(Gri^ Z ■■•Waf-No.") WelUfit.vSjjg Swished they would allow him to brin* in -ft bill, and force those great Stoek-iob'Bers '■to come out to the colony and live upon their properties. (Loud laughter and ap plause^ If they would -not do so, that , W 8 his resource. Why should some ■citizens who had gone upon land and jn , their age required perhaps m'edieal -aid, religious solace, or the care of their children in their old age, why should Hhey be compelled to stay upon their land ? Was that light? (Applause.) Were they to raise children to work merely for these ab sentee landlords? Would they, as men" submit to that? (No.) Well, he would not. '•'-■■• Settlers for Life. •■-The next object was that the settlers could not sub-let their land, which meant '-that they were never to get away unless they could sub-let their sections* to some • person who was prepared to fulfil the con ditions. In the paper only that evening 'he had read a note asking why should fault be found with this system, because Jb forced settlers to remain upon the Hand, and their children after them. ; But it said no such thing, for a man could 'sub-divide his section so that all the other children must be turned out beggars. That was a most monstrous system. Poor ■wretches, they did not themselves under stand the conditions. He did not wonder • at that, for the conditions were all subject "to some other Act which the settlers did not gee, and if they did, would not understand, r in fact he could not understand it himself, (laughter.) The Land Act. -He must now refer to the Land Act which ..•was passed in ISSS. Other members and himself had done their best to get altera .■ tions made, and succeeded to some ex tent. This Act stated that it should .be- lawful to allow Special-Settlements ;'.to,be. established in New Zealand. That was the beginning. Then were laid r-down certain regulations and power was given to the Government to form settlements in conformity with the terms of that Act, jbut let them mind that there was no provi «ionallbwing anything to be done that was . against the provisions of that Act. The ■ Act then went on to say that Village Settlements might be formed. Then ; followecT certain regulations for the Village Settlements. It also i stated that the Government might make regula . ifcions for village settlements in accordance with this Act. Then Parliament said in its that 5 per cent, should be paid /trpon the value of the land so settled. '^That was "a' fair thing. It was as ■ goocl as .freehold. in . that respect, for the reni* ' could never be raised.' They then made1 certain regulations ior special settlements and then made re gulations for special village settlements putting the word "special " oxitside *' village,".in brackets, a tiling which they had no power to do. .And they failed themselves to see thab necessitated the rent being the same for ever. What the Government wanted was that the rent should be raised at the end of .thir'ty ibhree years, and after thab every twenty-one years. That he considered •was most unjust and tyrannical, for , Parliament . had made arrangements for protecting settlers, tinder the Land Acfc from having their rents raised. It was simply to be five per cent, upon the value. He ,liad consulted some of the highest legal authorities upon that matter, and they all agreed \with him that-- in accordance with the provision of the Act the increase of rent should not ]be demanded. (Applause.) He had also consulted with the . Premier, who said lie thought they could demand the in crease.. He asked the"Premier if lie would allow a case to be tried as*a test. The Premier consented.- He then- asked if the Government would defray the cost. But the Premier Baid that he would: >re ,. quire to:defray the cost of such case him .' ; Eelf. (Laughter.) , He had spoken with' hi^h legal, authorities upon that matter . .also, and they had considered thab the matter being a public one; the. Government should have consented :to have defrayed the cost ot the.proceedings. ■ '.til' A, --< Unauthorised Expenditure. There was also another very strange point connected with this thing. They Wild see that at the present moment the people would have" to pay between L 70,000 andLßo,ooo for the Tillage Settlement Scheme. (A voice: t( Money lent.) Money lent? Yes ! How mucii of it will be refunded? (Laughter). What business had any man to lend his or their money ■without, permission? (Applause). ,j. Let them further consider it. , Supposing" a Cffisar reigned in England, and wanted to gain absolute power in the country for electioneering or other purposes. Accord ing to the population, he would have at the same rate L 2,500,000 at his disposal to appoint his own-officers to select persons ' to put upon • 50 acres of land,, ■ Supposing that he did that and increased the expends ture to L 10.000.000 or Ll2 000,000, "in, that, • way would not he be able •to convulse and subvert the whole, nation ? It vrac the most monstrous thing. Yet look at the position in which they were pjacedin the matter. What must be the "feeling of those village sebblers when.they heard that he and others were trying to put a stop to their money. Would they not feel thab they must support the Government that promised the money? Another question was, why shouldon y un employed get the, land ? Were there not ™ artisans in that town that could 'scarcely provide food ,for themselves and tTieir P families? Why not throw open the. land to ..all? ,( APP£ u?g Why should absolute destitution be the ionl/xneans to get that land Why sWd men, either have or pretend to beunem ■Dlovdto enjoy these favours?

many, civil Servants.' (Applause.) "!feut they were only public servants in the satne sense as' the servants of banks and institutions. They were all employed for: Mie public convenience;!and it was through - the public that they were paid. But i in our -Government Civil Service there were .too many servants for the w.ork to ,-be _ done.; ..(Applause.) Under the provincial system we had a Civil Service under our own eyes and in sympathy with our wants: and requirements, courteous in, speech andresponsive.to public uvf Bub ' the Prov»ncial.: system jwafe abolished.our Civil Service,wasdispersed,and now we liad strangers at W.ellino'ton to serve us. What did a Civil.servant in Welling ton know or care.about us? Sir George went on to relate a grievance endured for many years by a Dr. Pine, of Invercargill, and which he himself had to get redressed. !ln England the Civil Service Avas con structed :on far , .different lines. It was kept in touch with , .public feeling, through each department being controlled by an Under Secretary of State, duly elected to_ the House. It was a popular in stitution, and was careful not to excite public indignation by the manner in which its duties were carried out. If he were in office again what would our Civil Service care whether he were knocked out or not next day. They said, "What matters^ it to us who is in power ; we are responsible to nobody, and as for Ministers we have no concern in connection with them." He believed that there should be an Under Secretary of. State taken from the House of_ Representatives, next the number of ministers was too large (applause) and he had positive proof of thab. Here they hadtaken an Attorney-General to be Premier—upon whom the whole burden of administration fell. If he (Sir George Grey) was Premier there was nothing to' prevent him, when •standing there, marking out somebody who had red hair in the audience, and putting him into office. (Laughter.) And yet they left it to the Attorney - General to plead in : every ■ Court in «the colony, and a great part of his timje was employed in private business. He (Sir George Grey) brought in a bill to pre-, vent, such practices as these in the future, and,he expected that it would be carried. If the Premier could spend so : much time in his- private practice, it was evident ..that , the services of at least one Minister could be dispensed with. Four Ministers were all that were required, and he would split the Civil Service into four branches. The cost would be, less, and the- work would be'better performed. (Applause.) Why, he could create a Civil Service at Kawau if he chose. There ware twenty people, and he could find employment for all of them in managing the affairs of the island. He divided it into departinents'ih this way. The gardener wants a spade, and he t signs an order for the spade and sends' the gardener to the" public works department. , They say that' they have not a spade, and report to another department, to know whether they will order a spade, (laughter), and that Department, unfortu nately, can only get to Auckland by steamer, and must Write to the Minister of Marine to know whether he will give authority. .(Laughter,) It would there- Tore' be seen that he could easily establish ten or eleven departments, as in Wellington, (some ' said fourteen or fifteen) that would all have to correspond ■; with one another, something after the fashion described. Now, this was what he meant, that by reducing the number of these heads of departments, and consolidat ing the public service into four branches, a great saving could be. effected. They should have a good gliief clerk, anian of busi ness who would be iivtouoh with the people, and thus avoid vexatious delays of office. The country would go on infinitely more happily, TOugh less injustice would be done, and a large expenditure would be saved. (Applause.); Now, without going into all the questions, of every kind of expenditure he should tell them then that he had heard from persons who had. .examined carefully the system of education in tliis country thab it had been proved to be thebest in existence, but he was certain that a very considerable reduction could be made in its cost without injury to its efficiency. He could assure them that he had paid a large amount of attention to this subject; i and had good authority for this conclusion,, and he wa3 perfectly satisfied, that this was one point to which their attention should be directed. In the opinion of ah eminent judges we had the best system of education in the world, He was struck by one , thing. .' In com paring the colonies and. the cli country respecting orphan and destitute children he found tbafc'■ here '■■' they were largely boarded out, and that $he system had proved eminently siTCGessful, He said another very curious, thing, namely, the. successful management was mainly due to the attention paid V the la4ieS who visifc these chadwn, They were more success ful than in Great gritain,and this arose from the manner in .whiah the.ladies dis ; charffpd their, duties. Then he was ijaMi nozzled to account for the different ...results obtained by fcheJadies working, m this cause in Great Brfeiß, for they, hkethe ladies here, : gave up < fm _tnmds and hearts to the subject, full consideration he found «ut -that the case was thls./^ln England, th| different between rank and .manner and habit of addressing one anothei-is not near to the familiaTity/Gom^aratively speaking, that exists between ;differfenfc pjonehere, amonpsb whom n6' respect or affection was absent' Whab that gentleman said was this, that, in -hi» Ppinion^ our system was the best that he had' m», Now he would b- sorry to see its usefulness jntgtof} with T3ut he believed th^oQnsidmWm ductions might be made wibhoubimpairing' ifcseffictoy. ecti&tt 6f Ittftß6trlfes .

And now he would refer to a thing in, which they alltook agre^at interest, and thab was the question of protection. (Cheers.), He wanted to tell MM that; this question had been quite suddenly^ m3gd If this was to have been the, platform oi the^ Qg vernment why was it not put forward at the beginning of the sessidn ?•: Why was ib nob prSy discussed, and why was ib used only as y an election cry? gyj^^jg used as chessmen, and played aboub ji&fl Sed hither and thitfier as politicians chose " He wished his' hearers to understand the kind of protection that was proposed by the Government arid the- results that would accrue from it. It had been said that ex treme protection was necessary. Bow, he waSnWour of all fair and properencour aiment of local.industries, ; .In the past, hfhad known people, in the colony Avho i Li omnlnved a large number of men, for yefrs aPnd whenSy closed, on Saturday it wS with difficulty they found the wages for their workmen.

rwould? find ' that the: -suffering was, ---if r( possible, greater. In Germany, quite recently, such was the poverty thab a return made a few months ago shdwedthat from 36,000 bo 37,000 destibube :German labourers had arrived in London, and had.pulled down the wages. Then a meeting was /held in Westminster HalL and was presided over by 'Lord Brabazoh', who favoured State aid to emigration. He told them he was working.- ; so that many of them might go to countries where they would make a better living, but thab would be difficult if people, for instance, were poured in here. Then thosS people were itoldithat the exodus would create a vacuum and that the result, would be that those who were left would receive higher wages. Then a working man rose and told the speaker that he believed he meant' to do what was gopd for them, bxit he either did not know what he was talking about or, if he •did, he was deceiving them, because the place 3of those who left would be filled up by a rush of labourers from the Continent, and more would come in than go out, and their position would be worse than before. And that was really the case. Now, he had told them some things that required courage to speak out, and at the same time things that he had made a.rule to follow through life. As long as they pracbicaljy had unfettered trade—by that 'he meant trade unfettered •by the law, for they did not appeal to the Government to give absolute protection, bub asked them to put certain duties upon certain 'manufactures, in order thab trade might be encouraged—then, he thought, all would be well. He con sidered that it would be perfectly justi fiable to impose duties with a view to pro tecting the local industries. John Stuart Mill stated thab the only time that protec tion was justifiable, was in new countries where^young industries required fostering. (Applause). Professor Fawcett, whose death they had lately lamented (ap plause), had laid down the same principle, | bub Professor Fawcett had also given his opinion .that he did not think it desirable to do so, because when once established it could never be abolished. Well, he con sidered that the first statement was true, but .not so the second, because England had abolished protection as soon as they wanted to do so. (Applause.) Therefore it was quite safe to foster their industries. Distribution of Wealth. Bub if by so doing gigantic fortunes were to be made, by the manufacturers, where would be the gain to the community at large f. Who created these fortunes ? Was it simply by starvation wages being paid to those who worked to make these fortunes ?, Were the artisans not to receive any of-the residue? "Was he clear upon that point?. (Applause.) - Look at their greab cities. They must necessarily work upon bhe co .operative $ystem. Ib i was the people who congregated in the cities that increased the value of the property. If they wanted him to make protective laws, he would do so upon the. condition that the workmen also came in for a fair share of the profits. It required capital, intellect and labour to build up successful industries, and from all these causes, did there not resulb an un earned increment just the same as in the .case of the land near the cities? Then he said let them pass laws which would secure for all a fair share of the gain, and let the labourers and their families, ■ who had toiled to build up these industries, oomo in an,d get, the residue that would other wise go to make up these gigantic fortunes. He would .only' agree to protec tive laws upon! these terms—that the labouring poor should also get their fair share of the gain from protection. It ; was all well fpr these matters to come up at election times as a catch to the people. ' Don't let them be used as counter, or \ ■.chessmen for -the poli tical gamblers to use as best suited their purposes, Let them see that a fair revenue was raised, 'that a just tariff was laid on, so that industries should be fostered, but let other wider matters be put aside for three years or more, so that they could be carefully considered, and at that time they could come for ward with a definite course of acbion laid . downj and make beneficent laws that would do good to all, He had now been balking for nearly two hours, bad kept "them a long time (ones' of '* Go on "), but he would like to say a few words more. He had kept them a long bime, bub he had asked them bo do nothing bub whab would redound bo bheir own honour and the;r own good. It was with joy that hehad read of the great Jubilee proceedings in London. Much of what had been done might be ascribed toi&v wish to do honour to the Queen, but there was also a still greater evidence of pritfe pf the British nation in these grand proceedings; When they thought of four European ■ Kings ■" in attendance upon Her; Majesty, when they thought of numbers of future king's around her person, then it was that they .should re moirfbgr thfd; it was such a scene as had nevfer before" been witnessed \n bhe world." They heard of briumphs in Rome, but nothing even then or in the times of Charles y, had equalled this ; for never before had all "Sur.qpe CQmb,ines tp dp JiQnQur to. a jnonaVch.

■Upon Sir George Grey resuming his seat, tj]§ audienqe , heartily and _ spontaneously gave thrpe lusty cheers for him. The Chairman ' invited questions, but none were forthcomihgi ">•' Mr Thomas Gee then proposed "That Auckland East elecbors beg to thank .Sir George Gi'eyfor his able address just'de livered, that they desire also to record their unabated confidence in him as their member j and sincerely trust that he may long continue to represent them in .theijongg of Representatives." (Loud cheers.) He felt sure that the Confidence of the electors in Sir George Grey was firm and unshaken. He was ever true to his principles—always Sir George Grey, and never twisted into some other mani (Laughter and applause;) That, was' more than°could be said of some other of our city members, who had acted very incon sistently. For instance, one member had, as Chairman of: the Local Industries Committeei. gent up forms to . the, local manufacburers for them to fill', up. He wished Mr Dargaviile was present. (Laughter, and groans for Mr Dargaviile). 0»e manufacturer told him he did not like to send the forms to Mr Dargaville, as he might keep some of them back just to suit his own purposes. | That incident 'merely illiistrated the popular distrust of Mr Dargaville. (Applause); Mr Hehry Refesing, in seconding the reso lubion, said he remembered Sir George Grey's first arrival in: New Zealand.. The colony then was in great distress,1 and Sir George Grey landed like an angel from heaven. (A voice : " Draw it mild, old man.") The metaphor might seem far fetchfidj ;bub the, people ab the time were ■in daily and nightly ; terror' pf q, native raid and knew, , nob J where to,. look for aid. Sir , George ■ reanimated , their courage, restored confidence; -.and won peace. From the date of Sir. George, Grey's landing till, the present, every, act of his public life had been a blessing, to the community, lie trusted Sir George would live for many years, arid long have sufficient good health (spirit he always had) to serve them as he had inthejrast. ' v The Chairman concurred in these senti ments^ and asked far a hearty' respdnse 'to the resolution.

- Tliescene that followed Was one of wild, enthusiasm, the audience' rising to their

feet, cheering and waving hats and hand kerchiefs.

Mr J. KB Sherp, then moved, "That this meeting desires to express its confidence in Sir George Grey as the real Liberal leader of this people." He believed they .would join with him in wishing Sir George many years of good health to continue the trusted leader of the people. MrR. J. Duncan seconded the resolution, and, trusted that Auckland would send forth to other parts of New Zealand no uncertain sound on ; this subject. He hoped Sir Robert Stout would never be Premier again (cheers), and he believed that both he and Mr Ballance were illiberal Ministers. The resolution was put, and the voices were unanimous in its favour. Sir George Grey, whose reappearance was again the signal for enthusiastic cheer ing, said the remainder of his life would be devoted to their interests. The meeting broke up with cheers for Sir George and the Chairman.
