A NEW SCHEME OF SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL REFORM.

We obsorve that at tho last meeting of the Trades and Labour Council a letter was read from Mr W. L. Rees offering to delivor, under the auspices of that organi- Eation, a lecture on land,labour,and capital. From the terms of the letter it appears that Mr Reea intends in some way to join the different factors which produce wealth in order that the land-owner, the capitalist, and the labourer may fairly share between them tho wealth which they conjointly produce. Such a proposition seems simple, and no doubt, were the laws of nature clearly understood and universally obeyed, would be simple both in theory and prac tice. As things are, however, the problem which, as we understand it, Mr Rees pro poses to solve is the most difficult problem in the world, while at the same time it ia incomparably tho most important. The question propounded forms the very bed rock of the difficulties and dangers of civilised society. That all who labour help to make tho wealth of a community is to general truth that few will contradict. How is it, then, that the wealth co made is distributed so unequally, and often so unfairly ? What are the laws which govern the distribution of wealth, and how can they so bo amended as to give to every man that part in the general prosperity which ho has really earned ? To this question the anewer has yoi to be found. Political economists, communist teachers, Utopian dreamers, chartists, reformers, freetraders and pro tectionists, socialists, Christians, and othorwiso, from Plato to Henry Gcnrge, seem all at fault. Upon this quest if i

Holy Grail—this new crusade—many ol t... best men in different ages hare gone, many are now going. In that great army Mr Rees evidently aspires to be enrolled. Will our whilom fellow citizen and representative aid us and all others in the successful search for this true El Dorado? We shall see. Mean while, by all means let us have Mr Rees and his lecture. All discussions upon such great subjects are likely to be useful. Men's minds are enlightened by the con sideration of such matters. Here, living under circumstances of pretty nearly unex ampled prosperity, it is our duty, it ought to. be our pleasure, to do our outmost in with their hands labour for their daily bread should this locture prove interesting, but to those also who endure mental toil. Indeed, the field is bo wide and the dis cussions possible to arise so varied, that all must be more or les3 affected. If the Auck land Trades and Labour Union, by their action in tho matter, can elicit frcm Mr Roos one thought or one principle likely to advance tho solution of the great problem of modern civilisation, they will have achieved a positive good for the whole community.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Auckland Defences.

(To tho Editor.),

Sm,—^Vo were told the other >^ay that the Cabinet had taken into consideration the question of defence, and that Sir Julius Vogel would enlighten us upon the niattor. At the Christchurch banquet last evening it appears to be an exemplification of tho old adages, " parturiunt montes, &c": "The mountain has been in labour and a ridiculous mouse is brought forth." The Govornment havo actually called for tenders for the erection of a travers'ng platform for a small 64-pounder gun at the North Head, tho said platform to be completed in six weeks; and then I suppose in a ftw weeks after some official will bo sent to inspect the work, and in time we may have a one-gun battery in full working order. It is consoling that we may possibly have one gun to fire a salute to the Russian eagle. It seems that this gun is not an armour-piercing one ; of course not; it would not be polite to try to crack the armour after they took the trouble to pay us a visit. With regard to the other defences reoomuiended by Sir William Jorvois, they are. relegated to the dim future; the everlasting Maori word " taihoa "(" wait awhile") appearing to be tho Now Zealand watchword in any import ant crisis. In the present strained relations of England and Russia war may be declared at any moment, and in three or four weeks tho Russian fleet would be in uncomfortable proximity to onr shores. They havo not to come all the way from Petroportovski, as some suppose ; but they have a good har bour and fortress at Vladivostok, which is much nearer. I hope that our Chamber of Commerce will send a strong remon strance to the Government aguinst any fur ther shuffling and humbug in this matter, which is of such vital importance to every member of the community.—l am, etc., Thos. B. Kendeedinb.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —It is comforting to notice that practical men are taking up the question o* defence of our harbour and town from foreign enemies. The suggestion of Capt. Clayton to place a battery on the sum mit of Rangitoto may have startled some of us. Still a recommendation from such an authority as Lloyd's surveyor should not be lightly put aside. In order to give the proposal the consideration it demands, I would suggest that a party consisting of the originator, with his Worship the Mayor, the Chair man of the Harbour Board, the captain of the Naval Brigade, and such other citizens as were thought suitable, should visit the spot, and if the scheme appeared feasible, draw up a memorial to the Hon. the Minister for Defence —I am, &c, Paterfamilias.

(To the Editor.)

Takapuna Licensing Committee,

Sir,—Would it not be well if same of our leading citizens should wait on bis Worship the Mayor, and request him to convene a public meetingasearly as possible for thepur pose of considering what measures of defence it is possible, with the moans at our disposal, to adopt in the present extremity, and not rather wait till compelled to do so by neces sity ? Believing that such an act on tie part of His Worship would be promptly and largely responded to, aud afford an opportunity for discussion.—l am, &c, Pno Patrh.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln reference to the above, please allow me a little of your valuable space. As an elector, I consider it my right to know upon what grounds tho candidates claim my vote. This I do know, so far aB the present Committee are concerned, whom it is sought to re-elect, and the course of whose conduct, in view of the difficult position they occupy, I approve. But the party represented by Messrs Fentor, Vosper, and Mays have given no indication of their programme, and to keep the electoi s in the dark in this manner is hardly fair. They have been asked, but Mr Fenton excuses himself because the querist did not sign his name. This, of course, is an easy way of avoiding awkward questions.

1 should like to ask Mr Fenton if, when he was a Licensing Commissioner, he rigidly enforced the penalty clauses of the Act ?

Does he consider ten o'clock a proper hour to close hotels?

What are his views on, and experience of, ;he barmaid question ?

Is he a member of tho Takapuna Jockey Club?

Woro tho members of that Company annoyed with the Committeo of last year for not granting more licenses than one ?

If elected, how many timea during the year does he propose to license the race course?

Are he and Messrs Vosper and Mays taking up the present contest becau6e of the Jockej Club licence ?

If elected, do they _T" "'■■/""^S^SSSt; the whole«ale license? W 9*° <? <*C . Were they'nominated at an ,W ' ing, or are they trying to eer*.^ «Ket o a clique?
