HITTING THE WEAK MAN.
The unfortunate part of the strike in New Zealand at the present time is that It is most seriously affecting the small fanner and the struggling dairyman. The man with the broadacres is suffering very little, if any, injury. The holding-up of the butter and cheese products would have been attended with irreparable loss had not the sheep-breeders and woolgrowers come to the rescue with men and horses. The combination of large and small holdeivs for the preservation of the common weal has been one of the finest examples of patriotism ever manifested in a self-governing dominion. It would have been a national calamity had the hair-brained revolutionaries been permitted to ruin the dairy-farmer, and to have • averted this disaster is a performance for which the settlers of the country will command the admiration of every section of the peace-loving community The remarkable demonstration of unanimity that lias been witnessed during the last few weeks will go,
down in. history as one of the brightest achievements in the annals of British colonisation, a magnificent tribute to tho humanitarianism and the patriotism of a virile people.
