The stationary is dull the declining melancholy. The liberal reward of labour as it encourages the propagation so it increases the industry of the common people. The wages of labour are the encouragement of industry which like every other human quality improves in proportion to the encouragement it receives. A plentiful subsistence increases the bodily strength of the labourer and the comfortable hope of bettering his condition and of ending his days perhaps in ease and plenty animates him to exert that strength to the utmost. Where wages are high accordingly we shall always find the workmen more active diligent and expeditious than where they are low in England for example than in Scotland in the neighbourhood of great towns than in remote country places. Some workmen indeed when they can earn in four days what will maintain them through the week will be idle the other three. This however is by no means the case with the greater part.
