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.

The great advantage to labor arising out of co-operative effort has been apparent to me for many years.

Labor can and will become its own employer through co-operative association.

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.

A man's sentiments are generally just and right, while it is second selfish thought which makes him trim and adopt some other view. The best reforms are worked out when sentiment operates, as it does in women, with the indignation of righteousness.

Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth; and second, to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive.

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.
