The Labor Question.

EDrToR GAZETTE: The Australian and Polyne
sian planters are astonished at the nfatuation fol
Chinese labor existing in these Islands, and also
at the mismanagement in procuring South Sea
Island labor; and they assert that it must result
in causing serious amounts to be inevitably LOST
large number of plantations.
Their superior intelligence and knowledge on
these important subjects cannot be denied. and
until their method of obtaining labor is adopted
here, and the Chinese supplanted bylaborers from
the New Hebrides, Solomon and adjacent islands,
no improvement can be made in the position of
the planter as separate from that of the agents.
who are always secure IN their commissions and
charges according to the quantity of sugar OBJ
tanned.
The New Hebrides group at a very moderate
estimate, contains 10000 inhabitants, and the
Solomon Islands, from their more extensive area
and teeming population, doubtless contain much
larger number. They are the only laborers recog-
nized by British, French. and German planters for
tropical productions, principally sugar, coffee, and
cotton, having superseded the Chinese and East
Indian.
The labor regulations adopted at Fiji are the
result of great observation, and are adapted to
preserve the rights of the islanders and obtain
proper treatment for them from the planter In
many plantations the efforts of the Colonial Gov.
eminent are assisted by the proprietors Take,
for instance, the island of Mango, where Messrs.
Ryder Brothers employ more than 1000 of these
islanders church, school house, etc, have been
erected, which are personally supervised by MEM
bers of the family; the hands are INDUCED in oc-
casional gala DAYS. What a contrast to many
estates in these Islands, not only account of
the humanity exercised, but also in the actual
labor obtained for the outlay of capital.
Unless the labor for plantations is obtained from
these practically inexhaustible sources, we are
certain to have sporadic attacks of this Chinese
labor infatuation and of its concomitant troubles
such as smallpox, hordes of males without
females, and prevailing disposition TO procure
firearms, and also to render the minimum of
labor for the maximum of payment.
The remedy is quite clear 1t is only to inaugu-
rate a system similar TO that obtained by the in
tellieence, experience, and humanity of the Aus
tralian and POlynesian coonists, and thus prevent
disease, instead of having to submit to annoy
ances and losses attending a cure. VERITAs.
