THE TURN OF THE TIDE.
SECOND EDITION
The emigration of labourers, tradesmen, and others who depend on their daily earnings for a living (says Wednesday’s “New Zealand Times”) is assuming very serious proportions. Nearly every collier that leaves for Newcastle lakes away from five to tea,while most of the steamers, bound for other Australian ports, cany even more. (Now we learn that almost every berth of the s.s. Hero having been secured, over forty having been taken up in Wellington. Mr lie id, the chief of the shipping departmeutof Messrs Turnbull and Co.’s oflice, informs us that should the applications be as numerous to-day as they were yesterday he shall be compelled to close the list at noon. These men do not belong to the class of unemployed whurefuse work when it is offered them, for the}' arc in a position to pay their own passage money, arc respectably dressed, and look as if" they arc able and willing to work. The list includes tailors, blacksmiths, laborers, ami even a lishermaii, who takes his boat with him. The matter is too serious to be lightly treated.
