THE LABOR QUESTION.
To (he. Editor.
Sir,—l suppose Mr Adam has, by this, had ample time.to witness the effects, good or bad, upon the working classes of Dunedin of his incessant labors at Home towards immigration, and he must certainly have perused numerous letters of late, which have appeared in your columns in connection with hiß return and the present overstocked state of the labor market here. Will he not, sir, take a hint, and either write a few words to your journal and vindicate himself from the aspersions .cast upon him, or can he not say anything for himself ? i have noticed that only one of your numerous correspondents is willing to act upon the defensive, viz., "Old Identity," and I presume that he, by his style, was here in those days " when gold could be picked up in the roads," as Mr Adam said in one of his lectures at Home. And now ,? 01d Identity" calls those who have been brought 16,000 miles from their homes a parcel of grumblers. I think, sir, we have just cause to grumble. Brose and stirabout at Home ! lam very happy to say that I have plenty of it here in lieu of animal food.—l am, &0., Out of Work. Dunedin, August 21.
