The Wages Question.
The Wairarapa Daily Times says : — It the Ministry win the general election every employer of labour in New Zealand will cut down the sum he is now spending in wages and if the Ministry are defeated every employer in the land will increase the sum which he is now spending in wages. This follows, not from political prejudice, but from the necessities of business. No employer likes to cut down wages, because by doing so he contracts the scope and extent of his business. For six years past they have been drawing in their horns to protect themselves, and ifc would be quite a relief to them to bo able to launch out a little once more, bnt to do this, .commercial confidence must be restored iv Now Zealand, and nothing will restore this but a, distinct vote of the people in favour of law aud order, such as tbc one which has already been given ia England and America.
