No diciation or tyranny Of the Kind mentioned
could be exercised ~ Sc Will -how. Let ~ sup
poe an extreme casc,-lct rs suppose 'ia, two OF
three individuals are owners Of all the Stock Of an
Association; this monopoly viii give them no con-

raj management and affairs of the Association.
The busncs, operations, and interests Of the As.o-
cil'on would. rs we have cxpilincd. be managed
by Councils, elected annually by all ;hc members.
Tie Industrial Council. composed of the most
scientific and experienced persons. would have
the supervision Of the Agricultural, Manufacturing
and Mechanical Departments. They would give
General directions a. to the manner in which he Do
main should be cuIiiya'cd. what new branches OF
culture what races Of ANIMAL &c. should be intro
durod. how the workshop, and manufactures should
bee fitted up. aud would supervise and direct the Va
ron. detail. relating 10 tho industrial operations "i
the Establishment. The few persons who owned
,hc Stoch would have M control over all this: they
oiohi DO elected member. of the Council. and there
they could give their opinion and advice, and would
have their yo'c, but , simple Individuals, a'd ont
Of the Council the, would have 40 more conifo.

where a hedge even ,Aouli be located. how field

.i,cn Il slave of his Money. They will receive
oue-quart,r o., the profits oi the Association a. in
rics, upon their Stock; bu; they can exercise no
arbitrary control. A. We showed in our last ar

they will have the righ, only to one-quarter Of the
profits. 1t is not consequently the E0r'h HSeU
and other implements of production which belong
to them; it is the qunrter part Of the product;
they viii receive their share, and the Soil and
manufactures will remain under the supervision
and management Of the Association.
Capitalists in Association will not, however.
wish TO exercise that arbitrary and offensive die
rnion or tyranny which they now so often do;
they would only disgust their fellow members
around them by it. who would look upon them
with contempt. As the latter would be able to
support themselves in ease by their Labor-ior
Labor will reeeivc thrcc-qcartcrs ct the total pro-
duct or Iroils of the Association-and being Sc
cured the Right of Labor, or Right of taking part
at all times in those occupations which pleased
them. they will be, in pccuniary point OF view,
perfectly INDEPENDENT and will not have to beg OF

/ Suppose twelve or fifteen persons in an Assoc
citation wished to prosecute some branch OF Asr'
culture or Manufactures; they would not have TO
ask permission from any one. They would TORN
themselves into Group: elect the most able per-
sons among them i officers OF the GROUP ana
adopt Bylaws for their regulation. The Asso-
citation would furnish them the land, workshops
implements. machinery, &c. necessary tor carrying
ON their branch Of Indu>iry-ior the use oi when
they would pay one-luartcr of the product. No
individual or set of individual, in the Association
would hire them they would be equal associated
mariners regulating their own affairs, hxing theiT
Lour. for work and other similar details, and would
divide the product cquitably among themselves
