A BLOW AT SHODDY.
In* our cablegrams yesterday from Melbourne appeared tho following significant message : — " Owing to the quantity of shoddy woollen f;o.id3 into the market the Premier announces his intention to legislate to compel manufacturers to make goods pure, or if mixed to stamp the name 3of the ingredients on them." Seeing that the manufacture aud introduction of these shoddy goods is ono of the main causes of keeping down tho prices of our staple product wool, and of injuring tho legitimate trader and makorup of woollen goods, wo hope that tho Premier of this colony will follow the good example thus given, and strike a similar hard blow at what is a removable evil, the outgrowth of undue and unfair competition.
