They had been told in that very theatre, "Be patriotic, and think not of the capitation," but he told them, "Be patriotic, and be careful not to spend upon public companies in which you are inter ested public money." (Cheers and laughter.) New Zealand's Destiny. A great work lay before New Zealand. The broad Pacific was stretched before her, and it should be her prideand glory to civilise the Islands with which it abounded, and to disseminate amongst their people the artß of peace. That would be a blessing to the : Polynesians, but forcible seizure by a great power meant virtual slavery for them. New Zealand's destiny wonldbeindeed greatif she applied herself to the noble task of calling nto existence such an island nation. It was a work which would engage our hands for a century to come. It was a glorious destiny, and he only wished he could have youth again to"assist in it. As that could not be, he might at least firo with laudablo ambition the breasts of the young. The Russian Difficulty. Turning their glance now to Europe, and having regard to recent events, lie had to tell them that this Kussian difficulty was by no meana settled yet. They should not allow such a flattering reflection to blind their judgment. Hib own impression was that it might go on for a century. Look ing back down the vista of history, they would see that for 2,000 years past the rough hordes from the snows of the North had been making repeated incursions upon the fairer fields of the sunny South, The his tory of Europe was full of their ravages, and these Northern people had alwaye steadily advanced. Then, too, the Turks had surged in from Asia and occupied one of the most fertile countries of the world. Tho Russians could not be stemmed back. They were numerous, and theii needs and the rigours of their climate pressed them on to sunnier climes, On the oastward they were now met with Britain's command to come no fur ther, but there was always the chance that they would, for a growing population must find an outlet. On the westward they were already shut in by Austria, Germany, Italy, and France, and some opening must be found. England had had to find such ar opening for her own surplus population, and the exodus to America, Australia, and Now Zealand had been the result. Russians, too, were ripe for ah exodus, and if thej wore closed in, internal discontent and turmoil would ensue. Great Britaii should be therefore ready for any emor gency, for though long deferred, it would BuwJy arrive, sooner or later. What was called the Eastern Question was by nc means a modern thing, as many people imagined. In the days of Imperial Rome it existed, and Marcus Aurelius, one of th< greatest of the ancients and a Romar emperor as well, after spending many yean upon the Danube waging war upon the in flowing savage hordes of the North, died there broken-hearted. Our Own Affalra. Whilegiving attention to thene momentoui events in distant countries, we should not however, bo oblivious to our own concerns, A truly great nation devoted herself ener getically to the care and good government of her people and the redress of thoii grievances as'well as'the bettering of theii position. He would ask them, therefore, t< look for a few moments at their own offairi and see what had been done here. The} bad heard that they were all free men, anc they were continually informed that Sii George Grey told them they were serfs. (A voice: "No fear.") In ridicule of this it was said, " Can you not eat and drink whai you like, nod have you not got gooc wages?" Lot them look closer at th( question, bowevor, and boo if thoy wen froe. Firstly, his idea of freedom win this: That ouch man within the limits of thi law could do what ho liked, and the peopli of Buch a free nation made its laws. H< called a nation whose people made its lawi free, but a nation whose laws were mode bj a fow people was a nation of slaves. (Ap plause.) One of the characteristics o slavery was this : That tho master main tamed his slavoe, and if ho was kind to then bo gavo thorn a piece of provision grounc whore thoy might grow food for thomsolvoi in the ovoniug after work (laughter), anc tho produco they might soil to buy thorn selvos a low luxnrios with. Then thi slaves said, " Massa is Bi> good to us." Bui thoy did not sco that tho greatest slave owner might in this way claim credit fo: the utmost benevolenco, and that it wai but a mistaken kindness—a poor exchangi for absolute freedom. Ho had heard i groat deal of similar talk lately He had soon an advertisement setting out in big letters, "So and so, thi friond of tho working man" (a voic< "Garrard," and langhter). The friend o: tho working man said—" Let us give hin another half-holiday in the year," and thi working man immediately replied, "God bless massa, how good he is." They really did not seam to know whether they had th« powerof taking care of themselves or not, and yet they might have published a book and asked, " Did he get > any more wage* for yon?" or "Did he get your trauu made any cheaper." . Every effort had been made to stint the power which the people should possess. They had had a great locturo on politics here, and he confessod it confounded him. They wore told that it was their duty to bamboozle their follow men in tho Assembly, and play upon their selfish cupidity in order to get those people to help them. Now, if they woro to take such a measure and study it, they would see that it-would have produced olther a dopreesing or elevating effect upon the entire population. He aßkedf them to fol low him upon what he might call an excursion into the past history of the colony. He would point out to them what might have happened, and ask them if it had happened would it not have ended in reducing two-thirda of the people to absolute slavery. He wished them to follow him from scene to scene, where several people were talking together. The first scene he wished to take them to was this. Land Hypothoootton. There was a Lord Lyttelton, the father of the present Lord Lyttelton. He was an excellent man, although he persecuted him (the speaker). Bat they became great friends in the end, because Lord Lyttelton recognised at last that ho (Sir George) was right. Lord Lyttelton was Chairman of the Canterbury Association, and in that capacity he came to this colony for the purpose of securing two-thirds of the land for the founding of bishoprics. Upon his return to the old country. Lord Lyttelton delivered a lecture upon his experiences in the colony. [Sir George then proceeded to quote from a report cf Lord Lyttelton's lecture, in which that gentleman spoke of a vast estate of 60,000 acres, held by a Mr Harper. The lecturer said that settlers had a nominal power to buy that land. But Sir George pointed out that was only a nominal power. Reading further from the lecture, he showed that the squatters had a pre-emptive right to bay certain portions of their runs at an upset price of £2 10s, per aore. By taking up sections in this manner thoy rendered the immediate land valueless, and then actually held vast tracts, although they could only lay claim to a small portion of it. This system, the speaker said, would have led to great poverty amongst the poor of Canterbury if followed out.] Cause of Depression In Canterbury. The second scene was this:— The Minister of Lands was in Christ church, and a reporter was with him. And he believed that the reporter had made one of the. best reports he had ever read. When ;he reporter asked Mr Ballance what was the cause of the stagnation and depression in jhnstchurch, the Minister of Lands said— "I believe the reason of it is the way that your land system has been earned out." The Minister of Lands urther said that their big men had taken up all their land in the back ground, and tho result was that it was impossible to ;et land for the poor people. - And yet Mr Ballance and his colleagues were trying to give a million of acres of land to a foreign company in order to get the West Coast railway made. They would remember hat when he (the speaker) was in otnee he made arrangements by which this railway should be constructed without an aore of land being given. He therefore contended that an unnecessary >nbe was thus sought to be given to secure the support of a section of the Canterbury members. [Sir George continued to quote rom that portion of the report wheroid Mr iJaUancoexpreßaedaurprise atmen not jump ing at work offered at 4s 6d per day, or 27s per week. Allowing that two days per week were lost, and deducting ordinary expenses, Sir George Grey asked what was left for the support of that man, his wife and family of >erhaps six.] Not more than 10s remained lor the maintenance of the whole family, or an average of twoponceper day for the sup pott of each child. Therefore, he asked.

Mr Ballance's Small Settlement Scheme.

The plan proposed by Mr Ballanee for their relief was to take small blocks as con veniently situated as might be to markets. Ho was going to let these on leases at pre sent market rate, the land to be valued every twenty-one years, and the rent raised if necessary. These people wero to bo com pelled to live there, and labour amongst the great freeholders surrounding them. The blocks were to be small, because these people were net intended to be farmers. Mr Ballanee said he did not intend that tho blocks should be large enough to enable the settlers to maintain themselves upon them. These blocks Were therefore intended to j supplement their other earnings, and stress was put upon them to make them work outside their own holdings. No man could take up two blocks, because if he did ho might earn a living off them. There fore, he asked what rights were they to have. They could not earn their own livings on their leaseholds, but must work for the big land-owners surrounding them in order to maintain themselves and their families. Lord Lyttelton said he could not get enough land in Canterbury, but in other provinces he was making provision for the luture. Their mapa wero therefore dotted all over with sections, and they were told that married men would be offered special inducements to settle upon them. In Auckland we had the power of taking up homestead freeholds, and of taking up land in many other ways as well. What right had a man in hiß will to pay that certain lands should not be sold, and tho map be thus dotted over with lines of closed-up land in consequence? Surely they would stand no such alienation and cloaing-up of the land. (Applause.) It was not fair either to move up poor people from the towns to small blocks in the country whence they could not escape. The Premier Criticised. He asked them to accompany him to a scene in that theatre—a very extra ordinary scene, and yet they had passed it over as of no account. The Premier had told them they had many mil lions of acres left, but he did not tell them whether this land was good. It might be acres of rocky mountain or snowy waste. The Premier Baid that there was no question more practical thin that as to what should be done with the land, and then he went on to say that the lands which had passed from us and had beon sold were out of the range of practical politics. He himself did not think so. The l ighest idea of politics was to get land for the settlement of the people. Mr Stout said further that no colony could enter upon a course of repudiation, as that would shake publio credit and injustice in the end never succeeded. This was fol lowed by their cheers, so that it was evident that they had been carried away by the fineness of the sentiment, although one man did try to say "No." (Laughter.! Then the Premier also remarked, and this time they had again cheered him, that no generation had a right to partition the lands of the colony, or to say to the aext generation, "We have decided for you how the earth's surface is to be occupied." He (the speaker) asked them if, when the Premier told them this, they reflected whether in the past the Government had acted upon that principle or not. Had the Government not lent itself to the work of partition? What explanation could it give to the starving children in Canterbury of the partition of the heritage of the people in that province amongst tne rich ana wealthy' (Applause.) He (Sir George) did not toll them the past was irretrievable. Ho believed in tho English law that for every wrong there was a remedy and it did not become the man who might be our noxt Chief Justice to publicly state that a wrong had been dono the people for which the law provided no remedy. (Applause.) Proponed Agrarian Legislation. Now he had a remedy to propose. He had thought it out in solitude, and he had no doubt that it would earn for him oppro bium, and beget hatred of him in certain quarters, but he cored not for that. What he had to advise the people was to provide that no man should ootain a tract of land unless he meant to live upon it like other settlers. If the people of Auckland left him in the position he was now in, he would bring in a bill to Parliament providing this: That for every thousand acres a man took up, he should support upon it one farm labourer for a wholeyear. (Cheers.) Thusan estate of 200,000 acres would support 200 families, so that all would not be left for sheep, but something for men on God's groen earth. (Cheers.) There would be some measure of juotice to tho children of thoso who hadbeon deprivedof thoirfairshare of tho land. In this way a home would be provided them, while fair wages might be earned with which to buy land for them selves, instead of boing loft to perish for want of work, whilo all tho land lay waete for the maintenance of shoep alone. That wa< where justice came in. But he had still another idea. Let the Government, instead of sending people out of the colony in this way, buy the land back from the persons who have it, at its fair value, with interest given upon the money, and so that every man earning money upon the land should see that he is safe and that his intorests would be protected. Every man who had bought land which had been Crown granted should be protected, but inquiries should be made into all property for which grants had been taken out by members of Crovincial councils, General Assembly, or y men who, while in office, made the laws whereby the people had been wronged by tricks of the Land Office; and every such man who had used his posi tion to acquire land wrongly or at an inadequate valuo should be made to pay for his ill-gotten gains. Those who had bought subsequently deserved protection, but the original wrong-doer should be sought out and made to pay for what he had wrongly taken. This would prevent him rioting ln his wrongly-aequrred wealth while those children of whom he had spoken were dragging out a precarious existence upon such a wretched pittance as twopence per day. In this way they would assist to place the colony in a far more healthy state. Alt such regulations as: Mr Ballanee had drawn up were good and just in their way, but ii land had been taken wrongly we had a right to see that the wrong-doer did not walk off with, say, a quarter of a million in his pocket. Mr Ballance's regulations showed that the poor bad been injured, and the poor could not be injured without the rich being affected too. Tho Olstrlot Railways Question. Let them consider, now, the state our Parliament was in. It had before it last session the question of the Waimea Plains railway, and the Government was prepared to purchase It, as well as all other district railways. When he went down to Wellington the Atkinson Government had prepared a bill for that purpose but .it was defeated, and had no the opportunity of introducing it His fear was that the companies were so powerful that they would gain their object, and that the country would be forced to buy the railways. He knew that the Parliament was a new one, and that the members knew very little of one another. His idea was that the Atkinson Government being in power, the House should have met, and the members should have had an opportunity of hearing the views of the various leaders, so that they might have had some idea of their calibre, and decided whom they should follow. But this was not done. Ministerial Cabinet-matting. _ On the evening after his arrival at Wel lington he went to the library of the House for the purpose of reading, and while he was thore Messrs Stout and Montgomery came and made proposals as to his support ing a Government on certain terms. He thought he saw the Waimea Plains railway under all this, and he replied: "It appears to be decided who the Government shall be." Mr Stout said: "Oh yes, 1 am to be Prime Minister, and Sir Julius Vogel Treasurer," He thought this was wrong, and saw that it was possiblo for audacious people, Oliver Cromwell liko, to seize upon tho Government ef the country. He declined to have anything to do with the scheme. Sir George briefly iotailed the events that followed, and then proceeded. The Stout-Vogel Government same into office, and six days afterwards ;hey brought down a bill to secure ;he Wa'lmea an<i other railways. So ;hat it would appear to have been ill arranged. But he should tell ;hem that the bill had been brought town by the Atkinson Government, )ut no fault was found by them. Then it vas feared that the bill was likely to be hrown out by the Legislative Council, one gentleman who took a stand against it being the Hon. Mr Olliver, formerly Minister of Public Works. He drew atten tion to the fact that hints had been thrown mt that unless the particular bill in question vero passed.other bi'ls which the Councillors lesired to see passed would be dropped. lon, Mr Millar, a Government supporter, ' Gee at this stage and said he would save he hon. gentleman who had been speaking he trouble of asking further queations by orroborating what he had said.
