Mr Asquith to Working Men.

Mr Aeqaith was the principal speaker at a meeting held »t Coventry, of the Labour Association for ptomnt log co-operative pro luction bfla^d on the copartnership of the workers, Mr AsquHh referred to the proatress which the Association had madH m impressing tp'on the evergrowing body of public opinion m this country the inoporiancp, not; ai an academic doctrine, not as a 'mere 'counsel of perfection, but »b a 'practical working expedient, the prin ciple of industrial partnership. Ho wets gl»d to have an opportunity of testifying to wh*t he believed to be toot only the logio<il validity, not only the sentimental attractions, but th«, praoiicai value of industri'il partner ship, ha would not say as a solution o! the wliol>, lut as au attempt to solve soiQri of the most serious of our indus trial evils. (Cheers). Out /industrial : system to-day, notwithstanding its productive efficiency, notwithstanding Its ever—growing output, was to a large extent conductor! upon lines and by Methods which were injurious to the individual and dangerous to society. (Chpere) , The individual worker had become more and more a mere wheel m a machine which he could not con trol, and! which was driven nnd directed by others. (Cheers) Happily, there had come into "existence protective agencies, but for which his position would have been touch worsp, .Jut there was a vast de»l ctill to b© done before they would have surrounded the prodvetive industries of tS»i» coun try with those weens and safeguards Biyaiast prev^ntible cavils which not only humanity, but the most ordinary prudence and common-sense demanded. With all its drawbacks, trade uuiorrsro had been one of the great safeguards of the indi vidual worker m tbislong 1, complicated difficult, and dangerous process—the transformation of industry If he thought that the Byßtem.of indastrial partnership struck at the roots of the principle of combination, either as be tween emp'oyers or employed, he for one certainly Bhould not be there to advocate it. (Oheere) There were certain things which went under the name of cooperation which did not m.any degree help to realise even the first etege of the ideal to which H$ had referred, Nothing was gained m the long run by the substitution of a group of small mas ters for a aingls employer. They knew from experience how m many of the BC-called co-operative businesses the very worst conditions as regarded the rate of wages, length of hours, the health as d safety of tb.B workers, were allowed to prevail. Ho called that sweating yonr fellows m the sacred Dome of fraternity. (Cheer?) We were seriously threatened m our industrial supremacy. For the first time m the history of thf> world, m Ibis hat year of the nineteenth cen tury, the exports of another country, the United States, exceeded thoae of Great*Brirain and Ireland. The truth was, m his opinion, we had lost our start; m the race, aud other nations, both m respect of their material ad vantages and still more m the training of the industrial intelligence of their cltiz^ne, were everywhere' m all mar kets pressing us hard. We wanted better education of both masters and men. We wanced more flexible methods of business. We wanted more and more to remove everything which tended to slackness of work, to wastefulness of material and labour, and above all to misunderstanding, to ilUadjustmenf, or to friction betweee the interests and the factors which were generally concerned m the pro dtictioo of wealth

Doctors Beffled.

TWENTY "FIVE YEARS OF MISERY. ENDED B¥ BIIE BEANS. y__ A WELLINGTON WOMANS WORDS, There is nothing more aggravating nothing more provoking m life, and no complaint which causes more incon venience than indigestion. It is very prevalent, we learn m Wellington, and throughout New Zealand. That this is the case might be Imagined from the following letter which we pub lish from Mrs T? M SnJtb, who resides at 171 Ouba Streaf, Welling ton. fehf> says:—l have been a sufferer daring the past 25 years. During that time I never knew what it was to feel well. The symptoms of my illness were loea of sleep. For months I would letnain awake ail night, and I could cot rest on my left side, I also ttsf fered very badly from indigestion, heartburn, biliousness, and a feeling of greafr, weariness. Daring the long period of my illness I was attended by no less than eighteen doctors, not one of whom coaid relieve me.

I I "1 i

I had tried all kinds of patf nt medi cines, but received no benefit. At last I was recommended to try Bile Beans, which I did, and! found that after I had taken a few boxes I was beginning to feei quite a different woman. I now etj >y the best of health, and have no hesitation m reeommt lading Bile Bears to any person suffering as I did, This account is of one of our own colo niste, ard if you doobfc the above, we would ask yott to call on the lady, or writp, and find out for yourself a@ to the toth of the same. Hundreds of New Zealand citiz ns have proved ,the worth of Bilo Beans for biliousnesa, indigestion, constipation, bad blood, pimples, Piles, liver troubles, and for a general toning up of the system.
