IMMIGRATION.
If assisted immigration could be carried out without blundering thers would be little cause for complaint, but, under the present blind and heedless modes of dumping down new inhabitants, there is bound to be dissatisfaction, nut only among members of labour unions, but among the very employer-farmers, for example, who pray for assisted immigration, says the "Tuapeks Times." It is time that colonial politicians and people woke up to the fact, upon whose existence we previously insisted—i.e., that it is very difficult to obtain supremely capable farm labourers and domestic servants in the British Islands. Assisted immi gration in most cases getb only the inferior article. The superior article is at a premium at Home, as here, and can get good wages without emigrating.
