He Sees!

♦ SOCIALIST ACITATORS-WE'RE 'ORRID BUT CLEVER. THERE NOW! The special meeting of the Otorohanga branch of the N.Z. Farmers Union, held in the hall on the 9th inst., had (we read) the effect of reviving and stimulating Farmers' Union matters generally. Capt. Colbeck (we also read) made a disinterested and passionate appeal to the farmers to unite and be loyal to their union, in order to endeavor_ to stem and combat the wave of Socialism which was rising like a cloud and threatened to spread over this fair Dominion, unless checked by the men who should and could check it—the farmers —before it burst in torrents of dostruofew equals, and there is none I know who has worked moro honestly for Labor's cause. During the last 12 months Labor in Australia has lost a few men whom it will be difficult to

tion, spreading devastation and. ruin in its train. Capt. Colbeck assured his hearers that it was a -feet that clever Socialistic orators were stumping the Dominion from the Bluff to Pareingareinga propounding the propaganda of Socialism, with the object of getting all workers' unions to unite together in order to take hold of the reins of government. He thought the-publicity given to this Socialistic doctrine as preached by a certain section in that place in the present strike at Waihi should be an object lesson to all farmers who had to employ labor and who were gifted with the ordinary powers! of observation. Why do the employers try to. break up the industrial unions ? Is it because the industrial unions are not good for the workers? Think over this.— "Young Rebel's Literary Digest."
