Very probably it had a percentage of truth in it, but no more. Worthlessidlers, in no very urgent distress, must from the nature of things, havegot employed upon works so extensive, but the officials were too fond offounding general conclusions on isolated, or at least on an insufficientnumber of cases. The opposition to task work arose from more than onecause. Lazy unprincipled people were opposed to it, because they werelazy and unprincipled; a far larger class were opposed to it, because itw...as no secret that the works were carried on not for sake of theirutility, but to keep the people from being idle. Had this class beenemployed upon really useful works, such as reclaiming land, tilling thesoil, draining, subsoiling, or railroad-making, they would, no doubt, have had more heart for their daily labour. There is a naturalrepugnance in the mind of a man to apply himself in earnest to what hehas been told is useless, --to what he sees and feels to be useless. If alabourer were hired, and even given good wages, for casting chaffagainst the wind, I make bold to say, he would soon resign hisemployment, from sheer inability to work at anything so much opposed tohis common sense.
