But if it is not the baker , then it i * tbe miller ,, ajjdL oow our prejudices are excited against waother cla ^ d of our brethren , employed in a mpst useful occupation ^ and one in f&ct which had a great effect in . the destruction of slavery . It was formerly thte business of the lowest slaves to grhjd the corn for the use of the family ^
and very hard labour it was ; so much so that the greatest threat against a higher slave for negligence in his duty was that of sending him to the mills * Windmills were invented , and the ] a « bour of a hundred slaves was pevformedl by machinery , and the inspection of a single man . Since that we have had
water mills , and mills moved by steam , yel in spite of this experience there have been attempts to bring us back to the labour of former times , and tf » introduce again the handmill amongst us . Futile attempt ! Wherever the handmill appears ^ a few days trial will
settle the question- , for the poor , who are to employ themselves with if free of ex pence , will soon find that the labour and time taken up in gnndi&gr imperfectly far outweighs the pricey demanded by the miller , for retu rniirg to them a much better article . i !* l » e
miller like the baker has a right to & fair profit for his labour and skillj arid capital employed : and , 4 > esitfesj he depends on the supply of wa , ter or on the wiud for the exercise of > his trades and it may happen , that at the e&d of 9 . most plentiful harvest , a Itfrge' diattrict may for some time have no supply from their mills from a drought &nd continuance of calm weather . It is the
interest of the miUlcr to grind as tfaaf as he can , and any one m < y see that , when there is wind , be is not idle . It is easy to excite clamour ,, and each class may find fault with il » neighbour : but surely equal justice * -is required , and if one class is ihna abused , let the others take , their share also in this mutual contumely . The
fact is , that all men , eugaged 111 lab « # ur , in trade , in any excha . iga wnatever * naturally wisb to get as tfooii a price as they can for their commodity . The landholder lets his land a * he
