Mr Lockhart, senior, proposed, "That this meeting accord a vote ol confidence in Major Harris."

Land Tax and Unearned Increment.

Land Tax ana unearned increment. Tho first thing, to do was to get a land tax passed Into law. That \Vas why ho told tho working men hero not to be separ ated from thetr friends in tlio other parts of New Zealand* They should keep theii' Trades and Labour Councils together, and continue in constant eoiYeejiontlence with each othor. When ho was going ttttay sovoral members camo and asked him for a letter to come of tho Trados and Labour Councils. Others said—"l don't^ know what to do. Why did you start this idoa of Trades and Labour Councils? They Will soon rulo tho country ;" and ho thought it right that thoy should. Thero woro some things that he wished toimpross upon them. Ono of those things was the right of tho people to tho itnoarnod increment. Lately, an able work had boon isßurid by Mr Dufl'us, of Otahuhu, .entitled. "Hard Times, ancl Land Monopoly." Thoy dqujd all got it, and should mdko a study of it. Mr DuHub.wus so, faj- interested in tho wolfaro of tho tiooplo that Ijq \fcas propdring a smaller work, of which lie intended to havo 10;000 copies printed For circuhv tion through tho colony. But to rotufn to tho point. Tho pooplo of tho colony woro losing tho land which bolongcd to thorn. Already 250 pooplo owned 7,000,000 acres of land. Knormoua blooke were hold by other individuals, and etiormoiia values had been and woro being given to thoso blocks by tho expenditure of vast sums of public money upon thorn. Why should tho people, having lost their lands, contribute those vast Hums to mako tho possessors still moro jvealthy ? Thoy must insist on their right to tho' un earned increment. Thoy miiHt not tax im provements, but all Increased valuo given to' those ostotos by the expenditure of public monoys should bo taxed. Thoy Hhould insist upon getting tho unoarned Increment, and thus roliovo thomsclvos of the taxation which was grinding them into the dust. Tho People's Platform.

Ho said that ono plank iiv their platform was the romov.tl of tho property tax, nnd another tho imposition of a land tux. Now, houio pooplo woro trying to dehido them on an important point which ho would oXplairi to thorn. They wore told thai Sir Julius Vogol wuh about to bring a great influx of foreign capital into the country. Now supposing that caino to pass, what would tako place? Tho flovornmont wouldfput up small blooks of land for sale when they wore in want of monoy, and foreign capital being in tho country, they Would "oil small holdlngN, which would bo bid for by a large number of competitors- Tho poor man had boon induced when ho was wanting a homo to bid for tho land on tho deferred paymont principlo, nnd promiso larger sums of monoy than ho could over reasonably hojx) to pay. Well, what happened ? Ho would buy it,, and pay porhapß ton or twenty pounds or it might bu moru upon It. Then no would go to Sir Julius Vogois friends and borrow tho rest, impoverish himself for llfo, and become, tho wlftvo of tho foreign capitalist thereafter. What he would »ay to thorn Was tills . Tho pooplo should have thos») frcblioldf) at a small (tUtii on a perpetual ((tilt-rent system, which would be quite as good as froohold. They should have tho monoy, which would othorwiso bo ci ixjndcd in purchase, to put into tho lands. Then thoy would bo happy and contented, and could lot foreign capital go -—woll, ho did not like to ni»mn th>> place where it might go to. (Laughtori). Did thoy think that tho foreign capitalist" would advunco capital if thoy woro notcon vincod that it would rai»o capital? [A voice: John Abbott wouldn't.] Tho people would croato wealth, but having in cuncd liabilities they could not meet,' it would «o to tho foreign capitllist, and the peoplo would moot with punishment for a crime which they hod not committed. Tho speukor ]>ointe<l to the deferred payment settlors on the We^t Coast, and asked why had not married |Hilict.mun boon Hettled thore. Then tlio settlors would have boon prosperous and happy, and would not havu had to curso tho hour of tho mllux of foreign capital. Of course tho landed prbpriotow said, "(iot tho capital in ; Vogol is tho man for uh ; thero will bo worUR in plenty undertaken;; pro|.-crty will go up in value, and will »tUI get lurgornuiiiH for our land." Hut whop these peoplo sold their land at largo prices, I hey would bo oil", saying to thvinsclvut, " What does Now Zealand signify to uh?;" What was it to tho peoplo that, by the in troduction of capital, property mummed ill valuo ? Thoy would not havo monoy t» buy It with. What they required wu» that tho land should remain at it.-i truo valuo. Thoy did not want a serios of speculative purchases to go on, ' giving a false valuo to land. An 1)0 hail previously told them, Sir JiiliuH Vogcl wnsnlroady interested to tho cxtcntof (i-1,000 acros in some schonio known as tho Eucla Land and Pastoral Association!. Suroly In that largo holding there was sufficient to occupy his mind. Lot him go and take euro of that, and loavo this coun try alono. It was monstrous that nnv singlo man or body of men should bo allowed to acquire an enormous holding of sixteen millions of acres of land. Thoy would so* that what thoy wanted to got wiis a tar on tho Unearned incromont, by which thoy might relievo themselves of the weight of taxation irjw unduly jironMng upou them. Whon thoy had determined t.hu real value of land, and what it wan worth, than it might bo worth their while to deal with the owners of largo blocks of land, acquire these, and dispose of them to tho people on tho quit rental system. By tho taxing of tho unearned increment, they would got a fair share of what wan their own. Tho next plank in thoir platform to which he wished to refar was that ono man should have only one voto. If they would take Kin advice, thoy would not voto for any man who would not promiso to support a tax on tho unearned incromont and frfnglo voting. Tho ricxt thing was the oxtonsion of tho franchisoto seamen. Thatho would always advigothem to adhero to. Tho aoamon of this colony were a pplondid body of mon, and dogorved this reform. Thoy (should havo their share in electing representatives to tho Housd. Tho next thing was tho objoction tp coloured labour. They know- that ho had always lod thorn on this question ; and thoy should odhoro to tho principlo. Thoy ehould bavo ono European population for Now Zealand, with no remnants of slavery or coloured people Tho noxt thing was State aid to immigration. Ho thought thoy shouldgivo State aid in ono way, and only; in ono—and that was by offering ovory opening for the advancement of talent. They should give it in tho first place by paying moni bors thoir honorariums, by offering every encouragement and facility for advancement and progress, by tho estab-' lishment of iroe institutions, and by open ing ovory avenue to prosperity. That con cluded tho platform. They wore all agreoS upon it, and thoy should adhoro to it. A Dolonuo ami Explanation. Thoro was only ono other thing ho wished to speak to thorn about, and it was in ro gard to his interforonco in nil these affairs, but tho offonce givon doscrvod v sort of pardon. His whole life had boon spent in the contemplation of public affairs, and in tho government of many raoos. While so much of his life had thus boon passed, a melancholy took possession of bis mind whon he thought of the miners in tho mines and how thoy werobeing treated, of the prisoners in tho gaols and what might befel thorn. Thoro was for ihstanco the case of a man sentenced to death rocontly who was kept in suspense two'months concerning his fato before being executed Then thero were the natives and their troubles. Whon such a man as himsolf saw the natives in the position they now occupied, ho was overcome with sorrow whon anything happened to them. They know how closely ho had boon associated with tho Maoris, and when ho saw them'wronged ho could/not holp feeling it. Then there 'Wasj too, the case of a man named . Alfred Walker, who went to Christchftroh -to purchase 26 acres of land, and after wait ing six months for it was told that it had been disposed of to another man, who .was supposed to have applied for it 22 years ago. These sort of things affected him in spito of himself, and ho required some sort of com passion. In tho samo way it was impossiblo to look without compassion on tho old pen-, sioners who could not get their land. Thcrb : was no consideration for them. They wero not educated, and could not road or writo. Was ib right that these old pensioners, who had rendered good military service—many ,of whom he personally knew and valued - should 'be deprived of their well-earned grants of land ?, And yet thas was just what had' been 'done. He .'know of ono caso wherein a military sottler resident in Auck land should have received scrip for 35 acres, and yet his widow for 22 years had, vainly urged her claim for the justice, which was refused on the miserable plea, that the time for granting the scrip had passed. | Tho Composition,of tho Party. j He was told that he was to be sent back equipped with new assistants whom he did netwant. Inthepasthehadhadtheadvantage of assistance from talented young lawyers, who had ungrudgingly sacrificed both time and self interest in aiding him to fight tho battles of the poople, and in guiding him aright upon legal points. Ho had enjoyed the fellowship ana counsel of young and ardent statesmen full of. a. genuine enthu siasm in the Liberal cause,' with whose

spirit ho had been invigorated,' ari«_by whose courage he had been stimulated to greater oxertions. (Cheers.)

Mr Paikiavili.k then responded to tho general chorus of invitation, and was re coived with hearty cheers. He said that as the evening tt'tta ilreadj' fur spent, and he was shortly to address the oloctuiu at Ft. .luihoh'h Hull, ho wculd not (iotain them further than to ex ureas gratification ut the manner in which they had listened to tho address of Sir (JeorgoUroy.

Mr Moss rcmarkod that ho had had his any on the previous night, and that hi.1 Could doclnre his thorough Kympathy with every thine that Sir (iconM Grey had said that evening, with one exception.

(Uproar, and loud cries of "Kat, rat!") After deter mined hubbub, prompted by pronounced hostile feeling of a very genural nature, Mr Moss went on to say that for M*'year/ lie liad ({lvan an unflinching and unwnverlng mipport to Sir fteorgo Orey (uproar, and a voice, "Oh, youjuet Bay that in order to (;ct in again for another three years !") and ho acknowledged that us the loader of tlie Liberal party he had a right to expect that mipport; but as Sir (Jeorgo *!rey, without taking tho ndvieo of his supporters, who wero acting in concert, with him, had in hi" wisdom (which wisdom ho fully ad mitted) taken an important and decisivo step, the people had no right (uproar) to pledge any of their members to follow" Film... (Loud and general dif sent, -, groans, and -hooting! A voico ! " We,himrtho right," followed by cheers). Aftor'thia Mr Moss vainly tried to corifSndo his remarks. Tho nudienco would nottitar another word ; nrid, after gesticulating some time with his stick, whilo he spoke words which dould not be heard at all, the gentleman retired. In- response to loud calls;. Mr-Seymour Gedrgo then came forward, and tta's received with cheers, lie expressed astonishment at. a fair hearing not having boon accorded tb Mr Moss. Ho had always understood that an Auckland audience' was a fair one. (Cries of "Kate.")

(Cheers.)

MAJOR HARRIS AT OTAHUHU.

Major Harris addressed tho electors of Otahuhu at tho I'ublic Hall last evening. There wasn Crowded attendance. Mr Lock lmrfc, juntos occupied tho chair. He bespoke for Major Harrlß <t fair- and impartial hear- Xhe Major; who was greeted with great appiaus'B, thanked the audience for their acclamation, lie felt Hke a felon just ac quitted and como beforo a ?SG7iirl tribttnal. According to tho newspapers lie WSB the worst jiOHHiblc individual that could be, and f'ft came beforo them to vindicate himself, Unit Itit them JiJdgG him. At tho last elec tion a hS*tfWiiMif was circulated in the dis trict, warning hid e"df»)S*fcets to roll tip on a certain day, and that day #38 this day after the election was over. At tho sdrao time a newspaper would keep people from doing wrong. Ho was with them (tho audience) to make hi" cane good, and would only usk them to vole for him if he were in tho right; Ho hud/ cm tho last occasion, recoived a tmaniinouß voto of confidence. He chal lenged anyono to .show that he f>f«l not kept his proimafis.1 It wns usually accepted that the minority W tiro House of Keproscnta- Lives should give way, and he would show that the gentlemen who VOtCd cm tho Go vernment side should have given way to the majority. Ho himself voted with tho major i»,v. and consequently had not done wrong. At Wellington h? found that a number of members for the fivvth Island, and also. North Island members, had gtfne over to tho Opposition. Tho doctors had be'dn told that tho?e who wont over to the Opposition wen; those who objected to tho Canterbury, grain tariff.- Tho Canterbury mem l/crs tliomaolYjSP ;dcnied ' that they Ipjt to Government . /or that roason. lie gavfi the Haflics of many members who did not represent grain growing placea, and who yet went ovor to Die Opposition, Major Atkinson merely wanted to use the grain tariff as a red rag. He (the upeakfery was one who wont to make the majority against tho Government. The most natural thought thoy had was that the Government would resign, If tho Government had wanted to carry on the railway and the ittoticfn, what was more sasy than that tho Government Mloftld fgflfgn and help the Op position to do »o afterwards 7 (Wgns of dis approval.) Ho;deni6d that ho went in for •|in«riutlon. He voted for Mr- Steward's mOtioll, and «Dt forpyhat he raid. (Laugh ter.) As for r (button's amendment, it was mor«ly his view, and fiot the view of tin; whole Opposition. He (Major Harris) Would never vote for such an amend ment, find hfl never did. He had never voted for a dissolution. Tl<oro was a resolu tion moved by Mr O'Cullaghan ro eupplioß, and objecting to the cour.-:e pursued by Ilia Excellency. He (Major Harris) voted for that, foritwouldJaavo aavctiilja country vast ■sxpcn.'-e. As rogarrled the honorarium (bear, heaf), ho voted for the estimates as brought down by th« f'ovornment, and tho esti mated included the full honorarium. He nould have got tho honorarium junt ns easy by voting against as for it, for there was a majority to carry the motion without him. Ifu wanted the money for exponscs, and took it. The oducation question was an important one, and tho view ho took of it lias tl'at Hie pret'nt Act was a very good one, and he wonl'l like to sue a better one before any effort was made to replace it. He approved of sending children to school lit its vrly an age as pomblo, and kept tlioro until tlldy reßCh a certain standard. There could bo no (tic nueßtiona aboui the railway passing through tlio district being mismanaged. In the House he Ikd pointed out the absurd charges at the Otabullti station. Kespccting tho trunk line of rail- Hay, lie had done aff he could to obtain it Then' was no doubt about our getting it, but if the GoVornttient intended to act that railway, they went a roost remarkable way about it. The lino they might expect to KCt would leave To Awamutu and como out about Stratford Respecting retrenchment, ho had always voted for it—excepting in tho honorarium. (Laughter.) The Govern ment had no right to reduce the grain tariff. Mr Swangon proposed a reduction in tho estimates, but the Government would not havo it. The retrenchment practised by the present Government was tho turning out of all the supporters of the Grey Government, and filling the vacancies with their own friends. Long since he (the ppenfcer) had promised to get manhood suffrage, and had done oil ho could. He thought the Waste Lands Board in Auckland should be done away with in favour of tin Elective Board, and lie hoped the people would uso their votes in that direction. Ho thought it a great pity in deed that tho Government had not a greater extent of land open at timo of advertised . sales than they did. The Taranaki settlers had consequently given such big prices for land that thoy had gone deeply in debt. Hundreds of people came here to bid, and raised the prices on each othcri He was in favour of giving grants of land to settlers' HoiiH, and was. also in favour of nominated immigration, i and that only. There, was another matter. In Parliament, the North Island was not represented as well as the South. (A Voice: Why don't you stick together?) That was the ques tion. He thought the native population should be represented the same as Euro peans. In the matter of lands the natives had been really robbed by the Europeans, and the Government should stand between the two races. He was in favour of a Minister holding a port folio for agriculture, who could give a great deal of information to tho farmers. As a rule the farmers, tho Government, and all scorned in debt, i Ho though t that where the Govern ment had ioroed the peoplu into an enormous, , debt they should borrow money at 4 per □ont. and let itout to formers at 5 percent. This would encourage local industries, and pooplehad an equal right to receive loans for. such purposes as the Government had to place the money in a bank; : The Roads and Bridges Act had proved a failure, for the people had. to roduce their plans time aftor fcimo in ordor to cot their money. Hood Boards, too, should get a subsidy. Kospoctiug Government Insurance, he dia npprpvod of the facility given to persons who would not be taken by private com panies. As for. compulsory insurance, he had no bolicf whatever in it, and would oppose it. Whon the Government had money, ho thought they should give it to all the banks in Now Zealand, and not allow the bauk of New Zealand to have a monoply. Ho objocted to royal commission, which ,had cost tho country £29,000 foe somo timo past. All Government rolling stock should bo made in the colony as far as possible, even if.' the; article produced hero was not quite so good as that imported. The old railway iron too | should bo re-east in the country, and they should not send out of tho country for rail way sleepers as had been doho of late. It had been stated that he prbmisod to vote with the Government. • This he denied. What ho had said wag that ho would go with .the Government in opposing any re duction of the railway tariii in Canterbury. .In.answor to questions, Major Harris said (l) that Mr Luckie, with the consent of Major Atkinson, handed the Government money over to the Bank of New Zealand : it was not tendered for; (2) that children both' in' town and country should'be ad mitted to school at an early age ; (3) he had brought the matter of the coal tariff on the Otahuhu line before the Minister of Public Works; (4) that if a want of confidence in the Atkinson Government were brought on after the election, there should bo a trial of strength. Ho would go with the present Government rather than with Vogel at .any' time; (5) he would be in favour ■of triennial parliaments until the voice of the people askod him to voto differoutly; (6) ho was in favour' of the payment of the honorarium annually. [At this stage Mr Owen McGee-questionod Major Harris as to ■ K why tohadj objected to Sir; Julius ■ Vogel; ,b.ut he icould not bo .heard foe uproar.] (7) many members in Parliament would like ■to meet earlier-in the morning than they 'did,"and it was in the early hours of the morning that the estimates were passed; he objected to that; (8) if the Government •had-■•'gone-out,- tho Opposition knew who were going in, and Sir George Grey was to be at the head; (9) he would do his utmost to havo large reserves set apart for education ; (10) ho had no faith in federa tion, but thought the Homo Government should be informed that wo objected to havo convicts liberated near our shores.

Mr CAttAoiuN seconded. Mr Owen McGkb moved as an amend ment, " That a vote of thanks bo given to Major Pfarris." Mr J. Bauley seconded. On being submitted to the meeting, tho i motion waR carried by a largo majority. A voto of thanks to tho Chairman, moved' by Major Harris, terminated tho proceed ing?, which, towards tho end, wero very nolßy.

ALLEGED CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Another prosecution for alleged cruelty to animals is being undertaken fit fie instance: of the Prevention Society. An informa tion has been laid against James Crawford* master of tho Waitaki, for carrying a con signment of nine pigs in a box which did not afford them sufficient accommodation, and which caused them suffering. A further information has been laid against a man named Sloan, at Mangapai, charging him as the shipper of tho pigs with cruelty in not making provision for their accommo dation.

Captain : Mnrdock McKenzie, whose death was recorded in ' our •■ last evening's issue, was born at Prince Edward's Island '■ about 1811, and with hie father wont to Soctland when three yearfl old. At the timo of tho last trouble with -the United States he went batfi to1 America, and when about 21 year* of age he (failed arid owned, in conjunction .with his brothel*.
