The discovery is made that Chicago hins no Commissioner of Health, Dr. MoVickan hav. ing failed to file his ofiicial bond and take the onth of office ns required by tho charter. A new appointment and conflrmation will be necessary, and no timo sbould bo lost in straightening out the crooked complication. S —— Liout.-Gov. Tuomas, of Virginin, ia o fair sample of Southern Democracy, Being asked, in tho course of a recent specch, whether he bad not takon an oath to support the Constitution of the United Btates, and then violated that oath by engaging in tho Robellion, he repliod: “I did, and under similar circumstances will do so ngain.” ——t From the roturns thus for received of the registration in Chicago it is safo to predict for next Tucsday the hoaviest voto ever polled in this city, and wo confidently expect 10 seo some astonished Democrats after the ‘bollots have been counted and it becomes known just how small o proportion of this big vote is cast for Tiupey, Henpniczs, and Lew Srewanp, Se——— 1t is understood in New York that Tripex in gotting ready to issuo another proclama- tion, and that he will make one finnl effort to rotriove the ground tost within the past few days. ‘The big meeting of Wednesday night, whon Wirriast M. Evants spoke to ono of the grondest gatherings ever seen in thatb city, hus thoroughly frightened the Demo- cratic managers, and convinced thom that nothing short of a tremendous effort can pre- vent the wholesalo dosertion of tho solid ‘business men who have horotoforo acted with the party. Oflicinl dispatchasjboth from St. Poters- burg aud Belgrade, the Servian Capital, sn- nounce that the Porte has finally complied with the demand of Russin for an armistice, and that o two months’ truce hias been agreed upon, commencing Nov. 1. Tho opposing armics aro to retain the positions which they now hold, It remnins to bo secn whether negotintions looking to & settloment of the present complications will progress moro smoothly or sutisfactorily now that Russin Lins gained her point in tho matter of an armistico, Tho six thousand citizens of Chicago who have signed the petition calling upor. Judge MoArusten to resign will shortly hinve the satisfnction of secing the movement in ‘practical operation. A Cominitteo was yester- day appointed at tha Board of Trade meoting to seleet n Commiltes of Ten whoso duty it shnll be to present tho potition to Judge MoAruwsren. Thus far he bas only learned through tho newspapers of tho existenco of such u petition, and it will remain for tho Comimittes of 'Pon to furnish him with ocular proof of the goneral disapproval of his course during the Sustavay trinl and of the dasire that ho should vacate his position as Circuit Judge. “Throngh the vigilanco of tho Republican Committee of Luzerne County, Pa., a Democratio schomo of fraud hns been frus. trated, and the polling of & large number of froudulent votes for Trpen aud Neform prevented. Tho schemo consisted in the ox- tensive distribution of counterfeit naturaliza. tion papers among the minors of that rogion, and onc Notz, o prominent loeal politician, has been arrested and held in $8,000 bail for his shive in tho fraud, In Now York and Penusylvania the campnign scoms to lhave been narrowed down to the issua of frand and the provention of fraud, and the Repub- licans dye gotting decidedly the best of it. Bomo dnys ago attention was called to tho charge that Lew Srewanp, the Demociatic candidate for Governor, was a debtor to the State of Illinoly iu tho mmount that he pledged himsclf to pay for the attendance and care of his iusano sister, who dled at the Jncksonvillo Asylum in 1854, 'This chargo having beon denied by somo of Srewann's organs and friends,—though not by himself, —a correspondent of Tuw I'ninuNe has visited Jacksonvillo and from the books of the Asy- lum ling transeribed the cutries covering the case in point, from which it appenrs thot Lew Stewanp {8 to-day a repudiator of tho bond ho exccuted for tho caro of bis unfor. tunate sister, even refusing to poy the ox. peuses of her burial by tho officers of the Asylum, - It appears that the enforced col- lection of this claim ngninst Brewanrp i barred by the Statuto of Limitations, though its justice i iudisputable. The people of Hlinois will see to it next Tuesdny that this disroputable repudiator is ropudiated.

One hundred dollars in gold would buy $109.75 in grecubacks at tho clo: The conversation of Mr. Brawe with the Sontherner, which he narrated in his recont specch in this city, is worth roproducing, and wo give it in Mr. Buang's own lan. guage : 1 sald to him, **My friend, you live In tho South? **Yes," ho replicd, '*Well, yon brag of your cotton crop down there.* *'Yes," ho eald, *‘we rafro 8 cotton crop of $300,000,000,* ** And tobacco?® ¢ Yes, we ralee a cotton ceop of £100,000,000." **And corn, and rice, and hemp, and Angar?* *'Oh, yes," ho said, ‘‘the whoio thing Is over $500,000,000 nnnually.” **Well, I wiah yon would state to me just what proportion of this great aggregate, this vast sum, is raiscd by the niggers, as you call them, and how much by whitemen? **Ob, ' he sald, **the negrocs ralso pretty much all, " Tho point to this conversation lies in this —that the blacks of the South raise moro than four-fifths, 90 per cent Mr, Braing esti- matos, of its products upon which the whites subsist, and yet, dependent as they are tipon this class, they rofuso to allow them to have any political rights, and iusist that only those who don't., work shall liave rights. .

This nliionce of lnziness with ignorance, pauper- ism, nnd scoundrelism is worthy of.-tlhe ob- ject it hos in viow. It is timo that the in. dustry and intelligonce of the country com- bined in & vigorous offort to crush out this dangorous allinuce, and to give tho Inborers of the South the fruits of their labor, or nt least nssuro them in their logal rights. —eee e * THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. 1t is neither very surprising nor vory dam- aging that the Chicngo Zimes has como out with n characteristic tirado ogainst Mr, Loneyz Brextavo, the Republican candidate for Congress in the Third District, which in- cludes tho North Division of tho city, the northern part of Cook County, and all of Lako County. One reason why this wos to liave been expected is beenuse, immedintely after his nomination, tho Z%mes acknowledged him to be aman of large information, wide reading, general culture, nund particular familinrity with political affmirs, Of course it was out of all question for the Chicago Times, which is in full training with the Tir. DEN crowd, to givo its support to a gentle- wan of such excellent parts and so eminont- ly fitted to usefulness as o membor of Congress, But the special renson why the T¥mes, of nsudden, opposes Mr, BreNTaxo's election is to bo found in tho fact that tho Staats-Zeitung is sapporting him, It is not possiblo that the two powerful minds that control tho destinies of these two newspa- pers should meet upon common ground; the advoency by one of any doctrine or candidate is always a sufficient ronson for the opposi- tion of the other, nnd vice versa, We have no specinl objection to urfo against the Times' opposition to Mr, BRenTa- No; judging by the past, it augury well for Mr. Brentano's success, DBub the Z'imes cannot be permitted to lie sbout him, If it had openly opposed DneNTano beeauso ho is not supporting. *TioENy and Reform,” “ Hexpneers and Reform,” * StEwanp nand Roform," ** Hoxiz and Reform,” and all that crowd (which is the true remson of the Times' hostility to him), wo should have passed it by or referred to it as an ndditional ronson for Mr, Brextano's clection, But thero is somothing deliberately malicious nbont the following assertions : Sinco his nomination by the **mnchine, ho has Been golng about the disteict mnking talke in Ger- man; bat, though frequently called upon to do so, ho has not In a singlo Instance addressed an audl- ence in the langunge of Congre: ventured to moke nn attempt to do g0, It has been opendy and posttively charged fhat this man, who askx to be elected to the American Congress by o **solid German vote," laso gromsty Ignorant of the lun- guuge in which all American legislation 1s con- ducted that ho cannot even speak to any audience in that langnage intelligibly. The charge has not Dbeen denfed {n tho language of Amerles, and the Umea nuserts positivoly that Mr. Brentano cu@not deny it {u that language, g It would be diflicult to compress more falschoods, direct and inferential, in the samo amount of space. To begin with, so far from boing nominated by the *inachine,” Mr, BuenTano's nomination was duo to the consolidation of tho cloments in the district opposed to the “machine,” There was the most outspokon and enthusiastic declaration for Civil-Servico Reform in the District Con- vention, aud Mr, Brentavo responded to it in tho same spirit, Ha is fully committed to the spirit of Gov. Hayes'lettor of ncceptance on tho subject of reforming the public sor. vice, i8 in entirc sympathy with it por- sonally, and hos the eupport in his dis- trict of all tho gentlemen who believe this to be the leading issuv of the cimpaign, In tho second place, it is not true that Mr. Inenrano “hos not in a single instance ad. dressed on audienca in the languago of Con- gress, nor voutured to make an attempt to do 80" Tho fact i that, of tho specches ho has made during the campnign, about Lalf have beon in English and tho olher half in German, and the latter have been made in deference to tho large German population in Lis district to whowm he could thus couvey wore dircctly tho meaning of the campaign, In the third place, it is false tochargethat Mr, Brextano cannot make aspeech **inthelan. guuge of Congress," aud the chargoe is slmply the echio of a rumor that has been sob aflont in certain portions of Lake County which Mr. Baexntano hasnot been ablo to visit, and whero Lo hus not spoken in Euglish, The fact iy, that Mr, Brestano Is a thorough liu. guist,—a fino Englishi, German, French, and classical scholar, Purtly owing to Lis foreign birth and partly owing to his manner of speach, his nccent is sometimes noticcable, but never unintelligible, But as to lis knowledge of the English langunge, he cor- taiuly writes it betier than the gentlemen who have tho run of tho editorial page of the Chicago Z¥mes, ond we suspect that he oven spenks It with less brogue, as Lo cer- taiuly docs with more gramuatical accurnoy and greater tasto aud elegance in tho cholce of language, 3 A clirunio talker s more apt to be a nul- sanco than o bonofit in Congress. Mr, Oan- Te6 Hannison has done sowething in the way of domounstrating thiy . proposition, Ready speoch-makiug is not tho best recom. mendation for a Congrossional candidato; and, it it were, wo do not seo that Ar, L. Moyxe (who didu't open his mouth at the lust session of Congress that wo kuow of) has any advantage over Mr. Brextavo, Tho Intter hins beon a student of Amorican insti- tutions for twonty-fiva yenrs, nnd isin full sympathy with tho best_ clements of Amor- ican politics; he expresses himself clearly, fluently, and corrcetly in tho English lan- guage 08 well as tho German; and, ns A scholarand dignified gentlomnn, ha will bo ncredit to tho next Congress and to tho Distriot that shall send him thero, TILDEN'S LETTER AT THE S80UTH. Most of the Confederntes have had gump- tion enough to comprehond that Mr, Trr- DEN'S lettor, liko all other Demogratia denials of the Rebol claims schemo, was intended for Northern readers, and they significantly close one eye, put the forefinger of tho right hand fo the nose, and smile a complaisant assent, Tho mejority understand porfectly well that some votes must be got for Tirpen out of Northern States, nnd that not ono clectoral vote could bo sccured north of Masox and Dixon's line if the dangor of the Rebel raid on the Nationnl Trensury wero not belittled or befogged; and so they acquiesco in the denials with the sercna con- sclousness that they will have the control in cnse of Democratic success, and that tho in. dividunl utterances of Northern Dembcrats bo- fora election will have to give way before the power of tho caucus oafter clection. But somo’ of them are obtuso and obdurato, Titpexn's letter was regardoed ns a forgery whenit first reached the South—ns a dinboli- cnl Radienl invention, in fact; so much so, that the Memphis Aralanche had to reiterate the assurance of ita gonuinencss. Thore are also somo of the Southerners who have not the aoutencss to discern tho real aim of the deliverance, or clso have too much honesty to join in tho deception. Among these in Mr. Josern 11, Sross, & member of the For- ty-third Congress from Alabama, andnow editor of tho Tuscumbin (Ala.) Zimes. Wo printed yesterday an article from his papor, in which he very plainly expresses his dis- gust at tho ‘‘moral cowardico” of tho Northern Democrats who have donied the cxpectation of the South to re- coup their war losses at tho expenso of tho National Government. Speaking for himself and tho people of the South, he insists that ‘‘not only should the claims of loynl citizens ngainst the Government for private property taken or destroyed during the War by the Fedoral army bo paid, but that in every case whero privato property was taken ond used by or for the benefit of the Government, it should be paid for.” And he says boldly that ** there must be no backing down from a detormination to assert and insist” upon this, No intelligont person who has taken the pains to noto tho condition and sentiment of tho Southern peoplo will doubt for a monent that Mr, Sross foirly understands, fairly rop- resents, and fairly speaks for the Bouthern people in this matter. Mr. Tiuoey, on the other hand, has alrendy instrueted us about * the fatuity of self-imposed rostraints of enndidates.” Tho “Solid South” will constitute two-thirds of tho Democratio caucus in Congress, They will comprehend most of the ability and influonco of & Demo. cratic Administration. Thoy will have back of them n peoplo united to a man in faver of the allowance aud payment by the Govern- ment of every species of claim, back-tax, subsidy, or what-not that will put money in tho Southern pocket and help to restora somothing like tho prosperity forfoited by tho War. No man who owes his clection to these people will be nble to resist their de- mands, Nomanin full sympathy with the notion that wo aro nll loyal' now, nnd that o coercive war wns clearly uncon- stitutional, will bo inclined to resist them. Not only will tho payment for property taken and used, or dostroyed, be demanded and conceded, but every project for subsidizing Southern schemes will bo re- ceived with open arms. Tost Scorr's South- crn Pacific schome will go through to ncor- tainty. Ilo will have the support of the “ Solid South " joined to the good-will of the Congressmen like Hoxiz whom he is running at the North. Onco through Con- gress, Lo can count absolutely upon Mr. TipeN's signature. Tinpex is Toa Scorr's Inwyer. He was the man who negotiated and consummated tho leaso of the Pittsburg & Fort Wayuno Railrond. Ho has reeeived too many fat fees and mode too much profit on stocks by the aid of Tox Scorr to desert him now. Indeed, it will a race Lotweon tho claimants and subsidy-schemers to soo which shall got most mouey out of the Gov- crument, HENDRICKS AND THE S80UTHERN CLAIMS, Gov, Ixxpnicks in his Chicago speech Inbored vigorously to break the force of tha damaging Democratio support of Southern claims by citing cortain specinl cases where clnims were urged on poculiar grounds, - One of these bills was to compensate Dr, Best, of Paducah, in Kontucky, for a building of his dostroyod by the Unlon soldiers in order to proventits being used by the Robel troops ny o protection in making an attack, This bill, bo snys, was introduced by Gen, Looan, and was passed by both Housos of Congress. Another case way to poy for certain build- ings belonging to the Enst Tonnesseo Uni- voraity, which were destroyed under like cir- cumstances. This bill was introduced by Benator Wisoy, of Massachusetts, A third case was to componsate tho ownors of cer- tain salt works in Kontucky for the destruc. tion of the property to prevent tho Itcbols obtaining salt therefrom. This bill was in- troduced by Senator Puarr, of Indiana, It does not follow that becauso a Senntor pro. posesn bill thaf he is theraby committed to it ; unless he votes forit, tho mero intro. duction of a bill earrics no implication of favoring it. Tho bill for the rolief of Dr, Besr was wrong in prineiple, and should never have beon passed ; L@ unless Gen. Loaan voted for it, which is not alleged, he i% mo moro responsible forit than is Gov. Hunonicks, All theso bills wero vetood by Prosident Gnaxt on the distinet ground that there was 10 procedent for such payment, and that to adopt it would open the door to like clahns amounting to mavy hundreds of millions of dollars, The case of the Teunessee Univer sity was regarded os outsido of all ordinary claims; that it was a publio charity, and bo. longed to non-combatants, and tho bill was passed over the President's veto, In the other cases the Presidont's veto arrested the bills, thongh Kentuoky was in no legal sensa within the temtory of the enemy, aud Lor pooplo, i the sys of tho law, stood upon the same ground in this respect ax tho people of Indiana or Dlnois. If Gen. GRaNT wns unable to wholly restrain a Republigan Con. gress in passing bills to poy speclally men. torious Southern claims to Unionists, what power will Mr. Tioex have over a Domo- cratio Congress in which three-fourtls of the Democratio members will directly represent tho claimants, and be themselves ex-soldiens of tho Confederacy and heartily in sympathy with tho ¢laimants ? Ar, Uexvmioxs sefors to Bonator Hows, of Wisconsin, ns reporting bills for the pay- ment of some of theso clnims, and with sup- porting them. This is nothing new of fon- ntor Howe; he ndopted that poliey soveral yenrs ngo, and Tne Cnioaco 'Tnibune then colled attention to his erroncous doctrines, nnd to his unwise soparntion from tho Ro- publican party on this subject. Tho Republican party is, with the excep- tion of Ilowe, n unit ngainat the payment of thioso clnims, and opposed to tolerating the demand for at lonst two thousand millions of dollnrs, The Demoeratio party nt tho Sonth is n unit for tho payment of these claims, and the Southern Democrats will constitute, necessarily, two-thirds of the Domocratic members of both Houses, and will have ab- woluto control of the Governmont, Ioro is tho essential differonco botween tho two porties. On no othor quostion are the two partics so dinmetrically opposad, aud, in cnse thio Demoeratio party obtain control, the al- lowanco of these claims must ba tho great party measurg,—tho great bond uniting the South solidly with the Demoeratio party. This viow of the question Mr. Hexprioks carofully ignored. ENOLAND'S INFLUENCE, Ono of tho most significant fentures of tho penco negotintions in tho Turko-Serviau | joolf affair is the remarkablo influence that En. gland has bad upon the other Powers in Eu- rope. It will be remembered that for somo vears past England has Lnd little influenco in European matters,—so hitle that the prophe- cy wns frequent sho would soon becomo a second or third rate power. -In the Franco- Georman war sho et no figuro at all, and yot slie had constantly incrensed in strength, and populalion, and prestige. At the outset of 3 the war botween Servia and Turkey, nlthough sho was directly intercsted Su the Enstern question, which was imperiled by the mon. aco of Russis, it was vory genorally antici. pated that sho would have little voice in the diplomatic direction of affairs, and that tho finnl sottlement would bo effected by tho triplo ollinnco of Germany, Austria, and Russin. On the other hand, it now oventu- ntes that England has played a very impor- tant, although not always a very consistent.| 3 or judicious, part in the negotintions, and that her warning to Turkey, that she would abandon hor to the tender mercy of Russin it sho Qid not accopt certain conditions, has Lind mora effect than the combinad counscls and thrents of Bisxanck, GORTECHAROPF, and AxDnassy, In discussing the secret of this very re. markable chnngo, the Anglo-American Times hLits upon n very probsble theory, namely, that the sottlement of all her disputes with tho United Statos hias lifted o hodvy woight from her and left her fred to spoak with more influenco and authority than she could do when ombarrassed with complications this side the water. The snpposed hostility of tho United States to England was cunningly urged by Russin and other Powers in the ad- justment of international questions. When, after the Crimenn war, differonces aroso be- tweon England and Russia, the lattercounted positively upon aid from tho United States, Whilo the Commission to adjust the Alabama claims was sitting in Washington, it is charged that the Russian Miniater, M. CATacAzy, wos ongaged in an ondeavor to nentralizo the worl and foment disgord. . The Ministers of both parties, however, have of lato sought to cultivato amicable relations with this country, andsinco the sottlement of tho Alnbama claims have mado visible progress. In this direc. tion it lns been inatorinlly aided by the chango in English sentiment upon class dis- tinctions in this: country caused by the abo- lition of slavery. The increaso of the Irish in the United States wns nnother cause of English jenlonsy, and Fenian raids and mani- festations, of littlo consequence in them- selves, but grossly magnified by the English, helped on theirritation. The people of that country, however, now sco that tho animosi- ty which they had supposed to oxist is rapid. 1y disappearing, and that Fonianism is only the chronic manifestation of a few hot-heads whoso bark is not dangerous. The sigus of this chango of relatious betweon the two countries are vigible in many direc- tions. Tho readiness with which England nccopted the invitation to tako part in the Centonuisl Exposition, the magnificont display mada by hor and colonies, far excoed- ing that of any other Power, the kindly and even fraternal articles which hnve appenred in tho London Z'mes snd otlier important .Englsh papers, the noticenblochange in the tono of mpeoches in Parlinment, tho large number of prominent English gentlomen who havo visited this country of late, the cordinl manner in which thoy have been received, from Huxrey to Tueren, nud the sigoificant fact tolograplhed yestorday (bat Mr, Grap- sToNE {8 about to take the trouble to defing 1is position towards this country during tho War of the Rebellion,—all these important changes indicato the growth of very friendly relations botween tho two countries, which cannot Lut gain England more authority and bolduess in dealing with the oxisting Eu. ropean complications, Wo publish this morning, for goneral in- formation, a table giving the majorities, by counties, for Koeunen (Democrat) and Oarrspy (Republican) for Governor in Tili- nois in 1872, Wao take the vote for Gov- ornor becauso it was severnl thousands greater than the vote for Presidont, and bo- cnuse the Greerey vote Qid not renlly ex- lubit the Demoeratio strength, Wo also give the majorities ut thoe State clection in 1874, when Powzry was the Ropublican can. didato sud EvTer was the joint candidate of the Democrats and Independonts, While Oorespy biad over 40,000 majority in 1872, Erres had over 30,000 majority in 1874, How far this unholy combination has been dissolved is ono of the problems to bo detor- mined by tho election next Tuesday, I'he wholo vote cast in the Stato in 1872 for Governor (including tho voto of 2,000 for thoe Bourbon Democratio candidate) was 417,043, whicl,, though some 9,000 granter than for President, was 4,49 leas than was polled for President in 1868, whon the total voto was 441,836, 'Thore hns not been o full voto polled in this State for at loast cight yenrs. ‘Loking tho population of Illinols in 1670, and moking a fair allowauco for in. crease duriug the six years that have iuter. vened, wo huve now a total population of 8,000,000, which, at the rate of one voter to fivosnd o half of the population, would give an aggregato of 650,000 voters in the ‘State, or 10 por cout less than in the State of Ohlo in October.

Burien, that Tiupen, befora the mausgement of the Union Pacifio Railrond Company and the Crodit Mobilier became identical, was acting ns an attorney from the fivst of both corporations, although thelr intercsts wore prima facie adverso, and that subsoquently ho steored tho Credit Mobilier through its crooked channols ; more than this, that un- der his eminent advico the Rirg got $24,000,- 000 in stock at 80 conta on tho dollar in rond- building, and thereby made $16,800,000, which in the end the Govornment will have to lose.

Are the poo- plo of tho United States roady to trust tho administration of this Government in the hands of the man who monipalated tho Crodit Mobilier? THE CO-OPERATIVE EXPEREAENT. The proccedings of tho annual Co-opera- tive Conference, recently held in Glasgow, have mado known somo very interesting facts about the progress of co-operation in Great Britain, whero alone it has fakon firm hold. Tho facts are far behind the claims and dreams of grant co-operative advocates like E. D, Greexmo, .but they are important enough to domand attention, The visions of thess mon that laborers can be made capi- tolists and capitalista Inborers, that tho in- torests of capitalists, Inborers, and consum- erscan bo made to harmonize complotely, and that the employers, as n distinot class, shall bo merged into the employed, have no 1ikelihood of fulfillment in the presont agoof thoworld. Thoy are visions, and, like visions, overleap time and space. The history of the attempts of workingmen to combine jn co- operativa manufactures has been substantinl- ly a history of failures. Much greator suc- cess has attonded the experimonts in com- bination for the purchase and distributiod of articles of consumption. This is called " dis- tributive co-operation, or co-operative con- sumption, The storos of the Rochdale pioneers and tho London civil sorvants are the most famous exsmples of co-operative consumption, Co-operation succoeds best, for somo reason or othor, in Great Britain, The British co-operative societics now have a capital aggrogating $20,000,000; they represont 400,000 families, or 2,000,000 individunls, and handle one-fourtoenth of oll the goods of tho kind they dealin thnt are consumed in Grent Britain, Goods aro furnished members at market prices, and the difference betweon tho roceipts nnd the costis distributed ns dividends. Ex- porionce shows that in this way the co-oper- ative stores dischargo tho doublo function of reducing tho cost of lving and increns- ing the aversgo amount of saviugs, aa abont ona-half of the dividends aro capitalized, 'fhe roport read to the Glasgow Congress stated that there wero in Gront Britain about 1,400 co-oporativo sociotica, Tho an- nunl purchases of two-thirds of them amounted to 70,000,000, an which there was A profit of $6,000,000, nearly all of which want into dividends, Forty so- clatios were added during 1874, and the total dividends were 10 per cont larger than in 1873, The Bucoossful distributing sociotios have devaloped o tendency to manufacture. Tho ndulteration of flour led ona of the'co. operativo socleties to bogin the manufacture of a puro article, and their succoss widenod tho nrea of co.operative production, The Manchester Wholesalo Sooiety is now making blankets, tea-biscults, and mon's shoey, and the total number of such soolotica in Grent Britain is seventy-oight, grouped into thir- teen flour-mills, forty-cight factorics, two newspapers, an Emigration Booloty, and sevoral mining and farining companies, By the side of theso have grown up thirty-seven Building Societies, through which working. men may purchase Lowmes of their own, Cautiously as it seems necessary to spenk of the co-oporntive movement, it is fair to sy that in this array of retail stores, of wholosale stoves like thoso at Manchestor and Glasgow, formed to supply tho retail atores, and of manufactories branching out of the stores, wo have the gorms of the entiro sys. tem so enthusiastically described by tho eu. logists of co-oporation, Manifostly, the union of & numbor, large or umall, of con- sumens In order to buy moro cheaply intro. duces uo now principle into the theory or practice of political economy.
