THE " LABOUR " PARTY [To the Editor of the

SPECTATOR.] SIR,—This title, arrogated to themselves by a minority of the Nation, is as much a misnomer as " Catholic " when used for one section, though the largest, of the Christian Church. Shakespeare long ago gave the correct definition of the "true labourer," and put it into his mouth in these words : "I earn that I eat, get that I wear ; owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness ; glad of other men's good, content with my harm." Let us commend this description

to the so-called " Labour " leaders.—! am, Sir, •
