bargeman, the porter, the carman, and dock labourer; and if this feeling of duty should not provide the required number in each branch of work, the principle of compulsory distribution of labour will have to be arrived at by the casting of the lot. It may, however, be presumed that it will, universally, happen that the lot will have to be cast because there will be too great a number presenting themselves to take part in this kind of labour. The intellectual labour that is now performed by the commercial agents, factors, merchants, and their clerks, will also admit of an easy distribution; because every member of the new social community having enjoyed the best possible education, will be at once fitted for the work by which the distribution of produce is regulated. Moreover, the work of the office will be greatly simplified, as it will be relieved from the intricacy of complicated book-keeping and calculations of gains, profits, assets, and liabilities, debtor and creditor accounts, etc.; the mere entry of the quantity and quality of articles and goods received or distributed being all that will be required, without mentioning any price, profits, or losses. The distribution of produce is now performed by the following number of persons: Shipping on seas and rivers Porters, messengers, errand boys Butchers, meat salesmen Carmen, draymen Commercial clerks Drapers, mercers House proprietors Storage, meting, packing |
