biß land as well as to the £36,800. As i« lawyer, I believe he would be able to make his claim good, not only to the money, but to.all:.the unsold la d. This was awarded as epeoial damage. When be made the offer he was willing to take five per cent. off. (Laughter.) The amount of land awarded was between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand acres. But after a little i negotiation he was willing to take £36,800. I did nor. see that because it was not £36,800 that was awarded, but £36,800 worth of scrip, I did not see that land was necessarily worth ten shillings or. a pound an acre. It was not the amount of money that was awarded. It was on this point we took separate views and could not come to an agreement. Wcqnarrelled, and I t<:ld him there was no use attempting to deal ai y further, and unless he should get some one to deol for him, wh«i would ni.t be merely ntTiCted by personal influences, it was no use Irving to make a bargain. That did not look' like acting in his interest- He agreed to leave the matter in thehnnds of two neutral persons. ("Name.") I will not name. These two gentlemen had many .interviews with me, and gradually they came down from £36,800 to £25,000. I came up, from, I.think, £18,000 to £22,500. They came down to £23,000, aud there we remained. It doubtful whether we should make a bargain or not. It was now left a question to be determined in three days one way or other. If it were not settled the whole thing was to be off. Now this land sciip could be exercised whenever any piece of land in the province was put up for sale. I imme diately saw it was not for the public interest that this s-houkl be the case, and that if we wanted to introduce immigrants^ under such circumstances, we would be committing a gross fraud, in bringing people here who must, either buy Busby's scrip or be driven to compete against it. There was no safeguard that a man v ould not be run out by this scr p, and t was asserted that it would be out of the way under such circumstances. I con sented to give this £23,000 in exchange for the scrip which locked m> the lands of tbe pro vince for an indefinite period. I consider that in doing so I made a good bargain for the province. (Cheers.) We could not get out of it. The effect of this arrangement was to settle a money debt upon the province, in stead of a large land claim, and I can tell you, for my part, it is much easier to get out of a money debt than of an enormous land claim of that sort. I think any member of the Assembly who hears me will admit that it would be a difficult thing to get an Act repeal ing the Busby land claim —whereas it would not be so diflicult to transfer this money liability, in the event of some possible contingency—such as a change of Ministers - under which it could be wiped out by the stroke of a colonial treasurer's pen. (Loud cheers ) I have not entered into the question whether Mr. Busby had a right to this award ; but here is the award made ; and, in common honesty, we are bound by it, whether it i.* wrightful or wrongful Instead of having the lands of the province locked-up by this scrip, the liability has become a money debt. ' great deal has been said of my paying this money without the authority of the Provincial Council. I won't deny that there is some little truth in all this — that I may have taken a somewhat autocratic step; but 1 believe I have done the best that could he done for the province. I would rather not have done it, if there had been any escape. Only three days were left to complete the arrangement, and under those circumstances L. had no hesitation iv acting upon my own responsibility, and ap pealing to the community whether I had not made a fair and honest bargain. (Loud cheers.) I consider that anyone placed in a position of power—whether he be a Colonial Minister or Superintendent of- a province—must, at times, exercise his power, and perhaps stretch his power for the benefit, of the public. If he be not prepared to act upon his own responsi bility upon such occasions, he is not entitled to be the governor of a community. I was going to tell yon.how I raised the money for this bargain". I consulted the Colonial Treasurer upon the subject ; he was cognisant of the whole transaction. I asked him how I was to raise the money. We talked over it some time, and then went to the bank, and talked to them upon the subject. 1 found that if I got an endorsement of the Colonial Treasurer they would put the loan through. The Govern ment were exceedingly glad to see this matter settled. The Colonial Treasurer gave this guarantee, and there it is, in writing, on the Council table. I may have done wrong, but if I did, the Colonial Treasurer is particsps criminis." There was an advance given by the bank to the.ex'ent of £23,000, but it never was debited to the provincial accDu t. It was never taken out of the provincial moneys, and it remains on the books of the bank, on the faith of that loan which is-to be raised by the General Government. There never has been a single penny of this money drawn from the provincial account. But I made a further arrangemenf. Formerly we got no interest on provincial money lying in the bank. I managed to make an arrangement with the bank that they were to charge seven per cent, for this overdraft of JE23,0 JO, but on the other hand, they were to give us seven per cent, for our provincial balance. The consequence was, that our balance becoming shortly afterwards heavy, we had little interest 1o pay—nut £lsoou the whole thing. (Cheers.) I say that I did a good thing lor the pro vince in being able to get. rid of this incubus over its l»nds. Unless we did ?o, we could not ..introduce immigrants into the province, or take advantage of the public works scheme. We have to pay £1,380 a year, but it is cheaper to do that, and have our lands so that we may settle, immigrants upon them., There is only one other topic that 1 need call your attention to, and that is the vexed question which is called protection. To those who have studied the subject, and have really attended to political economy— who understand what protection ami free trade .mean on one side and on the other —I have no hesitation in declaring that I am a ■itaunch freetrader. (Cheers and hisses.) I : , never blink .my . conviction*. (A voice: P"You won't do.") I care not whether I will do; or not. I speak to those who are acquainted with i the meaning of the terms protection and tree trade. I find that greal ignorance prevails on these terms, pro tec tionists?.oa'.lng themselves freetraders, and free-traders calling themselves protectionists. The Colonial Treasurer calls himself an en courager of native industry. Were Ito take thim at. bis word—the words that have been published, and if he were truly sincere iin ! J( b4s application of them, he

would have told you plainly what he was. The language is not that of a protectionist, but that of a free-trader. In fact, it exempli fies the old story, "The hand vas the hand of Esau, but the voice was ihe voice of Jacob." (Hear, hear, and cheers.) For though a staunch free-trader will go as far as anyone in the encouragement of native industries, and I apprehend I have shown it by my acts and works, because I have spent money on it in carrying the idea out, and that is more than other people do who call out loudly for pro tection. I apprehend those will call out moat loudly for protection who are least deserving of it. If you will look around you will find that- those people want protection who want protection against their mortgages —against their own laziness and want of enterprise What we want is the encourage ment of native industry. Truly, I agree with that, and will grant it to the utmost extent. I want to see native industry encouraged by the raw material that can be made-up by native industry being admitted free of duty— by providing the material to exercise the in dustry upon it, and not by taxing Ihe raw material. I want to see industry get its niateiial at the cheapest rate ; and I want in dustry to exercise itself at the highest possible rate by feeding itself at the cheapest rate. For, if you raise the price of food, just as surely must you raise the price of wages. Not with* advantage to labour, mind you, for you have to raise the price of labour, and you destroy industry in consequence ; for you know well that the great difficulty in a new conutry like this of getting reproductive and profitable industry is the difficulty of getting labour cheap enough. I am not an advocate of cheap labour, unless you can get it cheap and paying the labourer as well; and that is only to be done by letting him have the necessaries of life at the cheapest possible price; and for that reason I say, unhesitatingly, that any proposal to put a duty on flour and corn is a fatal poiicy—that it is making a mis take — a fundamental mistake in political economy. For it is no use saying the baker "will not charge any more for a loaf if you put on £1 a ton duty on flour. I have heai-d it has been stated that the baker will not charge more for a loaf if they pay £1 a ton more for flour. Sup posing it is so, supposing that no one pays more for the loaf if the baker pays £1 more for flour, who loses the pound ?—(A voice : " Nobody.")—l apprehend the baker must he the loser. But how about the native industry of baking? is that encouragement to native industry? (Laughter.) Ihe whole thing is founded on fallacy. Food every man must have. All industry is founded on food. Labor is founded on food. That is the fuel that brings up work, and if you raise the price of that fuel you must raise the price of labor. Keep down the price of that fuel and you will get cheap labour. You will get the laborer cheap, and he will thereby be enabled to make his labour cheaper. That is the foundation of all political economy and of all five trade. It is to enable the labour producer to live ceaply, that is the object in the first in stance, to reduce taxation upon the raw material that can be manufactured in the co lony, and on the other side —for here is the difference between free trade and protection)—the one would tax the manufac tured commodity for the sake of keeping it out, and for the sake of the producer in the colony, and the other would not. If a reve nue must be raised to a certain amount on a tariff, he will simply put that tariff, that tax, on articles which can be produced in the colony, rather than on those which cannot be produced in the colony. But that was not the proposal of the present Government. I have got the little tariff arrangement of the present G-overnmer.t here, and I find that the arrangement of that tariff, instead of being in favor of the colony as against outsiders of the colony, is an arrangement by which the bur dens are transferred from the South Island to the North Island. And the Colonial Trea surer as much as admitted that the other evening, inasmuch as he admitted that it would have, a slight effect on the North Island. The articles on which duty is charged are those which we don't produce here as ex porting commodities—flour, wheat, barley, oats, hay, chaff, and—eggs ! I don't know about the last, they are charged at per cubic foot. When I read to you those things which are decreased, you will think to your selves as to whether they are things by which you will benefit. Sugar is to be decreased one shilling. From that you will get some benefit. Bags, bales, and wool packs, are to come in free now, as if we cannot produce them. Fencing is to come in free. I apprehend that is for the accommodation of runs at the South. Nails, tacks, rivets, weighing machines, grindery, and pegs, these are the only articles on which there is a free reduction. Copper manufactures I do not, think we can produce them, or cabinetware and lacqueredware. Arsenic, quicksilver, spirits of tar j I have a sort of vague idea that these are used for sheep washing. (Laughter.) And that is what it means, that this tariff is so constructed as to mean only an addition of about £18,000 to the taxation of the North Island, and a coiresponding reduction of the taxation of the South Island. That is not what I call protection, at any rate, for this part of the country. lam fully prepared to support the encouragement of native industries in the mode in which I hive mentioned —cither by lei ting in the raw material for it free, or when the revenue requires a tax to be put on, to put it on the manufactured article that we can produce ourselves —or by giving a bonus or an encouragement to the production of any article for the purpose of starting it. And I could not say it better than the Colonial Treasurer said it the other night here, that it ought to be temporary. "We take as the basis of stimulating aid which we desire to see given—that the industry chosen to be aided shall be only such as the circumstances of the country will make so successful that one. may feel convinced that within a reason able period after those industries have been helped to obtain a fair footing, the article produced by those industries will be more cheaply supplied to consumers, without a continuance of aid, than would have been the case had temporory aid not been given." I cordially coincide with that, but do not co incide with the policy which will impose, by a tariff arrangement, a tax on the raw mate rial, for there is the difficulty; for probably those who have not studied Assembly pro ceedings will not see it distinctly. It is dif ficnlt to get a tax off, when once it is on. When you put on a tax to encourage an in dustry, it is difficult to get it off just when you

wish. It is a matter which will require great agitation to get off, especially a tax on food. But I will not go further into the argu ment. I did not come here for that purpose. It will have to be fought out hereafter, and I shall be prepared to go fully into the matter at the proper time. I have stated my views freely, and if they suit you —well. These are my views, and from those views I will notbudge for votes, or anything else. There is just one thing else. You have been advised to send down members to go on one side, to support each other, and yet you have been told that party government is the essence of good go vernment. Where will be the party, if you send them all on one side. The cry seems to be that everyone who will not bow down to these borrowed millions will be ostracised. Every one is to bow down abjectly to money bor rowed ; and if anyone will not accept the dictum of an autocrat, he is to be ostracised and hav3 nothing to say in the government of the country. If ihut is your view, I will bow to it. I don't think it will be to your in terests to drive out the men who have the interests of the province at heart, and not only at heart but in their pockets also—to drive them out for the sake of those who are merely gaping after borrowed millions. It has been stated that during the last session of the Assembly your representatives were, as on previous occasions, rendered powerless by being divided. Gentlemen, a more utter fallacy was never propagated by any Pres3. I hold in my hand an examination made by myself of every division list that took place last session, and I defy you to find them divided on any important question. During the last se-sion the Auckland members were more unanimous than upon any pre vious occasion, and on all important ques tious they were all but unanimous. Upon no important questions upon which any number of members voted, was I in'opposition to the majority of the Auck land member*, on no important occasion. I could give you the time on which each member of this province voted in a minority of the Auckland members. I shall not do so, however; it might look invidious in some oases, and I have no wi»h to raise any per sonal feeling. All I can fay is that if any gentleman doubts the fact, he is at liberty to examine the returns in Hansard where he will find 1 hat the Auckland members, on im portant questions, voted nearly unanimously, the exceptions being only one or two. You may very well guess that the Auckland mem bers had some command in the House last session—t >at they carried some weight in the House, when such strenuous efforts are now being made to have such members returned as voted in favour of the Ministry. If they were unworthy of being attached to any party you would not have seen these strenuous efforts made to gain,them. I venture to ap peil to the representatives here to-night, whe ther I am not correct in saying that on all im portant subjects they were all but unanimou-. It has been suggested that I have taken but gloomy views on the future of the province. It would be weM fo those who talk ol gloomy views if they had invested as much in it, or lost as much in it, as I h-ive. I believe, if properly administered, and if not smothered by an immense access of debt, and without an access of inferesf, that we must pay to the foreign capitalists,—if we can tide over the next few years, I have no fears for the future. Industry and economy are the essentials of progress; but if we are to accept the doctrine that borrowing is the essential of progress, we shall have dear cause to rue But my desire will be, that with these bor rowed millions authorised by the Acts of the Assembly, that they shall be carefully, pro perly, judiciously, and economically expen ded ; that they shall be backed by industry to make them reproductive ; that they shall not be squandered on place hunters, and in works that will not be reproductive ; and if I could see that the members of the present Minis try would act on that principle, and not talk so much about it, I for one, should be willing t > aid them in that which they propose. There are many senti ments —there is no occasion to say more at the present time — probably before the writs are out I shall address you again. I shall be very happy to answer any questions you may put to me.—The speaker sat down amidst loud and pro'.o-iged cheering. — Mr. Hurst: I should like to ask Mr. Gillies his opinion on the Civil Service Act?—Mr. Gilliea : I was not in the Assembly in 1866 when the Civil Service Act w.vs passed ; but my long-cherished opinions are entiivly opposed to it. lam entirely op posed to the system of giving pensions. I believe in paying men well, and leaving it to their discretion to invest for the future. That Act was passed in 1866, without a single voice being raised a ainsfc it.— Vlr. Carr : Will Mr. , Gillies support in the Hou3e of Ropresenta ! tives a bill giving the resi lents of a district the power to support a public - house ?— Mr. Hi Hies s I do think the residents of a district should have some interest in the matter. I do not think that the resi tents by a majority should have the power to exclude a public-house in a district, but they should have a fair opportunity for having their rea sons heard for not granting a license.— Mr. Philips : You say the Auckland mem bers have done their duty in the last session. What is the reason you contest the seat with them at the present time ?—Mr. Gillies : I am not now coming forward in opposiiion to the sitting members. I can only say that in regard, to one of those membeis—Mr. D-ignan—l have had great pleasure in acting in concord with him on almost all occasions, and on all occasions where we differed, of finding myself acted against fairly and honestly and straightfor wardly; and in regard to the other member, Mr. Williamson, Ihadverygoodrcasoufor believing that he would not come forward again when I received the requisition.—Mr T.B.fcliilmoved a vote of confidence in Mr. Gillies.—Mr. Eastwood seconded tbe motion, which was carried by an overwhelming majority, only six hands in the negative.—Mr. George moved and Mr. Gillies seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried by acclama tion.— three cheers were given for Mr. Gillies, after which the meeting separated.
