Starvation wages were the right wages, I was told.

And why?
Because the laborer was obliged to accept them! I determined, so far as one man could do it, that the laborer should _not_ be obliged to accept them.

I collected my own resources--I wrote to my friends--and I removed some of the poor fellows to parts of England where their work was better paid.

Such was the conduct which made the neighborhood too hot to hold me.

So let it be! I mean to go on.
