      ASSOCIATIVE PROGRESS . Last session a Committee of the House ot Commons , after hearing evidence on the subject , presented an elaborate report , setting forth tho difficulties experienced by the working classes in finding safe aud profitable investments for their small savings , and the obstacles which provent their cooperation for mutual benefit . Among these latter , the operation of our partnershi p laws was shown to bo the most injurious ; and from the manner in which the question was taken up h y most of the inlluential journals , both dailv and

      weekly , wo were in hopes that something would have been done this session for the improvement of the law in this respect . Earl y iu the year Mr . Siankv made a movement in that direction , but of late , we have heard nothing whatever of the subject ; and so t-hi tho flo . se of the Legislative sitting before us in si wci : k or two , it may bo inferred that nothing is to be done this yoar . Wc think tho numerous Cooperative Associations are , to blame for their apath y on this question . There bus not been , we be-Have , < -i single petition ju-csc-iitol j > r : i \ iii £ l \ ir an amendment ami extension 01 * the ' laws ui

      partnership , with the vie * of enabling the working classes to obtain tho - ^""^ . jf protection of the law in any associativa . - . . •' for the improvement of their own wnditK At present all such efforts are i gnored uj' tIie law . They have no legal status whatever . It is obvious that such a position must immensely add to the difficulty of working those Associations successfully . It places tho managers and the shareholders at the mercy

      of a thousand adverse agencies , arising from the caprice , the unsteadiness , or the dishonesty of individuals . Against theso they have neither protection nor remedy , and consequentl y the chances of failure are greatly multiplied ; while , at the same time , such a state of things must naturally , to a large extent , deter the working classes from making those associative efforts for self-improvement , which a better state of tho law would en

      courage . By a report of a meeting of the promoters and contributors of tho lato London Cooperative Stores which ia now before us , wc learn that this anomalous and unsatisfactory state of the law has led to a great change in the constitution of that body . A new Company has been created by a . carefull y drawn up deed of settlement , which appears to be

      admirably adapted , not only for the purpose of defining the relative position , rights , and duties of the various parties to the deed , but to impart that energy and simplicity to the operations of the firm , ivliich must result from the consciousness of legal security in the prosecution of tho important enter prise upon which these parties have embarked .

      The new Association is composed of trustees , a commercial firm , and contributors and subscribers ; and is constituted for 100 years . A large capital is placed at the disposal of the commercial firm for that period , at five per cent , per annum , to be increased periodically under certain conditions . The firm—which is composed at present of three persons—have special duties allotted to them , for which they are to receive a specified salary , with an increase up to a maximum point , contingent upon a proportionate increase of capital and business . Contributors and subscribers are to receive certain shares of the profits , in proportion to their contributions .

      The great object of this new Association is to become the central medium through which local co-operative stores—however multiplied and extended—may secure a supply of every description of commodity they may require , genuine in quality , and at a fixed commission on the wholesale price . One of the difficulties experienced in working the co-operative store was , the distance many of the subscribers had to travel before they could be supplied with the goods they wanted . Under the new arrangement , co-operative societies may be established in any locality of the Metropolis , b y any ten or twenty families , and the central

      agency will suppl y them with goods at wholesale prices , in such quantities aud at such times as they may be required . This will save the necessity for any subscribed capital on the part of these local associations , and give them , at the same time , all the advantages to be gained from tbe possession of a large capital , and great commercial experience . All they have to do is to club their weekly expenditure , in order to have the twofold advantage of genuine goods at wholesale prices—advantages which , in these days of fraudulent adulteration and chicanery , wo should hopo will be fully appreciated .

      Provincial co-operative societies will , iu like manner , have all the benefit of a metropolitan commercial store without any cost beyond that of the fixed small per centage on their own purchases ; and it is clear that in proportion as the business of the Central Agency increases , that per centage will decrease , inasmuch as the profits , after the pay - ment of the fixed salaries to the tu & uagers , are to be appropriated to public purposes .

      It is in this latter aspect , indeed , that the Central Co operative Agency has the strongest claim upon popular support . Tho trustees may be looked upon as the representatives of the industrious classes , and the whole machinery of the firm is placed under their control , for the specific aud direct purpose of improving the condition of tho producers . It is evident that if the Central Agency becomes the medium of exchange to anything like the extent it is intended by its founders , it may become a large employer of labour iu almost every department of industry . It will

      provide markets for the productions of Working Men ' s Associations of all descriptions . Tailors , hatters , shoemakers , cabinet-makers , upholsterers , builders , cotton spinners , weavers , clothiers , iron workers , may all through its instrumentalit y dispose of their productions ; and receive in return the various commodities , raw and manufactured , they require either for industrial or domestic use . Without proposing any organic change , or making any Violent disturbance of the existing system , by this new method of Labour Exchange , the commercial principle which now oppresses and plunders

      the producers may be converted into an agent for their elevation physicall y , mentally , and morall y . They hold iu their own hands both demand and supply , and by liberating themselves from the thraldom o f capital applied for seinah purposes , they may indefinitel y increase both . In a natural and rational state of exchanges , with tho mechanical and scientific means of production and the abundance of raw material at our command , there ought to be no other limit to production and exchange than the temperate but abundant supply of all the wants of mankind . Poverty and destitution are the results of the

      misdirection of our productive powers and the want oi concert and arrangement in exchanges . The Central Co-operative Agency provides the means for ri ghtly directing the one , and applying the other . Should it succeed in these objects , it will effect greater changes in the position of the productive classes than may bo immediatel y apparent . If the Working Men ' s Associations

      were once certain of a stead y market for their productions , and of an equally steady suppl y of raw and manufactured materials for iudus " - trial and domestic consumption , what reason would there be for their herding together in our large towns , exposed to all the unhealth y and vitiating influences b y which they are now surrounded ? Why should not new and scientifically constructed towns spring up along the lines of railway , in which the individual and collective wants of the inhabitants should be studied , and efficientl y provided for upon a systematic , and , at the same time

      economi-, cal principle ? To each of these towns water light , and ventilation mi ght be supplied upon a large and combined system , in a verv superior inauuer to any thing now existing . Schools , Hospitals PublicHallsfor business andrecreatioii might bo attached to tbem , and tho win . ciplo ot Association bo thus made to mini i as much to tho health comfort , and en ovmout ; ot the labouring classes as it does to ' the whicht adorn the

I-ourier , orCabet , and the other systematic Sochi ists ; it has undergone a twofold change , ' and exists in a tonn at once more abstract and more concrrtc . The

      multiplication of systems has practically resulted in tho elimination of the princi ple common to all the theoretical tortus ot Socialism ; which is tin ' s—that industry can be carried on more efficiently and economicall y , more pro . diictivel y and profitably , in proportion as all the parties engaged in the processes of production ami distribution act in concert with each other . While all the systematic Socialist . " , call them hy what name you will , adhere to that principle , which is Indeed thc simplest expression of their tundaniRmal dogma , there are now iu franco large numbers of Socialists who are net to be classed under any of the systematica , but who apply the principle as a matter of economy directly to the existing > tatc uf things , iht-sc newer Socialists constitute politically a body of much importance tor its numbers , its active inteli ; ciice ( and its strong nexus of social organisation . Their ursnni .

      sation is ot this nature . Several working men of the same trade form themselves into a band , and bind themselves to work in common , n mctimes they have begun b y each contributing a modicum of capital : sometimes ' their capital lias been nothing more than the labour of tllcir hands and the power of enduring luwtklwps at the com . mcnceinent . The Associated Pianofortemakers hcean in that way , with the windfall of a littlest , ck belongW to a ruined master ; whose widow and children the noiv pros , perous association may be said to have adqned . Associations that demand a contribution of capital from each man permit candidates for admission to earn the requisita amount of capital , by labour under the Association ; and some bodies have considerable numbers of these c ' andi

      . dates regularly enrolled . Iu some associations he workers arc paid wages according to thc amount of work done the wages of each man tire registered , and the profits are shared in the same proportion as the wages—a check on mere idling . Among the more striking results of which the associated workmen boast are these—tlv . vt thc excess of toil ; tnd the chance of being out of work neutralise each other , by the equable extension of employment t » all tho men associated ; that even periods of glut and stagnation may be equalised by a similar process , through the facilities afforded by an extensive reciprocal intelligence : that

      great economy of time in the matter of attendance , Ac , is obtained by favour of a like understanding ; and that similar economies , together with a saving in costs , are obtained where the workmen deal as consumers with their own or with other associated bodies . These associations , although commenced before , received their first great impulse from the Keiolution of 1848 : their progress iu recruitment has really been immense—they aver that their rolls already include one-third of the population of Paris ; and the progress still continues more steadily and rapidly th : m ever . Hy the operation of the last franchise law , we Pelieve , the greater number of these workmen are disfranchised .

      M . J biers fully understands French politics , and is not ignorant that this party exists . lie knows , anil no one knows it better , that' protection ' is a doctrine doomed to expire j hut he knows that ant ' t-frce trade fits at ouee into the 'interests * which lie propitiates , and harmonises , if not with the doctrine , at lesist with the feelings of Associationists . He wishes to go along with that rising party , though it has » ot yet risen enough for him to commit himself to it . lint it is notorious that he has been in close and formal co'mnunication with it , and has sent away deputations impressed with his ' cordiality' and friendly disposition . In short , as its plods its rough but elu-erful way along , He is nodding to it from his carriage ; he is acting u probable alliance , and casting out sidelong winks implying that , if it put the bestleg foremost , at some convenient turn in the road he may take it up behind .

      Let our readers ponder on the facts and tho suggestions contained ia this extract . They will seo that that thc Co-oporativa Movement , initiated by the Central Cooperative Agency , and tho society for Promoting Working Men ' s Associations , not only heralds a practical improvement iu their condition as producers , but if taken up and carried out with the same energy and determination as in Franco , that it will give them a direct and powerful influence over our

      leading public men , and upon the Legislature collectivel y . Apart , therefore , from the plan laying the foundation of a new and highly advantageous system of Labour and " Exchange , it recommends itself to the advocates of Representative Eeform , as a new mode oi effecting tho political emanci pation of tho people , and the establishment of laws and institutions calculated to promote and secure the rights aud interests of all classes of the community . We trust it will receive , the attention its importance demands .

      Episcopal Rapacity. Tho Bishops Make But...

      EPISCOPAL RAPACITY . Tho bishops make but a sorry defence to tllG attacks upon their veracity and their honesty by Sir B , Hall and Mr . IIorsman . Tho more the manner in which they manage tho Church property is examined the worse it appears , and they liiivo little reason to be thank , ful to that pious young noblemen Lord Blandfobd for hia motion about Church Extension , which has raised such a din about their ears . It is indeed a disgrace ailii ECaildal to find thattoenty-six bishops , according to their own showiug , divide among them nearly £ 200 , 000 yearl y , and that , though they were themselves

      parties to an arrangement by which the revenues of their respective sees , beyond a certain sum , should be paid over to the Ecclesiastical Commission for general purposes , not one of them has kept to the bargain . On the contrary , every one of them is shown to have boon sedulously occupied in cheating the Coinmission in a variety of ways—such as falsifying returns , making all kinds of preposterous deductions trom their gross income ; and when even these schemes failed to reduce it to the stipulated amount , coollv poofcetting the surplus , and leaving tho commission to whistle' for it , without the slightest chance of obtaining it .

      Upon former occasions such allegations as those of Mr . Housmak and Sir B . Hall have either been passed over in contemptuous silence , or met with a brief and haughty disclaimer , based upon the personal character oi tho prelates , whose conduct was called iu question That' dodge' has had its day . No doubt they may be very learned , amiable , agreeable , well-meaning persons , patterns ot all the domestic virtues and especiall

      , y impressed with the force of the Apostle ' s observation - < He that provideth not for his own household is worse than an infidel . ' In their laudable anxiet y to avoid such a stigma we fear however , thev have jumped to the oUu & v extreme , and though testimony to character' has always its own wei ght at " tbe Old Bail ey , it is never allowed to outweigh tacts , or to cause a verdict of ftot Guilty' hi the face of these facts .

      Driven from tho fallacious and weak defence of personal character utid attainments to something mora substantial , several of the Bishops hare latel y attempted a circumstantial answer to the charges against them . The Bishop of B histol and Glovces-I'EH lor instance , has tried to explain away tho grave charge of having , under exceedingly gross circumstances , alienated the line estate ot Horhpld from tho Church , and clutched it tor the benefit of himself and his family . Puking his own explanation it will be found that it amounts substantiall y to the same statemen t as that of Mr . 1-Iorsman which Dr . Monk impudently styles a fiction . The variations in the two

      statements are merel y verbal , TllC loading acts remain unaltered . Bishop GRA 1 ' allowed two lives ol the lease to drop , with the intention ot permitting the estate to lapse to the
