STUDYING AT SHANNON.

Sir, —Your correspondent "W.M..F. ,, is An funny as "a 'bob-tailed bull lashing round in fly-time.' . In Friday night's issue he adds to the heap or offensive rubbish lie ha.s been, steadily mccuniulabiug in your columns for some time amt shows himself utterly devoid of the first essentials of controversy: viz., knowledge of his subject aaicl a possession of the logical faculty. However, Sir, "vV.M.i ,, ." two year-s in Shannon studying the ways oi those whose "obsession wae, and still is, to got control of the means of production, distribution and exchange." >'oor "W.ii.F." ; fancy spendng two veers in Shannon studying (I); but fancy anyone (not a lunatic) going to a place like Shannon to study that type. My impression that class is to be found principally in the larger centres of population. The shipowners, importers, merchants' associations, bankers, etc. Most will think tlioso are the. exploiters whoso "obsession was, and still is, to get control of production, di.stribHt'io'U and exchange.' . Poor "W.M.F." : trying to study their wave in Shannon 1 One must pity him, Sir, even while deprecating his possession or the "oight-bob-a-d,ay" capitalist mind, which thougiit to find them there.— I am, etc., COMMON" SKXSK.
