Yon's a country where all set out on even terms.
That's truer there, by far, than in America, even.

It's a young country and a new country, still, but it's grown up fast.

It has the strength and the cities of an old country, but it has a freshness of its own.
And there labor rules the roost.

It's one of the few places in the world where a government of labor has been instituted.

And yet, I'm wondering the noo if those labor leaders in Australia have reckoned on one or twa things I think of?
They're a' for the richts of labor--and so am I.I'd be a fine one, with the memory I have of unfairness and exploitation of the miners in the coal pits at Hamilton, did I not agree that the laboring man must be bound together with his fellows to gain justice and fair treatment from his employers.
But there's a richt way and a wrong way to do all things.
