oaao now than when our policy of borrowing - begun, for the taxation psr head—if we left out of the calculation the cost ot education, which at the period he had indicated was paid by direct taxation—was now '2s lOd per head less than it was in 1870, before the public works began. TIIK HAILWAY.S AMI) IXUIiHASIi (IF TAKIKI'. Now for a few words as to our railways, for this was one of the difficulties entailed by our system of party government. The Government told Parliament last session that they expected a profit of £354,000 to follow the reduction of freight charges for trrain. When this reduction was made the rovomie was elastic, and the Government saw their way to make a slight abatement, for their desire was not to inako a greater profit than they could reasonably expect. He was sorry to say, however, that after giving this reduced tariff a fair trial, they found that, largely owing to the depression in the South, the railways would not produce more than i' 300,000 net, instead of £3S-1,000. Knowing that they could not fulfil their promise to net £180,000, they saw it to bo thoir duty at all hazards to raise the tariff in order to prevent a deficit. It was a bad political move, but their duty was clear. The result was that many dissatisfied members severed their connection with the Government, although one of them declared that with the general policy of the Government lie entirely agreed. The money at their disposal, instead of being spent upon new works as desired, had to be devoted to what wore called open works, such as sidings, rolling-stock, etc. That was another reason for the raising of the tariff. Up to the present the expenditure upon railways amounted to 12g millions. FINANCIAL SEPARATION. Seizing advantage of their difficulties in this respect, the so-called leader of the Op position hud tried to make capital. lie said the so-called leader of tho Opposition advisedly, for every one knew that tho only man capable of leading in the House was ono of their own representatives, viz., Sir Georgo Grey. (Immense applause). Mr Montgomery proposed to shew that the grain rates should not have been increased, and that it was an injustice to Canterbury, but, as usual, ho managed to leave his faots and figures at home. This sapient gentleman spoke of Otago and Canterbury as tho milch cow of the colony upon which Auckland and Wellington principally, lived, and ho strongly advocated the financial separation of the two islands, which could mean nothing loss than financial ruin to both. When the borrowing policy was1 entered upon, it was agreed that the two islands should be fairly treated, but so far tho North Island was behind its neighbour. It was with difficulty that the £1,000,000 vote lor our trunk line was passed through Parliament, and nothing should bo allowed to interfere with tho construction of the needed linos of railway communication between Aucklaad, Wellington, and Taranaki. These wants should not bo imperilled by any talk of financial separation. The Min ister of Public Works —himself an Auck land man—(applause) had taken the trouble to explore the various suggested routes for himself, and was now engaged with the En gineers in preparing a repert for submis sion to Parliament. In that a clear and dis tinct recommendation would be made which the Government were prepared to carry out with all possible expedition. NATIVE LAND rOLICY. Another question of the greatest import ance to this Island, and particularly to this province, was the proper system of dealing with native lands, and the promotion of set tlement thereby. So far as tho general subject of Maori tenuro was con cerned, it was quite certain that the Government would have to take a decided stand, seeiug that tho proposed railway lines would pass through largo areas of native land.—[A voice : " What about the Taranaki breakwater ?"] —Well, lie would speak about that if his friend so desired, and any other subject he liked after the address was finished. Reverting to tho native land question, what the Government were going to propose was this : That all private dealing either by purchaso or lease should cease with the Maoris. They would propose that the Maoris should have the right of placing their land under the Crown Lands Boards of the various districts for sale or lease, as they might think best, and it would be proposed, no doubt, if that were done, that one or two natives should be placed upon each of these Boards. Tho Government would also retain to itself the right o£ purchase of any native lands it deemed desirable. All who knew Maori habits and customs would see that matters would be greatly expedited if the Crown purchased diroctly. (Hear, hear.) It was proposed also to allow a fair majority of the natives who owned any block of land to insist on its proper disposal,—reserves, of course, being inauo for roads, public pur poses, Maoris, etc. Payment would not be made all in cash. As they wero aware, the state of things at present was such that the whole of tlie money disappeared almost as • soon as received, leaving no good behind. The Government would only pay a small sum in cash, and give the rest in an liuitios extending over a number of years. Provision would also be made for small ad vances in the way of cash, if they were're quired, upon the land placed in the custody of the Land Boards for sale. Now that was a rough sketch of tho Govern ment's proposals upon this question. It was of enormous importance to this district and to the colony at large, and it required careful attention in order to sco if it would achieve the object tho Government had in v i ew _th© opening up of the country for the settlement of a thriving population. If it would not do this, it ought to bo rejected and replaced with something better. At any rate, the present condition of things could not be continued. It! was a scandal to civilisation, and as they now; proposed to open up public works there would be still, further scandal if. private individuals were to be allowed to reap the benefits which the State was entitled to obtain. • •■ • " ' FEDEftATIOS AND ANNEXATION. The questions of federation and annexation wflro, also of great importance to. the colony, and notwithstanding tho opposition offered toitin many quarters he was'convinced, after corefiil consideration, that it was of. immense importance. If New Zealand neglected to take her proper share in deal ing with It, great disasters would fall upon her. .He only asked,them to give the ques tion their serious consideration, for they would be most powerfully affected by it; and if they did not act wisely they would have to bear , the liability. He re minded them that people in Great Britain were already beginning i. to. talk of throwing the whole cost of naval defence uport the colonies, and he pointed outhow France wasmenacing their peace and security by proposing to transport her criminals to our very doors. This restless nation was also extending her colonial possession in these seas, and at present we were debarred from active pre cautionary measures by the tedious circum locutory process of getting authority from Englandorconvincingherof the necessity for action. The Imperial Government declared that it could not grant the desired powers to individual colonies, but it was favourablejto transferring such authority to a federation, of the colonies. That was a great step in advance, and it waß for* the purpose of appropriating this .boon that tho conference of colonial delegates at Sydney recommended federation.. If they wished a larger measure of freedom, a great opportunity of protecting them- Reives, and the necessary means of mould ing their own future, they should vote right on this question when the ejection time came around. COLOURED LABOUR, i [A voice: "What about coloured labour?"] As hisunknown friend had broached the sub ject of coloured labour, he would take the op- Wrtunity to say a few words on it presently, hat would happen was that if a strict police was not soon established in these seas, those islands would be depopulated, and there would be no cultivating them. What they wanted was a protectorate over them, cultivating them, and fos tering and establishing trade. —[A voice: "What about life insurance? J— The speaker retorted that he would speak about that presently. He could not take up their time by proving that white people could not live in these islands. It wa3 a fact that there were many islands which were of immense value to us where white men could never live, or flourish, and where the coloured races should be con served. He agreed a great deal with the report by the Commission of which Sir Arthur Gordon (hisses) was a member, which said that the Polynesian labour trade should not be carried on by irresponsible agent?. Hedidnotbelieveinallthestatoments at Exeter Hall. They knew there had boon, exaggerated stories about the Maoris, and also about the Polynesians. But that trade should be regulated by an outside country, and not one which required the labour. When in Australia, he found that the feeling was strongly opposed to the introduction of coloured labour. There were portions of that coun try that could be cultivated by white, men,' and he did not think coloured labour should be introduced where white men could work. But he thought .the coloured races should be protected, and not allowed to be run

over. (Cheers. ) ' They should consider that" wo had duties and responsibilities in connec tion'with the policy in those seas which they could notftscape from. The European I races must dominate ,111 these seas. It waa i certain that Australia would federate ore ' long, and theu, ho asked, whore would we be ? And he believed it was not (lie in -1 tention hero to give up the trade in the South Seas. OUR REAL WANTS. Whatthey wanted wasamixedcommunity, ineludingbothfarmeraand manufacturers, so that each might take to what he liked best. They wanted an opening for all classes of porsoris, desiring to take to different trade?. The first question was the occupation of the land. They wanted to get all the poople they could on the land on conditions that would make it profitable for them to cultivate it. LAND TEStFRE. From the property tax returns, there appeared to Do a large number of persons in the colony holding freeholds. He was surprised to sco that thero were more than 71,240 freeholders in the colony outof a total maloadultpopulationoflu'2,ooo. Thatmeant that every second man they met was a free holder, lie must confess that ho wished the other 71,000 were also freeholders.— [Cries of "Mo! No!"] He would explain what ho meant, lie thought the people should have some permanent tenure, al though he was not prepared to say that free hold tenuro was tho bost. What he desired was to see every man witli a family having a piece of land on which he might build a house. That.inacolonylikothia.wasatwhat thoy should aim. It would undoubtedly take a long time to arrive at a state of things like that. It was satisfactory that 71,000 persons out of 150,000 were free holders, and more satisfactory still that out of tho number in question 31,000 woro owners of five acres of land and upwards ; that is, that 31,000 persons were what thoy might call agriculturists. The Government had in course of preparation— but it would not be ready for two or threo months—a Doomsday Book.—[A voice : 1' Another idea of Sir George Groy 's."] (Ap plause.)— This would contain tho actual holdings of overy man throughout tho colony, with the name, ex teut and valuo of tho land, and stating tho borough or town in which it is situated.—[A voice : " What would bo the cost?"]—Oh, tho cost was very groat. It would, he might say, be moro perfect and more complete than any book of tho class he had known of. Looking at tlio facts and at tho number of people interested in land, thoy might congratulate themselves on their favourable position for making progress on tho onward race. BIMIftUATIOS. Ho would now say a few words in reference to immigration. Ho did not bo lievo it would bo at all desirable to renew free immigration, but he was disposed to continue nominated immigration. [Cries of "No! no ! and thero ore too many."] They had asked his opinion, and ho was just giving it for what it was worth. His busi ness was to be perfectly frank with them. Thoy would find if they w-ere to look at tho histories of other colonies that when immi gration ceased to flow there were stagnation and falling wages. (Applause and cries of "No.") His opinion was that so aure as immigration ceased, so sure thore would bo depression and falling wa^os. Suppose things here were a little dull, although lie was thankful to say they were not, what would it mean? [A Voice : "Over-immigra tion."] No, it would mean that there were more poople than they had work for. What were those poople? Supposing thoy were carpenters, a ship came in, and bruoght passengers who required houses built. Thero was work directly, [dries of " No," and in terruptions. A voice inquired " How if they can't aftbrd to put up houses ?"] The speaker, referring to. the interruptions, said tho gentlemen who had interjected remarks evidently snpposed the people coming in were all carpenters. But of course it was clear that if they had too many carpentors, and those.who were coming wore also carpenters, thoro would bo too many. TheGovermnentwhodid that, hoconsidored, would be deserving of censure. What they wanted were people of tho right class. [Cries of "Speculation," " Working up the Land Sales," and "Lamb and Is 6d por day."] The interruptions were so frequent and continued that the Chairman was com pelled to interfere to restore order. He pointed, out that in such a large gathering as the present ouo it was unlikely that they could all bo of tho same mind, and thereforo those who did not agree with tho speaker should reserve their remarks until tho conclusion of the speech. Order was eventually rostored, and the speaker proceeded. He admitted that it was riot extraordinary that peoplo •should make interjections on a subject which deeply interested them without having giving duo woight to the arguments ,to the contrary. To his mind it was quite ' certain that if they ceased to poople. tho country it would got depopulated. Hoasked them to trace the matter out in tho histories of other countries. Ho did not wish them to think that.he advocated tho shovelling in of labourers indiscriminately into a country when labourers wero not required, or intro ducing carpenters when thoy were not wanted. But it should bo remembered that we had oight million acres of land unculti vated. Every man we brought out capable of cultivating must bring, with him nrtizaus and labourers. They must, he considered, soe tho truth of what he was telling them. It was not by impatience or clamour that the question could be settled, but rather by close examination and nrgumont. They must do their best to obtain the right sort of immigrants to occupy tho land, and .■with them they would get prosperity and employment. They wanted to en courage local industries.and .manufactures. And hero lie might proceed to point out how they could help themselves. The estab lishment of industries in a country where labour and capital were dear was difficult, and the struggle to.maintain the articles manufactured enormous. They should always assist local industries by pnrchaang 'Ideally-manufactured .articles where they could be obtained aVanything like a reason able cost. . ...

SUDDEN DEATH IN PONSONBY.

Considerable surprise was occasioned in the Home Bay district this morning by the hews of the rathor sudden, and certainly unexpected death of Mr J. B. Adham, a well-known resident there. The|melan choly! naturo of the circumstances is deepened by the fact that, for some few wee\s past, the family have been actively engaged in making preparations for departure to Sydney, in consequence of Mrs Adnam's delicate state of health, and that they were to have sailed this evening by tho Waihora, the eldest son having already preceded them. The deceased disposed of his house and property in Argyle-etreet a day or so since to Mr Slator, lessee of the market, for £1,223, and his household property was sold on Friday last. Mr and Mrs Adnam then be came the guests of Mr Andrew Stewart, and the afflicted lady still remains there. Yesterday the deceased was backward and forward several times between the town and Ponsonby, and the worry and excitement consequent upon his arrangements for de parture to-day must have told upon him. At any rate; while returning home between 5 and C o'clobk p.m., lie seems to have been seized with a sudden vertigo, or faintness, near tho top of Curran-street, ■ for he was observed to cling to the fence for support, and then fall to the ground. The person who noticed this went to the unfortunate gentleman's assistance, and, finding him helpless, had him carried to Mr Steward's, ■« hither Dr. Knight was soon afterwards brought, in order to render medical aid. All human skill, however, was futile. Tho patient steadily sank, and between 9 and 10 p.m. breathed his last. Wo understand' that the cause of death was stated to be tetanus, though it is not clear from what it results. The deceased had been some 15 or 10 years in Auckland, having come here originally from Sydney, where his friends reside. For many years he was manager of Messrs L. D, Nathan and Co.'s Manchester Department, ond for the last three years ho occupied o similar position in Messrs Owen and Graham's warehouse Ho leaves a wife ar.d a family of six children—four sons and two daughters.

A Local Dispute Adjusted.

• Wanoanui, this day.—Mr Fitzgerald, Commissioner of Audit, has adjusted the : accounts between Wanganui and Waitara Counties. Both assets and liabilities are to be divided in proportion to their rateable value. One of the liabilities stated by the Wanganni County was that of "Bridge maintenance for 20 years," a clause in the Bill making the maintenance an equal charge on County, Borough, and Harbour Boards. The Commissioner doubted his power to make an award on rateable value for 20 veara. but would tnke legal advice. His Excellency the Governor, accompanied by the Chairman and other members of the Harbour Board, left for North Shore in a "ferrry steamer late this afternoon for the •purpose of visiting the new dock in course 1 of formation at Calliope Point.
