareucs OF
horse. raised in As,ociaion,-say tho blood
horse, the Arabian, aud the dfay-hOrse,-there
would lie u. many Groups as there were varieties,
and these Groups combined would form Series,
devoted To the breeding OF horses.
There would he in an Association Series os Car
ne .ters-Cabinet- rnakers-painers and Guilders-
Saddlcrs--SIoc-ma kers--Lat;er,--Bla and
Whitcsmiths-I ,cksmiths. Ac., which would form
the Scric, of Mechanics and Manufacturers. There
would Ice Series of Observation-Disclosures
Fruit.srowers, &c. which would form the Asricui-
,nral Series. There would BE- >cre, devoted to
the raising Of Domestic Animals, and to other lead
ing divisions Of Industry. Sfie. engaged IN lshior
occupation, and suited to the tastes OF women
such a. confectionery, embroidery, &c. would a'o
be established.
These explanations and detail, are all important

con,,antlv hereafter The reader should have
distinct idea OF the Mechanism of the GrosPs aud
Series. which Inc can do f,om what we have said
and shall say.
To organize an Association, and make II move
ON successfully there must be Ut least ioiiy Sefc''
and 10 form TN, number oi Series, iOuI hundred
per.on. at least are necessary. Here j.. the reason

Industry cannot be rendered attractive and tree

Let Us point out few OF the contrasts which VII
exist between the present system OF lndusIr! ana
