THE YELLOW PERIL.

Dear Truth Re the discussion lately about, the colored men having the bulk of the trade m fruit, etc., and returned diggers out of work. First of all, whose fault is it that the bulk of the trad© ds m the hands of the Chinese? Are we to blame the Government' for not Imposing a sufficiently heavy tax and thus allowing the Asiatics m the. country? Or are we to blame the white, people who have patronised, and are atlll patronising, them? I think the latter are more to blame than the Government. Lately the tobacconists have been making a fuss about the Chinese being allowed to sell tobacco, but I have seen those, same tobacconists' buying their fruit' off the Chinese. Let the white people pull themselves togethor and patronise their own countrymen first. Yours, etc.,

ALL WHITE.
