LABOR.

Mr W. H. Whiting, Newlands, sends us ft letter in whih he says:—"Labour is capital. Every working man, the poorest in existence, is a capitalist. The capitalist of labour; and c'aiming as a right the gene.al capital of mankind, the soil, the air, the waters, and all that are in them. Now, what is the kind of capital that claims and exercises despotic preaminence a: the present day ? Money ! Whence did that money arise ? From the conjunction of labor, with the fundamental capital already alluded to, the earth ! Was that money raised by the exertions of one man ? Never! One man, by daring speculation and by the ruin of others, may have amassed to himself the wealth produced by the labour of many, but one mini work never raised a large amount I of money. Take even the stoEgest case of individual oreaiion of capital (so to speak) the aspect of wages slavery Such is the position of labor in relation to capital. What then are the meant to emancipate labour. They are to be found in the very nature of labour itself—co-operation. It is the very •oul of labor, and there is scarcely one branch of labor that can be performed ■ingle handed. The very tillers of the soil demand the aid ot other power, unless it is to be utterly crude, slow, and defecive. No one man can produce and manufacture for himself all th<*t he wants. Here is the beauty of labor. It is a fraternal thing; it draws man to man ; it teaches mutual re liance ; it diaws irresistibly towards co operation. m

The Anglo Japanese Treaty

Adelaide, Juno 17 The Rub-Committee of the Chamber of Commerce reported that under the Anglo-Japanese treaty it is certain the growth of manufactures in Japan will create a large demand for food supplies and raw mate ial. Owing to the nearness of Australia she should be the first to benefit. If Japan is going to manufacture at a cheaper rate than the Western world, her goods must be pur , chased by Australians in preference. A reciprocal trade will become a necessity of existence. It would be wise for Australia to place herself on the foot ing of the most favoured nation if she is to secure the utmost benefit. The clause most nearly affecting the practi cability of Australia joining the treaty is that of equal citizenship, as it concerns the laboring classes. The characteristics of the Japanese will force them to the front in spite of com petitors. Australia must either rise with her or/as an inevitable consequence of the labour doctrines believed by the masses to-day, would be overwhelmed. This, perhaps, the report says, may come sooner than some anticipate. The report has been forwarded to the Chambers of Commerce in the other colonies.

Accidental Poisoning at Waltonui

The adjourned inquest into the cause o' the death of Marj Lennox Stewart Jamieson was resumed on Monday at Mr Peter Stewart's lesidence, Seaview. Peter Stewart, sworn, deposed : I am the grandfather of ihe deceased child. Last saw her alive at about ten o'clock on the morn ing of the 7'h instant. She was then in her usual health and was playing with some puppies at the gate. I have some bluestene about the place used for steeping wheat. There was on the 7th and there is now seme blutbtone on a shelf in the cottage near where the child was playing. She could not have reached the shelf. I had sown some wheat last week. It was tteeped with blue stone. The bluestone was dissolved in a wooden bucket and the liquid poured over the wheat in a lorry in the yard. 1 fetched the blUf stone from the shed for this purp ise. I carried it out in the bucket. The blue stone was in a paper parcel in the cottage. The parcel wos not tied up with "string. I took the parcel down and emptied into the bucket what I required, and put the parcel back on the shelf. Ido not think any of the bluestone was spilt on the floor. I think I can safely say that none was so spilt. I shut the door of the cottage after me. Other members of the family go to t 1 c cottage from time to time. Ihe door is not kept locked but is kept shut to keep the cats ou , because the meat is kept there. The door is fastened with a catch whic.i deceased could not have reached. It is possible though not probable, that the door might have been It ft open for a little while on the 7h. I brought the bucket containing the bluestone into the kitchen. I poured the hot water into it from a kettle on the range. I believe I did s* at once, but could not swear 1 hat I might not have turned my back to the bucket for a moment. When I came into the kitchen the deceased was not there. She was not in the ki chen when I left it. The puppies were not about the kitchen at the time. The hot water entirely dissolved the bluestone and I took the liquid to the wheat on the lorry. 'J his was on Wedoesday, the sch. The wheat was covered up and left till after dinner, when I bjgged it up and tock n away to the field ami sowed it. If auy of the wheat had f lien on the ground in the yard the fowls wouH have picked it up Deceased's mother was confined at n>y house about thrau weeks ago. There ia no lotion of any poisonous character in the house. We have had no fi?a powder or insect powder on the premise?. To a juror : The child did not play on the lorry. The bucket in which the bluestono had been dissolved was put on some bags in the barn. Soren Christopher William Moller ; I am Sergeant of Police, stationed at Ashburton. I took the contents of deceased's stomach to Professor Bickerton at Christchurch on the 10th instant for analysis. This morning I received a reply ly telfgram (pnduced) from Inspector Broham, as follows :—••' Pro testor Kickerton found no trace of ppison in stomach'" J immmediately faw Dr green wood who said deal h had been caused by poison, probab!y sulphate of copper {hlue stone) which would produce the symptoms described by Mrs Stewart and leave no trace after the vomiting, I hive made very care? ful enquiries and cannot find that any poison had been used in or about the premises, excepting bluestone for wheat. After a consultation lasting about mi hour and a half the jury returned the'following verdio I:— That the deceased Mary Lennox Stewart Jamieson came to her death on the 7th day of June, 1895, by inflammation caused by some irritant poison, accidentally taken, but how or where procured, or what the poison was, there is no evidence to show.'

Often Tired But Never Weary.

Let's discuss this point for two minute?. Here's a man who says that at a certain period he began to feel tired and weary. That's precisely the way he puts it in his letter. Now anybody has a right to feel tired or fatigued (it's the same thing), after labor or much exercise. It\j the body's fashion of telling you to hold up, to tjive it a rest. It is a natural and, in health, with supper and sleep just ahead, a pleasant feel iug. But weariness !—Chit's different. Tint eomrs of monotony, of waiting, d loneliness. Weariness is of the mind, not of the body. Eat it can arise in the body, all the same. If this bothers you at first, don't s*y, stuff! humbug ! but stu 'y up ou it. A man may be tired and hippy; but not weary and happy. for weariness mema depressei spiiits, ami nerves all sagged down in the middle. And when you get hot at once you will be wise (o find out what's gong wrong. It is a short letter, Mrs is, and we can just as well quote the who'e of it. The writer says-"It was in November*, 1887, when I began to feel tired and we*ty. It pcerr.ed as if I had uo strength left in mo. Bifore that I had alway< bee» strong and healthy. My appetite was poor, and for days together I could no^ touch any fcpd that was placed b.efore nvi. After every meal t\\o. I did succeed in forging down I had such tlreadf ■! piins in the eldest and back that I was almost afraid to eat. Then there was a sharp pain around the heart, tcp, as though X was stabbed with a knife. "I lost a deal of sleep, and for nights to gether I didn't sleep at all, 7 hen I began to lore fja:-h rapidly, and was afraid I was going into a cousump ion. Yet I kept on with my work, however, but it was a hard thing for me, because I waa ?o weak and nervous that I trembled from head to loot. As time went on I gradually got worse and worse, and my eyes were sunken and drawn in. I consulted a doctor in Kentish Town. He gave me medicine, but it did no good. Alter all this I got the idea into my head that I should not recover. ,

" One day a lady came into the shop, and noticing the state I was in, kindly asked how long I had been ill. I told her all about it, and she said • You try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup ; it has made me well and I believe it will do you good.' "I sent for a bottle and after taking only a few doses I felt relieved. Presently my food agreed with me, and 1 enjoyed my •meals. 1 could sleep better also, and by keeping on taking the Syrup I soon got as strong as I ever was \n my life. Since that time (now over four years ago), I have been in the best of health, I consider that in all probability this remedy saved my life ; at all events, it restored my health, and life without health don't amount to ityuph,. I gladly consent to the publication of this s^ateiflent, a^d will answer inquiries. Yours truly. (Signed), G. Vlnce, 142, Shepherd's Bush Road, London, W., November 30, 1892."

Thus Mr Vince's jpfprtuoa^ e^perjenpp comes tfl happy end,. As he has to work fqr a living, like most of v?, he is no doubt often tired, but nevar weary any mqre. And what can possibly be move wearisome than long-eontinutd iliness ? With him, as with millionc, it was the stomach that was in fault. His food entered the stomach and stopped there. So he suffered from two bad results ; he received no strength from it, but he did receive the deadly acida and gases which the fermented s uff gave oirili ta. indigestion and dyspepsia., The same old story 01 pain and misery,' and, thank mercy, the samo story of restoration and gratitude after an appeal for help had been made to good old Mother Seigel.
