THE NATIVE TROUBLE AT WHANGAREI.

(Br TBLKGRAHI — OWN COKREsrO^DENT.)

■VTHAKGAKEI, this day.

At the meeting of the Wgapuhis with the obstructive natives here, the Ugapuhls üßed their utmost endeavours ta have the road proceed in its entirety. The natives refused, but Taurau, the native assessor, said lw could not refuse his old friends and allies the road nnd«r.tbe condition that it went round the cultivations. The Haub.au chiefs immediately said if Taurau gave in that much, that wasi to be all; and if there were another attempt to make the road through any native land is tha future, they would rise to a man and prevent it. Ihey then iudignantly retired to their settlement at Kerehuoga. Apparently the danger in smothered for the present, but undoubtedly it smoulders yet, and will burst out at some future day with greater fury. This is only one of the petty pretexts that are eaperly seizoJ upon by the Maoris, to govern by fanaticism, and actually they are masters of the situation, and are well pre pued to remain so. The Resident Magis tiate told them ho would wire their wishes to the Government, as ho could not, of course, accept them without permission, and give them their reply. The JXgapuhi chiefs have continued their journey to Wharekoha to visit Tirirau, who lies dan gerously ill. It is all very well for the Resideut Magis'.rato to be expected to cany out the case, but he has ouly two polictmea against 70 to 100 fanatics, who tan ri-adiiy command two or three hundred more well-armed men.

CORRESPONDENCE.

FOREIGN CAPITAL.

(To the Editor.)

6ib,— as you thought my last worthy a place In >our paper, and I said I could write more on the subject if you would read it, I send yon a few linos. In the first place, when foreign oapifcl is brought here, It is invested on landed security. The land and property-holders are enabled to borrow at low interest, while the industrial classes have to pay high interest in the shape of bills, &c, because they have not the lauded security to offer. The foreign capital causes property to assume a fictitious value, be« cause money being plentiful (while onr national estate is being mortgaged) people are tempted to become speculators. They run propea ty too high by purchasing for speculation, agricultural land to be locked up iu'.place of cultivated, thereby making food [dear, wages and profits low; wages low, because our producing powers are hampered to the extent of the crops lost, and all th's time interest must be paid. The more foreign capital we get, the more we require, as property will still rise in value, until we have a bad harvest, or the English money-lenders put on the screw,' when property will go down to the other extreme. It mu6t bs clear to everyone if property was lower in value we should need • less money. For instance, a man would,. soon get land to build a house if the land was selling at la per foot, whereas it may take him a lifetime to get it at £3 per foot. I contend if we are not speculators, it matters little whether onr property is valued at £1 or £1,000. A system that allows one part of the community to become * rchat the expense of the other part can scarcely be called a liberal system. Again,. property rising in value tempts people to leave Ihe country. If they holion their property and live out of the country they drain our life away in rent, and the higher properly rises in value the rr ore they rob ns and the more of this class is created. The, incomes derived thus are paid by, the goneral public. All this land speculation adds nothing to our national earn ings; on the contrary; it takes our money away in interest; creates drones, thereby lower-, ing wages in proportion as property rises. Foreign capital creates monopolies; it allows the property-holders unlimited capital; will cause the trade to get into / the hands of a few people, who will employ all the labour, and in the end dictate wages^ - I say since foreign capital came in,—or since we commenced borrowing, the pro* ' perty holders have got rich, while the poor increase. The foreign capital demoralises the whole community, it turns the indivi dual, the constituencies, the members, and the Government, into speculator?, The . Government that can give members the most money for their districts will keep in power. We can never get Local Govern- * ment while wo continue borrowing.—l am &C, ROBINSOH CETJSOB,
