THE EMIGRATION QUESTION. WORKING CLASSES IN THE COLONIES. London, January 22.
Earl Derby, in the c ouise of a speech at a meeting of the Self- Help Emigration Society, remarked upon the absolute independence of the working classes in the colonies. Working-men, he said, were master of the situation, and their position, he assumed, was attributable to the high rate of wages they received, which had the effect of excluding competitors, and in order to balance the position as between capital and labour, he advocated a policy of gradual immigration to that part of the colonies interested in the self-aid system.
