Such was the condition of things when power-looms first began to be introduced, and while many were lamenting and complaining, we always said that things could not well be worse, and that there was one consolation — ^power- looms could not break the wool, nor seek work, nor scour, dye, fetch slubbing, warp lists, size and dry webs, seek gears or pay for them, "leek" pieces, and carry them ro the mill, tenter, " teem," or dew and cuttle them. We said we wished everything was done by power, or ma...chinery, from buying, selling, and designing, to book-keeping, so that the people had nothing to do but read, think, write, study nature, sketch or draw, travel, and recreate themselves by some rational and innocent amusement, for that even then the masses of the people at that time could hardly help getting a better share in the distribution of wealth, as machinery could not eat and drink all it produced, nor could a few capitalists. We still believe there is some truth in this, if not strictly so, and that jast in pro- p4irtiun as machinery is adopted, though during the transition people whose labour is suj^erseded will suffer more or le&s, ultimately will society be benefited, and get a larger share of needful things, though it may not be a proportionate share with the large capitali^ts who may be able i-apidly to heap up large fortunes.
