A PILL FOR THE GROWLER.

To the Editor. SIR, —Will you allow me to answer “R. Rolson’s” letter in your last t vening’s issue. Whether my remarks will have great value or not, or my suggestions be worth following, are problems which I take great pleasure in leaving entirely to R. Rolson for solution. To begin : there are several questions in R. Rol son’s letter which only a man’s life experience can eventually answer for him—not another man’s words. I will simply skip those. All occupations are cramped and hindered for want of men to do the work, not for want of work to do. When people tell B. Rolson the reverse, they speak that which is not true. If be desire to test this, he need only hunt up a first-class business manager, foreman of a shop, mechanic, or artist in any branch of industry’, and try to hire him; R. Rolson will find that he is already nired. He is sober, industrious, capable, and reliable, and is always in demand. He cannot get a day’s holiday except by courtesy of his employer, or his city, or the general Eublic. But if R. Rolson need idlers, shirkers, . alf-instructed, unambitious, and comfort-seek-ing mechanics or laborers, apply anywhere. There are plenty to be had at the dropping of a handkerchief. 11. Rolson, you will find em-ployment-try again. And by way of serious and well-meant encouragement, I wish to urge upon R. Rolson one more truth : that accepts able immigrants are so scarce that em ployers are seeking them constantly and with a vigilance that never grows heedless for a moment in this Province.—l am, &c., _ W. Harper, Dunedin, April 23.
