Child Slavery

THE ALLIGATIONS CONCERN ING DAIRY FABMB, The Christchuroh Truth publishes the following — In view of the recent disclosures respecting the employment of child 1 ftbour on dairy farms in th* Worth Island,the Qtago Times despatched a re porter to ascertain how far a similar state of things exists in that province, As the result of exhaustive enquiries, it was found that while there is un doubtedly a substratum of truth ia re gard to the allegations, the industry is carried oa here under improved labour conditions aa compared with elsewhere; It has been olearly shown here that children are unprofitable milkars, and that if the work in left to them the reaaltg- are poor, the cows ?»11 off in their iappiy, and the farmer finda that adalt labour is indispensable if the farm ia to be worked to yield the biggest return. The prospect of the dairy industry are decidedly Iftvoarable, and there is every reaaoo for believing that in a few years' time, methods will be employed which will render it ranneeeesary tbat children shoild be pressed into work. Taking the province as a whole, it ia wondar falljr free from the evil of unrestricted child labonr, which appears to be com mon In Taranaki and Wanganni

A Taranaki correspotident, who oceapioe a position of responsibility, And has been connected with the dairying industry for 30 years, writes to ue (Post) that no matter what the Dttiry Asßoesiations or the dairy com pauiea may say, it remains an indie potable fact that hundreds of young children in the district are simply white slaves. He h%B in hia possession a letter from a young man who came out from England some sis months Bgo, in which be complains bitterly •bout the long houre at' cow spank ing'—from 4 a m to 10 pm,

The NZ. Tabled commenting on the atttemeat of a Wanganni School In - apectop re children and the dairy indasfery, saya s— These revelations disclose a condition of things far too prevalent in dairying districts. We have frequently seen complimentary references made to ths magnitude of the monthly cheques drawn by milk suppliers from dairy factories, and it has sometimes occurred to as to wonder bow maoh of what is practically slavery lay behind tbie prospective affluence. Parent! are iometlniee very fond of recalling, for fche edification of their juniors, the privations and hardships which they underwent in their youth. Bat the rigorous outline of those hardships is now softened by the mist of distance. 16 aaay be regarded m certaia that they did not enjoy the hardships they now declare to have been so beneficial, and they quite forget to account for the leas fortunate or robnat ones who ■were injured In the process. Toil, when it exceeds a disciplinary extent, or is calculated to ioflicfc bodily or mental injury, should not be imposed open mere children. It may be only lor a few ye&rs, until the farm become* ©stabilised and other branches are added, but in these yearß Irreparable injury may be done to the minds aud bodies of the chlldreri To ask a child > of eight years to milk tan cowi night and mdrajog, to ride thrre miles to school, and then to expect that child to possess a well-developed body and mind, ii to ask an impossibility, and a serious responsibility rests on the parent who makes such demands. A honorable and a comfortable home is a legitimate object of t&mbition, but to achieve this at the expense of the arduous labor of children is to rob the gain of all its blessings.

Lost Flesh Rapidly, Took Quantities of Medicin©, Failed ail the Time. Was Quickly Cured with "Some time ago I had a very severe attack of influenza which, left me greatly weakened. I lost flesh rapidly and was in a very bad way. UI took quantities of medicine, but constantly grew worse all tho time. Finally, I tried Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve from tho start. UI took about six bottles and was perfectly cured. I have used this remedy in my family a great deal and I know it to be a thoroughly reliable health giving compound and family medicine," John Murrell, Railway Station Master, of Sunnybank, Queensland, sends us this letter together with his photograph, which we reproduce above. This is a strong letter, one which must remove all doubt. It is additional proof that Ayer's Sarsaparilla is "The World's Greatest Family Medicine*" You ought to profit by it greatly, for if you are weak, have lost flesh, are witli out appetite, and feel languid and depressed, here is a quick and certain cure.
