no visionary scheme" but rational and
indispensable condition of improvement, in
Society, everybody must confess who will
only reflect, for moment, upon what have
been and must De the results Of combiua

section.

wanting, where the laborers would be
properly rewarded fer their diligence and
skill, where the distribution Of crops could
be accurately adjusted to the nature and
variety OF soils, were no part of sthe hur-

substantial granaries would secure the
harvest against all the vicisstudes Of the
seasons and of accident, and where the
highest degree Of scientific and practical
knowledge could be combined in all kinds
Of cultivation through the concurrence Of
the experience Of many--is so obviously
superior in point of produce and economy,
to the impoverished and miserable speci
mems of husbandry which prevail on our
small farms, with neither capital, skill.
nor labor, suble Il inevitably to misman-
agement, and altogether unable to take adj
vantage OF the various properties Of the
soil, the view needs only to be suggested
to sound mind to be instantly appreci-
ated.
In Manufacturing Industry, the advan-
tages Of weil-reguIated combination would
be still more desirable and immense By
concentrating the capital and skill of a
whole community-by bringing the differ
ent departments of mechanical execution
into the closest neighborhood and helpful
ness-by introducing the minutest division
Of labor-by rendering available the arg-
est economies in steam or other power, in
machinery, in fuel, in rent, insurance,
taxes and space-and, at the same time,
by avoiding that pestilerous competition
among individuals which withers the en-.
ergies Of workmen. the products Of labor
could be multiplied to an incredible ex.
tent, and with less wear and tear Of hui
man muscles and less loss of human sympa.

the perplexities and frauds OF retail deal
