THE AGITATION OF THE UN EMPLOYED.

Deputation of the Unemployed,

As an outcome of the recent meetings of the unemployed, the following letter, signed by James Thomson (Chairman), Robert Pitsmnn (Secretary), and 19 others, was received by Uis Worship the Mayor : — «' Auckland, October 24th, 1884. To Hia Honorable Worship tho Mayor of tlio City Council,—Tho undersigned petitioners most humbly and respectfully pray that your Worship will take it into your kind consideration to call an unemployed meeting the same as the Mayor down South "to see the best ad visability to bo taken in the course of ob taining honest employment, as stono-brenk ing is not Buifieiont means to support married families, and your petitioners will be truly thankful and ever pray at your commands." . . ■ Upon receipt of this communication, the Maver signified that he would be prepared to receive a deputation of tlio petitioners ai the City Council olfices at noon. Accordingly, at the appointed time, Messrs W. G. (larrard, James Thompson, and Pitman, waited upon His Worship. The deputation having been invited to state the object of their mission, Mr Thomson ?aid that he had been out of work for some little timo, and that he had been quite unable to find any. The un employed had had one or two meetings, at the last one of which, held yesterday, 100 men being present, they were deputed to ask His W orsliip to be kind enough to call a meeting of the unemployed, and to ascertain what he would adviso to bo done. Any sort of work that offered they were willing to take at reasonable wages.

Mr Pitman said that for tho last five weeks he had been out of employment, and during that time ho had tried every placo for a situation, but without avail. He had a wife and family to support, and lie had been a resident of Auckland for tlio Inst two years. His occupation was that of a labourer. Ho had beon working for Mr Maguire, but 5 weeks ago he had discharged 15 of them (himself among tho number) because lie had not sufficient work for them.

His Worship remarked that Mr Maguire employed a greater number of men than tho City Council ever did.

Mr W. G. Garrard said thore was a great number of hard-working mon, both married and single, out of employment nt the present timo, and that very many of them were restrained by feelings of delicacy from making known how distressing were their wants. They wero all willing to work, and it was hardly necessary for him to add that there wore no lazy bones in William George Garrard. If thero was work for him to do, ho was ready and eager to do it. In regard to the petition which had been presented to His Worship, he might state tnat there were over 50 men whom lie knew to be in deep distress, and some of them having been higher up in tho world than they now wore, did not liko to bring their wants before the public. They thought it a dis grace to do so. One man with his missus and five childron had come to his house the other night almost staiving, and Mrs Gar rard not having tho heart to see them turn away, had takon them in and provided them with 'a meal. There were other cases of tho same kind. Mr Kirby had told him that he did not want grey-whiskered men in his employ, but only " strong, young, bullocking fel lows." Mr Garrard went on to inveigh in vigorous terms against such an invidious and unfair d:stinction, and he indignantly asked if poor, unfortunate married men with large families to support and rates and taxes to pay were to be pushed to tho wall and all the work given to those "bullocking young fellows." The con tractors had n plan of working matters now which greatly conduced to tho present distress. When the Council invited tenders for any work, those who had jobs already in hand tendered along with the rest, and if thoy proved successful iistead of engago ing more men, they took half tho gang em ployed upon tho old contract, and set them to work upon the now. Then whon the old job was finished they were ready for a third contract upon which to employ the remaining part of tho gang. At present, througli tho preference shown for single men, none of this description could be got in the country whore they wero needed. Thoy cliobo to remain in the town, where luxury and enjoyment wero to bo had, and thus starved out the married men, for whom there was no demand in tho country. It made his heart bleed to hear the class to which he belonged called *• vagrants " and " loafers." [Here William George stopped to wipe away tho moisture welling up in his eyes.] His Worship, taking advantage of the opportunity, said that the Council had no option but to call tenders for all public works entrusted to their hands.- The Act provided for this, and Councillors, no matter what their feelings might bo, wero bound to observe that provision in all works estimated to cost more than £20. In all such cases tenders had to be publicly, and the lowest tenderer accepted for the job if he were a responsible person. In answer to the request. of the petitioners that he Bhould call a public meeting, he had simply to state that he did not feel warranted in incurring the expense involved thereby, seeing that the petition only bore 21 signatures. Mr Garrard hereupon remarked that if a greater number of signatures was all that was wanted, 100 more could easily be pro cured. In another colony the Mayor of a large city hod promptly called a public meeting upon a requisition which he (Mr Garrard) presented signed by ten unem- His Worship replied that he was not anxious to hear of Mr Garrard's experiences elsewhere, nor was he disposed to follow the other Mayor's example. Ho was somewhat jealous of tho reputation of Auckland, and he again re-eated, therefore, that he could not call a public meeting of the unemployed at the request of 21 petitioners. If, as they said, hoVvever, there we're 100 of their number, ho 'might see his way to doing what' was desired of him. He supposed they did not want to meet op the reclama tion or at a street corner, but in a hall, and he would hot otherwise feel warranted in incurring the expense of from £6 to £10 necessitated thereby without consulting t_e Council. They had not conferred upon him the prerogative of dealing as he liked with the funds. If the peti tioners wished to have their desires for a public meeting, they would have to get tlio names ripon tho petition supplemented by others. He could sympathise with Mr Garrard's expression of opinion as to tho distinction drawn between old and young men, but it was .one pf the incidents of life that tho progress to age carried with it a loss of activity and energy. Ho (Mr Garrard) could not dictate to men as to whom thoy should em ploy. 'So far as the caso of the necessitous was concerned', there was really no need for Mr Garrard to have shared his substance with the destitute, for M* Graham, the Relieving Officer, was prepared to attend to all such cases. It was his duty to re lieve all such deserving cases, and ifc was no more humiliating for a destitute person to go to him than to Mr Garrard. ' Mr GARRARp'commenced another rapidly delivered harangue; in the course of which he denounced the Rev. Thos. Spurgeon and interested snipping agents for enticing working men to the colony under promise qf a feast of good things, oppressed his want of sympathy with strikes unless likely to speedily effect the desired result,' arifl protested against the unfair treatment in pie labour market of married ipen and aged men. _ •After some desultory conversation the deputation withdrew, promising to quickly obtain the required number of signatures p_ wan-ant tho Mayor calling a public rpcoting. _________________

DROWNING OF MR DECIMUS ATKINSON.

News lias been received of tho drowning of Mr Docimus Atkinson, brother of the e_- Premier, nt Pahi, yesterday, by the capsiz ing of a.boat. The body has not yet been recovored. Mr Tudor Atkinson (of Whitnker, Russell, and Buddies office), nephew of deceased, left by this morning's Knipara train for the purpose of taking charge of the body, if it should bo found. The particulors of the occurrence received up to the present are meagre. It appears that there were six people iv the boat, in cluding ono girl, when she upsot. All were saved except Mr Atkinson, who wont down within two yards of the boat, and was not afterwards seen. Mr Atkinson was for many years a resident of Taranaki. Several years ago he camo to Auckland and ongoged in the manufacture of Portland cement at Whangarei. The industry proved unprofitable, and Mr Atkinson turned his attention to other things. He has remained in the North ever since. He wont on a visit to Kaipara in company with Mr Metcalfe to sco the country, and it was in traversing one of the numerous rivers of that district, where co many boat accidents occur, that ho has met his death.

TAWHIAO'S MOVEMENTS.

Yesterday the regal heart of Tawhiao was transported with delight at the receipt of the following commission from England, which had como by the last 'Frisco steamer, and was awaiting his arrival here : —" In dependent Order of Good Templars, Right Worthy Grand Lodgo of tho World; To all whom it may concern. Know ye that by the authority vested in me by the Con stitution, and in purauanceof the proper re commendation, I, tho Right Worthy Grand Templar of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the World, have caused this commission to bo issued authorising our worthy brother King Tawhiao to act as Honorary Deputy Right Worthy Grand Tomplar. Your duties nro to organise and institute lodges among tne Maoris, reporting from timo to timo to the Right Worthy Grand Templar. This commission to take effect immediately and remain in force until the next annual session of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge unless sooner revoked by the Right Worthy Grand Templar cr rendered null and void by violation of Section 1 Article 11 of Subordinate Lodgo Constitution. In witnees whereof I have caused this to be sealed with the seal of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge this 23rd day of August in the year 1384.— Joseph Malms, R.W.G.T." The important missive was translated by Mr Andrew Wiapo, and as its contents im pressed themselves upon the mind of the pseudo-potentate, he assumed an air of self-conscious dignity. He was exceedingly prond of this latest honour which had been thrust upon him, and ho forthwith de spatched Mr Wiremu Oneroa to the Star Office with the commission, in order that his appointment might be blazoned to the four quarters of the globe. At 8.30 this morning Tawhiao, Ropia, Turoa, and Wiromu Pamare emerged from their lodgings, and proceeded to the wharf in order to embark in a whaleboat for Orakei. The King was clad in a black overcoat encircled by a girdle of white cloth, while his nether limbs were encased in the orthodox pants and patent leather shoes. Upon a young attendant calling the mon arch's attention to the fact that he was bare headed, drily replied that he was going amongst the Maoris now, nnd consequently did not lequire any headgear. The party set off in good time, and a meeting is pro bably in progress at Orakei to : day. * In this connection it may be interesting to mention as indicating how quickly the natives pick up European ideas and habits that a young man named Wiremu Oueroa is acting as reporter for tho " Kori mako," and since Tawhiao'B arrival has been deputed to attend upon and re port all that takes place in connecfion with him. Another young Maori scribe named Laurence represents the " Korimako." These must be the pioneer Maori specials, and consequently are entitled to" some distinction.

The old settlers all along the coast, particularly in Mohaka and Poverty Bay, are very indignant' that the bloodthirsty wretch should be allowed to come in triumph to visit tho scene of his atrocities, and trouble is likely to bo the result, if means are not taken to prevent him coming."

"The Triumph of Democracy."

(To tho Editor.)

Sin.—Your valuable paper has attalnod its large circulation mainly through its able ad vocacy of tlio people's rights ia the past. Permit mo, through tho medium of iv columns, to Bay a word to that largo part of tho community, the wage-earners of this oity.andall who sympathise with tho progressive developments of the com munity as a whole, and not morely tho material prosperity of any ono class, which may easily bo attalnod at tho expense of othor classes, This seems to me to bo very much tho tondency of our present civilisation. I would not charge aelSahness in He grossest form upon any capitalist. But no ono who looka at the matter from a purely brotherhood point of view can Blnit hia eyea to the vast power which wealth wields, and very often most oppressively. The Auckland Liberal Association has been formed with the e_preßS purpoae of promoting tho welfaro of all. Nothing can bo further from the truth than to suppose that it is antagonistic to capital. Tho true Liberal can havo no warfare with the legitimate uae of capital. He would seek by every meana to promote Its proper sphere of employment. Its origin niUßt bo largoly traced to tho care, forothought, and frugality of the workers of the past; and although capital or wealth, by its unjust appropriation of that which all help to create, namely, tho Increasing value of tho land, la able to bring opprcaalve prcseuro to boar on tho landless part of the com munity, by charging more than a fair rent for ita use, arising from the competition among the landless ones—that is, a higher rent than will leave him a fair return for his labour and outlay —yet all this arises largoly from the supinoncsß and Indill-rence of tho people themselves. Each ono ia so eager to possess a portion of the earth's surface, nnd call it hia very own, if he can scrape together the means to buy it, that all overlook the sad and baneful results of Buch a system, tho only ofljact ot which must bo' to pro mote human selfishness and a diaregard to tho claims ot our common humanity. What do wo sec at the present moment aa the result of thla inlquitoUß system of open com petition for what is culled a freehold 1 We see land unused unoccupied. In Its virgin stato, all round the centres of populal ion. held for merely speculative purpo.oß, and owncra asking (and Eometlinc-s getting) exorbitant prices—pricoa which are altogether boyond its value for actual uso, either for cultivation or even, building. Tho present price of land around this olty la largely fictitious. Of course, while the law allows this free but not tin ri-hteous holding of the land, to do just what tho owner likes with it, whether for tho good of tho community or not, agents, whose chlot sourco of livelihood ia not tho use but tho exchange of land from one per son to another, will strive to oreato this fictitious value in the laud. The time will como when tho people will sco th-it this unholy dealing in the people's land is little better than buying and selling men for their labour. Tho people havo not yet woke up to a knowledge of their power. When thoy do thoy will bo liko a giant, and sweep off all tho unrighteous monopolies— the result of ages of misrule. One ob ject I had in view in writing was to call attention .to the lecture on " Tho Triumph of Domocraoy," to be dellvored this (Friday) even ing iv tlio Opera House. Tho lecturer. Air Thos. Bracken, an ox-mombcrof the Houae of Repre sentatives, is well known In tho South aa an able journalist and lecturer, having broad liberal aympathios with the people I trust that tho Liberals of Auckland will show, by their presence tonight, that they appreciate the ell'orta of those who aook to educate the peoplo ia political duties.—Yours, &<?., J. _k.r_K, Secretary Auckland Liberal Association.
