He has no other course left him, then, but a division of the property.

But if the property is divided, all conditions will be equal--there will be no more large capitalists or large proprietors.
Consequently, when M.Ch.

Comte--following out his hypothesis--shows us his capitalist acquiring one after another the products of his employees' labor, he sinks deeper and deeper into the mire; and, as his argument does not change, our reply of course remains the same.
"Other laborers are employed in building: some quarry the stone, others transport it, others cut it, and still others put it in place.

Each of them adds a certain value to the material which passes through his hands; and this value, the product of his labor, is his property.

He sells it, as fast as he creates it, to the proprietor of the building, who pays him for it in food and wages." _Divide et impera_--divide, and you shall command; divide, and you shall grow rich; divide, and you shall deceive men, you shall daze their minds, you shall mock at justice! Separate laborers from each other, perhaps each one's daily wage exceeds the value of each individual's product; but that is not the question under consideration.
