ABSTRACT

The great landowners, the large farmers, have brought into being the day workers they cannot do without. The property of the former is worth nothing without the latter; the latter are of no use to any other class of society, if they are not to the former. The large estate holders, the large farmers, make perhaps no real profits from the day workers, who exist only for them, and who ought to be paid only by thpm alone, being partly maintained by the parish; because that same parish of which they are members in turn, supports other day workers, for whom the landlords never ought to be responsible, those of the arts and crafts. Welfare for the poor in agriculture should be completely independent from that for the poor in industry and trades.
