If a trader demands six pigs from a native for a breechclout, and the native says bo will be ruined if be gives so much, the trader makes him do without the breechclout, and sails away to another island where pigs are cheaper and breechclonts dearer. And this is bona fide trade. But if the worker demands for his labour the highest terras possible, be is treated as a disturbing element, and acwised of fomenting industrial unrest. Such is the consistency, of employers . and the r barrackerfj. —Dunedin Liberal. ...
“ tVe call a spade a spade ; we truckle to no individual or party ; and whilst endeavouring to live harmoniously with all men, we have not forgotten that it behoves us that when there is a wrong which needs fighting, to be up and doing. Our duties are multifarious, but if we took upon ourselves to run out and inquire as to the truthfulness of statements made by anonymous writers, w jll, a 3 mrnalist’s life might be a hippy one.—Winton Record, replying to criticism of an anomymous letter.
