Here is the way Ingersoll puts it “ Here is a shoe shop. One man in the shop is always busy through the day—always industrious. In the evening he goes courting some nice girl. There are five other men in the shop that don’t do any such thing. They spend half the working evenings in dissipation. The first young man by-and-by cuts out these others and gets a -boot and shoe store of his own Then he marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out riding of an evening. The five labourers, his former companions, who see him indulging in this luxury, retire to the neighbouring saloon and pass resolutions that there is an eternal struggle between labour and capital.”
