increased borrowing than to retrieve a position of pro- perity through thrift and •elf reliance. If his opponent had madb this clear to them and they believed him, then elect him by all means He would contrast the action of the Government and the Opposition during the last three years*. The Government came into power with the avowad inten tion of bringing about an equilibrium m the colonial finance. They Bez;d the sinking-fund and paid a quarter cf a million out of loan that had previously been paid oat of revenue. They cut down the Property tax one half and put £180,000 In the pockets of the wealthy. They said tbe Customs duties muet not be increased any more ; the following year j they brought down proposals for a large Increase, with the affirmation that they abjured Protection. They also brought down proposals m respect of the Meiggs Scheme and m regard to local bodies whioh would have plunged the country Into a position of difficulty which out weighed anything they could contemplate, and compared with which the present depression was slight indeed. The action of the Opposition had averted this and it had also prevented the under taking of useless works, which would, M proposed by the Government, have eoit the country a great dea', a_d would have committed it to many millions more to complete these work Hr Rolleston here traversed much of the ground he went over m his former Bpeech, a foil report of which has appeared m car columns. THE TABIFJT. In regard to tne siatement made by Ministers that the amount which would be realised by the proposed increase of ; the Customs duties would be but slightly In excess of the smount yielded by that souroe m 1882 Mr JKolleston said the answer was very simple. The people had not now tbe same spending power bb then : their products realised !•« and they felt the depression more keenly. He likened the ac ion of the Government to the manner iv which indiarabber was obtained from the Indiarubber tree. A knife was stuck into the tree and the Indiarabber exuded m the form of a milky substance, at first freely, but gradually more and more slowly. As tha ■apply became lesa tbe knife was driven nearer and nearer the vitals of the tree till ultimately the latter succumbed. The action of the Ministry was very similar. They were seeking to bleed the ooantry more than it could stand and it behoved the people to restain them or disastrous results must eurely follow. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY, A great deal of objection had been taken to him bb a candidate on tbe ground that he was not mindful of the interests of Canterbury and his action In regard to the East and West Coast Railway was brought forward ao a case m point. Now he wished to have this oat with them cud If he was not sufficiently clear he hoped they would drag it oat by means of ques tions, Mr Bolleston made a very long statement on this subj .ct. The question i was one m whioh he took an early m- i te*est. He had travelled both routes to the West Coast and he had been- one of < the first public man to advocate the line. ' The Government of *hioh ho was a i member had practically inaugurated ] the work. They always looked for- i ward to its being undertaken, and they i had carried the line almost to the point 1 from which the route to the West Coast i started. The question wa_ raise 1 whether i the colony was m a position to borrow 1 the three millions requ site to construct 1 the East and West Coast and Nelson- . Brunnerton lines, but il was decided the 1 finances of the colony would not bear the . strain. An Act was passed, tho one under 1 which the Wellington Manawatu line was ' constructed, allowing certain land con- S I cessions. He had never been m favor of i land concessions, but he had yielded his i judgment to the extent of this Act. He had never wavered m his opinion that when the resources of the colony per- i mitted, the work should he undertakeu. The Meigg's proposal, which had been thrown out, was of a most profligate nature. It was now sought to make capital as against the Opposition m regard to this proposal ; it was said they had prevented its being considered by a com mittee; that it was never advocated by the Government, and that they simply brought it m for Parliament to consider. Now, if they looked at "Hansard," they would find the case entirely different; Sir Julius Yogel was actually on the point of giving notice of motion that the proposals be assented to when he was intercepted by Sir George Grey. In regard to the pro posal brought down tbe session before last, he had voted for the second reading of the Bill, though he had plainly stated his objections. He thought that there was likely to be considerable difficulty m the future m connection with this railway, and he thought that complications would arise m regard to compensation for auri ferous land. Now, however, that the work had been decided on he would ho no party to going back, and he would do his utmost to get the line finished, and to keep faith with the contractors. Bis action m regard to this work had been maligned. He would ask them if they wished their public men to sit gagged m the House, only to cry out for public works, no matter what they might cost the colony, instead of waiting like prudent men and getting the work desired carried out on business principles. He claimed from them credit for the course he took, being m what be considered tbe interests of the public. He only hoped what he dreaded m regard to difficulties to come n connection with this work might not take place. THE RAILWAY TARIFF' The feeling that tho farmers had gi. en expression to m regard to the raising of the tariff m 1884 was not unnatural, but hb tbpught that he could show them that the Government, of which he was a mem ber, was not so bad as it had been painted. When ihey went into office they found one rate, and they left office ivitb another, more favorable to the far-, mer than tbe former one. The Grey Go vernment — of which Sir R. Stout and Mr Bal|aoce had been members, and which had held back as long as they could from Canterbury money justly due to her — when they came into office, found the rates left by bim (Mr Rolleston) as Superintendent m 1876. These they raised as the following table for three distances would show :— 10 miles. 25 miles. 50 miles. Provincial Government 4/4 7/4 11/11 Grey-Stout Government 4/7 7/9 12/11 When the Atkinson Government cameinto office they dealt with the grain tariff on several occasions, lowering it every time with one exception. In 1882 considerable pressure waß JDroDght to bear upon them to farther redupe the grafp rates and they reduced it, as he thought rather too low, but with the understanding that if the production of grain were tot encouraged to a commensurate extent it would have to be raised again. The production did not Increase as anticipated, and m 1884 the rates were raised, &b he thought too high. Tbe present Government whioh had climbed Into office, on this que_tloc of the grain tariff, had not dared to reduce them to the same figure that they were m 1882. He did not blame them for this because the rates were as be thought too low^then and a right medium had probab'y been struck now!. He 'would say that be would be no party to raising the rate* any highey than they now were. He would quote some more figures and show that the rates when they left office, and about which such a noise had been made were muoh more favorable to the farmer than those which were (a force when they catne Into power.

10 miles 25 miles 50 miles. 1879 4/7 7/9 11/10 1882 3/6 4/9 6/10 1884 4/4 6/10 10/2 The present Government had lowered the rate to 3s 6d, oa 4d, and 8s Bd. Tho cone, ssion m regard to terminal charges, which meant from £d to id a bushel to | the farmer, had been abolished, but there ; had been no howl about that. Another p fiint which had been urged against the Atkinson Ministry was that they had let wool escape an increaee of tariff ; but Le would remind them that wool had not been I lowered like grain, and to increase the rates meant driving the traffic off the lineß altogether. RAILWAY MANAGEMENT As at his former meeting Mr Bolleston expressed himself m favor of a Board of experts to manage tbe railways as m Victoria, and a Parliamentary Standing Committee, composed of men with a knowledge of the subject, to deal with complaints, fete., and thus remove any chance of departmentalism. the land question. It had been said that the Opposition desired to get into power iv order to favor the squatters, and he saw an article m a local uewspaper the other day which made him open bis eyes. He could not believe that such ignorance prevailed m regard to the Canterbury runs. He quoted from the article m question, which was b<tsed on an extract from a speech of Sir Julius Yogel. He could not believe, however, that Sir Julius Yogel imde Buch glaring mistatements and he must ascribe one of them to a typical er-or m the paper. It was stated that these runs comprised 27.0C0.000 acres ; as a matter of fact ! they only comprised 2 800 000 acres. Tho paper further stated that the leaseholders numbered 92 ; now they numbered 417. In regard to the rent paid, tbe paper was nearer the mark ; it said £47,000, and the real amount was £49,000. The statement that tbe rents were only £d an acre was absolutely untrue ; the average rental of Canterbury runs was 4£d : a good deal was 9d, lOd, and soma Is. Mr Rolleston spoke on this question at much length. Be said that there had been a great deal of misrepresentation on the subject of the cutting up of the runs It was Dot a question to be re»dlflcuased It was already dealt with, and was on the Statute Book. It had been said tbat tbe extension of, the tenore of the runs was due to the Atkinson Government. It was incorrect. It was brought about by Mr Donald Reid, a man who olain ed to be most liberal m his opinions Formerly the leases were a sort of running tenure, and In 1877 the year 1890 wag taken bb the period when the leases should be dealt with afresh, He himself had seen that further improvements had been needed, and had provided that the classification of the runs should take place. It was a question requiring skilled administration, so as to prevent any dodging. After classification had taken place the runs would be put up to auction for a twenty one years' tenure. There would also be small runs laid off of 5000 acres, which could be held on a continuity of tenure up to twenty-one years, and at the end of that period the improvements would be'ong lo their holder. Mr Rolleston dealt with tho matter at very great length. He denied that he was a squatter's advocate. His land adminis tration would show that he had acted In the ii teres ts of tha people and the system inaugurated by him would go far 1 1 pre vent the acquisition of huge estates, and the establishment of landlordism which had proved euch a curse m -the old countries of the world. He wished to know why his former colleagues, Major AtkioEOi and Mr Bryc.'a interests should be with the squat era and ho referred to the fact that at the time he was Superintendent, the question of gcidiron ing came up and he carried a bill through the House that effectually put a atop, to it. rARI'Y GOVERNMENT. He held that their representative in stitutions were not receiving fair play. It was essential that ajjgovernment should be composed of men who held the Bame oplnior.B and principles and who were prepared to bring their measures down, with a rope round their necks — who who would stand or fall by their principles. The present Government was not one like tbat ; it was composed of men who did not hold the Bame opinions m common, who advocated all sorts of co_ Acting views and who, when they brought down a;, policy, adandoned it at the first breath of popular feeling. He instanced the division of the Min'Btry upon the Repre sentation Bill. Tbis measure, brought down by the Premier, was actually thrown out by his own colleagues, the result being tbat instead of Parliament now being en gaged m devising meaus to deal with the financial difficulty the country was being put to the trouble and turmoil ot an election. Mr Rolleston concluded his address with an appeal to the electors not to be influenced by personal consideration, but to record their votes m what they conscientiously believed to be the best Interests of the country. Mr Rolleston who had spoken for about two hours resumed his seat amid applause. Several questions were answered. Mr Leadley proposed and Mr GUmour seconded a vote of thanks to Mr Rolles ton. Mr Leadley spoke at some length his remarks being sObjeoted to frequent inter ruption. The _ote was carried and a similar compliment to the chair concluded the proceedings. When the meeting was dispersing some one ca 'ed for " three cheers for Mr Bnxton " which were given though interspersed with groans and other marks of disapprobation.
