A bold and eloquent woman lays siege to the very foundations of society inflames and excites the public mind declaims with vehemence against every thing religious and orderly, and directs the whole of her movements to accomplish the election of a ticket next fall, under the title of the 'working-man's ticket. She avows that her object is a thorough and radical reform and change in every relation of life even the dearest and most sacred.
"I want to know a thing or two. Yours is a working-man's society, I think? Aye and I understand you've a system whereby such a man can put his bits of savings by in your hands?" "A capital system, too!" answered the secretary, seizing on a pamphlet and pushing it into his visitor's hand. "I don't believe there's better in England! If you read that "
Lester looked curiously at the bare trees, the brown dead grass, and the brown soil of the prairie turned up at this simple graveside. There was no distinction to this burial plot. It was commonplace and shabby, a working-man's resting-place, but so long as he wanted it, it was all right. He studied Bass's keen, lean face, wondering what sort of a career he was cutting out for himself.
The poverty of this city working-man's home was plain to see. It struck in upon Bertha with the greater power by reason of her six months of luxury. It was not a dirty home, but it was cluttered and hap-hazard. The old wooden chairs were worn with scouring, but littered with children's rags of clothing. The smell of boiling cabbage was in the air, for dinner-time was nigh.
The Working-man's Friend! 'Vote for Sweater and Temperance Reform. 'Vote for Sweater Free Trade and Cheap Food. or 'Vote for D'Encloseland: Tariff Reform and Plenty of Work! This beautiful idea 'Plenty of Work' appealed strongly to the Tory workmen.
The quality of the thing has nothing to do with the economic nature of the case; the author is, in the last analysis, merely a working-man, and is under the rule that governs the working-man's life. If he is sick or sad, and cannot work, if he is lazy or tipsy, and will not, then he earns nothing. He cannot delegate his business to a clerk or a manager; it will not go on while he is sleeping.
One made shoes, another tailored, another ground powder for the chemist's shop, another copied invoices and letters, another sliced turnips, another knitted socks. For each calling special hymns were composed and sung. If these hymns had been published in a volume we should have had a Working-man's Hymnbook. Thus every man and woman at Bethlehem-Nazareth had enlisted in the missionary army.
I really think "the Limits" would be as good a name as any. But, anyhow, something is born among us that is as strong as an infant Hercules: and it is part of my prejudices to want it christened. I advertise for godfathers and godmothers. A thing which does not exist and which is very much wanted is "A Working-Man's History of England."
It was the nearest approach to a working-man's paradise that Jimmie had ever encountered. There was really only one drawback the pestiferous draft-boards that never stopped snooping round. They were for ever hauling you up and threatening and questioning you putting you through the same scene over and over.
"Drive thy business, let not that drive thee." "Industry need not hope, and he that lives upon hope will die fasting." "He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor." "At the working-man's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter." "Never leave that till to-morrow, which you can do to-day."
