THE DAILY NEWS. C O-OPKKATIU.V IV KNGLANIJ. The well-posted London correspondent of the Montreal Herald makes some seemingly well-considered remarks upon the history and probable future of the co-operative movement in England, which will be read with interest by those concerned in our own co-operative societies. He says : I now propose to draw attention to the pro? gress of the "cooperative" mania, which has tor some time past been rampant in London. To trace the history of the movement, we sholl have to go back to the year 1844 when twenty eight Rochdale operatives put together ?1 apiece, and, under the name of the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers, started an experimental co-operative store, to supply themselves and their friends with common necessaries. Since then the progress of the affair has been ex? tremely rapid, oaring to the very energetic steps taken bv'tbti founders to insure success, . until at length, in 1867, the number of mem? bers increased to uowards of six thousand, while the profits were reckoned at over ?10,000. The following table shows the number of mem? bers, the amount of funds, business done, and net profits during the years stated : Tear. Members. Fund*. Business. Profits.

Besides these there are tailoring, shoemaking and clog making societies, together with a corn mil!, all conducted on the co-operative principle, the whole of which have proved successful. On tho other hand, the co-operative cotton manufac? turing society, in connection with tho abovo, bas, during the last three years, resulted in a loss of upwards of ?13 000. This loss, how? ever, has rea rited apparently from the great fluctuation in the value of cotton and the grea xisk attaching to speculations ot this kind dort in g the last few years; nevertheless, it is stated that tbe concern is now being worked at a profit, lt has been established thirteen years, and commenced operations with ninety-five looms, bnt now possesses two mills containing fifty thousand spindles, and a new loom-shea with, eight hundred and seventy looms, fhe following statistics of this society may prove interesting : Tear. Funds. Business. Profits. Loss. 1857..?4,851 ?12.081 ?888 1860. 66,857 23,081 3.643 1863.. 82,869 86,437 3.688 1864.103,534 122,276 7,201 1865..107,144 98,899 .... ?6,256 1866..110,866 152.893 .... 1,636 1867..118,990 142,796 .... 5,242 This, then, is the parent and model of all other co-operative societies, the pioneer of the system, and the one which has, without doubt, met with the greatest success. The failure o? the Cotton Manufacturing Society will be well understood when we consider the alarming crisis through which the cotton trade has passed of late years, and the paralysis which the trade suffered in consequence or the civil war in America. We are assured, however, that it is now being carried on at a profit, and its Kmeters sanguinely look forward to bettor es. There are many societies in the north of England affiliated to the above, on the his 1 tory or which it wiU not be convenient to enter bey OD d this passing mention. To torn to tho metropolis, the Civil Servies Supply Association is the society most worthy of notico as being the largest and best conduct? ed of the many institutions of the kind now flourishing. Originally designed for the mem? bers of the civil service, it has at length b en thrown open to the general public on payment of a small entrance fee. Nearly every article that may be required is here supplied at a lit? tle above cost price, and the profits are, at stated intervals, distributed among the share? holders. There are many other hke institu? tions in London, bat I fear that statistics of societies would prove of little service to yon. From a housewife's point of view co-opera? tion is an useful instruction, lt encourages thrift, it saves money, but it docs not offer the I same advantages and conveniences of the old j system. It has succeeded simply because it has adopted a "ready-money" system, and by so doing has been enabled to undersell the re? gular tradespeople, who are compelled to arork on credit. It is certain that of late-through the monetary panic of 1866-many incomes bave been inconveniently curtailed, and the possessors of such wer* compell? ed to look about them in order to keep their expenditures within their means. lt was this circumstance that gave the ce-operativo societies the first great start. On the return of more prosperous times I doubt moah if they will thrive so well. Another reason of their success is the fact that, for the most part, they do not undertake to deliver the goods sold at the houses of their customers; now wa know well that one great item of ex? penditure io a large shop is the uumber of por? ters, horses and carts, etc., required for such a Sart ose. Thu delivery of their purchases by ie tradesmen is a convenience to the public, and for tbat convenience they most be prepar? ed to p?7 * believe that the co-operative so? cieties will have ii ^8Ume t^8,Pla?,bef?fre long as, depend upon it, generauj ??e War ?'* flee will not always be content to carry home bis groceries under bis own arm. I am not dispiraging the movement in any way. For a T-erlnin class, for thrifty people willing to be? come their OWJ porters, and run their own er? rands, the societies are a great uoOn; but ? oartoinly froli?ve tijej have assumed propor? tions which a few years will OQrtaii greatly. A. CHEES?ox Wusses-How EXPERIENCE CONQUERS PREJUDICE.-Mr. George Thrall, of Roc aeater, in a resent letter to Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Company, writes : '"Ono of your machines has been used in my family for -the past eighteen months, lt has given per? fect satisfaction, and I consider it tue Dost sewing machine for family use. I the more cheerfully bear my testimony in its favor be? cause I was al first greatly prejudiced against it." Communal. The Charleston Cotton Kurket.

TION 1 PAIN CURER IN AN INSTANT! In 1817 the great grand principle of stopping the most excruciating pain in an instant, without em? ploying such dangerous agents as Chloroform, Opium, Morphine, Acontine, Ether, A-c, was first made known in RADWAY'S READY RELIEF. This remedy accomplished this wonderful and de Ughtful desideratum in all cases of external and In? ternal pain. In an instant it afforded relief, the moment it waa applied to the parts ot the body where inflammation or pain existed-It at once re? lieved the patient of thc most violent and excruciat? ing pangs and throbs ol' pam, and imparted the de? lightful sensation of ease and comfort. Even' kind of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neu? ralgia. Toothacho. Poins in the Chest, Sido, Lungs. Stomach. Bowels, Kidneys, Spine, LCRH, Arms, Feot, oue application was sufficient to kill aud exlerainatc thc pain. Taken internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful would cure, and will cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever aud Ague, Chills and Fever. Bilious colic, Inflam? mation of the Bowels, Cramps, spasms, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and every pain that mav exist in tho in? side of mau. woman or child: this was RAD WAY'.-? BEADY RELIEF of 1847, and it is RADWA?'3 RE? LIEF, greatly improved, in 18G8. Wo then started it in its mission of relieving the infirm, pain-stncken, sick, distressed and crippled al all nations throughout tho world, and now to-day it is used, patronized and rovercd as a household necessity, in the paine s of Sultans, Emperors, Kain os, Kings, High Priests, Nobles, as well us in the cottages of tho laboring classes of every nation >n thc face cf thc earth.

Whon seized, the pam was so piercing, cutting and excruciating, that every breath drawn was like a red hr t knife cutting my lung. Bo? ing absent 1. om home, I sent out for three bottles or RADWAY'S RELIEF, applied the entire lot to my lung?, bock, shoulders, ?c., aud in a lew moments got up couuter-irritation. .Hospirations were easy, and, as thc skin became re J .tone J, all pain ceased. In halt au hour I was tree from pain, und all signs ol' Congestion, Ind rumUion, Ac, gone. This ls an important cure. It is well that every one should know how to usc this remedy in severe attacks. Ihe same rule holds good ;n cates ot' Inflammation of the Loins, Bowels, Kidneys and Stomach. Apply the RELIi F irce.y; soak tho skin with it.
