MR MONTGOMERY'S REPLY TO MAJOR ATKINSON.

» iBY TELEGR A PH. —IT.ESS ASSOCIATION.) I CHRIkTCHUUCH, Thursday, j Mb Montgomery addressed hia cor i stituents at Akaroa last night. 1 here Wi n \ a largo attendance, tho Mayor of tin; borough being in the chair. Mr Montgomery, who was received with loud applause, said he would refer to Major Atkinson's lectures, the proceedings of Just, sessioD, one or two acts of the Government since, and the probable course of the pro ceedings of next session. When he heard tbat Major Atkinson intended coming to Christchurch to address the people he, as well as others, concluded that Major At kinson would be prepared to give au ex planation of tne puat conduct of the Govern ment, and set forth their future policy, and that before men yruo weie opposed to him, leaving it to them to comment upon it. The party which he (Mr Montgomery) btlonged to was prepared to meet Major Atkinson if be had touched on party questions. He, with others, was astonished to hear Major Atkin son say he came not to speak on a party quc3tion, but on a question of principle, which he wished them to think over, x-.s Major Atkinson had engaged the hall aud invited the members thero, it would have been very discourteous to dispute with him, but ho (Mr Montgomery) would ask, was it notan unusual course for the I'rcasurerof the colony to speak to the public on a questiou of high, political importance, and auli them to rcfiain from taking a party view of it No one could believe the Treasurer, who* was a politician, came to address a large meeting simply to speak philosophical truth. His ulterior object waa to ascertain the drift of public opinion, so that he could shape hia policy with safety, lie would tell them whore he differed from Mnjur Atkinson, but before doing so he would make one remark. Many of his friends in Cbristcburch thought that he should have spoken after tbo Trensuicr, but lio considered that the fir^t place to do so wai here, when speaking to his constituents. He would also address tho Christchurch people befora Parliament met. Major Atkinson, speakiug oq the constitution of the colon'.1, carefully refrained from committing himself, Mr Moutgomery then gave abriel sn:i.imry of Major Atkinson's rem > rks. With regard to the Hare system advocated by Major Atkinson, he would ask if it were not of thd first impoitance tbat tbe electors should know the man for whom they voted, and tbat that man should have nn interest in their locality. Under the Hare system a local man would be kept out of Parlia ment by a stump orator, paid for by a moneyed ring ; so ho earnestly hoped that system would never be_ adopted here. (Ap plause.) He could think of nothing more likely to effect the severance of the colony than a Legislative Council composed of members chosen in equal numbers from each island. The Council required reformation. Now it contained 48 members, many of them Government men, and others those whom the people refused to return to tbo House ot Representatives. It was an ac tual wrong to put such men there. Other members were men who consider libera) legislation a thing to be stampad out. The Hooner the people of the country had a voice in returning members to the Upper House the better. (Applause.) Ho-was in favour of a larger electorate for the Council than for the House of .Representa tives. Major Atkinson said taxation at pre sent was fail and just, and pressed on all classes equally. He held it did not (Applause.) In imposing tax it must be asked if the task was necessary, and to de cide that, it must be asked what was ttic dcGciency for that tax to make good. It had been said that as soon as the railway.* were finished the net revenue over expensej would pay the interest on their construction. It had not done so, and a property tax had been imposed to, cover tbo deficiency. Tiny should sco if tho railways themselv.s could Dot be made to pay it. They, and other public works aud immigra tion, had raised the value of land, as land, by £20,000,000, but had not raised th« value of improvements, and the property tax touched improvements, furniture, effects of joint Btack companies, and merchants' or storekeepers' goods. They would thus see it was not fair. Ho wonld ask, whether theee, and tho men who had made homos for themselves on the land, and bad im proved its value, should bo taxed on both the original and improved value to pay a deficiency on railways which passed through unimproved lands which have rison from £2 to £14 an acre, or to meet the interest on £2,000,000 borrowed for immigration. Every immigrant raised tho value of the. land which should pay for immigration. He, himself, was for a tax on lands tbat benefited by the expenditure of borrowed money. The Treasurer said in Christchurch tho property tax waa fair, and yet last session he taiJ that property which benefited by the railways shonll be specially taxed. Whatever he said now, he would have to say something very different to the House, or be and the Houso would not agree. Major Atkinson said the legislation of last sessioD would prove'whether perpetual lease or the freehold teoure of land was best; but really then: was no such thing in the Act ot last session as perpetual lease, as any man who leased an agricultural section could buy it after six years. On the goldfields, land was least d without a purchasing clause, but the Governor could resume at any time, so there was not a perpetual lease there. Mnjor' Atkinson spoke of the possibility of buryt-j ing up large estate?, and compensating the owners. He would like to know whether the enhanced value given by the railways would be considered in computing the com pensation, because on the question of com pensation it would bo asked whether the enhanced value was retained by the States, or given to the owner, .National insurance should be considered very carefully by the people, notas a dream orspeculation, because they might be saddled with it as a fact. Waa it a scheme free people could adopt, or, was it dangerous to lirjerty ? In England it hadfallenflat. Itwasvery "taking^atfirst sight, and he himself thought it was good at first, but he was now convinced it could never be adopted. Major Atkinson spoke! very vaguely at Christchurch about the scheme as compared with what he said in the House. In reality the proposal meant a poll tax of a million a year. Would employee like their employers to stop their, money, or wonld employers like to take the trouble ? How was the money to be col lected from those who travelled about the country shearing? Who was to collect it from tho idle and vicious and the loafer 1 Thero would be great difficulties in the way of administering the sick pay, and an expensive department in Wellincton would be required. The system would create au unwarrantable amount of interference in private affairs. No doubt Major Atkinson was quito sincere in. hia desire to enconrage thrift, but was it a way to encour age thirft to put people in gaol if. they did notj|pay? The real way to prevent' poverty was to prevent men from spending their money foolishly, and to give them a chance of getting on in life by giving the people cosy access to tho land. He (Mr Montgomery) wished to see the law so altered that a working man who had saved £100 could get a piece of land to live on. If the colony had 25,000,000 of acres of land, including Maori land, be asked why it should be obtainable- only at such a price that a man of small means could not go on it. In Canada and America the low price of land was filling the country with I people, while in Canterbury the charge of £2 an acre retarded settlement. The land should be obtainable for little more than the cost of the survejr. /f every working man were able to acquire land on which to make a house of his own, tho evils of having a nomadic population would be done away with. The last session of Parliament was very unsatisfactory. Tho Ministry, in spite ,of the wishes of the members, kept back the estimates and important measures till a late period of tho session, and not a member, except those of the district benefited by them, know a single thing about them. When the Roads and Bridges Construction Bill was before the Bouse, Major Atkinson 1 said it would prevent an amount being put on the estimate for roads and bridges. Yet when the estimates came down sums were on them for Wanganui; Taieri, I and other bridges and roada. He challenged the Treasurer with having broken faith, and Sir J. Ball eaid it was wrong to force the estimates through co late. It was done because Ministers wished to secure a majority in the districts represented by the majority, so those districts were well at tended to, and those represented by the op ponents of the Government were badly at tended to. He thought the Government should be prevented from doiog so next ses sion. (Applause.) Mr Whitaker had said that thcCanterbury people were asleep about tbe West Coast railway. They had not been asleep, but had been very confiding. They thought they had a member of the Ministry who would see justice done to Canterbnry, but they had been mistaken. The Otago people got their central railways in spite of ■ the repott of the commission, and Canter, bury people could do tho same. He considered that on the eve of a session of Parliament the Government should give the country their^policy, but he believed that

M;i,or Atkini3on was. fishing tor a policy. ■ y]'j: Opposition had been tame last scssioD, ; <: -licy wished to show they were not. r.ljsiructioniars er talkers, and they knew Iha public would not be on their side if they . ;■; in for breaking down things and not binMing np. The Opposition would next cr on insist on Government measures bcii>» brought down early. It would be bettor for them to be oat of the House altogether thau (o have another session tuch as the last. Mr Montgomery con- . eluded by saying tbat he would go among*t ' his constituents and make himself acquaint- j ed wit'i their wishes and want?. | A vote of thanks and confident was : unanimously carried.

That the officers of any of H.M. ships that ore in harbour and German Navy be neked to take part in the reception; also, consuls and consular agents."—Cr" Boardman moved the adoption of the recommenda tion.—'Bii3 Worship said he had called upon the Hon. the Premier with the object of ascertaining precise information regard ins the mpvements of His Excellency, and had beeu informed that the steamer would arrive in the Manukau about 4 p.m. on Wednesday, and that His Excellency could not reach Auckland before 5 p.m. This would, of course, materially alter the programme indicated, and he very much questioned whether, of there was a holiday, that they could keep up the ex citement during the day. fi s the arrival "would be so late in the afternoon, he thought iit would be better for him (tbe Mayor) to meet the Governor sami-officially on 'Wednesday evening, and ascertain what hour would bo convenient for His Excel lency to receive an address from them.— Cr. Aickin suggested that a salute should be fired on landing, and Cr, Burns suid that part of the ceremony would be attended to by Major Withers. Cr. ■ Waddel considered that tbe Park should ba publicly opened by His Worship on 'ihursday, and that His Excellency should b» invited to be present.—His Wor^ ship and other members thought that if the "Park were to bo publicly opened on that day, it should be by His Excellency, if he were present.—A motion was made for the formal opening of tho Park on Thursday, while " Saturday" was moved as an amendment. It was, however, pointed out that a crowd in the Park at present might do considerable damage by trampling on the trees aud shrubs, and the opening was posfponed for the present.—The Mayor then moved, II That the address bo presented by the Mayor and Couoci1, on Thursday, at Uovornirietit House, at such hour as may be iixed by His Excellency."
