MAJOR ATKINSON'S TOUR.

Address on Pauperism and its

llemeilg.

(BY TCT..EGIIUP3—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

CHKISTCHURCa, Tuesday.

Major Atkinson delivered his second ad dress In the Oidfellows Hall, to-night. The Mayor again occupied the chair, and the hall was crowded.

Major AtkinaoD, who was received with lpplause, said be had no love (or the word pauperism,'because he disliked what that word represented. He had corns before them to tell them what he thought of it. He usked tlnm to give careful consideration to what he would say, and sift the bad from the f;ood. Let thorn examine these great auestions outside party feelings, and see if they could arrive at some conclusion for the benefit of the colodv. Last night they saw that the colony was in a favourable position to deal with some of the moit complicated questions of the day. To-night he proposed to consider pauperism, Hs causes and remedy, -nil his exp lienca and reading led him to conclude that as civilisation and v aerial wealth grew, so did poverty. The disparity t etween classes seemed to be widening every day in the old country, and it was the duty of the people to examine each cause of poverty, and see what could be done to remedy it. He would not draw a pictuie of the painful effects' of poverty, but would simply men tion that in G eat Britain £230,009.000 had been put by lust year, after paying all the expenses of the year. 'I he nation was that money richer, yet there were in England 700,01)0 paupers, of whom 111,000 were ! able bodied a'lults, costing the country over £7,000,000. They would see what an enormous miss ot misery there must be. Let them cousider what were the causes of pauperism. He would give the four main oi.e.s, though there were doubtless, other influences at work. The causes were bad lutve, want of thrift, over-population, and crime. He had omitted drink, as he had included it as a subhead under the divisions of thrift and crime. When a man diank more thin be could afford it was want of tlnift; when he carried drink to excess it was a crime. Bad laws were one of the most powerfulcausea. The English Poor Law waa one of the greatest curses inflicted on any country, it was originally an enact ment ia favour of wages. Justices deter mined what amout of pay wouid enable a working man to just barely live, and if the farmers paid him what they thought fit, tbe country made up the difference between that and what the justices had determined to alloy him. But fiscal systems were also to blame for pauperism especially the terribly bud land tenure of old countries. Bad laws had not time to act here, but if the electors did not watch pgainst the introduction of bad laws, they would commit a grave mis take. (A Voice :We always have done). He was glad to hear it, but still his ex perience .did not go to prove it. Want of thrift was considered by m&ny aa the greater, if not the sole cause, of the poverty of the lower classes. He differed from those authorities, so far as old coun tries were concerned. Many leading Liberals lately stated ia their speeches that thrift alone would not help people out of their present poverty, lumbers of the lower classes* did vot r -v t ta.._j&\Billteis_Sib eni!bJ&_Jhi<jm*' 'fiT save enough to prevent poverty in old age. With us it was very different. Wo had not been so thrifty as we should, nor taken advantage of our oppor tunities. We were not only a hard working people, but a hard drinking and smoking people. Last year consumers of drink and tobacco paid away over £3,000,000. he thought everyone, considering this fact must admit that among a population co well housed, clothed and fed as tbe people of this colony weri>, there was great room for saving. This would come out in a strong light when it was known how much was putbyduring theyear. The totalincome of friendly societies was £63,000, the in crease in savings banks £27,000, and the amount of insurance premiums £300,000 j a total of about £600,000, against a drink and tobacco bill of £3,0J0,000. With re gard to over population, for many genera tions to come the world would produce far more go.ds than the human race would consume. Here we wanted moutbs to eat

what grew, aud hands to conquer and cultivate the country. .We were

affected by over-population in one way. We had too many of certain classes in-

stilled in the doctrine of Malthus, as re lating to the world, io general; but no doubt over population seriously affected certain districts, by causing undue competition fur works. It assisted to swell the ranks of the paupers. He would not speculate on tbia cjuestioD, as it did not seem to be practicable. Crime in old countries no

doubt largely swelled the ranks of pauper ism, and it had no doubt added its quota to the number here. We had, however, no criminal cla«s, unless we included the

drunkards, who filled our hospitals, gaols, and asylums, and eauved terrible misery in families It was through dtink the largo number of wife desertions oc curred. Wife desertion would, he hoped, be dealt with next session. The Home Government had passed a /law which would enable this colony to legislate for dealing with the worst of crimes in con junction with other colonies. Three of the four cause) of pauperism were in opera tion in this colony, if in two iuatanoes in only a limited extent, They were to con sider to-night how to. prevent one cause, bad laws coming in ; aud also how to deal with the causes already here. Let them consider what they were doing at pre?ent. They were affording all possible facilities for encouraging private thrift by friendly societies, savings banks, and insurance. He could not speak too highly of the friendly societies, but it must be remem bered that they only cumbered 20,000 males out of 150,000 in the colony. They admitted no women, do one could join them unless in good health, and any mem ber was liable to. loss his benefits if he were unable to keep up his payment. Besides, tho friendly societies could not help unthrifty cases. He hoped he would ! have the full support of the friendly societies in giving effect to the scheme he was about to propose, and from the spirit they had shown he believed they would not be unwilling to help, i Insurance had been worked to a large extent in the colony. The amount insured was £10,000,000, and. the annual premiums £300,000. Two out,of eleven males over

sixteen were insured. Still,: if a man were unfortunate, he might lose the advantage of insurance. Heie, also, the unthrifty class was not touched. Savings banks had done much good to the thiifty classes. The withdrawals were certainly at present large, but that was not evidence of want of thrift. 'I he State was now paying £90,000 a year for hospitals and. for charitable aid, £30,000 being tor the latter. The colony had no able-bodied paupers, hut it has a

large number ol those who from old age and other causes were in indigence. The expen. diture of so large a, sum should make all try earnestly and see wlnt could be dqne to prevent this evil from growing, and to remedy if. What should we do! He would like t > see the people of New Zealand deter mined to stamp out pauperism, and if they sp determined it would be done, His pro« posal was uot chimerical. Be was a prac^ tjcal man if anything, and had had all the various bearings of the subject before him for many years. Pauperism could not be kept down by voluntary associations or.by a poor law. Tho first could not reach the unthrifty, and the other pre-s'upposed the existence of a pauper class. Tbe people must make up their minds whether to accept pauperism, and deal with it by poor laws, or deal with it on rational principles, and so stamp it out. They had to consider whether they would deal with pauperism by educating the people to thrift, by good laws and voluntary effort, and making the laws bo perfect as to provide work tor all, He did not think this was prßsible, If the evil mu*t be dealt with directly, soma means must be dovised to do g", There was no means >.f dealing with it except by the State, which in si democratic < ouptry espe cially, had a right to make all citixe- s pro vide in youth for sickness and old ag \ As to tho proposi'icm he submitted to the House last session, he would not trouble them with much of its details, but he wasted them to understand i;s principles. No doubt there were nia'<y men in lhu colony who ould form a scheme. If tUe principles were accep'ed, he would at some fu;ura time submit the details of a scheme—probably in piint, for all read and could make sug gestions on lii.9 scheme which was not im practicable. The only difficulties in its way were those inseparable from any large and new scheme. He had proposed that each pemon should make a weekly payment, either from 18 years to 23, of 33 3d, or from 10 to 23, of 2i 3d, In return for this each was entitled to jjet 15s a week when sick up to (15, and after that age an annuity of 10s per week. This scheme would produce habits of thrift, and in a few years people would not feel it as a burden. The present population over 18 years old wera not affected, still it was a question whether they iihould not contribute, accord ng to age, to a sick fund. This would rovtfs m Vm whole population except

widows and orphans. He had m 1 suggestions to provide for them i. c tv ° that every man and woman should a week for five years- from 23 to & y ? 3 a>ain, the country were to atinlv th* & the Crown lands to this purpose ,1 n^ 1 ' funds would beprovid lV t £ V efe : widowH and orphans ot the fnw U the ' tion.

Noonoffihe'SS^'' ment could manage it,, aa its manaSl: by private individuals presupposed ?! existence of that clas, which it wasSLS - .. to prevent. Then it was said that 5h ; subjects did not like compulsion '~J ■ oirliued coantiies pe.-.ple hod to submit to compuls.op. They were sometimes not: allowed, for instance, to build iSoto- ■" houses, or to keep pigs •JheWh-^' were now het^&^^a^A and mrely lfc was justifiable domf pulsion to compel ea-h tin 5 tor himself It lid been *M «£"& youn X cmld not afford to pay what wL t e I'»r^.. lf,fccre true there m&t something dsTefrw y , rotten in the state d' the oountijp flK GOL»>re so he w3 - have dimiTW, gooum rooting out Z > ' terrible far.t that the whole coontrTS " resting on a rotten bads., If it were tS - the cause should be found out and.ba xti& ' :?

As to those per ona; who could not pay-idiots and,,sica- 0 - course the State would have to' tiav f« them; as to tho:es who would notpay there would be little difficulty, as the co&S of premiums was imposed on employers (Hisses and cheers.) He was glad to see » difference of opinion, and hopel each' would support his opinion, and font f or it ia the political arena. Supposing1 som - " such outcome as he had proposed wera" T adopted, and- if it were found that the Re, miums were too high,' they could be\ c . ducett. That great advantages would' result therefrom went without savins; Ilio husband would know that hi wife was provided for in the event'oj his death, and parents would know the same in regard to : their "children,' Though some might consider the .question! treated by him uninteresting, and not practicable, yet he held they were prac ticable, and of tbe gravest importance, for unless care were taken the people woiild fand the evils he had pointed out would ' cpme upon them In conclusion, he con. sidered that no Government or people could nJ)Dlv;.>Ji£mseJ»s. *cu--a 'liig'ner aMTiSbletf work than the removal of pauperism.' (Loud . applause.) ;'. LI Mr Jenson moved, a vote of ihanks to ■'■[ Major Atkinton for his address, He did, "'i not, by any mean?, agree with Mstvtofs," V He explained the differences between hia own opinion and tho-e of the Maju'. at great, ' length, till the audience got \yeaiy of Mia ! and stamped him down. - Mr Devenish Meares seconded tie ' motion, which wr»s carried amid cheers aid hisses, Mr John Holmes, M.H.R., objected to Major Atkinson's scheme aa one imposing a poll tax on alt, the poot paying as much as the rich, the rich receiving as much beaefit as the pqor. It would take from the 'rich. ], the duty and privilege which they had tad ; of providing for the poor. The audienesi ' here became somewhat impatient, and lit Holmes concluded Ly saying that ho .em- .'..'l curred in Major Atkinson's proposal th( the land should bear the cost of providing for the sick and needy. sJIe heartly sup- . ported the vote of thanks. Major Atkinson returned thanks, He felt inclined to reply to some of the oLjes-j ' tions raised, but would not do co, further ; than by saying he would be sorry indeed ii 7 the working people of the colony formedtte idea that iv old age and sickness, instead id • being able to provide for themselves, ihq were to be dependent on the rich. fLoin! applause ),-•'•■ • :; The meeting then ■'■::[
