TkeFarmen 1 and Country feettlerw' League.

[pik rotas association]

CmisTCHURCH, July 14. The Farmer*' and Country Settler* 1 League met at the Chamber of Commerce Chrwtchurch, yesterday afternoon. About eighty were present, and Mr McMillan presided. Resolutions were adopted to the following effect:—(l) That the.League will oppose all class legislation m a viola tion of the rights ol all citizens to equal laws. 2.—Will oppose all attempts to place heavier state burdens upon owners of land than upon owners of other kinds of property. 3.—Denounces as dithonest and a national breach of faith, any pro posals to nationalise land owned by private citizens without paying ,Mr com pensation for them. 4.—Declares that the imposition of a progressive tax upon owners of land while exempting owners of money from progressive taxation is class legislation, hostile to farmers and landowners, and a violation of their rights to equal laws. 5. —Declares that it is un just and oppressive to cempel mortgagors of land to p»y progressive taxes upon mortgagees' interest m their land. B.— That this League views with just alarm those provisions of the Land, and Income Tax lot, 1891, which tax farmers and coantry settlers so much more heavily than town dwellers and money lenderi with equal means to pay taxes. 1[— Con dense any system of taxation which will have the effect of unfairly diminishing the land for employing agricultural laborers, and considers that the present Land Tax Act wiU cause a manifestly unfair dimimir tion of such wage fund, without giving any corresponding advanlama te them. B.—Declares it is unprincipled and dis honest for any politicians to advocate that any class of citizens able .to pay taxes should nob pay their fair share of taxes required to be levied for the necessities of the community. 9.—Declares that it is unjust for dwellers m towns to have a right to have three votes while country settler* have only one vote for the elec tion of Parliamentary representatives. 10. -That the League will take every means m its power to forward the above views and to assist m protecting the rights a»d interest* of the farming com- j munity. . , It was decided to publish the programme throughout the colony, and send copies to County Councils and Road Boards, with a request that they will organise similar Leagues with a view to delegates meeting and oanralting as to united action ; also to form branches throughout Canterbury

GENERAL SUMMARY. Sas Francisco, June 23, Dr. Potts, from Canada, speaking at the annual conference of the Methodist New Connection, held at Ashton under- Tyne. on June 15th, denied that Canada desired annexation to the United States. The overwhelming majority m that colony believed m the British connection now •ad for ever. The remarks of the speaker were received with cheers. The London "Standard" commented, on June 15th, upon a statement made m the House of Commons by Mr Carzon, Parliamentary Fecretary of the India Office, tnat the Government of India have decided not to be officially represented at the Columbian Exposition, and would not make a grant for Indian exhibits. The paper said:—"lt is surprising that any British subject should think of taking part m an exhibition m a country which, by its protective tariff, appears bent on excluding all English raanfactures from its market," and add—"lt is doubtful whether any foreign Government would accept the invitation of the United States to take part m the -exhibition, if it was known that a measure of the character of die McKinley Bill would have been made law m the States.

On the position of affairs with regard to Mr Bryce Sir Robert Stout sayu, "I understand the feeling of the Premier and his colleagues m desiring to meet Mr Bryce m anyway soas toallowhitnto re-enter public life, and knowing as I do the kindliness of the Premier, I believe he would stretch a great point to do that. It seems to me that the motion given notice of by Mr Reeves is for that object, At the ume time I think it is a very nnfqrtiuate motion, ane 1 disagree with it 'entirely. In my opinion Parliament best maintains its own dignity by insisting an obedience to order. If Mr Bryce had chosen to explain, no doubt Parliament would rescind itsjmotion, but it seems to me that hy nil petition he is practically, m coming to Parliament as a suppliant, admit ing hia error, hut defying the House, and it is not only subversive to order but subversive to it* dignity for Parliament to do what is proposed to be done. It is a greet pity this expunging motion has been tabled. In my opinion Mr Bryce would have maintained hit own dignity hud done what I believe he wishes to do, maintained the dignity of Parliament, if he had simply ignored the put aqd desiring to enter political life had re-entered it."
