A SCOTCH NEWSPAPER ON MR SEDDON.

Tt may be a question whether Mr Seddon fails into the class of picturesque politi cians, but there is no question at all of his success in occupying the public eye and in setting a reputation in vigorous growth, around his name. These facts are impor tant to Mr Seddon; they are-still more important to the colony he represents. New Zealand needs some generations of development before it can rank as the chief of His Majesty's dominions over sea. Without disparaging Mr Seddon : and his colony, we must still accord to Canada the palm for historic interest as well as for material strength in the Empire. There is a finish, too, about Sir Wilfred Laurier's opinions, an air of political responsibility, not markedly associated with the aboriginal John Bullishness of New Zealand's "Lanca shire Lad." Nevertheless, by bluulness and frequency of speech Mr Seddon has managed to put his Colony well in the front, thus turning an. amount of attention on New Zealand which may result in solid business. Colonies with food stuffs to sell are none the worse of advertisement, and Mr Seddon will only have done his duty if he exploits the Imperial sentiment in the interests of New Zealand mutton. His speech in London yesterday vaunts, not unduly, the progress of the colony. On the score of finance, of population, of the sound ness of its capital investments, New Zea land's record is one of prosperity, well calculated to excite a sympathetic admira tion in the heart of the mother country. It would be doing Mr Seddon scant justice to omit acknowledgment of his great achievements as a Radical Prime Minister. He woke up the public mind of New Zea land by his vigorous application of the powers of the State to the common good, and this in complete disregard of the socialistic bogey which terrorises old world politicians. ... . . . . . . . ,

So vigorous a personality makes us quake, a little for the outcome of the conferences to be held in London one of these days. Mr Seddon knows what he wants, and is in the habit of getting it. Last night he dwelt once more upon the idea of preferential tariffs, pointing out with infallible truth how good a thing it must be for Britons every where to consume each other's pro ducts rather lhan the products of the foreigner. Taken as a general principle, we are at one with Mr Seddon. Will he carry his point ? Mi- Chamberlain is not going to stick at fiscal trifles, and, as for Sir Michael Hicks Beach, what is the worth of his academic Free Trade scrunles beside the glowing. Anglo Saxonism of New Zea land's Premier ? Sir Michael's staying power will be sorely tested against that of the stalwart New Zealander. Mr Seddon is good enough to disconnect the deliberate policy of New Zealand in regard to prefer ential tariffs from the Corn Tax now being fought in the House of Commons. He quotes the resolution of the Colonial Legis lature passed in December last, showing that his own advocacy originates in colonial opinion, and is not the snatching of an op portunity afforded by a British departure from Free Trade practice. That is very interesting; but in setting the history of the tjuestion straight Mr fcieddon does not debar himself uom using the opportunity of the Corn Tax ouce that it is a fact. He knows the value of a fulcrum. We could wish that Sir peddon's economics wore a little leas tangio.l. Apparently he sees some way of working the -apparatus of pre ferential larilis at uo sacrifice of British fiscal policy, tor in one of his sentences he echoes Sir Michael Hicks Beach's desire for a Zollverein on a Free Trade basis. This, however, is set in the light of a mere pious profession by the argument of other parts of his speech, where he speaks of a rebate in favour of the colonial products to be mot by an equivalent rebate on British products.

Mr SedJon says nothing about the colonial difficulty of raising revenue, supposing tha tariil" relaxed to the advantage oi the British manufacturer j nor does he give any proof of having considered how tariff changes on the British side are to be adjusted to the various needs of widely-separated colonies. Doubtless these are trifling de tails comprehended in the general principle. Mr Seddoii is a little disrespectful to Cobden and only stops short of saying " old shib boleths." The subject would be advanced were he to emulate Cobden's strong grasp of details and cogent reasoning upon essentials. Talking at large is a vain performance. Were. Mr Seddon to tell us precisely upon what commodities a rebate is to bo given by Britain, and upon what commodities a rebate is to be given by New Zealand, wo should get to closer quarters, and be able to test his ideas with the ideas of Canada and other parts of the Empire. As the question stands, we are asked to encourage trade with New Zealand by discouraging trade with infinitely better customers. If Mr Seddon could be retained in this country until he captured the British point of view he would realise that a Zollverein on a Free Trado basis can only come about by the colonial reciprocation of our Free 'Trade practice—and then it would not be a Zollverein.—" Dundee Advertiser."

BUSINESS NOTICES. • FLOATING KIDNEY, DISOEDERED LIVEB, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK M EARNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutfc County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows:—" To Proprie tor Plantekoa. Sir, —I feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I hava been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicines arid lotions for treatment, and in fact I have iodine and other things in the house now that weie supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint men tioned I used to suffer at times most <.«x ---cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side | and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medi cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to nte. About six years ago after playing in a foot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin ia as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition 1 put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands were free. Suißce to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the con dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A EIVAL." Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper for it. Full particulars and testimonials on ap plication to PLANTEKOA PEOPETETAEY, Wellington. WANTED KNOWN—That for Eeal Good Winter Boots and Shoes, at Seasonable Prices, call at J. Moison, for, as in the past, J.

Eoss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Eoss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated istomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you'the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.-—I remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. Fob CYCLING SHOES, GO TO 11.

THE GREAT THROAT AND LUNG CUKE. Tussicura. The true secret of health lies in the pre vention of disease, and for this reason a medicine which not only cures complaints, I but prevents the development of more serious trouble, possesses a special value. Of all such Eemedies TUSSICURA takes pre-eminence, and the phenomenal success it has achieved more than justifies its claim to support. No matter how severe a Cough or Cold may be, a dosa of this wonderful preparation will give instant and permanent relief, acting as it does upon the organs affected and rendering capable of doing the work ordained to them by Nature. It should be remembered that TUSSICURA is ' in no sense a " quack " medicine, but is the invention of an experienced pharmacist, who has given special attention to the study of the throat, lungs, and bronchial tubes. A single trial is sufficient to prove its effi cacy, and those who are suffering from any of the complaints which this mixture pro fesses to cure should not neglect to try it. Price 2s 6d per bottle.
