Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Time and Tide: Twenty-Five Letters to a Working Man of Sunderland on the Laws of Work The following letters were written to Mr. Thomas Dixon, a working cork-cutter of Sunderland, during the agitation for reform in the spring of the present year. They contain, in the plainest terms I could use, the substance of what I then desired to say to our English workmen, which was briefly this: "The reform you desire may give you more influence in Parliament; but your influence there will of course be useless to you, - perhaps worse than useless, - until you have wisely made up your minds as to what you wish Parliament to do for you; and when you have made up your minds about that, you will find, not only that you can do it for yourselves, without the intervention of Parliament; but that eventually nobody but yourselves can do it. And to help you, as far as one of your old friends may, in so making up your minds, such and such things are what it seems to me you should ask for, and, moreover, strive for, with your heart and might." The letters now published relate only to one division of the laws which I desired to recommend to the consideration of our operatives, - those, namely, bearing upon honesty of work, and honesty of exchange.
