Opis

Excerpt from The Improvement of Agriculture, and the Elevation in the Social Scale, of Both Husbandman and Operative It is a fallacy to suppose that labor saving machinerywor any mul tiplication of it - nean ever diminish the means of living. - 'i'he oper ation of labour saving machines and contrivances is directly and indirectly to encrease labour. This, to the uninformed, is a seeming paradox, - but it has been proved truthful, by the evidence of expe~ ricuce, and without a single exception - it is the unviarying law of labour that it moves forwards on one harmonious plan - Every legiv timate development, or inventive production in one direction, favours a consecutive or reciprocal development in another. - The annals of the arts are eloquent cd conclusive on this head-willie inconve niences caused by the introduction of any great mechanical invention in depriving a section of the population ofemployment, is but local and partial in its Operation, - but its benefits are cosmopolitain and per. Manent.-lt creates demands only to satisfy them. - 1t is not too much to say, of such a benefactor ofhis species, that he is indeed created in the image of his maker. But your fashionable idler - your dainty dangling millionnaire would lecir down on such a nondescript - and perhaps be inclined to ask him, as a certain king did a certain tnightly inventive genius at the moment of his triumph, And pray What do you sell sir 3 Boulton replied. I sell, sire, What kings are all fond oil - power. Such a reply would I over.;helm all empty pretention of ignorance With merited confusion - But though this be true - the me chanic must take care lest he fall into a similar error and des pise What is truly estimable merely because his opportunities have never enabled him to perceive its excellence - Prejudice is un fortunately a cosmopolitain and perennial weed, and it should be the especial care and study of every liberal and upright mind to do its best to ensure its perfect extirpation - And nothing can operate more efficiently towards the attainment of this great social triumph than the frequent occurrence of such fraternal national meetings as the pre~ sent - teaching, as they do, and impressing upon all their mutual dependence and giving all Who are worthy of such a distinction the Opportunity of participating in such a glorious ovation of industrial excellence - such a coronation of the triumphs of labour.
