Authors:
  • The working classes may be injuriously degraded and oppressed in three ways:
    1st - When they are neglected in infancy

    2nd - When they are overworked by their employer, and are thus rendered incompetent from ignorance to make a good use of high wages when they can procure them.

    3rd - When they are paid low wages for their labour.

    "Two Memorials on Behalf of the Working Classes". Book by Robert Owen, 1818.
