Show I 4I i j MACAULAY ON SUNDAY REST. Speaking on "Tho ten hours- bill," Lord Macaulay said: "We aro not poorer, but richer, becauso wo have, through many ages, rested from our labor ono day in seven. That day is not lost. While industry is suspended, while tho plow lies in tho furrow, whilo the exchango Is silent, while no smoke ascends from tho factory, a process is going on qulto as Important to the wealth of nations as any process proc-ess which is performed on moro busy days. Man, tho machine of machines ma-chines tho machine, compared with which all tho contrivances of tho Watts and Arkwrlghts aro worthless Is ropalrlng and winding up, so that ho returns to his labors on the Monday Mon-day with clearor lntollect, with livelier live-lier spirits, with renewed corporal vigor." |
