To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The law was laid down, and acted on very generally, that no man should obtain either gratuitous relief or public employ- ment until he should be first completely pauper- ised. If he had seed corn he should consume it, if he had a cow he should sell it — and not a few of them said, as they are still saying, " if he had land he should give it up ; " other- wise he could have no title to relief. This was to say, they chose rather to maintain wholly for ever after the first few months, than 4^ THE ...WRITINGS OF to maintain partially for those few months ; rather to give permanent support than tempo- rary aid ; rather to create a pauper than to assist a struggling worker. This was to declare in favour of pauperism, and to vote for another famine. I am putting no blame on the parties to this proceeding. The reasons for it were plausible in appearance. I am merely stating a fact, and charging nothing more than mistake.
*' We must guard against the evils," said the official authorities, '*' of indiscriminate relief, and avoid the risk of pauperising the feelings of the peasantry, encouraging the spirit of dependence, and training them to the trade of beggars." To me it seems it would have been safer to incur the risk of pauperising t/ieir feelings than the certainty of pauperising their means ; and better even to take away the will to be independent than to take away the power, " When there are such numbers utterly destitute," said the Relief committee, " why should we give a man relief who has a barrel of oats in his possession } It would be wasting silver and cheating the poor" What was it to them that the barrel of oats, if kept for seed, would have produced la barrels at harvest?
