COMPARISON with ohter OOtONIES,

I will now ask the attention of lion, members to a subject which has 'been float.' ing in the minds ot many people ia a more or less definite shape for some time past. The feeliug has beeu gradually growing of late years, not only here, but in the An.*.' ttalian colonies, fiat the several Got eta-, ments might with great advantage to the' community give some further facilities fir the investment of local capital in small amounts than is afforded by the Post-office Savings Bank. That institution has been a great success in putting within the reach ot thrifty people a place for the safe ' keeping of small savings, and it is satis factory to know that notwithstanding the times we have had for the last 18 months the deposits have steadily increased- It is also a gratifying fact, well worthy oi note, tbat no leas thau five-sixths of the deposits are for sums of less than £50. The Government think it possible that many af these depositions, as well as the public generally, might be glad for a more permanent form of investment if one can be provided, which is at the same time secure and easily convertible into cash. I;: shall, thetefore, submit for the consider^ ation of the House a Bill antheming the issue at par of a loan of £250,000,' the principal and interest of which will be pay. > able in New Zealand only. I propose thai1 the loan shail bear interest at a rate not ex ceeding five per cent., and that it shall be-' issued in the form of inscribed stock, with the right to the subscriber to obtain from' time to time honds payable to hear of £10' aud upwards. The advantages of such: a farm of investment will doubtless require some time to be generally understood, bui If a local market can be once created- (as '■ 1 thinn it may be with judicious manage, ment), the stock -would be found a great public conveaience, as 'a means of temporary as well as of more perma. i manent investment. It is possible that the time for such a 5 per cent, stock has not arrived,-and, if so, the-proposal will - fall to the ground, and we shall have learned at any rate negatiuelv something about our power of obtaining money locally. The time for making the experiment is very opportune, beoause the money market is easy, and we arc not dependant for money _' i upon its success. The Government do'not propose in any way to force this loan;1 recognising that with the object iv view,; that°of supplying a local want, the time; necessary for the proposrl to be undorstood.^ by a wide class must he allowed, hut they; think this offer should be made, and they1' will use all serious endeavours to familiar- ■'■_ ise the public mind witd its nature. "■ The proceeds of the loan it is proposed to use for pu . lie works. Authority will therefore be asked to pay them into the public . works fund, to be dealt wi|;h in due course by parliament, •• !

Before concluding it may be desirable to glance briefly at the progress of the colony since IS7O, and to compare it with , tbat of-, our great neighbour in the seas, v Tbe/ population in IS7O was 245.400; it is now., 489,700—that is, it lias almost doubled in. , fen years. And what, Sir, ; have our two powerful and attractive neighbours, Victoria ! and New South Wales, done during tho : same period . In IS7O ; the population;, of Victoria was 726,599; of Now South Wales, 502,961. They aro now 858.552 and 750,000 -espectively. .. Thus showing an increase in the Victorian, population ef 18 per cent,, and in that of, New South Wales of 40 per cent.,, while in,...' New Zealand the increase has, been 97 per,i cent. Then let us look at the value of our. Q imports and exports in 1870. They were:, respectively £4,639,005 and £4,822,726;... and. lastly, let me compare the net revenue of 1870-71 (exclusive of land sales and. revenue appropriated to local bodies) with that of 1880-81. . In the former year it waa, £2,057,218, In 'the latter £3,123,960,, a. ; ' :difference which is ample to cover all the.'.'. additional interest we have to pay, anii with,,' a good margin to spare to provide for .the, _ increased cost of government. It may, hb^-,'; ever,be'said that this increase in inconiedqfißJ riot arise from natural growth, but from',, the far heavier taxation under which., the country now labours than..,it, did in 18?0. But is this so?. Are we in truth morfl heavily, taxed, than.' in 1870? I venture to think we are not.,; taxed more than in'lß7o, The taxation per ' head then was £3 4s 6d. It is now £3 lis... 9d. But education is now.paid for by tho . State, an additional charge since 1870. If, . tooreforo, the'rate per Load.ot v tlio cost o£,, education (9s'9d) is deducted from the taxa- , tion of 18S0-1, we find that it is less now, by. 2s 6d than it was in 1870. For tbeso and , other reasons we may claim that our irunii- , gration arid'public works scheme bus been fairly succesful.'Had,howcver,the puiposes , of the loans of the period been more pre cisely defined and more strictly adhered to; had the amount of those loans"been limited r as originally proposed,; and had economy.' prevailed from first to last, we should havo ! been able now to affirm without fear of corf- ( . lradiction that they hail' been an eminent-,; success. The Treasurer concluded, with. ia,*"' peroraiion speaking hopefully of tho iutur,e": \ prospects of the country.' ;, .'., '~'.. ,:'.', l ii i ..

! After the delivery of the Financial, State? - ment,- :' "' '..'""" .".._,' --i-,-,,;:, Mr BAllaNce'criticised the statement.,;; He said the failure of the land .fund j and the lavisb'expenditure'of 1879 was,, the cause of the late depression. He, j challenged the truth of the assertion a]ipi}t :; lavish expenditure, asserting that] vphcn,} the present Government' came into, pffice'f tney made ho reductions in the .'estimate,, of., that year's expenditure,; The local govern* -~ ment proposals were nothing, more than a re-; i hash of the proposals of last year the nomi-. ] nated board of public works being again put . forward in an aggravated Shape., The local t todies- could not ajgree, to have, valuation. That schemeought,'to .be., rejected by the' House.;' gThe lanfl.futitO should b'e'kept entirely for tbe.opening,of;,, the country,1 whereas it was proposed to be, expended Upon the' maintenance of rosds ;; already made. 'He thought some ino_),j material reduction!might have .b,epn.,pro«;i posed, in the Customs revenue*., ..Notwith?,,, standing the increase of duties, 'the.income;. of the colony from' trie Cußtoiris showed,, o, ? increase since, 1874. Instead of a local loan x he would liketo see a scheriiefpr't .e.colpnyjj , advancicgmohey at reasonable interest oa n mortgage to small property owners- ~ >; \-..;. Mr Wakefield said Mr.Ballance's speech l was no doubt a prepared one, and might , have suited any other condition of affairs a than that disclosed by the Treasurer.. Be-.-, fore criticising, the previous speaker,might., havo waited a fuller development of the .• proposals set forth in the statement. -, He .j had heard the same speech before in tho House. Mr Ballanee had given it last.; session, -and he thought also the session ; before. ' The Treasurer had not taken any; ■'■, undue credit to himself or to his colleagues.; > He ascribed tho improvement to the revival,; iv trade, arid the wonderful elasticity .of -■■■, the colonial resources, yet the previous - speaker charged him with taking all the : credit to himself. The fact was he had the speech ready made. , He had not time to make_ a new speech adapted to the: occasion. The objection had been taken-.; that tbe local government -finance was' buried in the land fund, now ;that : .Was . exactly what the previous speaker had done . when he was Treasurer in 1878. Whatever s defects the proposal had, these certainly did not lie in the direction of appropriating the land fund, as that was a most legitimate source of revenue for defraying the ex penditure of these local bodies. Mr \ Ballance's proposal to lend out the trust funds on small properties was a proposal . to enable small landowners to borrow, money below the market value. Such a proposal was impractabio. Who coiild , resist the political pressure such a scheme , would give rise? Had the Treasurer pro.., posed that as part of his scliemo, Mr Ballanee (Wanganui) would have been the.... first to cry out against it. Every man in the House.would have said the Treasurer had lost that cool head for which be had always been noted. He defended -. the. incidence of the property taxi which he . contended was more acceptable to the com- ■>' munity than the land tax. The'reduction,: of. the property tax would be welcomed by, tho whole country. It was a sign, that the Government were : dete??-, mined to keep faith with tie,; fax«, payers._ It would answer the purpose for., which it was designed. To his mind it was -.. a guarantee that the ta* would eventually,: be done away with altogether, or rather be;, handed over to be expended by the local. bodies. Upon the whole, tho statement. ( gave a much more favourable account than,, he expected. -,;1 ' "--■ .nt Mr Sfeight insisted; upon the necessity,;, for decentralisation, arid replied to',Mt,> Wakefield. '~ *'. '"-„}♦

Mr Saundebs thought it was due from , both sides of the House to acknowledge tliat the Government had applied itself to the ', work of economy in a manner which,en< , titled it to its gtalitudc from both parties. 2j Mr Hall moved the adjournment of the House at 10.45 a.m., which was carried.
