No. 199.] 341 



Labour must be more and more regarded as honourable in all. 

 Whether in the scorching field, or the work shop, or on the vessel's 

 deck, honest labour must be protected, its rights guarded, and as is 

 done by your association, its productions greeted with an encouraging 

 welcome. 



In this way the march of all the great industrial pursuits among us 

 will be likely to*continue onward j and we shall enjoy the high satis- 

 faction of doing something, in our day and generation, to promote their 

 desirable progress.
