Grkmouth, Jan 25 The largest gathering eves. 1 seen in Grey> mouth took place etb the Opera House tats cnj©riiQg» Hw Worship the Mayor occupied the chair, and a large number of ladieu were present, inc'.uding Lady Ward. The Mayor Id q. few appropriate remarks introduced' Sir Joseph Ward, Oq rising to deliver his acUkesß, Bit Joseph Ward wa§ heartily received. lie laid that thia colony watt ia a very sound oooiiitioß, and ft credit to tbe wcr'd* '1 b<- Icdabbedliaesiß of the oolony was su.i to bt< Increasing, bub those who sad thia over looked the progress o? works. The sum of £2,000,700 had been expended in purchasing land for the good of the people ; and the people had this land in thai? hands* A loan of £1,009,200 had been paid to local bodies, which meant lor the good of the peopir. The 'money was spent in making roada, bridges, and streets. The sum o! JB2 930,000 h»<i Ibsen spent iv ndvancea to settlors. There wuß also an amount for einkint; fund set •part, Thia had coma out of the £10,000,000 of increased indebtedness since 1891. The oolony had an immense security and the colony had reaped the benefit. Some men bad paid for their lands at a high rate of interest auch as 10 par cent and 15 per cent., now they oould get ib at 8 par cert. This had been bbc means of increasing the exports and in doing good to all classes in the colony. &n armament had been pub forward that tbe rate of taxation was insreasiDg. Nothing of the «nrf. Since 1895 the rate per head was J32 10s 3d and ib had steadily decreased until ib now stood ab £2 5s 6J« The Customs revenue h*d increased, but thia was due to forger importa which pointed out ttsat more business was being done. Tbe revenue under tbe Customs and the Land and laoome Tax Act had inoreaßed, which denoted advancement and success. Whab had he asked been the value of the; landed properly advances since 1891 — aomethiog like £20,000,000. No one oould lako upon themselves the name of ' croaker ' mi say that the oolony was going down when ib was progressing very rapidly* When they thought of the vast growing wealth of New Zealand they oould imagine whab a grand future was before the rising generation. If they left the coast alone ib could even make np any deficiency that mighb occur through the drop in wool, eto. The area of the priv&ta estates which had been acquired amounted to about 350,000 acre?, which had ooeb something like £1,844,000. The revenue derived waa £72,781, the interest paid £59,069, and the proflb for the year ended October, 1901, £13,692. A farm of five acres was not » bad area for one man to hold, but when they found men owning 400,000 acres ib was out of tbe question* If things bad bees allowed to go on they would have found themselves in & like position bo whab Ireland was, (Cheers). Since tbe Uovernmenb had taken office they had given back to the people in railway concessions £420,000. The aim and effort of the Government) should be to legislate to help all classes of the com munity. The railwayß had dona a great deal lot the farmers, and the concessions given amounted to £248,000. Cheap money bad infaeed new life into ihe farming industry. The* Government had been accused of having too many inspectors, bat who bad raised ths high standard of their products ? Why, the In peoborß. They could now sail any product that bore tbe mark of the Government, for ib was well known that tbe articles had been thorsughly tested and paseedj They oould hold their own against any country, even Denmark and the Argentine, in the matter of produce. Tbe Government had given away last year £138,000 In reductions ia Customs duties, and Btiil the people aaid that the Governmeab ware increasing taxation, and pointed to the heavy departmental expenses. In the Colonial Secretary's Department these amounted to £75,000, but he said this large sum was due to the Royal visit, Thia would not occur next year. Its cost £20,000 to take the oenaas of the oolony, This item wab Included ia the above* There was an increase of £88,G00 put on by the Education Depart ment) tor tbe increased payment of teachers' salaries. The expenses of the Railway Department had increased by £142,000, but 100 miles of railway had been handed over this year, besides fixing up the oarriagos for the public convenience, hut nob like tbe once on the coast. The re'urna for the p*st nine months showed an increase of £105,0C0- The Defence Department had the protection of about £170,000,000 of private property. This Department Bhowed a bi^ increase of expenditure, bat this was neoessary, aa the ntand the colony had taken in helping Great Britain. Anyone taking exception to the Increase of £39,000 for defence purposes, did cot know anything about the matter. When ' the concession® on the railway and Customs were granted, tba people were afraid thab tbe financial position would ba weakened. Take the condibiona in all Departments. Up to the 31ab of December, 1901, increases were ebown in all Departments. The total receipts in all Departments were £4,211,612, and for the same period the previous year £4,0)0 620—an increase of £181,000 There was still Sir 36 months o! the financial year to ran, and the increase would be a good deal greater. The total amount authorised for public works expenditure had b?en spent in eight months, and ib was the duty of the Government to a cop works after thai vote waa spent, The Public Works Department had dose their duty, and nob exceeded the grant of £IQQ,OQO With regard to the West) Ooatb, he would deal with the p>.et five years. The population had increased 396. Thfl people away from this part did nob look upon Ib as an agricultural district, but bhe acreage had inoreaßed by 700 acres, and the live stock of all kinds 2400, The imports showed an increase of 46,675. The exports had also shown advancements The gold won for the five years amounted to 4,686,7310z, There was a great future for the coasb in this indua'ry. The timber industry had also iooreasad, alarmingly so, ] (The coal exports had increased by something like 14,000 tons. Coal, timber, and gold were a marvellous asset, and the coast) was a> field of wealth, which only wanted develop' rneati A"s regards the railway on the coast, it was a wonderful thing that only one man had approached him with a grievance for reductions. The cpnoseßionß granted amounted to 50 per oenb, and yet tho revenue had not gone down bu 1) increased. They oorald now travel at the ea,me rate m la any part of the oulony, The people on the coast wanted more railways, and he hoped that the Premier and himself would soon have the pleasure of breaking c, bottle at etuch side of the tunnel on the Christchurch line. Then the sawmills would be doubled Tbe output of timber thia year would be 20.0,C0,000 feet, but tbi3 could be easily doubled if there were railway communication. There was nothing to prevent this oolouy' from having a great progreßeivs railway scheme, ao as to grant every concession to tbe public, CThe remainder of Mr Ward's remarks were outlined during hi« recent speech ab Wyndham. A vote of thanks and impliolt confidence) ia the Ministry was carried with cheering,
