ORGANIZATION OF INDUSTRY.

"The high devclopement of Industry and the
Arts and Sciences is the leading character OF civ
ilized Society But, although II has created the
elemcnIs the means, the instruments of Industry,
il, still very far from making the best possible use
of them. The first period of civilization regulated
and c. ganized War, which was Its main and as-
sorbng occupation. 1t left production and indus
try out of the sphere OF governmental action In
dustry has ia consequence been developed by IN
dividua efforts. In lis develoPement 1t has re-
NAMED entirely in the hands of individuals, so
that all the powerful means, which the genius OF
man has conquered, are employed bilnaiy and
| anarchccliy at present in the great operation OF
social Production, Distribution and Consumption.
They are left without regulation or counterPolses,
subject to the will and caprice of individual action
to the arrangement OF hazardous and envlous
competition, to mania of speculation in the midst
of the most perfect incoherence, and the most tla
grant opposition Of interest. All the powerful
means of activity, production and wealth, which
man possesses, he employs most miserabIy-the
general conditions of their application are depior-
| able. These of action, these Inc nstru.
2lents are, for the most part, arms OF industrial
war in our hands; and the hostility, division and
extreme dscord, which reign in the field 81 pro-
duction, are blight to Industry, and permit few
grains only to grow, where with an organized and
well regulated system, abundant harvests should
be reaped.
The principle of ORcANIzArloN is the princi-
pie of Life and Force. What Can be more neces-
sary than TO organize Industry Where is 1t more
important, to extend Life, Force, Convergency,
Order, Unity. than TO the creation of the MATERIAL
moral and intellectual riches which are the con-
dition and means of tie dcvelosement of Hunanl'

which is destined 70 absorb The former oppressive
and destructive activity of war; be left without or

eties if societies of strife and carnage. have regu

lics-societies Of Industry. feel the necessity OF
extending Regulation, Organization, Order and
Unity 10 Industry The world, after having resu-
lated and organized the activity of defence,
destruction and oppression, should comprehend,
tina, the great question, the question above al!
others, ought to be the regulation and organization
of productive Industry.
Order cannot exist. where there Is no organ

place of Disorder in the domain of Industry we

means of The happiness and developement OF man
kind--it follows, that if We wish Order TO reign IN
society, we must necessarily desire that Oraer
should be introduced into Industry; or IN other
words, that Industry shouia Be organized
