THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving all middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operat-.ve Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25 000 000. This success is owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been left to Australia to apply to gr.ndprin.pl. to IRnI(iATIQ7S .
