HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, last night,

Railway Reform,

In the House, this afternoon, Mr Samuel asked a question in effect whether Mr Vaile'a proposals bad been considered by the Government.

Mr Kichamson, in reply, said :Mr Vaile's proposals have been brought under the notice of several Ministers, both in previous Governments, as also in the pre sont, and Mr Vaile has had a very long in terview with me, extending ovor some hours. Mr Vaile's proposals have been varied so much from time to time that it is impossible to say whether they all havo been considered. At the interview 1 had with Mr Vaile, I pointed out to him that he a Imitted he did not understand the system of the working of the present tariff, which is ba-ed on those existing on railways in other parts of the world. I also pointed out to him that he raised a large question of policy by laying it down as a basis that it is most mischievous to attempt to make tho railways pay interest. I went carofully ovor his diagrams and his proposals, as far as he chose to submit them to mo, and the rosult was that I informed him ho had not convinced me of tho practicability of his proposals, and that I could not see my way tc recommend his scheme to be tried, as according to his own showing a largo loss must immediately remit to the revenue, although he states that in future there will be an equally large increase. The sttte ments made that the department has re fused to consider tho proposals are there fore iiu orrect. Bviden.ec Amendment Bill- There was an interesting discuseion over Mr Downie Mkwaiit's Evidence Further Amendment Bill, in moving tho second reading of which ho stated that it sought to lessen expanses to sui'.ow, and to prevent the bolstering up by the police of evidence against prisoners. Tiie Premikk, Mr Connolly, and others Raid that boforo confessions could be made in evidonco in tho manner that the bill suggested, all police officers would havo to be made justices of tho peace. This remark was occasioned by the provision that no confession or statement by a prisoner shall bo admissiblo as proof of guilt unless such confossion is mado beforo a J.l\ Tho several speakers approved of thfl ro form which tho measure proposed, and the second reading passed without dissent. Notices of Questions. Notieos of questions for to-morrow woro given as follows : —That copies of all corro- Kpondonco relating to the construction of the proposed graving dock at Port Chalmors which had passed between tho Government und Otago Harbour Board bo laid on tho table (Mr Koss) ;if Government will give tho Now Zealand Ineuranco Company of Auck land tho samo privileges aa those given to tho Accident Assurance Association of New Zealand, Dunedin, with rcforonco to tho iesuo of accidont tickots at railway sta tions (Mr Peacock). Answers to Questions. Ministers, in answer to questions, stuted that Government had mado no arrange ments for continuation of San Francisco mail service, but aa scon as tho financial debato was disposed of, a resolution would bo brought down asking the authority of the House to enter into a fresh contract. In future, yes-els would not bo quarnn tind on arrival from Australia, tho ports tlioro buing considered freo from infectious disease It was desirable to grant long-corvico mudala to those members of tho police furce whoso long sorvlco and good conduct entitled them to somoauch recognition, and stops would bo taken in that direction. Survey of the Coast, Mr Macandrew, in moving that a ro i<pcetful address bo transmitted to tho Go vernor, to tho ellbct that ho may bo pleased to call tho attention of the Imporial Government to tho necessity for a fresh survey of the coast of Now Zealand, and on a more detailed BCale than appears on the chart at present, and that His Excel loncy bo requested to inform tho Imporial Government th it tho colony will, if nocos sary, bo prepared to placo at the disposal of tho Admiralty the services of tho Hinemoa and Stolla, .or other suitable veseols, said tho motion ■ was occasioned by tho recent striking of tho lonic on her recog nised coureo from Napior to Wellington. If anything had happened to tho ve3sol, tho loss would have boen somothing enormous. Ho was awaro that at other parts of tho coast vossols had struck whoro no danger was indicated on the chart. It was now 40 yoars since a propor survoy had boon mado of tho coast, and ho thought it of tho utmoat importance that tho Government should ondeavour to get an accurato marine survey now mado. Mr Laknach said tho 'jovermnent woro in possepsion of tho opinions of two of theii principal otlicors, Cuptains Johnson and Fairchild, which was to tho effect ihat a re-survey of tho coast was not necessary. Ho had a memo, from thobo oflicere, and for tho satisfaction of tho House would road what they had to say on tho subject. Thoy were not awaro that any shoal existed where tho lonic struck, but in ordor to satisfy tho Government on the point, tho Stella was to make a survoy of tho placo. Tho Government would bo vory glad to consider the question of employing tho Stolla or Hinemoa in making a re survoy of certain parts of the coast. Ho suggested that tho motion bo withdrawn. Mr Macanuuew had no wish to press tho question. Whilo not wishincr to sot his opinion against those of Capt. Johnston and Fairchild, he thought that the formor officer in his memo, gave good reasons why a com plete survey of the coast should bo made. The motion was thon withdrawn, Agent-Gonoralehip Correspondence Mr Kollestok asked, without notice, whether tho Hoase may expect tho general correspondence with tho Agent General to bo laid on tho tablo, and when despatches from tho Government will be laid on the table, Mr Stout replied that the correspondence had been in the printers' hands for soma weeks, and as soon as printod would be luid on tho table. Customs Dutice. In answer to Mr Suoiue Mackenzie, who asked without notice if tho House is to un derstand that it is tho intention of the Government to bring down in usual course tho Customs Duties Bill immediately tho rosolutiousinCommittee of Ways and Means are disposed of, the Premier replied in the affirmative. Friendly Societies AcOAmontJmont. In moving tho adjournment for a fortnight of the Friendly Societies Act Amondment Bill, Mr O'Connor said ho was desirous, before bringing it on, of communicating with tho various friendly societies in tho colony. Bating Aot Amendment. Mr Tcknuull moved the second reading of the Eating Act Amendment Bill. Be explained that his desire to allow the property of friendly societies to be exempt from rating was in consequenco of the great benefit they conferred by relieving distretß and taking care of their members, many of which caees would otherwise fall on Govern ment. Aftor a few remarks by the Premier and Captain Russell, the second reading passed, and the committal was fixed for this day fortnight. Folicercon's Franchise. Mr Guinness moved the second reading of his A.C. Act 1867 Amondment Bill. Ho explained that under tho A.C. Act members of the Armed Constabulary force and polico force were debarred from exercising their votes. Last session the House affii mcd the principle of extending franchise to tlieso men. Major ATKissoN expressed surprise that the Government gave the measure their support. Personally ho did not approve of it. tie thought it established a most dan gerous precedent, and, so far as he knew, was not permitted in any country. If the proposal were agreed to, Government would bo giving great powor in affecting elections, and tho Government of tho dhy would bo placed in the position uf being accused of favouritism, if it wero necessary for thsm to shift members of tho A.C. in a body about election time. Mr Ballance supported the right to vote being given to the civil polico only. The second reading was carried by 4G to 22. Abolition of Coroners' Juries In moving the second reading of the Coroners' Juries Abolition Bill, Mr Guin ness said the proposal would meot with considerable favour in country districts, and more especially in outlying districts. The Ministerfor Justicesaid thattoseekto abolish coroners'juries altogetherwasralher a sweeping change. He had already pro mised, if time permitted, to introduce this session a bill reducing the number of jurors from 12 to, say, 4 or 6, except in special coses, when perhaps it would be better to have the assistance of 12 jurymen. Under these circumstances, he hoped that

and there was nothing final or conclusive of the second reading for a Afht was carried on the voices.

THE TARIFF DEBATE.

Governmant Proposals Slaughtered.

(BY TELEGRAPH-PARLIAMENTARY REPORTJiR.)

Wellington, Wednesday. On the House resuming at 7.30, Sir Julius Vociei, made a long statement with respect to the basis on which the Government pro posed to amend the Customs Tariff Bill, and appealed to hon. members to discard from their minds all they heard outside the House, both aa to the intention of the Government and as to the effect of the tariff, because there was no doubt that the changes proposod were less oppressive than any othor tariff charges submitted to the House. Borne of the changes proposed to be made were based upon the large number of representations received on the subject of the tariff since the resolutions were passed after the delivery of the Financial Statement. Generally speaking, he might say the changes would have the effect of increasing the duties in what might be called luxuries in opposition to what might be termed the necessaries of life. They had endeavoured not to deal with the subject in a wholesale way, but to give every representation made careful consideration. Tho representa tions made had been very extensive in their nature. They had come properly from per sons who were affected by the proposed changes. They had also come from persons who were disappointed and did not consider the changes desirable, and also from persons who were experts, and had kindly given the Government aseit-tance which they could Imve hardly asked before bringing down the proposals without running the risk of prematurely disclosing their proposals. Id regard to the coal duty, in conee quonce of representations that had been made, which were uniform and unanimous in their character, tho.Government had re luctantly felt compelled to withdraw th&t proposal. Ho read a ttlegram from the manager of the VVaikato Coal Company, stating that in the absence of the proposed duty it was likely that they would have to closo tho mino, as it would bo impossible to compote with tho imported coal. Ho went through the proposed alterations, and ex pluiced that whereas there had been (ive olnsßos of weuring apparel and drapery under thoreßolutions bioughtdown after the financial Statement, it was proposed, that the I'd might be no confusion in classification, todividetheßeintotwolines-namely.onefree and tho other 10J per cont He explained that the alteration would mean a total loss to tho revenue from drapery of £20,000 or i' 21,000, mid this amount would bo com ponsated for by tho additional lJr per cent, which would bo added to other urticles of drapery; so that tho changes in drapery might be said to about balanco thomselvea. From a revenue point of viowthoro would bo a lons of £B,C )0 or £10,000 on the remission of proposed coal duty. Ho donied that 15 per cont. duty on boots and shoes would be crushing, as had been stated. From that he estimated an additional return of £8.000, and said that tho duty on the finer class of thoso goods would not fall on tho poorer classes. It was proposed to make agricul tural improvements and fittings, explo sives, machinery for rope-making, gold saving, and drain-pipo making exempt from duty. As to tho duty on jam pulp, tho Government would for tho year reduce tho duty from 2d to Id per Ibj although he could hardly sny that such a decision was to be justified by any reasonable argument. (Hear.) It would be better they should, when going into Committee, de.al eoparatoly with each item, and before concluding, he wished ta appeal to hon. n.embers as strongly as bo could do not to refuse t) grant the aid to rovenu.e which they asked through the means of the Customs tariff, To the free list would also be added articles of molcekinß and corduroy, which had been omitted from the list by mistake. Ho donied that public opinion was greatly against tho tariff, but of course those whose intorests wero affected raised a cry, while thofo wliopo intorests wore not affected made no demonstration one way or the other. So far as the Government were con cerned, and members could take the state ment for what it was worth, he affirmed that they had been given to understand that tho proposals of the Government had met with tho support of a largo majority of persons throughout tho colony. He denied that tho question of free trade and pro tection was now raised, and affirmed that the tariff for years had boon a protectivo one, and that its tenor had been to stimulato local indus tries. He moved that tho Spoaker now leave tho chair for the purpose of going i^.to Committeo of Ways and Means to con .sidor tho resolutions in the absence of the Chairman of Committees, Major Stowaul acting in his place. Mr Bakron a«ked, before Major Steward put the resolution, that ho should make it porfectly clear whether in the event of any or all tho items in the schedule being negatived, tho House would simply fall back on the dutios which were in force boforo tho Financial Statement was made. The Premier, suggested that the hon. gentleman should move specific duties when tho itoms came up netiatv/1 if ho had any objection to them. M r BAitnoN: My course is perfectly clear. I intend to, negative all the pro posals for an increase of Customs duty. My object in asking the question is that the Chairman shall make it clear whether, if we negative any particular item, we fall back on tho old tariff in voguo before Par liament mot. Mr Stout :If the resolutions wero nega tived, the Committee would fall back on tho resolutions paf-sed on tho 19th ult. Major Atkinson urged that if the Com ; mittee decided there should be no increase," tho tariff that existed before Parliament met would again come into force. Mr Stodt said it was quite apparent tho position the member for Egmont intended taking up. He desired to throw out the tariff completely, in which case ho thought the Government would resign. While saying that if tho present resolutions were thrown out, the Committeo would Birnply fall back on tho resolutions of Juno 19th, headmitted that these wero subeequontly rescinded. Mr Montgomery said that ho for one did not wish to oppose every item on which an increase was sought. The Government bad made a number of concessions, and might yot agree to more. Instead of a?king the Committee to either negative the whole schedule, or affirm tho whole schedule, he proposed that every item be put separately. He pointed out to the Committee that the Government had been anxious to make con cessions, and they would probably accept the opinion of the Committee with respect to other concessions ; but to meet the Go vernment by an adverse vote upon the whole of tlio fchedule would not carry out the wish.S3 of those members who desired to see the Customs Tariff rovisod, and yet would not feel justified in supporting a dead hostile vote. The Colonial Trkasurkb appealed to Major Steward not to allow members to burke inquiry by declining to give a full opportunity of considering oach item seriatim. He intended moving each item separately. The item, spirits, 14s Cd a gallon, was first put, and a division was called for. The increase was agreed to by 55 to 28. —Mr Seddon moved the excision of tho oxtra six pence a gallon sought to be put on Austra lian wines. - Sir Julius Vogel suggested tho withdrawal of the motion. ' New Zealand >-hould not give tho Australian colonies this advantage without asking from them some coi respond ing advantages. —Mr Hurst thought this would set an example to New South Wales, inasmuch as that tho quantity of Australian wine consumed in New Zealand was a mere bagatelle. If we tried Australia, New South Wales would probably tax our oats. -Mr Seddon asked leave to withdraw his proposition. Mr Barron, however, called for a division. Tho item and increaso was affirmed, tie voting being: Ayes, 43 ; noes, 20. As eocn as the item tea was announced, half-a-dozin members rose to their feet. Mr Turnbull was the first to catch Major Steward'e eye. He proposed that tho duty en tea of tho declared value of sixpence be Id in the lb, and of the declared value of a shilling and over, twoponce.—Major Stew ard i The question will have to be put in this form, " That the figure Cd be retained. ' If that figure be not retained, it can be proposed that it bo od; failing that, that ir. be4d. Mr Moss urged on the Committeo the unrteen-ability o f allowing any increase on the tea duly, and moved that it remain SL 4 *™ Thu lncrease wo»W only realise £37,000 a year, and the increased burden would fall lai(,cly on those who could ill afford it.—An hon. rneml er: It can't be car. ned.-Mr Moss : I doubt whether anything could not be camtd in tho confused etute in winch tho Houee ia. As the Customs revenue ol New Zealand is immeasurably the largest/ of any country in the world, I shall vote
