In Mr. Gaims' logical letter, which appears in' another column, he brings to notice some original, and at'the same time intelligible, ideas with regaid to 'solving the labour problem. \" , Undoubtedly it is the 'duty of \"a government to' guide and protect people iu the way they should go, and, of course, governing powers can do much in this direction, but, they cannot do all! We agree with our correspondent that, the Natal Act is not likely to have the desired effect 01 suppressing an excessive supply of Asiatic labourV other measures ' must be found \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD even if they are somewhat experimental \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and the proposition to increase1 the wages of Asiatics on the-lines suggested by Mr: Gairns, we think, is well worthy of the consideration of politicians and statesmen. If no strong argument can be opposed to the policy; no doubt the government, wouldy-with the consent of the electorate, adopt it and give it a fair trial. Whether the majority of white labouiers would consent or not it is ^rather difficult to say.' It is well kuown that many hard working men are opposed to ai^ interference whatever on the part of governments with regard to the wages for which they are prepared to work; and, there are others who are satisfied with enough to keep them alive and able to work until they can work 110 more; and, there are still some blessed men, who, arc fanatical workers, and strive for more than money \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to whom Work aud Worship are synonymous terms.

Sir, _ - During the tin moil occasioned by the influx of Asiatics, and the subsequent seeking after a reasonable solution ol the problem, both by the Dominion and by the Provincial Houses oi Parliament; two things vveie bon.e in upou my mind :\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD One is - Aie governments elected by the people to look arier the people's interests, and to guard them from airy causes, whatsoever, which would woik out the degradation of the people they represent ? -then, to my mind, il that is so, the permanent solution of the difficulty is not iai to seek. A fan wage, and reasonable comfort in life, is the best way to raise any people to a higher standard of life, both mentally, morally and physically; aird, lhe darrgeis of lhe Asiatic invasion lie, not so much in rheir numbers, as, in their ability to lower the wai>e, thereby 1 educing the coinfoits ot life to a minimum, or, lather, wiping them out altogether \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD f4-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*-! \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\">-9-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-4>-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-fr<$0$\">'0 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD<\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*>\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD9\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD3' Joh Printing and (WonaBBaereiai Work. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs*rd&9 Posters \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnd H&and IBsHs <* j* Executed Cheaply, Promptly and Satisfactorily.

C. ? If that is so, again I say the best way to look after this class Is to exclude the .Asiatic by the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD--higher-wage clause. - .The exploiters of labour In B. C. should bear in mind, that the white labourers are also the consuming class, to whom, the manufacturers expect to sell the finished article; the Asiatic, as a rule gels his supply of the necessities of life from whichever country hebelongsjlliere- fore, bypassing a higher wage clause the government would save this class of capitalist who would like to flood the country with this cheap labour from committing industrial suicide. So anyway yon look at lhe matter, there seems only one course to pursue - To make it compulsary for employers to pay any wage, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD whereby Asiatic labour would be rendered unprofitable to these, otherwise .selfish exploiters. l Your9 etc. Charles Gairus.
