The annual meeting of Auckland Tatter sail's Club was hold last evening, Mr A. B. Whitaker presiding. The balance-sheet submitted showed the funds in hand to be £51 5s 9d, and subscriptions due £42. This met the expenditure, and left £10 6s 9d to the good, after providing for liabilities. Mossrs John Kirkwood, M. Gallagher, and Col. Fraser were elected membersof the Co mmittee, and Messrs Butler and O'Sullivan auditors. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr J. Smith, proprietor of the Occidental Hotel, for providing the Club with the com modious room at a small rent, and for his other kindnesses to the Club. A propo sition for the alteration of a rule was post ponod for a special meeting.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Government and the Unemployed.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l see by a telegram from Wellington that a deputation from the Trades and Labour Council waited on the Premier res pecting the £100,000 vote for immigration, and urged the necessity of Government opening a labour exchange in each centre of population. It seems rather surprising that a Government should spend large sums in bringing to our shores labourers and artisans, and yet take no steps to keep a correct guago of the labour market. Let us compare this policy with that of the Canadian Government. A steamer arrives, say at Quebec, with pas sengers from all parts of Europe, who have paid their own fares. No sooner are these people nshorj than agents from the various provinces of Canada and the United States are ready to advise on such matters as getting work, obtaining land, etc. In such towns as Montreal and Toronto there are depots where the new-chums may rest, and liavo the chance of meeting employers, who regularly resort to these depots in search of labour of all kinds. It may not be generally known, but it is nevertheless a fact, that a poor man may • ride on the railways at Gqvernment expense throughout Canada when newly arrived in the country in search of work. Now, what do we see here? An Immigration Officer employed occasionally in minister ing to the wants of a batch of Government immigrants, who are, of course, dispersed as speedily as possible. But who welcomes and cares for those who come from Sydney or Melbourne, or who pay their own passage from England ? If it is worth while to spend money in bringing out Go vernment immigrants, surely it is a matter of economy to see that those in our midst are profitably employed. Besides doing a great deal of good in the direction I have indicated, a Government labour ex change would be a powerful factor in suppressing those periodical agita tions of the so-called " unemployed," the meetings of which appear to be largely com posed of the idle vagrants. Perhaps, Mr Editor, you v ill commend the consideration of this matter to out local Parliament.—l am, &c, Economy.

Borrowing.

(To the Editor),

Sir,—While our politicians are busy with their own selfish scheme1", the co!ony is rushing on to sure ruin; it must be clear to everyone that paying interest is a one-sided game, as we get nothing in exchange. M would propose that we set the Govern ment printing press to work and print off paper money equal to the amount that the Government propose to borrow. The paper money will answer the purpose of British gold, and save us the interest. At any rate no harm could be.done by printing as much as is required to pay all liabilities incurred in the colony. The plant that we import, such as railway iron, could be bought with our paper money, but if we pay for that in gold surely there is. no necessity to pay our bone and sinew with borrowed gold. If we borrow gold it will all be sent out of the colony to pay for imports. I think it is high time that wo learned to live on our own resources. If we allow foreign capitalists to invest their money 'here we shall soon hear'of " British interests" in New Zea land that must be protect 3d ; and the fact of our being fools and incapable of govern ing ourselves (the fact of our falling into the hands of Sir Julius Vogel proves it) will cause British statesmen to have very little scruple of conscience in dealing with us. I am afraid the big landholders are the cause of this borrowing; but they will find that every £ that goes out for interest is one £ less for land value in the colony. It may cause temporary prosperity, but the time must come when our children will be serfs, pay ing away all the wealth that is not actually consumed by the workers to foreign capital ists, There is. a limit to the wealth-pxo ducing power of New Zealand, as we have hot much land that is free from the clutches of " British interests." The American depression of 1857 was caused by foreign capital buying up the right to draw all the spare wealth that could be produced in the country, but open ing new land and making railways enabled the American people to tide over the difficulty. I hope our landowners will be satisfied by demanding all the spare wealth that can be produced in the colony, and forbear from selling the "right to tax" us to foreign capitalists. If. they can't be trusted, our only plan ia to make them pay interest on the future unearned increment or land value. This interest could be applied towards buying up the paper money circulated in making rail ways. "British interests" represent 3J millions on our public debt as a yeai-ly tribute; and if we knew the whole amount of wealth drawn out of the colony by the numerous banks and loan companies as interest on their money, it would cstonish us to think how we can pay it. We must, remember that the Liberals our children will have to deal .with will not be the Liberals of 40 years ago. England is fast becoming a nation of money lenders, and, if I read human nature, will care very little how we fare so long as they can draw their rents and interests. Kith and kin has very little influence in these days of money-making, as it is called. The fact is, all the "world is gambling to see who shall win the power to tax their fellow creatures, and this at a time when manual, labour could ba almost dispensed 'with, provided we did nothing but necessaiy work. If we wish to make railways we can pay the makers with paper money, and it will circulate as readily as the coin we borrow. If the English capitalists want employment for their capital, let them come out to New Zealand and make a fair exchange in manufacturing or any other trade. Every £of foreign capital we em ploy strengthens the chain that is dragging our children into slavery.—l am, &c,, Robinson Crusoe, November 9.

The Auckland Phalanx, and What They Did at Wellington.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Judging from the reception givon to our representatives on returning from their arduous (?) parliamentary labours, their efforts on tbe:r own beha'f must be highly appreciated, especially by that portion of their constituents who fought so hard for their return. Departing immediately after keenly-contested elections, with the excite ment of battle still upon them, the congratu lations of their friends and the encouraging ories of their partisans still ringing in their ears, receiving a <rßend-ofi :> full of earnest solicitations to stick together, cvi m it parly considerations should be sacrifice , the "Auckland phalanx" went forth to meet the "Southern thievqeracy," who, heat'el by Sir Julius Vogel, were sworn to prosper the South and impoverish the North. (I use the last sentence advisedly, for Canter' buryandOtagoiouldfar better bear with'

their present poverty, but that they are constantly hearing of tho.,.pros perity and increasing importance '■? of Auckland. That's the gall). Precede by Sir George Grey and Mr Dargaville, our representatives arrived in Wellington. Then came the tug of-war Sir George true to his instincts as leader of the Opposition, smashing everything and everybody ; Mr Dargaville true to himself and the remainder of the " tail" true to Grey, because they were afraid of Paddy Doran's war cry, "Rat!" All chose to playin t j thehands of Sir Julius(for party purposep you kDow), and though the issue for. some time seemed doubtful, the wily Jew eventu aßy became master of the situation at the expense of n portfolio to "my young friend." After drivelling through the session in aii aimless fashion, the mighty "phalanx"re turns beaten, disgraced, and disappointed with th-3 "tail" chopped off at tha stump, the windbag ripped from t<p to bottom anfl hopelessly collapsed ;;jir Tole, with his Hon. prefix and a portfolio as a solatium to the outraged feelings of his constituents and the Auck land people ; and the remainder dropping in as quietly as possible, no doubt cad gelling their brains for the best method; of explaining how disinterestedly they acted in the best interests of their constituents and the " colony at large." Is it not tiino for the Auckland electors to consign theft " political deadbeats " to seclusion ?—I am &c.,

St. Thomas's Churchyard.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The action taken by the authorities of this church in closing the thoroughfare which, if not from " time immemorial," at all ovents so far back as the recollection of our respected "oldest inhabitants" ex tends, has afforded access to the otherwise very inaccessible district of Hepburn-street, has been the causeof much iridignationlately. Crowds of artisans and others may have been seen, early every, morning, for the last week, wending their accustomed way to St.' Thomas's Churchyard, intent on getting; to their various employments, suddenly arrested by finding closed gates across the well-known footpath, and the ominous word "Closed" chalked on a new and quasi-ecclesiastical gateway, surmounted by the emblem of that religion which professes to teach us how to bear each other's burdens, and to make the crooked ways straight, and the rough places smooth, and they turn away sadly or angrily,.ac cording to their various temperaments, and Cseed to climb the hill on either d, or make the best of their way through the adjoining swamp. It is not uninteresting to listen to the various comments that are made by different people on this new and annoying obstruction, "Ah! it was ever thus," ex. claims a cynic, " true to her traditions, 'the1 Church bars the way!'" while an indig. nant Britisher argues hotly that the' bishop and all his clergy have neither, the right nor the power' to close a road through a churchyard, nor; to bar the path to what used to be fondly called " the door of every poor man in the, parish." Others of a more practical turn, say it is a good job it is closed, Uecauig wo may now hope that the Counoil will come to. our assistance and make;a road where it is so badly wanted, and for which wo have hitherto prayed; in vain,. There is yet another class, viz., " the larri kins," who do not trouble about the merits; of the case, but amuse themselves by vaults itig over the obstruction, or gather in knots, of five or six, and hold animated disouegio&B on the advisability of " pullin' thebloorain' fence down," and as public feeling runs so high on the question, I fear they would have many sympathisers in the "pullin' down" business; I should, however, be very sorry to see anything of that sort, and sincerely hope that our City Council will deprive them of any excuse for such lawless conduct by making a road through the " dismal Bwamp" whioh now lies between uh and the city.—l am, &c., ~ Pedestrian. :
