Compound Economic, of A.socfntion.
"O princlpIes Constitute Kche-:
In;ern. RicLc', or health proportional 10 ages:

Two principles constitute Riches
Internal Richie. or health proportional % ages:
External Riches or fortune proportional 70 classes.
Fortune guarantees Us the enjoyment. OF lie.
and with health or internal Riches, complete
development Of the body and senses.
4 system Of compound economy should specu-
late sEon the concurrence of tie two Riches
health and fortpnc. Il falls into SIN p'sm. if it
organize system in which they are not u-i;ed
ard do not lend each other -proca!ly their aid.
Th. is defect Of our Societic-: the wealthy
classes have less corporal ,isor thaa tie asorng
ones. who. poorly rewarded with external riches
or fortune obtain Il greater degree Of internal
riches or health We do not iind the govt in the
cabin. Of the poor we find it often in the luxu-
rious dwellings of the Rich.
The civilized Social Order establishes a eonhict
of the two Riches, separation between them ior
tstersnl Rtches or health proportional to ages, i
in diyer-ing ratio with the external, or fortune
proportional to classes. The wealthy are less
robu-, than the poor which, in true social point,
Of yiew il a mon,trous duphcry Of action. The
two Riches should, according to the law Of unity,
be convergen,; each should sustain and lead to
the other. What j. more false than the assem-
blagc Of two elements which ,hwart and cross
each other
Such Is with US the action Of these two Riches
(which are always in conflict; external riches lead
to excuses, which undermine the health, or ~
tcrnal riches AID internal riches or vigor lead
to excuses in pleasures, which are the ruin OF
fortune. They destroy each other rociPrccally ;
and how dare our ssgcs talk OF unity OF action and
economy of means, when dupiiciiy reigns IN these
two primordiai branches! Can they deny that
there is a dscordani and simple action in the
prc.en, srder Of things, where ricies are separated
from functions which procure health, and where
heaLh is lost in pleasures, which are procured by
rche.l Can they deny that happiness and Wis
dom would consist in a system which combinos
riches aud health. and which led 10 both at once
Such would bee the effect Of Association.
Our preiudiccs have blinded rs to the present
disorder; it has been though; dat Providence
wished to divide its f4yors, AID give to tho aborer
and the savage strength and ygor, in comPen'a-
ton for their privatons. This sophism presents
the idea of an equitable balance but It Is not the
less erroneous ii ia not thus that the Divinity
distributes Justice. He wishes nothing simple in
the DESTINY of Man, and he does net make equili-
brium consist in a dvergency, but in d conyergency
of conirasted elements.
Such is the effects Of the Series, in which the
Rich obtain all equal degree of viger with these
in moderate circumstances.
Thus will be established the concurrence OF 'igor
with wealth, n concurrence without which there 10
no unity of Action between the two primary
branches of human happiness, internal and eN-
ternal Riches.
Let us point out clearly tins radical error OF our
social guides, all falsely bent upon specializing on
simple, instead of compound results
Politicians OIL Riches, negleciing Health;
Morass on Health, neglectisg Riches
The destiny OF the Human Race beng compound II
the mass do not attain tn TWO riches combinedly;
,bev draw upon themselves compound poverty;
(nri,ation offoltunc and vigor.) This is what takes
place in the present state. in which we Ind decline
Orthe Ricn. into relative poverty
