An Important Trmth to be kept before the


Producing Glasses.


The two principal causes Of the poverty ei the
| Producing or Working Glasses, and of the cx-
ccssvc labor to which they are subjected. the
following


First. Free Competi,on-or, as it should be
termed, Hostile and Ruinous Competitions This
ruHou. and antagonistica principle renders the
Producing Classes mutual enemies, working
against instead of working for each other, and
striving to wrest from anolier the labor that
Capitalists and Employers require. Il forces
then. gradually to reduce the price Of wages al
most to starvation point, and to increase the hours
,i labor beyond what tho human frame should bear.


Second Monopoized Machnery--or Machinery
IN The hands of Capitalists, which works AGAINST,
INSTEAD of OR, the Mass Not only do ,heW Wcrl>ins
Classes wage competitive war against each other,
but Machinery is also brought into the field to bat
tie against them With this double power operating
upon them, it is perfectly evident that they must
be reduced to ablect pecuniary dependency and
poverty, and be made the slaves of Capital
So long as these two false principles exist in

neither Political Administrative Currency, nor any
other Reforms which are now the order of the day,
nor Free Irede nor Protection can improve effect
naly the condition of the Producing Glasses, and
secure them prosperity and worldly comfort


We must do away with these two principles
this industrial war of the Producing Class among
themselves individually, and Of Machinery against
them collectively


How can it be done it will be a.ked.


The means are very simple, and can be explained
under tw heads


lst. Make the Working Glasses owners OF the
soil which they cultivate.


Cd. Let the machinery with which they work be
theirs SO that it will labor for, and not against, them


1t is perfectly amazing that our leading Poh-
tlcnns do not see these real causes OF the poverty
Of the Producing Classes they certainly very
easily anaYzed Out of charity to their honesty
the guide. of the People, prefer to suppose that
they a, e ignorant of rather than silent upon, them


The Working Classes must associate and unite
among themselves they can easily obtain the soil
on which to locate themselves, aud the machinery
with which to work They will then receive the
fruits OF their labor they will not then work against
each other and will no, cut down their wages to OBJ
tain employment or to throw their fslow aborel5
out of their places. They will vie with each other
in producing the most possible, and OF the best
kind and will divide equllably the product OF thcll
abor,-each receiving share proportoncd to the
part which he has taken in producing IT.


surposc an Association of FIVE hundred or "a
thousand Working Men owned machinery which
could perform the labor of, say, 10000 hands
which it would be easy to do--tiis machinery
would not, in the first place, throw one-a!i or
tlrcc-ouarte1s Of them ort of employment, as at
srcscnt, and give the profits to enc or two persons
who owned it. On the contrary, the product would
na 10 The owners Of ito the Working Men who
form the Association,-and after reScrvng what
was necessary for their own wants they could
disnose of the balance and obtain other products


Political Constitutions have been established
which guarantee to tic People more or less OF tkelr
Political Rights. The Producing Glasses, who are
essentially The People, should devise and estab-
lish an Industrial Constitution, which will guaran-
tee thcia their Industrial Rshts-:he two funda,
neutal ones of which arc


Guaras,cc Of the Right of constant Employment.
Fruit of Toll to the Producer.


The two fundamental points of this Industrial
Constitution should be


lst The Producing Classes-lrecholdcrs OF the
soil which they cultivate.


ID. Tho Producing Classcs-owners of the ma
chincry with which they work, that it may labor
for, and not against, them.


Politicians Leaders of Parties! Rcformcrs OF
all kinds here is plain and simple policy, easily
carried out, and the effects OF which will be grand
in good results. VIII YOU not examine 1t, and lend
