TO TIIK KUITOU. v^n:, — [n jour issue of 27th a correspon dent argues about the scarcity of labour. "Well 'c duuno' where 'c are" — What about the wet weather ? I havo had work in Stratford at getting stone from the river and there w.is no better rate than 8s per day, no oilers of 9s per day as your correspondent says. Ho says there was a lack of tenders. Just so. Whoever do you think would take a contract and lose for not finishing in specified time ? Tako for instance Murphy and Rooncy below Stratford,! have hem there with others and all aro full handed and some finished, It would be better to have men to tako up our laud if thej havo means, but not import labourers Govi rnment is justified in refusing to aid immigration. Some work is too Hub; for outsiders to come hero after. — F am, t'u:..
