THE GOVERNMENT AND THE

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

With a lack of discretion which has been visible in more than one instance since the Colony lost the services of Sir THOMAS O'BRIEN as Colonial Secretary, the Government has plunged itself into a recriminatory correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce on the subject of the recent strike, and seems likely to get very decidedly the worst of it.

We publish below a letter from the Chamber to the Colonial Secretary in reply to his letter of the 2nd instant (which appeared in print the same day) charging the mercantile community generally with having failed In its duty in not supporting the Government in its efforts to suppress the recent strike and with having, in particular, neglected to make use of means at their disposal to coerce the strikers, by enforcing their contracts with their compra- dores, or setting aside their compradoes and hiring labour when it was offered from other sources. This letter assumed as facts, that the firms had agreements with their compradores which they could have enforced, and, further, that others were willing to act and had offered to supply any number of coolies required at ordinary rates, on certala conditions which the merchants might have, and ought to have accepted.

The Chamber of Commerce circulated this lettertotwelve firms and then forwarded the replies received for the information of the Government. We are unable to publish these letters this evening, but will do so on Monday. They are somewhat lengthy and came in rather late for publication in this issue. They seem to us to fully justify the letter of the Chamber to the Colonial Secretary, and we can only express our concurrence with the last part of that letter. We are sorry that His Excellency the Governor has, apparently, been injudiciously advised on this important subject.
