the unwashed masses

refers to the common people, blue collar workers and the struggling classes, happy in family and friendships if not in terms of wealth

Donald shuned a job with his father's bank, preferring instead to work at the mill, shoulder to shoulder with the unwashed masses, many of whom invited him to their homes for dinner or to share stories over a bucket and jug at lunchtime.
