Tit for Tat

To the Editor of the "Norra-Emma Dany News."

Sim,—Roferring to the threatened stoppage of beef supplies by the Butchers' Guild, by reason of an all imposition of likin on cattle, if such likin will also be levied on pigs, both foreigners and Chinese will be in the same boat, but if pigs are to escape, than let the Municipal Council retaliate by placing an octroi duty on pigs, dead or alive, coming within Settlement limits. This will bring the cattle dealers and likin people, who are probably identical, to their senses.
