skilliul reaper and the bungler mast wolk through
the same length of time, without regard to Ii.
useful effect Of their labor, in order equally to Dis.
charge their obligations TO each other. But this
is sheer Communism, since it depriyes the ind.

Ii will be seen that we regard Mr.. Wansas
theory Of Equitable Commerce" as a failure.
We have no space to Indicate more fully the Oh.
jections TO which it il liable. Instead of making
Cost the Limit of Price," we would carry iato
effect the great natural law of giving the producer
the ownership of his products. The neglect Of this
is 1T the foundation of slavery, pauperism, crime,
and the myriads of social evils, which the Obi.
lanthropist deploIes, and which it is the function
of social science to remedy. Let the products Of
labor in all cases be guaranteed to the producer.
and the material condition of individual Sovereign
ty will be fulfilled. This principle should be made
the basis of all plans for social reform; and when
il is wisely applied we shall see the "new hes.
yens and a new Earth" which is promised by the
dninest instincts of man, and to doubt Of which
would be practical Atheism.
