o the Editor of the Herald:
Mr. Henry Fawcett, of Eng-
and, gives us some very interest-
i’ig statistical information in an
elaborate essay published in the
Fort-nightly Review, for March
of this year, bearing directly upon
this subject. From this paper,
\ye are informed that the co-opera
tive feature was first introduced
in England by tho establishment
at Roch: ale, of a co-operative
store. This was first done, with
but a limited capital. The prin
cipal feature in this plan was, that
the capital invested, should be
owned by, and the profits distrib
uted among the customers, and not
among the employees—the num
ber of shares being limited, and
the value of each share placed at
a low rate. This first experiment
was inaugurated in 1814, and so
great has been its success, that
the Society, on the 1st of January,
b s " L had a cash capital of ticenty-
iy thousand pounds sterling, in
vested iu not only one, hut several
stores, and was doing a business
of one million of dollars, or £250,-
000 annually. The great success
(»! the Rochdale society, led to
the establishment of other socie
ties in England, not only in the
huger towns, but in the agricultu
ral villages. Each customer,
when lie made a purchase, received
a ticket, or ’ tallies’as Mr. Fawcett
calls it, and at the end of each
quarter (three months) ho re
ceives the proportionate amount
►.of the net profits to which his
capital invested and his 'purchase’
entitled him. The Rochdale so
ciety soon found that their capi
tal had increased beyond the wants
ef their retail stores, and in 1818.
established a 'wholesale society*
at Manchester. This wholesale
society employed a capital of near
live hundred thousand dollars, and
supplied the retail stores of the
society iu the various parts of the
kingdom. It is now (1874) a
feat central depot, with wholesale
ranches at London, Birmingham,
Bristol, Cardill’.and Cambridge.
Tin- bu-i"css of the Society for the
year bsT.i, i-- reported at $10,<100.-
ono. or £2,000.000 sterling, and
represents an increase of from
i thirty to ji/iy per ant. in each
quaiter, over that of the present
quarter. Mr. Fawcett adds : 'So
far as poosible. the. Society buys
from the producer through its own
agents, and is now preparing to
manufacture its own goods.’
The co-operative principle has
also been applied to the production
"f wealth. The first experiment
being tried at Roelulale, and sub
sequently at Paris. The tir~t
charge made upon the profit:'., was
pro rata among the stockholders.
A similar society was formed
among the piano forte makers in
Paris, in 1848. The original cap
ital of this Co-operative society,
was only forty-eight pounds, (two
hundred and forty-eight dollars.)
The Society now owns an immense
free-hold factory, with an annual
business of over fifty thousand
pounds. The same principle has
been applied to banking. In
Germany, it has obtained a re
markable development since its
inauguration in 1851, by M.
Schultze Delitzsch. The object
bad in view and yet maintained,
was to give the laborer and the
producer direct access to the cap
ital necessary for his pursuit
through ihe agency of self-help.
The society established its own
credit and becam the hanker of its | to lurk in
membership. Each society is com-! rested the
posed of bona fide working men,
Only an Outcast.
A TOUCHING TALE OF DEATH.
A combination of circumstances
led me to become a frequent pas
senger in the summer of 18—, on
a steamboat leaving the wharves
of New York, whose destination
was Boston. On one of these oc
casions, just liefore the boat star
ted, a pretty girl of perhaps sev
enteen or eighteen stepped aboard,
inquired for the steward and se
cured a state-room, saving she
was going through to Boston.
Iler manner was easy and self-
possessed ; yet a certain audacious
sauciuess iu her
eves, the jaunty way
wore her Turkish hat, her inde
pendent air, and a nameless sug
gestion of mischief which appeared
every movement, nr-
obsorvev’s attention;
and seemed to indicate that she
sion could not wholly deprive
it of a certain jaunty grace which
became it well. It was only a
momentary glimpse which we had
of her, for she disappeared just as
the first boat touched water. I
think I never saw sadder men
than those rough sailors, when
they pulled the heavy yawl along
side and replied to an hundred si
multaneous interrogatories: f Wc
found no traces of her at all.’
And those gentle ladies, who
shrank, with such a version from
her half an hour before, had many
a tender utterance now, and could
not voice their pity when they
