TRADE AND LABOUR CONGRESS.

Protection of Icoal Industry.

(BY TliLKUlUrll— OWN CORRV:srONI)i:.ST.)

Donedin, this clay. Mv McLknahan read tho following paper in support of an 11-20 per cent, protection on all goods that are being now successfully manufactured in the colony :— " Drawing the serious attention of this Congress, and through it that of tho whole community of this our adopted country, to tho urgent necessity that exists at; this time for the immediate introduction of such a protectivo tariff as will infuse life into our various industries, many of which are at this moment almost on tho biinl; of ruin, languishing for that support to which in this young colony they are justly entitled, and which, if much longer withheld, must inevitably end in ruin and collapse. Sir, within a vory l-ocent period tho public of New Zealand have had the opportunity of hearing or reading various addresses given by prominent men bear ing on subjects of interest and importance, and giving reasons for holding their own ox pressed opinions, amongst them that of en deavouring to find a cause for the continued depression among the commercial, manufac turing and labouring classes, each being of tho opinion that tho remedy propounded by himself was the only panacea for these great evils, and that the sun of prosperity would soon rise if his own theory were only carried out. lam of the same opinion re garding my own ideas. I cannot admit that any of those who have referred to tho above unfortunate state of affairs has traced the otfect to the actual causo. Not one of them has had the boldness to state that we etill continue- to consume much more than we produce. During tho past ten years we have imported Borne £15,000,000 worth ovor and above our ex ports, and we are only yet in the condition of a half-finished building whose contractor neglects to utiliso the matorials at hand, and sends to other countries for what can bo obtained at his very door. We make grand improvements, and we appear to pro gress, but how dc we pay for it ? Why, by gradually drifting into a state of impecuni osity—that is to say, that all ojr advance ment is propped up with foreign capital, and as a consequence at pesent our estab lishment is unproductive, whereas there is not on the face of the globe a more productive country of tho same fcize, or one that pays so promptly, only endeavouring to extract a return for a relative expenditure. But no country, kingdom, or community need ex pect to prosper by allowing its expenditure to oxceod its incomo. Take Amorica previous to 18G0. Tho country was given over to reckless extravagance, quite re gardless of tho future, and of courso depression followed among every class. Subsequently, whenfree trade was abolished, and what money was required raised amongst its own population to tho exclu sion of foreign gold, reaction commenced, Buccoas crowned their policy, and no coun try under the s»n now offers such advan tagos. Her exports arenow 200,000,000d015. per annum more than her imports. She sup plies her own capital,and stimulates the employment of labour by holding out tho in ducement to invest in cheap land. Here our only apparently prosperous timo is when a loan has boon floated, and when that is spent (and it does not take long, for the gieatestpart of it is mortgaged long before) then the old complaint is made, and tho patients aro worso off than if they had never had the remedy applied. What is there (and it is a most important ques tion) that wo can do to utiliso the natural resources of this our adopted country and endeavour to increase our productions and foster them until they outbalanco our consumption? Tho Hon. Major Atkinson, when on a visit to Victoria twehc months since, had tho opportunity of observing tho affects of the policy in that colony. They lived as well, and yet at no greater, but if anything at less, cost than we in this country. It maintains over 20,000 manu factories, in which very many thousands lind remunerative employment, while by contrast wo must havo small comfort in tho knowledge that this colony does not number i'oo under our grand free trade ■lystcm. Now, sir, I hold that the remedy is in our own hands.—that is, com petition with the imported article by colonial productions, and a tariff which will protect colonial capital. It will at once provide employment for our families and immigrants. It will develop many natural resources. It will induce immigra tion without our assistance, and capital as a natural result will soon follow in its wake, anil then wo shall very soon rejoice over as substantial a progress as our cousins in Victoria. Many instances with statistics might bo given of the success of tho United States under a protective policy, and the same applies now to Canada since she has embraced tins grand protection policy, and I might here give a short extract from a speech delivered before the Royal Colonial Institute, London, in December, 1883, by ono of Canada's most successful governors, and a most shrewd observor—tho Marquis of Lorno. Refer ring to protection, ho said it was necessary to tolerate any protective tariff which tho colonists adopted, as past events had shown that was the only means of stimulating industries in colonies and promoting their progress ; and I now commend theso lew remarks to this Congress with the earnest hope that its members will on their return establish strong Protective Associations, especially in largo centres, so that by united action from ono end of the colony to tho other, and by unceasing exertion, wo shall soon become such a power in the land that at last we shall sco n protectivo tariff an established fact, and the country ngain sailing under prosperity and peace." In the discussion which followed, Mr Faknall said he was not prepared to argue that protection in a new country like this, and to a limited extent was not beneficial; but it was a mistake to suppose protection was a perfect panacea for all the evils the colony was suffering from. Tho present depression was really traceable to the land question. In a new country there was a great temptation to invost all spare money in land, and the only way to turn the investment of capital in tho direction desired by protection would be to stop all dealing in land. Mr J. Wilson said that the state of tho working man in agriculture, as regards material and mental advance, was far better than in free-trade England. He was firmly convinced that protection was the only moans for securing permanent prosperity, for the colony and full work for all its mechanics and labourers. Mr Bkli.kou.sk said that in Canada when the tariff imposed was 15 or 17*2 per cent., there were no manufacturers nor prosperity among the working classes, whereas the im position of 22i per cent, duty had established successful factories, and genorally improved (ho condition of workmon. It was vory straugo that the colony should send Homo first-class wool, an.l havo inferior goods sent back to them, llohad bjon told by the manager of frhe Kaiapoi Woollen Factory that if: a small additional duty were imposed on imported goods they could doublo the size of the mills, and double tho number of thoir workmen. Mr Rak thought protection was a scheme that would euro their present ills for a timo only, unless they took strong measures to secure tho land. Protection would put them in oxaotly tho same position as they were in at present. Mr Kimbeii held that free trade was serving tho working classes all ovor tho world and making capitalists richer. He would, like to see the duty made 40 per cent, instead of 20. Mr Rouda said that when he had to walk about tho streots last winter, only doing half work, and saw peoplo wearing boots mado in othor countries, ho could not help feelinjr.pti'nncrljj, wL.fa.vnm1 of ,a protective • : the whole spirit of English law", cam! gi be conceived. It is quite possible that i. ay) charge against the prisoner was, in all ' h ihe particulars, a false one. He may have hi, »re a thoroughly good defence, but he w. 88, given no opportunity to make 1 ed and was turned out of Court without at ler legal conviction or sentence against hie i but not the less a branded and ruined ma <a- We have no sympathy with, tha particul; §; defendant. Heprobablydeservedeverythir ts; that was said about him ; but the jury ai ta; tho Judge were entirely wrong in allowir }.i; their natural feelings of regret that the la i could not punish such offences as tl Id- evidence disclosed to lead them to assun de that the_ charges were true, simp! v&'yheavily. ~—l J—-—tf~ Mr A. C. KnniALL taid he was a : thorough free-trader, and he was glad to ' think that the proposer of this motion 1 was not a Briton. The references to America and Victoria were beside the £ question, becat-.se those countries had great ] natural advantages not possessed by New 1 Zealand. This agitation for protection was 3 not in the interest of the unfortunate far- i mers, who had to bear all the burdens of 3 the country ; it was only to benefit the £ engineer, the makers-up of colonial clothing, E a coachbuilder, and one er two other indus- 1 tries. o

After further discussion the motion was carried on the voices

Amalgamation of Associations. Mr G. KIMLEKK moved, "That in the opinien of this Congress the time has arrived when all the existing political associations should amalgamate and iorm one with a head centro in Dnnedin, ail others to bo the branches, all to unite on ono common plat form, and work together for any definite object in the interest of reform, and that this Congress take steps to carry this pro position into practical effect." The motion was rejected by a large majority. Suggestions of Auckland Liberal Asso ciation. Mr Farn-all moved that the suggestions of the Auckland Liberal Association be taken into consideration.—Carried. Seamen's Wages. Mr T. Barns moved, "That in the opinion of this Congress it is desirable that a clause be introduced into the Shipping and Seamen's Act, 1577, pro hibiting seamen from working cargo in coastal steamers exceeding 200 tons in any port savo in open roadsteads, or where no other labour is obtainable. During the discussion that ensued, Mr Dohson said he must oppose the motion, as the proposal would be disastrous to the in terests of seamen in New Zealand, and would drive owners of steamships to re gister tho vessels outside tho colony. The mattor was practically directed against tho Union S.S. Company alone, and that Company was tho most liberal and con siderate towards its servants of any firm in the whole colonies. Ultimately tho motion was carried by 12 votes to 11. Technical Education. Mr 11. Hakvey moved, "That the Congress respectfully ask the Government to take into consideration at their earliest opportunity the question of providing for the teaching of technical education in all possible and convenient places in the colony."—Carried. Vice-presidents. Mr 0.. T. Hodoe moved, "That the number of Vice Presidents be increased, allowing a Vice-President to be stationed in each centre of population represented, euch Vice- President to act as convener of the Associa tion in his district affiliated to the Congress, and generally to represent and act for the Congress."—Agreed to. Parliamentary Committee. Mr Harvey moved, "That a parlia mentary committee of five members be ap pointed by the Vice-President in Welling ton in conjunction with the Executivo Com mittee, and that their duties shall be to watch all bills affecting the interests of the working classes in any manner thoy may consider best." After several amendments had been pro posed and negatived, Mr Home (in view of tho paucity of the attendance) moved tho adjournment of tho debate on the subject, which was agreed to. Early Closing Movoment Mr Bhadlky (Wellington Early Closing Association)moved, "That this Congress give every support to the early closing move ment, and hope to see Associations started with the view of shortening the hours of labour o£ shopkeepers' assistants in all towns represented at this Congress." Carried. Constitution of the Congress. Tho following is the constitution of the Congress as fully passed, namely : —l. This Congress shall bo callod the New Zealand Trades and Labour Congress Constitution. 2.

Procession. A grand precession of trade socioties and employes was held on Saturday evening. It comprised altogether about 600 people, and was headed by three brass bands. A public meeting was then held in the Garrison Hall, and was attended at first by 600 people, but only about half that number remained till the clos". The Mayor of Dunedin, Mr Scoullar, was in the chair, and the speakers were Messrs Howland Barnes (of Christ church), Thorn and Wells (of Dunedin), Kimber and Harvey (of Timaru), Tobin and Farnall (of Auckland). The resolu tions adopted recommended the formation of a working men's association, the imposi tion of protective duties, the abolition of plural voting, the legalisation of the eight hours' system, and the imposition of a land tax.

The Hinemoa Mystery.

i (To the Editor.) | Sir,—lt appears that after all the lying humbug which has been attempted to be 1 palmed off on the public re the Hinemoa'a movements, that vessel was really about to 3 proceed on a filibustering expedition to 3 Samoa; but the little game has been put a r stop to by Lord Derby. It is a pity that ' Government officials have so poor an esti ' mate of the intelligence of the general • public as to suppose they would believe that ' the vessel would take on board extra stokers and mombers of tho A.C. force (to 1 say nothing of getting the brass gun ■ cleaned up), for tho purpose of ministering ' to the comfort of Sir Julius Vogel during j his gouty attacks. Now, in the name of common senso, I should like to know what J benefit wo shall be likely to gain by such annexation. I think that our present debt ' numbers quite as many millions as are ' desirable now; and it appears that our ! credit is not over good on tho London Stock Exchange, otherwise wo should not bo told that we must only ' borrow a certain sum. Why so if our security is sufficient ? In my opinion this annexation mania will further depress 1 our credit, as it ia almost certain to bring us into conflict with other European Powers before long, and the British bond-holders, ' of course, are aware that in the event of war New Zealand would bo sacked at once, and they would have to whistle for their interest, as sovereigns would be rather scarce here, and they would have to take in lieu thereof somo threepenny debentures such as used to be current here about forty years ago. It is a pity that Princo Bismarck did not ask England's consent before annex ing part of New Guinea, but as England did not pay him the compliment of asking his remission before she did the same, ho will ! no doubt feel quite justified in his action. "SI think we aro much indobted to you for j Your temperate article in last night's St\u 'on the New Guinea question. In all "conscience we have moro territory now than ™we know what to do with, and, as a Sydney paper said, the idea of stiengthening our "■position by increasing tho number of places -•"wo have to defend, is about as sensible as a ill? 111,"*, wanted to cross a stream, trying "£o lift himself over by catching hold of his -u.wn Pants behind.—l am, etc., Wide la th To tho Editor: Sir,—ln your issue of the mr |th inst. Mr Cope denies his concurrence to ipl«y opinions on the decreaoe of mullet, 4~ihich appeared in a letter on the subject in your paper of tho 7th inst. I must apologise for using his name, as it was done without his knowledge ; but I must add that before witnesses he wished the letter to be in serted, and agreed with my views. Some people like their opinions to appear in the pross without their signature to the same. For my part I am not afraid to sign my name to any statement I make on the sub ject, as I consider myself both a practical and experienced fisherman. I also wish to state that for the four summer months the big mullet are not fit for anybody to eat as at that time they are spawning. Any fisherman could not deny this.—Yours &c I John Loojjy. '

MEETING OF WANGANUI NATIVES.

Addross by the Native Minister Wajwaxui, Saturday. : The nativo meeting at Ranana, on tk ■ Wanganui River, is a great success n 5,000 persons being present. Eon i? Ballanco went up the river on Tqeaf^' being accompanied by Mr W. G jjjfc (Private Secretary and interpret©]) «S Mr T. W. Lewis (Under-SecretarVr" Native Affairs). The natives welcomed a*' party by firing volleys, dancing hakas k* The businessof the meetingopenedonTh day, when Major Kemp gave an introtf tory address. He said that Mr Ball. * ■■'■ was the first Minister who had accepted invitation to come amongst them ft ferring to the practices of previous Nati':i Ministers, he said they had confined ti, '<■■ attention to tho towns, and whea ft wished to see the Ministers they had t to the towns, where he was always toom *v engaged to give his attention to it Maoris. :M The business of the meeting, as statedH Poara Kurimate, the Chairman of tha nat > committeo, was:-(l) The considoratS of the exterior boundary of tho property i the Wanganui people, which required to k!\ confirmed by Parliament. (2) Tl le y the nativo committee to be confined to IV Wanganui district only. (3), They llm agreed to allow a steamer tobe put on t? if Wanganui River. (4) All surveys, feaS'B and sales of lands, and railways should h£ m dealt with by the committees. !' Hon. Mr Ballanco addressed the meeKni? "'IS at length, expressing the pleasure it'sfiS him to be present, and hoping that Imf" visits would be repeated in future. %'"' Government were anxious to establish anfv maintain good relations with tho wholeof" the native people. They felt that this cool! only be done by taking them into their corf? fidence, lor they knew that no one wajßo^ capable of understanding what was ba* for the people as were the people them selves. It was, however, necessary that in the enactment of laws for their welfare they should receive the assistance of the Govern' ment. The Government wished them to understand that when laws were made they were not made for one race, bat for tei; people as a whole. It was right that tki land should be administered and dispoeal of for tho benefit of the people andtl# owners of the land. A monopoly of th^i land, while benefitting a few, waa injurious" to the people of both races. It was true 1" that increased population meant ia. F creased prosperity, but it was essential I that lands should not be held by a few, '1 Ho asked them to settle the boundaries ok' the district amongst themselves. A'g to ' tho power given to tho native committees, that was a large question, and would haw to be carefully considered by the Govern-air! ment. He thought the committees might f do a great deal in the way of ascertainment A j of titlesto land. The Court would givg- ' legal sanction to the decisions of the eom-il' mittees. He explained the Act passed'" last session affecting lands through' which the railway waß to paw.I *' about which he wanted to remove »ll false impression abroad amongst natives, Jti<] that the Government intended to take land five miles on each side of the line, whilo^1 they had simply stopped any private in-lf dividual from touching land, and thugs! saved the land. What the Government pr». posed now was that when the title of Mf block of land had been ascertained, thwi owners of that block should have the power v of dealing with it. At present where them were only ten names on a gwnt, and if there ' wore 100 owners, these too often sold the % land, and ueed the proceeds for their otfjifl purposes. But the Government would give* the whole 100 a voice in the disposal of tha j land. The owners would meet and eleottl a committee, which would remain in fifrip istence for say two years, at the end ofS which a fresh committee was to be elected.il In order that the lands might be dieposedg of in the bost manner, boards would bei formed, each to consist of three members—.'; one to bo appointed by the Government, and! two to be elected by the natives. Money would be spent for roads and surveys on*! blocks for sale in accordance with the de/l cisions of the boards, the refund to be made^ to the Government out of the proceeds.! After explaining the advantages of leasing! the land, Mr Ballance spoke aboutl the railways, which, ho said, the nativef should be glad to welcome, as it would en-f| hance the valuo of their lands enormously,-; The Government intended affording the! natives the opportunity of taking small con^| tracts on the line when commenced"all Wanganui. .Referring to the West Coasi^ Peace Preservation Act, Mr Ballancel said it was not the intention of the Goveriifl ment to revive it, as they did not object toll the West Coast natives passing unil and down, and holding meetings, provided;! they kept within the bounds of the law. If xj they did not, the Government were power-1 ful enough to maintain law and order. In | concluding his speech, he said that the I Government intended to legislate for the '% benefit of both races, and not be influenced i by the land-sharks. He resumed his seatiil amidst loud applause. '

Some of the chiefs,then spoke, all ex-t piessing satisfaction with the remarks of ' the Native Minister; and Kemp, in addi-:; tion to this, requested that a road should be made from Ranana to Murimotu, so that '"= produce, instead of going to Napier, would go to Ranana, and thence by Bteamer to i VVanganui. Mr Ballance promised to lay the matter ' before his colleague, the Minister of Public I Work 8. I
