MEMORANDA.

MEETINGS

This Evening.

Mr. Wright’s Committee, at the Secre tary’s Office, Moore Street, at 7.30 o’clock. Ashburton Volunteer Corps, at Shear man’s Sample Rooms, at 7.30 o’clock.

The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser With which is incorporated the "Evening Echo"). THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1879.

Volunteer Corps. —A meeting of the proposed Yolunteer Corps will be held this evening at Mr. Shearman’s sample rooms at half past seven o’clock.

Mr. Wright’s Candidature.— A meet ing of gentlemen comprising Mr. Wright’s committee will meet this evening in the secretary’s office Moore-street (next the Hoad Board office), where supporters willing to act on the committee are re quested to attend.

Presbyterian Church Induction Ser vice.- —On Tuesday the induction service in connection with the inauguration of the Rev. A. M. Beattie’s pastorate of the Ashburton Presbyterian Church, will be held in the church in Havelock street, West. The Rev. Mr. Blake will preach, and the Rev. Mr. Elmslie preside, and conduct the induction service. The pastor will be addressed by the Rev. C. Fraser, and the congregation by the Rev. Mr. MacCallum. The duty of expounding Presbyterian principles has been entrusted to the Rev. Mr. Hill. In the evening a tea meeting will be held in the Town Hall at which the above-named clergymen and others will speak, and the church choir will supply sacred music. There is every prospect of a large meeting. A Large Native Runanga House, which has recently been built at Kakiri kiri, is about to be opened with some for mality. The opening is to take place, we hear, to-morrow week, and a considerable gathering of natives will probably be in attendance. We learn that Sir W. Fox has presented the tribe who have erected the house with a handsome chandelier, to hang in the centre and enlighten their deliberations. A number of Europeans will probably be in attendance, as the opening ceremonials are to partake of the nature of a festive gathering after the pakeha style. The event is looked for ward to with considerable interest by the various native tribes at the different settle ments on the coast, all of which will doubtless be well represented. Invitations have been sent to a good many settlers in the adjacent districts, and a pleasant social meeting of the two races is antici pated.—“N.Z. Times,” 13th August.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Autumn is proverbially the season of sickness : then the blood requires purification, the diges tion demands thorough and attentive regula tion, and all the secretions call for correction. Holloway’s remedies supply all the necessaries for securing health; the one overcomes cuta neous diseases, sores, ulcerations, abscesses: carbuncles and all visible imperfections; the other acts most potently in cleansing the emu lation, strengthening the stomach, governing the liver, regulating the bowels and reducing the entire system to order. Thus these twin medicaments furnish the most efficient medi cine chest available for family use, It is easier, through Holloway’s discovery, to point out the remedy than to describe the diseases into the former no fallacy can intrude ; into the latter prejudice may unwillingly creep.

THE COLERIDGE ELECTION.

Mr. Wright’s Meeting in the Town Hall. Last night Mr. E. G. Wright’s first meeting with the electors was held in the Town Hall. On no previous, occasion has such a large assemblage been gathered in the building, and though towards the end of the meet ing when the speaking fell into the hands of individual electors, the meet ing was somewhat noisy and demon strative a fair hearing was given to both candidates, Mr. Hart being also on the platform, and taking part in the meeting.

The Mayor ivas chairman and intro duced

Mr. Wright, who on rising was received with loud applause. He said he did not appear before them from any feeling of dissatisfaction with Mr. Hart, nor from any motives of personal ambition, but in response to the request of a meeting held there last week, and whether he was elected or not he would feel he had, in coming forward, dis charged public duty. He was a colonist of twenty years’ standing, but he was a young politician and had fought more in the battle with nature than in the arena of politics, His views might not be acceptable to some, but such as these views were, he would state them without ambiguity. He had hesitated to come forward on the last occasion, and on this occasion, not because lie was afraid of hard work, but because he was afraid he would not be equal to the task that would be imposed upon him, if he were successful, of representing such a district. To do justice to it, would require two or three members instead of one. Mr. Hart was an- old colonist, with an unblemished name, and he did nor think there was a man to be found who could say one word against him as a gentleman. Mr. Wright would speak that night on some ques tions, notes of the heads of which he had made, and the first he chose was RE-DISTRIBUTION OF SEATS. It was a great, and should be for Coleridge the dominant, question, and not only for Coleridge but for Canter bury, and until that question was pro perly settled there was no hope of ever having their wants properly seen to. If they took a population basis, Can terbury, instead of having only four teen members in the House would have eighteen, and Nelson with nine would only have six, while if the land tax were taken as the basis of re presentation a still larger increase would be given. Mr. Wason had at tempted to remedy this anomaly, but he was only a private member, and his efforts were not successful. He would certainly advocate an equitable read justment of seats. In regard to

TIRENNIAL PARLIAMENTS this was a young colony, and changes occurred so frequently as to justify an appeal to the constituencies oftener than once in five years. But he did not anticipate any very great result from a change from quinquennial to triennial parliaments. The latter would enable the electors to put a greater check upon their members, though he scarcely thought there was a member in the House who would refuse to resign if his constituency asked him to do so. He would be very thick skinned if he did. He would support the triennial duration, but it would not make old silk new. The next question he would treat on would be the FRANCHISE EXTENSION. The importance of this question had been overrated. There was scarcely a man in the colony who could not if he chose, get on the electoral roll of the district in which he resided. He had known men in the country living in whares who had registered and got votes. Sawmillers in bush districts had put the names of their workmen on the roll without difficulty, and this showed that the franchise was not so very limited. He held, however, that a man who had lived in the colony long enough to learn the nature of its re sources and its circumstances was en titled to a vote. He thought six months’ residence, as had been sug gested in the last Bill before Parliament, was too short a probationary period, and would support its extension to twelve months. Any man possessing a property qualification should be allowed to register at any time during the year. It was less the principle of the Act than the machinery that was at fault, and the present system should be simplified so that a man need not be disfranchised for a whole year because be had been guilty of twenty-four hours’ neglect in the matter of registration, or because he was ignorant of the working of the Act. He had had more experi ence of working men in his life-time than had fallen to the lot of many, and' he could say they had as broad and en lightened views as the wealthy classes had, and possessed a sense of honor and fair play that would shame many who claimed to be socially their betters. Pie could not see how any politician could well refuse an extension of the franchise so as to include every honest man in the community qualified as he had indicated. PUBLIC WORKS.. This was a matter of paramount im portance to this district as well as to the whole colony. In times when great loans were being spent in works over the colony—when two or three millions were being expended on public works, it behoved every man to be watchful over that expenditure to see that it was judiciously laid out,- and that' ar incubus of debt was not piled

up that was not counterbalanced by a return from the works fur which it was contracted. Loans once expended could not be expended again, but such questions as franchise, &c., could be disposed of at anytime, and could wait for settlement when there were no more loans to spend. The question on which the late Government was turned out of office was one of admin istration of public works, and the charge of maladministration was well founded. In Otago large sums of money had been spent on public works never sanctioned by Parliament, while works in Canterbury had been neglected. They* had heard a great deal recently of the Oxford and Temuka line, which was a prominent item on the great Public Works Statement of last year, but not a single sixpence had had yet been expended upon it; while, in the North Island, a railway had been constructed without any sanction from Parliament at all. A fair bill of indict ment for neglect of Canterbury could be made out against Government. He then alluded to the impounded Land Fund. Government had refused to hand over to the local bodies of Canterbury the sum of 00,000, and it was put forward as an excuse that the money was being held back for the Lyttelton Harbor Works Loan, but sums of a much larger amount had been expended in the Waikato and if they had read the evidence in regard to that affair, they would find some startling statements. If Government really meant to do fairly by Canterbury there was no rea son why that 000 should not be forthcoming.

INCIDENCE OF TAXATION. This was a question difficult to handle. The whole country objected to any increase of taxation, and taxation was objectionable to every man. Still, it was the only means of taking the country out of financial difficulties. In regard to the land tax, it had been said it was wrong to tax improvements and manufactures because we thereby taxed industry. He would ask, why should we tax land alone, which tvas the source of all wealth and the backbone of all industry ? The question was a difficult one, and he saw no way out of it except by the imposition of an income tax, objectionable in itself, to be sure, but it would reach all classes of the communitjr. The wealthy doctor and solicitor, and others who now paid no direct taxes, would, through an income tax be made to contribute to the colony in proportion to their means. He did not claim exemption of the land from taxation; the land tax was perfectly legitimate, but do not tax land and exempt every other kind of property. It had been stated by more than one gentleman of experience that the land tax had frightened away capital from the colony, and he could readily believe it after the threats of the Premier that, he had tasted blood and would have more. Such threats were injudicious by the Premier of the colony, and were he (Mr. Wright) an outsider he would hesitate before he invested his capital in the country. He would not favor class taxation, but would contend for every man contributing according to his means, and nothing more. FREE TRADE, Free trade had a pleasing sound. They heard demanded free trade in politics, religion, &c., but the time had come when free trade pure and simple could no longer apply to the condition of this colony. It produced a large amount of breadstuff's, and an outlet to -these required to be found. They could not be all agriculturalists, and he would advocate the opening up of other fields of industry. To do this a first step would be a repeal of the grain and timber duties. If an abundant har vest should be the lot of the farmer in New Zealand, he found his surplus barley of little use for anything except horse feed, owing to the import duties he had to encounter in neighboring colonies. If he had a bad harvest and a small yield, the influx of grain from California prevented him from obtain ing such prices as the scarcity from our own soil would naturally lead him to expect. It was only right when our neighbors put an import duty upon our grain we should put a mutual restrictive tariff upon theirs, and so protect our selves, and encourage our own produc tion. Then as to timber. He had seen-furniture made from New Zealand timber that could not be surpassed by anything grown out of the colony, and to encourage the timber trade on our own shores, and the wood-workers’ in dustry in New Zealand he would urge the imposition of a tax on all timber brought firito the country. There were other trades such as the manufacture of drain pipes—in which the outlay was almost wholly for labor, the raw material being plentiful, which he would protect by import duties, and many thousands of pounds might be kept in the colony if, by placing our own manufacturers on an equal footing with foreign producers, our own products came into common use amongst us. The market was glutted with American carriages and buggies, and an import duty on these would protect and encourage the same industry here. EDUCATION. Settlers’ minds were pretty well made up on this matter, and he would rather adopt the opinion of men who had given time and thought to the subject than put fonvatd any opinion of his own but be thought education should be free and unsectarian. Otago gentle men had advocated the introduction of! the JBible as a lesson book into the !

schools, urging that if Bible truths were inculcated in early youth they would crop up in men’s minds with a beneficial effect in after years, perhaps when the men were far away. This may be so : he was not prepared to controvert that statement. But the question was one of difficulty. If the Bible was read in schools, even with a conscience clause, those children who were compelled to be present—while others who were not allowed to hear the Bible read were permitted to clear out of school—would look upon the Bible lesson as a punishment and the book would be put before them in a false light. It was better to give an unsectarian education and discard the book from the schools altogether.

LICENSING LAWS. He would advocate the equalisation over the colony of the license fees, and prevent if he could the adulteration of liquor. He was not a teetotaller, but whatever measure would reduce the terrible waste of means that arose from drunkenness would have his entire sup port. Sobriety by Act of Parliament was an impossibility, but immunity from poisoned liquor could be brought about by legislation, and this he would aim at by the appointment of analysts to examine the liquor sold, with a view to the detection of impurity. He was not sure that the stamina of Englishmen was any better, now that they were soaked with tea and coffee, than it was in the days when good home-brewed ale was every man’s drink, and when 70 years ago tea was a guinea a pound. They had in New Zealand—in Nelson —the best hops grown in the world, and their barley here could not be beaten, so that the beer industry ought to be encouraged.

DEFERRED PAYMENTS. This matter of land on deferred pay ments did not seriously affect Canter bury at this late hour of the day, as all the good land had been sold, and it was ciuelty to offer settlers land on the slopes of the mountain. The reserve of a mile wide from Ashburton to Orari had been put up for sale on deferred payments, but in such a way that those who wanted any of the patches into which it had been cut had to bid against each other for them, so that the last penny might be dragged out of them. This was not the way to settle the land on deferred payments. The sections ought to be put up for sale at a fixed price, and a ballot taken when more than one applicant applied for any particular piece. He would also advocate a better title to the land being given to those who bought it on deferred payments, so that they could enter the market for an advance to help them over a bad season. In regard to the upset price of waste land it was 40s. (with the spending of 255. per acre on improvements implied) in Canterbury, 20s. to 30s. in Gtago, while in the North Island it could be secured for ss. or 10s. if the Chief. Surveyor could be got to certify that it was not fit for agri cultural purposes. This was done to his knowledge, and all the reason that seemed to exist for the land not being agricultural was that it was not as level as a bowling green. If by any chance a settler had run up the price of a piece of land to £ 1 he was hounded out of the district. Sir George Grey con founded the runholders of Canterbury with those of the North Island, but there was scarcely a holder on the Canterbury plains who had not got all his land bought over his head.

THE WAIMATE PLAINS DIFFICULTY. Goverment found the land revenue enormously deficient, and were in too great a hurry to remedy the falling off to take into consideration the just claims of the Natives to the land on the Waimate plains. Had the sur veyors sent: to the plains been instructed to mark off the land belonging to the Natives by right of promise made by previous Government’s there would have been nothing heard of the Native difficulty. The Maoris may not be able to speak our language fluently, but they were an intelligent race, and ought to be treated fairly. They were en titled he thought to sympathy, and the mild course they had adopted in re sisting the encroachments of Govern ment upon their rights showed that they could act with firmness as well as forbearance. After inviting questions on any subject that he may have omitted Mr. Wright concluded his speech, which was interrupted through out with frequent and hearty applause.

QUESTIONS. Mr. G. J. Martin wished to know Mr. Wright’s views on the immigration ques tion. Mr. Wright said the colony could not yet do without immigation, but it ought to be regulated to suit circumstances. It should be stopped in times of de pression. The Stadt Haarlem experi ment was a failure. It was tried by Mr. Macandrew simply to bring a big steamer into Otago Harbor. In reply to Mr. Athelstane Parsons, Mr. Wright said the Victorian colony was an example of the disadvantage of an elective Upper House. He would support a nominated Upper Chamber, and the limitation of the term of service to ten years. Mr. Wright, in reply to Mr. G. M. Robinson, recapitulated the history of Sir George Grey’s attempt to introduce the Maori dual vote, and added that the Pill was rejected by a nominated Upper House. Mr. James Wilkie ashed if Mr. Wright would favor a tax on wool. Miners paid for the right to enter upon a piece of land 6oft. by 6oft., and

2s. per ounce on the gold they took out of it, while, the squatter paid 10s. a year for the) use of 100 acres, with no tax whatever on the wool they raised. If wool were, taxed it would tend to keep it in the colony, and induce a cultivation of wool manufactories here.

Mr. Wright said there was no analogy between the miner and the wool raiser The tenant of the Crown was not the only producer of wool, and the miner had all the machinery of the Warden’s court, the police, and the escort put specially in motion for his benefit. The gold-mining industry was one that, should be cherished by the colony as it opened a market for provisionsp'and-as railway across the Middle Island wopld greatly tend to the fostering of gold mining. - * •***»

Mr. Hart—Will Mr. Wright support;id Sir George Grey’s administration ? Mr. Wright Certainly net. The : I Premier should be a man with a higher respect for honor and truth than Sir George had proved himself to be. y Mr. Ivess asked if he would support ' Sir Win. Fox. : .

Mr. Wright said the measures before the colony would be passed without ■ the help either of Sir G. Grey or Sir 5 w. Fox. -

Mr. Wright did not see the use of a secret institution like the Native office. He was not in favor of re ducing the honorarium nor of cancelling/ members free passes, but he thought one-third of what they had drawn for the session just dosed should have sufficed.

Mr: Hart then addressed the meeting shortly. He condemned the present Government which was not yet “the late ” Government as Mr. Wright had put it, but the existing one, which' ) would continue to exist unless mem- • bers were returned pledged to turn it. out. Mr. Wright was scarcely so Liberal, he thought, as himself, and he : was sorry he had been prevailed upon . to come forward as between the two a Grey supporter might step in when the votes were divided.

Mr. David Wilson, Wakanui, moved: —That in the opinion of this meeting . Mr. E. G. Wright is a fit and proper person to represent Coleridge* in the House of Representatives.

Mr. St. Hill asked it Mr. Hart, would have the kindness to retire in favor of Mr. Wright. , ;

Mr. Hart was in the hands of a large number of gentlemen who had asked him to come forward.

Mr. J. E. Buchanan spoke at some length in favor of Mr. Wright. Mr. Hugo Friedlander would move “ That this meeting thanks Mr. Wright no and Mr. Hart for their addresses this evening, but will take time to consider - their views before pledging itself to the f support of either.” Mr. Williamson, who was frequently interrupted, seconded the amendment. Mr. Ivess accused Mr. Hart of trifling with the constituency when he allowed ten days to elapse before appearing before the electors. Mr. Hart. was a silent member in the House, and did not lift up his voice against the Govern ment he condemned. When last returned he never went near the out districts when he found he was to have a walk over. He would get a hot reception at Kowai when he went L there.

Mr. Hart said the Opposition had been continually taunted with hindering the business of the colony, and if the whole 85 members had spoken on the no-confidence motion, the session would not have been, over yet. ,/ j /.

Mr. E. Saunders made some remarks regarding some personal reference to himself in Mr. Ivess’s papers, and then went on to say that Mir. Hart was a gentleman against whose name no whisper had ever been raised, while Mr. Wright’s contract re the Rahgitata Bridge had been animadverted upon. Mr. Wright gave a clear, full and satisfactory explanation of the Rangitata Bridge contract, and said that the piles that had since been driven had been driven after the plan he had suggested at the first.

In answer to some questions regard ing the honorarium, Mr. Hart said he had paired against the vote for the past session. He, however, defended the passing of it, as it would be useful to men who, like himself, required to face a contested election. The amendment and resolution were” then put, arid twenty-four voted for the latter, and a sweeping majority in favor of the former.

The meeting then adjourned, after a-vote of thanks to the Mayor.

A Small Farm Association.— The Wanganui Herald thus details the objects of a projected Small Farm f Association : —“ The promoters of the association have in view an application T to the Government for a portion of .a block of land lately acquired from the ’ natives, and lying between the Tura- ' kina and Rangitikei rivers. The block in question is 156,000 acres in extent,-" and it is said that much of it is avail able for small farm settlement. There is a good deal of light bush, with large open flats, the bulk of it being heavyr bush. It can be approached either by * the Turakina Valley road, frorn Bonny , Glen, or from Marton. When a sufficient number of names have been obtained, the application will be for warded, and the assistance of the mem bers known to be friendly to small . farm settlements requested.”

The last of the London stocks in which drunkards were placed was re moved from St. Clement Danes, Strand, in 1826.
