5 III.-Industry alone Dithout plan.

And here we are struck with notable anomaly
in the midst of all these arrangements. 1t ls
that while men have resorted to associated effort
in the execution of almost every kind of enter
prise, it has never occurred 10 them to organize
the human forces, the vita! energies by which
alone all useful results are brought about. We
mean that i. is strange overslg at In the possess
sors of these force. that they have never thought
of combining them for their own benefit. 1t is
true, that military leaders, that Governors of
States that capitalists and spectators, have well
known the secret of the mighty power of united
labor and have ayailed themselves of its advan.

capitalists Of this day. when industry is so much
more developed, and the facilities of intercourse
SO many and important Is it not the plainest
matter imaginable, how immeasurably the labor
ers of any trade craft would be the gamers, If,
instead of working against each other as they DO
now, they should contrive to concentrate their
energies in obedience to some law OF mutual IN
terest!
We can easily conceive of variety of modes
in which the principle of common interest might
be realized The shoemakers or any other class
of mechanics might, without much difficulty,
form themselves into an union, under discreet
and liberal laws, for the prosecution of the differ
ent branches of their trade. With single large
building, somewhere in the centre of trade, with
proper distribution of labor, allowing each man
a payment proportioned to the kind and amount
of his work, with the advantage of having all the
departments of the art conducted near to each
other, with the best tools and materials buying
by wholesale, and at all times commanding the
markets for its saes such league would inevi-
tably lead to the fortune of all its members. But
the advantage of an industrial formation like this
would be greatly extended, if the club of shoe
makers should be so enlarged as to embrace all
the dealers in leather How much could be
saved in houserent, fuel, waste of material, loss
New-York daily tribune., 1844-03-16

In the first part Of the Essay we came to the
conclusion, that the only remedy for the existing
dlstresscs of Society, and particularly of the
working class, could be found in some plan for
the uniting of material interests. We said, that
it was possible for the intellect of man to devise
means by which Labor, Capital, and Talent
should be made to work together, and for each
other, instead Of against each other, and through
which every man would labor for his nelghbor
But thus far, our argument has been mostly
critical; we shall now attempt to make it con-
