Earth j. fertile enough to give in rich abundance
every thing necessary to the wants and comforts OF
bc universal family of Man, and as God has made
none Of his children fools. brutes criminals they
can all feel the beauties OF Art, comprehend the
ruth, of Science, ENJOY and lead an honorable and
Noble existence Let a true Social Order be or.
ganzed and the whole Human Race can be clc-
waited and rendered hapry,-and he who says it
cannot, denies Gods universal Providence, and is
practically an Atheist.
In our present article we will say a few words to
toe I.aboring Cla.scs,-or rather 10 those among
them who are not entirely absorbed by the care
and trouble, of their tread-mill life and who can
take an interest in universal principles and great
Reform.
Yon FORM Laboring Classes. in all countries, what
NAV be called the iowcr SirGta of Society; 1t Is
upon you that rest principally the Poverty, Toll
and H.rlships OF our false Societies. IL Is you
who produce all the Wealth of the World, who
flpptS and rlnN
cato ihem,-who construct It's roads, canals, rail-
ways, machinery, and wSrk thcm,-w who till the
soil.-who dig the minerals and marbles from the
bowels of the Earth, and mould and shape them
to their manifold uses; it is your creative and
,ivying Labor which transforms the wilderness
into blooming fields and gardens that makes the
Earth habitablc, ard produces all things which are
necessary to the wants and material comforts Of the
Human Family.
1t is also from among you that are drawn the
soldiers wro fight the battles of Conquerors, and
who pay by death and the laccraton of their bode,
for their glory. ltsyou who vote and raise States
men and Legislators their posts of honor and who
then toll to produce the means of paying them the
cmour.cnts of their Offices.
Your merit Is great; yos rewarded in pro-
por,ionl No,-but i'll exact disproportion. You
enjoy not what you produce; You are shut out from
the banquet of life which your patient labor pre-
parcs /; YOU endure the suiernss, priyations and
hard,hips of Society; YOU arc in most countries
dcsp.cd and looked upon with contempt by the
higher Glasses, who would starve without YOU
and in the very few, where You possess the RICH,
of Suffrage, YOU are scrvilcly fatcrcd. but not
,pccted, by those who wish your votes.
Such is Your condition. such the reward of your
services Why is this so! Why arc Won poor, down
trcdden and dcspiscd We will briefly point out
the reason 1t is because YOU are divided in inter
csts and because YOU arc separated. and live and
labor isolatedy. The Laborcr who is alone cannot
build workshops and manufactures for HIMSELF he
must therefore labor in those which Others who have
Credit and Capital can build. lie becomes A. a
consequence dependent upon thcm,-subjcctcd to
their control and dciation. He must accept such
conditions as they choose t. impose upon him.
receive such pay rs they are willing to give, and
work such number of hours they see fit to re-
quirc in short. hc becomes a hired Drudge
working by the day, and completely dependent
upon those who are the Possessors OF the soil,
manufactures and other means of production.
There Is another rcas On why you are poor:-lving
separately as YOU do, each having an isolated house
hold, YOU must supper, by your single labor your
selves and unproduc,vc families If you are
fortunate enough to swn little shop or a piece of
land ct your own, YOU canno, establish branches of
Industry, either in Agriculture or Mechanics. which
are suited to the strength, taste, and capacities of
YOUR Children and they,a, a consequence produce
nothing. ~ each of YOU have a separate dwelling.
aud a. all the details OF cooking, washing market.
ING. making fires. &c. must DC gone through with
separately, the time and labor of your Wives are
completely absorbed. and they in turn produce
nothing. The consequence Is, that the Labor Of
enc person mus, support four OF FIVE non-producsrs
With such a system you must always be poor. and
nothing can proven, it; with Poverty, come lgno-
rance and Dependence. and out Of these. grows a
/ train OF other Evils.
