{178} Let us hear another competent judge:  “If we consider the example of the Irish in connection with the ceaseless toil of the cotton operative class, we shall wonder less at their terrible demoralisation.  Continuous exhausting toil, day after day, year after year, is not calculated to develop the intellectual and moral capabilities of the human being.  The wearisome routine of endless drudgery, in which the same mechanical process is ever repeated, is like the torture of Sisyphus; the burden of toil, like the rock, is ever falling back upon the worn-out drudge.  The mind attains neither knowledge nor the power of thought from the eternal employment of the same muscles.
