We entertain that ii is fto.a tne farmers—the backbone of the country—th*t deliverance from the thraldom cf the everlasting an! harassing labour )e<?ipKtion of the present Government will come. If the Premier ia wis.? he will stay his hand while there is yet time ; though, indeed, it may even now be too late. For the feeling in the country districts is becomiug very pronounced, and the sop of a few railway concessions, etc, will not ba sufficient to allay it The farmers are beginning to bitterly resent the extent to which the Premiur has shaped his legislation to meet the view* of th* labour party in the great centres. We do not believe for a moment that he will be able to, capture the Farmers' Unions which are springing up all over the colony as a protest; against iimch 6f i what has been done and as a safeguard againet further evil.—Timaru Herald.
