water will always supply any amount OF power and

try that may need i, while no time need be lost by
reason of inclemeni weather. The death of the
father or mother would not deprive the children Of
home nor OF their accustomed spheres of industry
or education. Such are few Of the immediate,
palpable advantages OF Industrial Association
The Courier says in reference to remark
that no perfect Association has yet been commenced,
or can be without capital Of 100000 that Z" poor
people could do very well on such capital 'o'ts'

the means are not forthcoming. Wewill be less te
nacious of Association if any other means can be
devised TO secure to all the poor thorough Educa
iion opportunity to Labor and the just recompense
of such Labor.
The sum of 100000 is what we deem necessary
to purchase the land erect the dwellings, DC pro
vide the best ofal needfnl implements for 1000 per
sons or 400 families, being about an average town
ship We presume there is no township OF 1000
inhabitants of which the present valuation Is not lar
more than 500 900. This sum is intended to secure
to so many human beings the amplest opportunities
for Education. Industry. Subsistence, &c in pcrpe
,ni,v with annual interest TO the capitalists, and TO
the laborer every facility 10 acquire wealth as well
as knowledge and skill In our present Society
nronertv worth slOO 900 often fails to give employ
ment and subsistence 70 a dozen human beings, and
rarely secures it TO FIVE hundred-never with any as
surance Of permanency.
The object of this suggested capital Of 100000, is
of course TO form m~del Association and demon
s,ra,e the prac,icabili< Of the system. That ac-
complished, capitalists will not hesitate to advance
capital to purchase lands &c. for future Assoca-
tons holding the property in fee or on mortgage so
as TO be secure against any considerable loss, until
all who need or desire ii shall be permanently and
comfortably located on the soil, and enabled to earn
an ample livelihood without soliciting from time to
| time opportunity to work. AT present, while our
Cities are crowded the earth is not one fourth titled
at ALL and that which is is not quite halftilled This
State alone under system OF Associated Industry
| affords ample room for twenty times Its present
population. The laborers now anxiously seeking
work and furnishing for want of ii IN Cities, are all
needed to subdue cultivate and beautify the earth,

| CAPITAL and Labor any how be brdged
The Courier says in Association the capitalist will
only pay the laboror in cash or products certain
sum as now Not so. The laborer will pay the
Capitalist so much annually interest on or divi-
dend to Capital; and. while he pays this he is tho
roughly independent Quite difference.
| The Courier says it has no plan for the relief of
the destitute but the old plan-lndustry, Honesty
and Economy This is very good so far as II goes
but we still think preaching Industry TO the thou
sands who can find nothing TO do is heaping insult
on misfortune, while Lecture on Eccnsmy TO the
holman who can but earn five do'larsa week TO sup

who can at best make but six shirts week at
twenty cents each--ihe widow, who supports three
ragged children on the profits Of applestand
Welding her from to two shillings profit day
is rather a superiuoss performance Give the
poor practical Education in childhood and EN-
| ployment aterward-teach them how to do some
thing and secure them something TO do that they
live by-and then if they won, work, there is no
more TO be said. Blu, since the natural right Of all
men to the Land as a field for employment and
source of subsistence has in the progress of Civil
cation. been Gu, off we insis, that the Right to La
Dor should be acknowledged and respected Society

death nor even into the Poor House
