Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce.

In a condition of society and under an industrial organization which places labor completely at the mercy of capital, the accumulations of capital will necessarily be rapid, and an unequal distribution of wealth is at once to be observed.

Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce.

Legislation has been and is still directed towards the protection of wealth, rather than towards the far more important interests of labor on which everything of value to mankind depends.

There would be no idling in a co-operative workshop. Each workman, being an employer, has a spur to his own industry, and has a pecuniary reason for being watchful of the industry of his fellow workmen.

The employee is regarded by the employer merely in the light of his value as an operative. His productive capacity alone is taken into account.

Every thoughtful and kind-hearted person must regard with interest any device or plan which promises to enable at least the more intelligent, enterprising, and determined part of those who are not capitalists to cease to labor for hire.
