THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

Mr W. F. Buokland at Otahuhu,

Me AY. F. Buokland delivered the first"* a sorie»of political addresses to the oleotf 8 of Franklin North at tho Otahuhu Pul)Jc Hall last evening. Tliore was a largo bm tondanco. Mr A. SWKOEH, who was voted to thochiir> introduced tho speaker in a brief spoe^' during which ho pointed out that in i° present critical condition of affairs it fa the duty of the electors to return only tbs>° men who would strive for the welfare tA promotion of .tho bost interests of fle colony. Mr Btokland then came forward, tA was received With cheers. He comment his address with ft sketch of the rec*'.^ session of Parliament, in which tho'Opp*'" tion caino in for 0 rather severe handlitf- It was liis opinion that tho real reason •**< first of tho Opposition trying to got &° Government out was to secure a dissolution It was understood that they were anxio" 8 for it at first, although they did not npp* r to bo so much so afterwards, At all evonlß' the dissolution had taken place, rind n general election was close at hand. TWO was no doubt that tho elections would'lo mostimportant. They would decide thcquts" tion whether or not Auckland was to bo ruled by the South ; and also, whether ti*° Government was to remain in oiiicci He considered that the present Ministry fairly represented the North Island, and conse quently wiih entitled to support. Mr Mitchelson was the first Minister 4* Public Works from Auckland, aid ho had proved an excellent member of tho Cabinet" already. Ho had gone practically into the question of the North Island railway routes besides having carried out important reforms in tho sen ice. Mr Bryco, who also belonged to the North Island, w.'ih, in his opinion, the only Natirc Minister wo ever had. There wan no moo bcr of the Ministry he admired more than Mr liryco. The speaker proceeded to eulogiso the Native Ministerfor hisadminli tration of the department, and expressed admiration with tho manner in which k had dealt with the West Coast imtite difficulty. Thoso two members of the Cabinet, he said, would always hare hi! support. Miijor Atkinson was a good Minister of Finance, and was not nearly so bad as ho was made out to be. Mrßuckland proceeded to refer to tho increase in tin grain charges made by Mr Mitchclson, and tho coneequcnt determination of the Canterbury members to ount the G& verhment from office. He considered that a section of tho Auckland members were to blame for assisting them in the objects for which they were banded together. Auck> land had already suffered greatly from -Southern rulo, and he was convinced that cvon yet tho South could rule tho North by a combination of Otago and Canterbury member?, with a few Westland votes. Therefore, tho electors should bo alivo to their own interests, and return only men who would be-truo to thorn. It would be a mistake if the North Island wero to send representatives to Wellington who wore disposed to n°."ii>t tho South under the

circumstances indicated, Mr Buckland proceeded to .«hov that the deficit of the Ministry had imperilled the construction of tho Auckland Railway Station, and de-

layed the important nnhemo for carrying a lino of railway through the North Island. Returning to the burning questions of the day, ho caid he would support the native policy of Mr Bryce. lie was in favour of preemptive right and the abolition of Na tivo Lands Courts, When the pre-emptive ric;ht was established he would advocate the celling of the land by auction. The Govern ment ought not to have the right of trailicin land with private individuals. A great runny members were dealing in land, nnd there would be strong oppo sition to tho pre-emptive right. He was prepared to insist on the immediate construction of tho Auckland Railway Sta tion, and would oppose further delay in proceeding with tho Auckland-Taranaki railway line. The coastal lino waa, in his opinion, foolish, for although it would «liort.cn the distance to Tnranaki by about twenty miles, it would not open up the country. He believed in the middle route, which would tap the back of TaranaM, bring all the trade from that place, open up a valley on either side of the lino, and would also run through a possible mineral country. Ho was not in favour of the other route, known as the Central

i,mo. As they were aware, lie had been on the Hoard of Education for some timo, and his views on the education quests*-** ns?ro known to most of them. Ho would support tho present ays-tern of free primary secular education, but thought secondary education -liotilrJ be paid for. It was unfair that the >«odr of rich men should get their advanced education in tho secondary schools at the expense of the people, when they could afTurcl to pay for it. The question of taxa tion was one which did not appear to be generally understood, and he wished to say ; a few words upon" it. It was said that Customs duties should be taken off certain articles, but as a rule it appeared to him that most of tho cheaper goods were free or lightly taxed, and under the present system the tax fell, as it should do, most heavily on goods which might be described as luxuries. Tlio nrqperiy - iux was, in his opinion, a? fair iU any tax that had been imposed in Xew Zealand. Property under the tax was assessed at eiehty millions, but'tho exemp tions amounted to forty millions. " Ho did not think the tax was fairly collected. Comparing the land tax with the property tax, ho said tho unfairness of tho former was that while the rate was on land in the country, the acre section in Queen-street of much greater valuo was exempted. He considered an incorao tax to bo the best of all, and would bo disposed to advocate a combined property, land, and income tax. lie thought an acreage tax on first, second, third, and fourth-class land would bo fair. The cost of collection might be simplified, and absentees got at. He would support Civil Service retrenchment, by which means at least £70,000 per annum might bo saved. Large reductions were possible, and especially in the Constabulary. Ho had seen the immense army of civil servants trooping out of the Government Buildings at Wellington, and he thought thoy might be lessened. He was opposed to tho National Insurance scheme, and eon siderod the recent Government insurance disclosures discreditable. Railwaysshouldbe made self-supporting. When in Wellington two sessions ago, he was amused at tho large amount of timo frittered away in useless dis cussions on technical and trivia) questions of no consequenco, while estimates and bills of the greatest importance to the welfare of tho country were hurried through in a reck less and astonishing manner. The colony, in its presont state, demanded that iU affairs should bo better and more closely lookod into than thoy are at present, especially when so much was paid for the services of the representatives. Ho believed tho roal quostion a* issue during the cloctions would bo whother thoy were going to support Sir Julius Vogel and a Southwn Ministry, or Major Atkinson and a Northorn Cabinet. He was deter mined to give his support to the presont Ministry, provided always they did riot break their pledgo to proceed with the North Island trunk railway. He thoroughly understood the wants of the farming interest, and from the poorest to the richest man ho would try and do every one common justice. There appeared to bean idea that tho Opposition should havo beon allowed an opportunity to form a scratch Ministry, who would continuo to govern tho colony with a scratch policy. He«con sideredthecourso'adopted, however, was the best, and was inclined to believe these elec tions would be tho fairest carried out. Mr Buckland then proceeded to refer to the general question of the progress of the colony. He said it was apparent that farming had not been profitable lately, and more encouragement should be givon by the Government, either by opening up new mar kets, encouraginglocalindustries, &o. Heob jocted to the indiscriminate introduction of immigrants to tho colony. If there were large blocks of land for settlement, he thought thoy should bo offered oneasy terms, so that people already hero might have the same facilities for settlement as new arrivals. All information should be given in England regarding tho lands available to encourage a suitable class of new settlers. He would oppose in a word further free immigration. He was an Aucklander at heart, and if elected would do his best for this part of the colony, and for the country as a whole. There was no danger of his over selling Auckland, and he would always remember that its interests were best conserved by tho general progress and prosperity of New Zealand,

In reply to questions, Mr Buckland said :—(1) He would object to any altera tion in the education system so far as the country districts were concerned, but in the town ho thought the school age should be raised from 5 to 7. (2) This was the third timo he had stoad for Franklin North, and tho fourth timo for the Frank lin District. (3) Ho was not /the only Auckland solicitor in favour of dcfeng away with the Native Lands Courts* (4) Mr Hogan, who asked this question Jjfrfled to aeo anything creditable in thcgglwiduct of Mr Bryce three or four yefsMiiW, when he destroyed the native cropraßHUthtnlaup plied the Maoris with flour PB.™BkWi %

™r £?l a!di he coneid<*ed Mr Bryce relieved the colony from a critical rxwrtfnn at that period. (5) He would opwseZ rt 6nV nJl oW? r,to have fto construction^ the .North Island trunk railway carried out. 7) When ho was in tho Board of Education ho assisted to raise the school ago to seven years, but peoplo from the country said it would never do, and con sidonng he was representing the country ho voted for the return to the old system' He thought tho school ago in town should bo seven, but in the country unless it were «tW "i Ot be aWo t0 the salar es-for the teachers. (8) The Opposition did not find out that it was unconstitutional to ask for a dissolution until Mr Rolleston ".formed them of tho fact. If the OpposU tion had wanted to come before tho country in any oetter light than a defeated Opposi tion they should have managed things, better than they did. (9) Ho threw tho onus of the dissolution upon the Opposition (10) He considered tho Taranaki line the most expensive por mile, but not for the whole line. He would take any line that thoy would bo sure of, but for choice weuld prefer the middle route. (11) The lino ho preferred was the one starting from Marton (12) Ho would not support tho line from Napier to Te Awamutu if it would inter fere with tho Taranfkl, but he would lika to sco both. (13) He believed eventually a railway would go to Napier, but not from To Awamutu. (14) The junc tion of the line he preferred was at Tara naki, just behind Mount Egmont. (15) He would rathernotspoak aboutthe honorarium question, but it appeared to him that when the_ Opposition made up thoir minds to get a dissolution thoy also made up their minds to ask for the honorarjura. (10) The amount paid this cession for honorariums was £43,d00. (17) If he had been pre viously elected, and the settlers had re quired a bridge over the Tainaki River, bo would have advocated it. (18) Primary oducation, he'eonsidered, should bo free, secular, and compulsory. (19) If Sir Juliug V'ogel's policy went in for borrowing again, he would oppose him tooth and nail. He did not think there was any chance of Sir Julius joining Major Atkinson. (20) Ho would oppose any alteration to the Licens ing Act. Notwithstanding all that was said against tho Auckland Licensing Benches, ho thought they had done a great deal of good. (21) 1/ elected, he would use his best efforts to get a court-house erected in Otahuhu. Ho thought Otahuhu would soon bo a suburb of Auckland, and that numerous villa residences would be built there. (22) He did not think the Manukau and Waitemata canal would bo aecom plishedinourlifotimes. (23) Peoplcwhowere victimised by the salo of adulterated goods had their remedy at law, but purchasers should buy from honest tradespeople. He thought there should be an inspector of manures, as n groat deal of useless stuff was at present sold as manure.

Major Harms asked if Mr Buokland would attend his meeting on Thursday night, when he would show tho opposite side of the picture in regard to the Opposi tion.

Mr Bccklasd paid he was not afraid to moet any man anywhere, but for more than a week he had had a meeting adver tised for next Thursday at Wniroa South, and if he did not keep this engagement with the electoW of that district, the conso quenccs would be disastrous to himself. This movo appeared to him very like the recent action of the Opposition in connec tion with tho dissolution. . : ':,

In reply to other questions, MrißucK lan'u said he would not support the doing away with tho present Education Board?, although the cost of administration might be reduced.

Mr 0. C. McGee moved a vote of confi dence in Mr Buckland. In doing so, he said that since Sir George Grey's advent in the interests of the people, he had supported him. But he could net admire his action nor that of the Opposition in the recent qpgsion. He thought they would have an admirable representative in Mr W. F. Buckland, who was a native of the soil. He considered the recent course followed by Sir George Gre^ and the Opposition was not in the interests of the colony. Sir George, he reckoned, was caught as the fly is caught by tho spider. The spider was represented by tho South Island mem bers, who were jealous of the progress of Auckland under the presont Government. Mr McGee, who is a decidedly fluent speaker, gave the Opposition a most effec tive and scathing dressing-down in a ten minutes' speoch, "in tho fastest time on record."

Mr WiLtiAH Stanley, of Taranaki, seconded tho motion.

Mr Lockhart moved, as an amendment, " That this meetincr has no confidence in Mr Buckland."

About six or seven hands were held upfor the amendment, and when tho motion ac cording Mr Buckland a vote of confidence was put, about one hundred hands went up. The voteof confidence wasdeclared carried by a large majority.

Mr Buckland returned thanks; and the meeting terminated with cheers.

" Dear Sirs,—l feel it incumbent on my part to inform you of tho great benefit I have re ooived from the use of St. Jacobs Oil. Spine three years ago I injured my left log and knea to that extent I thought I had become a- per manent cripplo. lly knee-cap' was twice Its natural sizo. and my leg was so contracted and shortened that I could not walk "without con siderable pain and inconvenience. During that time I had tried remedies innumerable,.but without receiving the slightest benefit until I gave St. Jacobs Oil a trial, and, much to my delight and astonishment, I began to get bettor, and before the contents of the bottle wore hall used both my log and knee assumed their normal condition, and to-day I am entirely free from pain, and can walk as well as ever I did in my lifo. I heartily recommend St. Jacob! Oil to any one suffering from pain, and foel satisfied it has no equal" for tho cure of chronic and contracted limbs.—l remain, dear Sirs, youri faithfully, C. C.
