THE IMMIGRATION BONDS. To the Editor of the Daily Southern Cross.
Sir,- Can you or any of your readers oblige me by giving gome information as to immigration bonds ? I should like to know the reason why our present Government comes down upon the poor bondholders as they are now doing. If it is because their salaries are not paid, I for one would willingly subscribe my mite towards the liquidation of their salaries. I consider, if the Government had made their demands on the immigrants in good times there would not . have been the necessity for calling on the bondholders at the present time. Ido not doubt hut that our Provincial Government is hard up just now, but T do not see the reason why many a poor man should be oppressed in such straitened times Had the Government not broken faith with the immigrants (which I am sorry to e»y tbey ha»e), this occurrence never would have happened. Now the majority of immigrants have left the country, they comedown on the 1 bondholders. An honest man has no business to lire in Ne-v Zealand, if he wishes to pay twenty ■hillings in the pound.— l subscribe myself, X j A Bondholder and Suctibeb.
