And now we may turn to the wages of dustmen, who are, it must be admitted, a most estimable class of men and most useful.
But, to make up to them for having to do such nasty work, they were not left black and dirty, as poor chimney-sweeps and dustmen are.
In these days of keen competition every one lies—every editor, publisher, undertaker, piano-tuner, dustman—they couldn't live if they didn't.
It is not good to know that a dustman makes more money than hundreds of hard-worked and well-educated men, for this is a grotesque state of things brought about by imbecile Government officials.
The dustman continues his work.
The dukes may be there, but not the dustmen.
We may be up against one law for the duke and another for the dustman.
