As he has nothing else to do, he works up a rumpus, stirs up trouble and calls the laborers out on a strike. And in a strike everybody loses but the public is the heaviest loser, the laborer is also a heavy loser, but the wage of the agitator goes on forever.

dangerous disadvantage; and so does a husband, if he only knew it. The "tie that binds" hearts in love is quite as much helpful work for each other as it is the marriage vow. Indeed, the vow itself implies lifelong service of each for the other. When wife is given a large weekly allowance for pleasure and indulgence, and relieved of all effort, she is robbed of one of the vital things in enduring love. More than that, she is subject, to temptations her husband should protect her from.
