ment*may suit the dwellers in large cities.it must mean that thecountry wi' 1 suffer that the country districts will be ruined, and above ail it means this, that the poorest farmers with the poor est land will derive no benefit what ever from the proposal ; because we all know of land that is worth no more to-day than the day it was bought, while those on the richer land, who have had good material to work upon, and who have been able to improve their land, and have found it remunera tive to do so, will escape taxation to a great extent. I do not think, when you consider it, that that would Le a fair thing. But you may turn and twist this question of the non-taxation of improvements any way you like, and you -will find it resolves itself into this simple statement, and I want you to get hold of it, and even to repeat it over to yourselves; it is this—That while a man shall not be taxed for his own improvements he shall be taxed upon the improvements of his neighbor. UNFAIR TAXATION OP THE WORKING CLASSES. 1 have no doubt you have often been told during this contest, that the working classes pay far more than their share of taxation by means of the custom duties. Do they? I do not tbink they do. Let anyone here who is aggrieved at the amount of tax tion he pays—that it is absolutely necessary for him to pay by way of taxation because you cannot argue thao if a man spends the bulk of his in come in, say, drink that therefore it would be wise or politic to take the duty off drink and have free beer and for whiskey—but consider the amount of taxation that, say a family of four, pay by way of customs duties. Con sider the fact that many of those duties have not been enforced for revenue purposes but entirely for the benefit of working men to protect their industry, *nd consider what the state provides for such a family and you will find this, that in the majority of cases indirect taxation does not press heavily upoh such a family. Figure it out for yourselves and you will see I am right, and it is only the settled men with families who pay the bulk of this tax at all; the great majority of farming men in the country are found in food and lodging, as well as receiv ing wages; and, though it may not sound strictly an economic truth to say so, yet lam perfectly convinced that were the duties taken off tea and sugar to morrow there is not a work ing man living upon a farm or station who would gain a penny by the reduc tion. On the contrary, he would be a heavy loser, because it would be neces sary to impose so much more direct taxation upon the community, it would simply have the effect of throwing so many more men out of employment. There is no conflict between labor a»d capital, at least there ought to be none. Labor and capital are the Siamese twins of our social life. Labor 5 can not exist without capital. Capital without labor is of no more value than the gold which may lie under the glaciers of the monntains. COMPULSORY REPURCHASE OF LAND. My chief objection to the Govern ment Bill as it was introduced, and even as it was amended, was that it it placed far too much power in the hands of the Ministers of the day ; that no one would feel secure that he might not be the next whose property might be taken. When I said that freehold made free men, that leasehold made slaves, I was thinking of the universal chaos that would arise if the freehold was in danger. I was not, I assure you, thinking of suggesting that in any way the existing methods of acquiring land should be altered; on the contrary, 1 should be glad to see everything possible done to enlarge and even make the terms easier; I was objecting to the power the Government wish to exercise for the purpose of acquiring these lands. to acquire A's land and give it to B. But supposing they do, will the country be better off? Suppose the Govern ment take my farm of 5000 acres and divide it into 100 farms of 50 acres each, perhaps for a moment an impulse would be given to trade, there would be more buildings, more subdividing, etc., but I question very much whether the result would be that the country at large would be better off than before. I do not think that the exportable produce would be greater, and you know of the ten thousand golden sovereigns that we are told have to be sent out of the country every working day in the year. lam pertain of this that before many years, the result to the wage earning classes would be disastrous, and that the opportunities they now enjoy of saving money, if their minds are given that way, of taking up farming themselves, would be very seriously checked With reference to the question of compensation, also, I must ask you to consider ttis point, whicli has not yet been touched upon, and that is, that if you take away a man's land you take away the tools of his trade, you deprive Kirn of the means of earning his living. Suppose the case, and there are many such in the country, where a farmer has his bonny boys and girls growing up around him, that their tastes and inclinations lead them to desire a country life, that he has brought them up as farmers, perhaps had them care fully educated at our School of Agri culture, and then suppose that some modern Ahab coveting his neighbour's vineyard, sets the law in motion and gets t!ie Minister of the day to take away poor Naboth's land. The latter in the case I have described, although he might receive compensation, al though he might receive the value of his land, yet he would receive nothing for disturbance, nothing for the wasted education of his children, nothing on acpount of all tbp plans of his life tyeing upset. Ido not care whether men have freehold or leasehold, but I say this, that if the country is going to prosper you must give the men security of tenure, and it; is my duty to remind yfju that on that very question, security 'qt tenure, civil rights, up any a battle }jas been fought. '* Jf law and order, honour, civil right, Am t worth the fighting for, what is worth a fight? I'm older than you ; the plough, the axe, the mill All kinda of labour, all kinds of skill, la but » rabbit in a wild cat's claw, If it were not for that slow critter, 'stab lished law, Unsettle that, and all the world goes whiz, A screw is lowe and. everything thwe is."

f RE-PURCHASE OF LAND. f You are, of course, aware that the Government have the [ ower to expend £50,000 a year in the re-purchase of land for settlement. I do not object to Government having the power to re purchase land, but I do not think that it is any advantage to the community that they should purchase land from one set of capitalists and give it to another set of capitalists. If land is to be re-purchased it should not be again parted with. Of course, with reference to Cheviot, things have got a bit mixed. Cheviot was taken partly for the protection of the revenue, and also partly in order to supply what the^ Government considered to be a much desired demand for land. While the revenue must be protected J do not think operations of that sort v i 1 be of any real service to the community. What we have done i 3 this (and recol lect the country wants men, the coun try wants capital), we have allowed perhaps the wealthiest family in New Zealand to clear out and take their money with them. You and I have pledged our resources, we have bor rowed the money to pay these men, and have allowed them to depart, taking a quarter of a million of our money with them. I had far father have seen that money expended in the purchase of native lands or in developing the 20,000,000 of available land for settle ment that Government sa.y we have. Cheviot was not a desert, it. was a fertile country, which the late owaer had de veloped to an enormous extent ; it was a property that distributed c, vast sum yearly in wages, and that paid an enormous sum in direct taxation, before very long the Cheviot estate would have been divided, would have been cut up into blocks, and settlement would have taken place in tha natural*course of events. I do not see what proiit it is to us to re place the late Cheviot family by Aus tralians, by subsidising people to come out from the old country, and above all when we have had to borrow the money to do it. Now that we have Cheviot, we must make the best of it', and to make the best of it I would not sell ot lease another acre of it. There is plenty of available land in the country for capitalists to buy without Government interference. What I would do with Cheviot is this, I would retain every acre that is left as a great State settlement where those who have been here from the beginning and who have gone down in the battle of life, who for one reason or another have been unfortunate, would have been enabled to have lived with decency and comfort, to have done per haps a fair amount of work, as much as their health would have permitted. This proposal I make is no new thing. It has been in existence for several years in Holland, where there are state farms to which the poor and the needy and the destitute can always resort, and there they are far more useful members of society than peaning! them up in this or that Home ; they feel always that they are earning a littl*, that they are retaining their self-respect, and have the respect and sympathy of their neighbuura. I have no objection to the repurchase of land for a scheme of that sort, and this brings me to the whole question of CHARITABLE AID. Sooner or later this question must come to the front, and the public will demand the very strictest inquiry into the whole system. At the present time the cost to the country is some thing enormous—if we consider our population and the fact that we are free from so many of the troubles that encompass the nations of the Old World. Have you reflected that ia the Ashburton and North Canterbury united Charitable Aid Board the ex penditure for the last year amounts to £12,780, and for the whole of New Zealand must be something enormous, raised by taxation, and in addition of course there is the cost of all the hospitals, lunatic asylums, private charity, and private charity of a semi public nature. Now can we do nothing for the poor amongst us better than distributing so many doles of food, &o many doles of money. Can we do nothing better for the per manently unemployed than sending them off to remote districts to work on co-operative contracts, which while they may be a very good thing for able-bodied energetic men who are very well able to take good care of them selves, are absolutely useless for a cer tain class which is always amongst us. Can we do nothing better for old men who have toiled through the long summer day of life, and from one reason or other have been unable to provide an independence for their old age than simply providing them with sustenance. Cannot we give them a greater interest in life. Cannot we give them work—honorable employ ment —go that they will not feel they are eating the bread of charity : will not feel that their day is over, and that the sooner the grave closes over them the better. Can we do nothing better for orphan children than givo them food, dry instruction, and cloth ing them in the uniform of distress. I say that we can do all this, and that it is our duty to do so; and, moreover, I say that we can do so at a great saving of expense to qurselve.s, and recollect this, that the greater the taxation o r f any country, the poorer it must be. Well, you may ask how is thisr muoh to-be-desired effect to be attained? Simply by the use of the present power that the Government have for the re purchase of land, if they have none of their own which could be made avail able for the purpose. If I were the Premier I should at once telegraph over to Mr Perceval, our Agent-General, and instruct him to procure at once a full report upon the working of the State Industrial TarmV m" Holland There are at feast two large Industrial Earms there, which are kept up at the cost of the State, and to which all the old, the poor can always resort; where they have given to them such work as they can do, and where they are useful members of society. There, is no pauperising a community here. If you are old and warn out there is still somathing always that you can do; a little bit of gardening here and there, terfding animals, tending flowers. The principle is this : that indiscriminate charity is the curse of our social life, that work is a fundamental necessity of our existence ; that idleness, especi ally enforced idleness, is a misery. I would take such a, property as, Cheviot^

I and for my purpose Cheviot would do very well indeed, and there I should send our orphans, and I would bring them up with a love of country life with the surroundings of the country, I shou'd train and educate them in country pursuits with a practical knowledge of agriculture, I should especially choose teachers who would study to impart to those little ones a love of animals. I should show them how a cow kindly treated will yield tenfold the produce that blows or curses will produce. When those little ones took a walk they would do so amongst the beautiful surroundings of nature. Every plant would be ex plained to them, would be an interest ing study. Every cloud in the sky would be an object lesson. Would not those little ones be a thousand times better off than mewed up with the sea m front of them and steep hills rising ud behind. There they would see no drunkards, their ears would hear no ribald blasphemies, and when their time came to go forth into the world to fight the battle of life they would be fully prepared for the struggle and above all they would have a deep and abiding love for the country that had replaced as far as it is possible to replace the love of the fathers and mothers they had lost. At their free will (because in my farm there will be no compulsion as long as the rules and regulations which may be laid down are compiled with) could resort the poor and needy, where such work as they could do would be given them. Here would come the aged, and find pleasure and employment to the last. There would be no idleness. Everyone would feel that he or she was doing something for the general good. And all this can be done not only without costing the hard-pressed taxpayers of the country • a penny more than they pay at present, and it can be done and a very sub stantial sum of money saved in the doing of it. CONCLUSION. Ladies and gentlemen, you hear much in these times about the various isms which are supposed to be likely to redeem society. Ido not think those cries are necessary here; I think there is no one here to whom those terms properly apply. I believe those who are, so to speak, tampering with social ism, would fly from it as from a pesti lence if they thought there was any danger of its coming ; while at the same time we cannot lose sight of the fact that those cries influence elections ; and that this man or that is denounced or praised for his adherence to one side or the other. I am for the old Liberalism—the Liberalism that is founded upon the love of liberty—the Individualism that has made our coun try what it is, the Liberalism that freed the "English slaves, the Liberalism that knocked the shackles off English commerce; ay, even the Liberalism that impelled the good men of Boston to throw valuable cargo into the sea, rather than be unjustly taxed ; the Liberalism that we inherited from our fathers, the Liberalism even that drove men and women from out the Scotch legalised churches, to worship their God as they pleased, with the Foible in one hand and the broadsword in the other. T am for the past Liberalism that allowed a man to sell his labor, and to sell his brains, in the very best market he can find for them; I am for the Liberalism that, like a magnificent steamboat, full of valuable cargo, steers straight for a given port, with a due sense of all its responsibilities ; I am not for the moderm Liberalism that like a two penny-halfpenny cookie shell is driven hither and thither by every breath of popular unthinking applause. QUESTIONS. At the conclusion of Mr Wason's speech, which was listened to atten tively throughout and frequently ap plauded, several questions were asked and answered. In his answers Mr Wason said he wag not in favor of tampering with our education system in any shape or form. (Applause.) It was all very well for people to try and show that some portions of the community and Catholics suffered under it. Statistics showed that only 10,000 Catholics were educated in private schools, while 14,000 children of denominations other than Catholic were educated privately. The State could not possibly grant aid to one denomination without extending the same privilege to others. They would simply be letting in the flood to sweep away our present educational system. If a grant were given to one denomi nition a rule would be established which would entitle any parent to a capitation grant who educated his child well enough to pass a certain government standard, He was not in favor of the Bible being read in schools. He did not think that any other persons than the fathers and mothers of children and the clergy j were fit to teach the Bib'e, and the mere reading without teaching would be a meaningless performance. It | would not be fair to make a teacher explain a Protestant Bible to Catholic children. With reference to the text book it was distinctly apart from the Bible and denominationalism. He hac\ seen a copy and he dicl not s,ee that there cquld be the slightest objection to its being taught in the schools. Jt was simply a matter of history—the greatest history in the world, and it would be a pity for people to confound it with the Bible. The fathers and mothers could impart the religious j influence. It was just as reasonable to talk of excluding geography as the text book. (Applause). There had been a nnmber of houses built in New Zealand afc considerable expense on the understanding that so long as they were well conducted they would be licensed, and he thought if; their licenses were taken away they' should receive compensation, but not from the temperance party or the public, bit from the publicans who were sti^l licensed. He wished them, to understand that he was not oppos ing the direct vote. He merely wished that added provision. His idea was that the remainder be charged increased fees and customs duties all over the colony, and that compensation bs paid cut of the fund thus provided. By this means he con tended that more houses could be closed as the opposition would be lessened. It would simply mean that those who drank whiskey would have tq give si>p3nee for the we quantity which

they now receive for fivepencr. but the quality might be better. ./ With regard to free railway passes to athletic teams, he would <|o all in his power to promote the interests of athletes in this matter. He presumed young women were includefljin these teams, if not he trusted they would be. He had no reason to be dissatisfied with the results of his campaign up to the present. He was not 100 l ing for a block vote from any particiaiar sec tion, but he trusted that all f elapses would vote for him. He w?<f quite certain of considerable suppdwfc from the farming community and it »Ld been very gratifying to him to be ffceeived with such cordiality as had b(?en ac corded him by those who Had known many years ago. There was always a very large number of silent, intelligent voters who took no part in the cam paign, but who turned elections, and he believed that next week when the re sult would he known he would have no more reason to be ashamed of his supporters than they had to be ashamed of him. The statistics' be had quoted on the private 'schools'question were official, and he would be most happy to furnish his questioner with the source from which they ha 4 been taken. Mr 0. Reid then moved that a Jiearty vote of thanks be accorded to Mr Wason for the able manner in which he had expressed his views., Mrs Somerville seconded the motion, Which was carried unanimously. The.sec.ond ing of the motion by a lady elector was the signal for prolonged applause.^: The usual vote to the chair closed the meeting. •

MR WABY AT HAMPSTEAD.

Mr Waby addressed the Ashburton electors at Harapstead last evening. Mr Crooks took the chair, and about 150 persons were present. Ift the course of his address Mr Waby torched upon woman's franchise, which he had always supported. He favoured! the present land laws and the Govern-, uaent generally, but considered some legislation was required to make labor and capital work well together.:,; He favoured Arbitration Courts, the pre sent system of education, payment of females the same wages as men where they do the same work, would support a Bible text book in the schools if all agreed to it, was in favor of reducing the duties on the necessaries of life as soon as possible, considered it only fair that the people should have the right to control the liquor question by a majority vote, agreed with Sir Robert Stout that party government had gone mad, and required some alteration/ favored the referendum and an elective upper house, and was greatly against borrowing. After several questions were answered satisfactorily, a hparty vote of thanks and confidence was moved and seconded by ladies and, carried unanimously. *

The circumstances as given pointed to Constable Carmody, of Roslyn, and he was given permission to vindicate his character. Mr Hinton pub lished a letter apologising, and said his language must have been unfortunately chosen. Carmody's solicitors declined r& accept the explanation as candid and desired to get the paper from which the rev. gentleman had read, concluding by asking the name of his solicitor to accept service of a wrifc. Mr Hinton's solicitors replied asking what the other side wanted, and Carmody's solicitors replied intimating that all that was desired was a vindication of his character. On the publication of the correspondence in the local papers and the payment of all costs, no further action would be taken. This has been aecepled.
