other olatses of the community 1 Are they entitled to equal justice «f ■ T^ with the other classes 1 Then I repeat that if they should not-be unfaxrly treated, and if they are entitled to equal justice and equal laws with the rest of the com munity, they must bestir tnemselvesand male m a compact body to secure their class from unfair treatment; for there is no longer any doubt of the ultimate aim and object of the school of politicians, who call themselves Liberals, and yet m legislating where farmers owning land are concerned, violate every pnneiple f Liberalism. They openly and wit lout disguise declare they intend to national,^ the land-that is practically take it by force from its present owners- -byimeans of unjust and oppressive taxation. With »uch le^slatire injustices to I*™™.%^™s m existence as those I have Pomtedcwt, and knowing the view. of. the at present dominant party, and how hostrle they are to all farmers owning land, I ask you is it nob the bounden duty of all farmers great and small, to ally themselves foi rautual protection against threatened in justice and oppression.- \'^^

THE PENDARVES ORGAN.

TO THE EWTOK- Sir _" One of the Public " must surely be a new chum m Pendarves, or he would have known better what the «^«*"£» were under which *he Pi^bytenan Church's organ was subscribed for, Kvery Church Committee makes use of the ladies to raise subscriptions, and^ the Presbyterian Committee only followea a wellknown custom and a «°°*«"£g£ I have mmy possession the subscript on list which I myself headed, and which lay at my house, not for two months, but tor two years. No children carried it about, and the subscriptions upon it were col lected by my sister. It is headed " Subscription lub m aid of an instrument for Fendarves Church." At that time the Presbyterian Church was the only reli gious body using the Pendarves school I did not see the other lists ; but if 'One of the Public " is no nearer the truth m their deacriptbn than he v i m the case of my list, lam more Justified m saying there is a great difference between his statements and the truth, than he was m making that remark about the letter of myself and colleagues, as I write with the actual document I treat of m my posses sion, and enclosed for your inspection, while he simply retails village go&sip not very reliable at any time.

THE SINGLE TAX.

TO THE EDITOK. Sik—Will you kindly grant space for a few lines, re the Single Tax. Its advo cates are said to advise spoliation and confiscation ; is this true ? The Single Tax does not aim to destroy private property ins he products of land but m the land tsel .. Why is taxation needed? This queßt on answered, comes the next—What shall be taxed ? Does Liberalism demand equality and sacrifice, justice demands the welfare of all—sacrifice is out of the question. Have 1 injured my fellows by building houses'l No, then do not tax my property. Could I build my house, save on ground on which my neighbour could build, if not prevented by me? Surely no. Then, when the wants of society require taxation, the site, nob the house, is the proper object of taxation. When a child, I have listened to stones told of tattles for and against freetrade. I have heard how landlords conveyed their tenants m carriages, m order that they might vote for Protection, since, (so the landlords said) by so doing they would further their own interests. Men know now all increase m values must bottom on land, reaching the landlords, whether company or individual, either m rent or enhanced price of lands. Yet the small farmers, whose sons have to look abroad for room, are asked to consider their interests the same as those who farm the great part of a province I have read that the policy of the present Government is to sell no lands, and that, going beyond the Single Tax, it is their wish to substi tute the public for the private landlord. In my opinion this will not mend matters. Not only will a privileged class be created, but; State laws will interfere with the laws of Nature, thereby restrict ing trade and commerce. I assert they do so m the county of Ashburton, and if here then possibly elsewhere. —I am. etc., Fair cat

The population of Melbourue at the eu of April was 491,942. ( On Sunday the Very Rev father Ghastagnon will celebrate raas^ at Rakaia, Vespers at Ashburtoa at the usual hour. The costs m the great action m Brisbane against Sir Tliomas MelUvriath and others (Qve nsland Investment Company) amounted to i 20,000. Before Mr W. Rees, J.P. this morning, a first offender, who was found, drunk m the streets the previous evening, was convicted and discharged. Messrs S. W. Alcorn and Co. advertise that they want £1000 as soon as possible, and m order to get it they are offering the whole of their stock of diapery, etc., for sale at prices that will induce buyers to come forword with the cash. There were five tenders sent m fcr planting 80 acres atKaiapoi and 60 acres at May fie Id for the Canterbury Plantation Board. The tender of Mr James Porter, Allenton, has been accepted for planting thejKaiapoi block, and the tender of Mr William Gardener, Tinwald, for planting the block at Mayfield, opposite the village settlement. Both con tracts thus come to Ashburton. On Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, Mr Robert Galloway, wheelwright, while sitting m the Public Library reading room, was seized with apoplexy and fell down on the floor unconscious. Those near by had him promptly conveyed to the Hospital, where Dr Trevor attended him. Mr Galloway never regained consciousness, and at five o'clock m the afternoon he died. Deceased was nearly fifth-three years of age, and had been a resident m Ashburton since 1878. He was well known m the temperance circles, and it was his boast that for nearly forty years he had been a total abstainer. His death was very sudden, but as he died from natural causes no inquest will be held. To the plant of the local branch of the ' " Zealandia " boot factory's business, under i the management of Mr J. Brockelbank, for j Mr J. Bishop, has been added a sewing machine of the Singer brand, specially procured to suit a local trade. This machine y can be used equally well for new work and for repairs—that is, patching, so that parties requiring repairs to the uppers of their boots can have the work done at a moment's notice, and quite as well as if done by hand. The machine is highly finished, and is called the " Fearnought,"the name implying that it fears no comparison with any,work done m the sewing of leather.
