Time-Work versus Piece-Work!
(By John Bull, Employer of Labour.)
Payment of Members? Well, well, I don't mind,
If Members who're worthy of payment I find.
But then all this quarrelsome cackle must cease—
If my M.P.'s I pay—like my Smiths—by the piece,
I may yet get good work; but 'twere folly, nay, crime,
To pay seven hundred praters for wasting my time!
A Man who may be said to "Know the Ropes."—M. Blondin.
