SIR R. STOUTS ADDRESS.

*-^-The Premier has issued the following address : —

10 THE BUCTORS OF DO KBDIN EAST.

Gentlemen. —l ogam.offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages. I will take an early opportunity of meeting you, and k explaining the political position. Mean A while, I may state tho following, amongst Hf others, are the planks m my platform :— JF 1. Retrenchment m tho public service. 2. Any additional taxation required by Jaeans of the property tax' to bo so or anged as not to increase the burdens of perßohs of email moans. 8« Any increase of Customs requisite to bo bo imposed as to assist our local in dustries. 4. The continuance of the small settlo ID -Dt '-.hemes "Of the Crown land m auguratod by the present Government, and the general furtherance of the agricultural and pastoral interests' m every way pos- Bible*. •'■ '■■

5. The strengthening of local goVorn tnout by the decentralis.lion of all possible Government functions. 4J The maintenance at all hazards of our educational system. I am adverse to any scheme that would throw the representation of the people .n to tho hands of tbe few, of tho weolthy, end unduly reducing the, members of the House of Representatives would do so. I believe retrenchment m our Legisla ture oan be effected, but this can be carried T|#.t without interfering with the number •f the numbers of Parliament. Wore the cambers reduced, several outlying or thinly peopled districts would be practi cally unrepresented. Even now some dis tricts are too largo. It is passing strange that many of thoso who increased the number of members m 1881, when the population of tho colony was 490,000, Bhould now advocate a reduotion of mem bors when we have 695,000 people. What the present Ministry has done for the colony by its legislative measures and administrative acts I shall detail to you when I address you. I may just add that our aim has teen to frame truly Liberal and democratic laws, and to carefiilly, prudently, aud economically administer the affairs of the State. Wo have suc ceeded m many respect*, and m the face of a strong Oppceition party m both Houses. We havo effected large Bavings m the public expenses, and more families have been placed on. the land by us than by any previous administration. With the hearty assistance and co-operation of the Liberals m the colony we can do much * more.

PEASANT PROPRIETARY IN FRANCE

Now that the question of Village Settle ments or peasant proprietorship appeals to be hanging m the balanco, and that the advent to powor of a Ministry oppoeod to suoh settlements would np m Iho bid what veTy many think will piovo to be the ultimate salvation of tho country, it may have weight with some wh > are still doubtful on this que. tion, to hear Mr Gladstone's opinion. That statesman, m alluding to the system of pea.ant proprie torship io F_an.ce, a system which it took a bloo ly rev.-'utioo to inaugurate, said*: - " The' taxab.e incorao derivablo from lat.d m France had advanced f>r more rapidly m that ocuntry than m England. The agricultural income cf France had m thirteen years incroaeod 4 ) per oent, whilst m England ia thirty-four years it had only ii.orea.ed 20 p*r cent. And this vast In crease m tbe agricultural value of France was not upon the large propert<e.«, which, jf sry'hlng,, were inferior as to cultiva tion to the largo properties m England, but it w.s upon thoso very peasant pro perties which so many people were ready to decry." It will also be remembered that it was the peasant proprietary of Fravo. which enabled that country to pry the German war indemnity of 2CO milliot.s wlib a promptneus thot took" thv'-w-.r-t. by ■arprise.

A WORD FOR SIR JULIUS YOGEL

A correspondent of tho Auokland » Bell » w.il.fct to th_t jovmal DS followt ; —"At the present time, when tho f.o'- Ing Is running high that Sir Julius Vogol is ro-poneible for the depresnion thai ia new pa-Ding ever ua, I would *i_h tn bring under yrur notice, m j uatioe to all men, that he has dono a grsat deal for ob, «nd thit the wave that is pessing hard upon us jnet mw is not due to him, but to the force of citcurußlanct.., thai wiil to tho end tt all Hmq fc._Vel ia cycles to the various CDPi.tri_a of the wcrld.

To tho foreg in* the editor of th© '«• Bell " apjenda the following footnote :— We sincerely, sympathise with every word <f our oorr-_p_ndent respecting Fir Julius VogeJ.

WHOLESALE PERSONATION

It is Btated In Sydoey that wholesale im personation was resorted to m the Parlia menta<y election lately wh9n Mr Wise defeated Mr Traill. In the vloinity of Albion fl'reot, it is mimred, was a house with a large room devoted solely to the purpoeo of '• turning th' m out " Round thereon were d'Zjns of different Bnits, the •' old o'.o' " shops of Paddy's Market having been cleared of the regimeuta's of impersonation. In one oorner of the room was a heap of flour; ln another a heap <f olar coal and coal-dust; and m anotbor a heap of fine tan bark' The bribed perooDcter would re turn from the booth a muddy-looking plpe-hyer, when he w ,uld change his "dudß" and by a rnovo of. the "c<m mlttee " would to change.] into a baker or a miller, the orowd pelting him with flour, or Into a stoker or coal-yard man, the crowd pelting h ; m with coal-dust, and so on. It ia said that b'ix or boy. n r<f thene impersonators were turned out m relays every half-hour : and It is .ali that only for the svrinllo being dis_overod and put a slop to there m'ght have been some 400 more bogus vo'cb pilled.

RETRENCHMENT.

It is sufficient evidence that m pro posing to carry out a policy of retrench ment the Government are faithfully re flecting public opinion to f\pd that the Opposition also sound the same note. It is true that the latter profess a wil lingness, if entrusted with power, to retrench more vigorously and thoroughly than Ministers are supposed to be ready to do, but we fancy tbat the country will prefer deeds to words, and if so, will rather trust those who have the courage while m office to propose a cutting down policy rather than those who, when m office, declared such a policy to be impossible. Minis ters proposed last session a reduction of •■£._: 50,000, which Major Atkinson declared lo be not nearly enough. We agree with him m that view, but we do not forget that when Major Atkinson was on the treasury Benches he ab solutely refused to attempt a reduction of even He is now crying " Codlin's your friend not Short," but we fancy that he will cry m vain. We believe that Ministers really mean what they say, but they must go farther than they propose m the direction of re trenchment if they Would satisfy the country and meet the necessities of the situation. If they do not, then others must take their place, but the country will be only leaping out of the fiying pan into the fire if it accepts an Atkin son administration m their stead. We have said that the Ministerial scheme of retrenchment does not go far enough. Sir Robert Stout insists that the Educa tion expenditure shall not be reduced, and if he persists m that insistance he will find it a fa.al mistake. For m our opinion, and we lhf»!c, m that of the country generally, it is absolutely im perative thata reduction be made m this and m other directions j and, as we have shown m a previous article, by raising the minimum school age to seven years, and imposing a school fee for the fifth and sixth standards, a nett saving of something like could be made m the education 1. ote. By the abolition of Education Boards this might be increased to a total of very neatly £100,000. . Then, again, we are strongly cf opinion that the number of members m the House of Representatives should be reduced to sixiy, and the number of paid Ministers of the Crown to five. The difficulty i as to the increased area of the country electorates resulting from the reduced number of representatives must be met by raising propoitionately the per-cen tagc of population allowance. The salaries of Ministers will also bear re duction by 20 per cent, and a like reduction may also be made m the honorarium. These, with some small further reductions m the Legislative department, would make a further total saving of £15,000. We are satisfied that by the exercise of a rigid economy m all deparl ments of the public service still further savings may be made to the tune of fully ,£85,000 more, so that altogether it would be possible to relieve the burdens of the country by a sum cf £200,000 over and abovo the reductions contemplated by the Go vernment. If this were done there would be no necessity for any ad ditional burden of taxation, and all that would remain would be to revise and readjust the existing taxation, so as to place the heaviest eiid of the log on the strongest shoulders. Under such a schepie, revenue taxes should be raised mainly upon luxuries, and while articles of necessity which we cannot produce should be admitted free, the production of articles which can be raised or made | m the colony, should be encouraged ' and assisted by protective duties upon similar articles imported from abroad. If, m addition to this reform, a graduated income and land tax were substituted for the present property tax, we should have placed our finances and our fiscal system on a sound and satisfactory footing, and could look for ward to a period of financial equilibrium, instead ot constantly receiving deficits, and to a period of progress, instead of stagflation and depression.
