I would not dream of fancying myself in a position to give any trustworthy opinion on the subject of America and its people, unless I had thus mixed amongst all classes of the community during a lengthened stay in the country although, mind you, your "working-man's friend," and "trades' union delegate," and "Alliance" teetotaller, and "liberal" peer, and disestablishing Nonconformist tourists all of only three weeks' experience think they can take in, in one glance, the whole extent of a continent embracing some hundred million square miles, understanding the entire working of the "institutions," of the "great republic" through travelling on a railroad from New York to Chicago!
Saunderson rose to his feet, a man of different type, blunt of speech, rugged, the typical working-man's champion except for his voice, which was of unexpected tone and quality. "Mr. Weavel and the rest of you," he said, "I differ from Miller. That's lucky, because you can vote now not only for the man but the principle.
Let it be noted, to the working-man's credit, that such outrageous scenes become more and more rare as he is enlightened to the full consciousness of his worth. Such better tendencies are to be attributed to the just influence of an excellent tract on trades' union written by M. Agricole Perdignier, and published in 1841, Paris.
Had he been screening his sister at the poor working-man's expense? Cynthia's blood ran cold at the thought, for, in that case, what side was she to take? She could not abandon her father she might abandon Hubert; but, strange mystery of a woman's heart, she could not love him less. What she could do she knew not.
Nor are this particular working-man's hurt feelings soothed by reading in the newspapers that both the bull-pen and the deportation were pre-eminently just, legal, and constitutional. "To hell, then, with the Constitution!" says he, and another revolutionist has been made by the capitalist class.
His circumstances are better, and provisionally his wages are higher, but it is only a question of years or decades when his circumstances will be the same and his wages the same as the European working-man's. There is nothing in our conditions to prevent this."
They are just about the only dough we've got to work on, and for the last few years we've been systematically sowing the seeds of discontent by means of the press, metropolitan and local, abusing the rich, the trusts, harping on the segregation of capital by a favored few, to the unjust and illegal impoverishment of the many, painting gaudy pictures of what the working-man's lot will be when he gets his rights, emphasizing that in this State, of all others, man was intended to be happy and share equally in her abundance.
This afternoon there was the accustomed attention, and then after the closing hymn, the congregation streamed out into the late afternoon again to enjoy the quiet of the Sabbath, the working-man's blessed day of rest. The party from the old stone house walked homeward by a circuitous route, taking in the bank of the lake on their way.
Of course, when all this sad trouble was made far worse by that second affair the working-man's death, you know, I said to my husband that really one must do something, seeing that Dr. Ransford was so very, very obdurate and wouldn't speak. And as money is nothing at least as things go to me or to Mr. Folliot, I insisted that he should offer a thousand pounds reward to have the thing cleared up.
I cannot hold with those who think a working-man's daughter should not learn music. Their reasoning is illogical for being able to play the piano is in itself harmless, and may keep the girl out of mischief. Further, it gives a great deal of pleasure to her parents and friends, and often to herself as well. As for musical performances apart from opera, there are plenty of them.
