It is of course all wake-beliere because the supposition of his engaging of free will to work for wages under clearly understood conditions seems to exclude the proposition of slavery, and then what becomes of the indignation? As a purely abstract pro- position, therefore, let us look at an analogous case. There has been going on, for many years, a great and growing emigration from China to the Straits Settlements. Thousands go, every year, to work there and in the Malay States on plantations, mines, and in various ways; and thousands roturn after saving a little money and completing their term.

Supposing all these difficulties overcome, and that Ah Sin is found ready to go to Soath Africa in his thousands, as presumed. I heard. the other day, a frosh reason why he should be prevented. An omter who had expred him-- self on the subject (1) of the wrong ant was going to be done to the yellow man by euslaving him (2) of the wrong that was going to be done to the white man by supplanting him, went on to say that the Basutos rofused to allow their people to work in the mines on acconat of the enormous mortality-which seemed to mo a reason for desiring, on high moral grounds, to exclude yellow and white as well as black, and so void the mines and the question as well.

But I ace Mr. MacNeill surmises that Ab Sin may be allowed at least religious freedom, and that the provision of accessories may entail expense! Let him be at ease. If the China- man is left to his own devices he will pay his own shot. He is not accustomed to look for Government subsidies at every turn.
