TRADES AND LABOUR COUNCIL.

The following correspondence relative to the proposed Board of Appeal for railway employees was read at a meeting of the Trades and Labour Council last night :—

" Trades and Labour Council, 27th Au gust, 1887.—The Hou. J. A. ToZe,—Dear Sir : Your letter of the 26th inst., in reply to the deputation from tie Council which recently waited upon you, was laid before the meeting last night, and I have been requested to convey to you the cordial and hearty thanks of the Coancil for your prompt and courteous consideration or the matter brought before you. A dis cussion took place re the personnel of the Board of Appeal to be ap pointed for the district, as ib appears its composition in Otago and Canterbury does nob meet with universal approval. 1 am requested to respectfully suggest to you, for the consideration of the Govern ment, that a Board composed of three members, one nominated by the Govern ment, one by the Trades and Labour Council, and one by th&«ifcrchants of Auck land, would be one thSfclfrould meet with general acceptance.—l have the honour to be, sir, yours very obediently, Harry v\ . Farnall, Secretary." ;< Auckland, 30th August, 1887.-IT. W. Farnall, Esq., Secretary Trades and Labour Council. Dear Sir, —I am in receipt of your letter of the 27th inst., conveying to me the thanks (which I gratefully acknow ledge) of your Council in relation to the matters recently brought before me, and also making certain suggestions as to the constitution of the Board of Appeal. I shall be glad to act accordingly, and if your Council will please furnish me with the name of some suitable gentleman as one of the members, I shall forward it with others which I shall send to my colleague for approval and appointment. —Yours faithfully, Jos. A. Tole." The meeting decided to postpone the nomination of a member of the Board un til the Council next meet. It was stated that the final meeting of the delegates ap pointed by the Industrial Association, the Trades and Labour Council, and the Radical Reform League, for the selection of candi dates for support at the approaching elections, would be held on Tuesday even ing next. ___

FREE TRADE AND PROTEC TION.

The debate upon this much-discussed ques tion was well attended last night in the lecture-room of the Young Men's Christian Association Buildings, a large proportion of the audience being ladies. Mr J. H. Upton occupied the chair. Mr E. Bell championed the cause of free trade, while Mr J. Lamb spoke in favour of protection. Mr Bell summarised the benefits accruing to a country in which a free trade policy was adopted, and quoted numbers of cases to prove the truth of his contention. He contrasted Britain and America as the two countries which were the exponents of the rival principles of free trade and protec tion. He cited figures to show that on the railways in the United States the workmen were engaged longer hours for less money than they were in Great Britain. He also stated that the cost of living was greater in United States than in Great Britain, notwithstanding the great natural resources of the former. He warned working men against pursu ing a policy which might bring about similar results. He thought that it was time that working men were disillujfion ised regarding the so-called benefits of pro tection. He considered that it was impos sible to protect farmers and miners-rtwo Sarge andimportant sections of New Zealand colonists, as "their success depended to a great, extent upon the cheapness of machin ery, whiclV^ttCtnJd. .not' be produced within the colony. He also contended that the growth of large manufacturing tcvns tended to degenerate a nation physically, yet the formation of such towns was the aim of the protectionist. In New Zealand, he thought it would bo better to turn their attention to the industries which were suited to the climate and resources of the country, rather than foster unsuitable and artificial manufactures. Mr Lamb next spoke in favour of the protectionist theory. He admitted that' Great Britain had set an example to the world in the matter of free trade, and that her commerce and manu factures had wonderfully increased for some years. But he contended that tho founda tion of that success had been laid in her previous protective policy. Other coun tries had not followed her example, and he believed 'that Great Britain was now on the eve of a great protectionist reaction. Under the free trade regime her rural popu lation had diminished, and that was for the most part the direct good-producing portion of the community. He cited Canada, acountry which had benefited under protective duties. He held that CronnveH's protec tive navigation laws had made England mistress of the seas. He thought that in New Zealand they required to keep the circulation of her artisans' ivages within her shores. If they pursued, the policy of purchasing in the cheapest market it would eventually cause the rising generation to emigrate by sending the gold and silver out of the country as payment to foreign manu facturers.

Messrs McLachlan, White, Dr. Purchas, and the Chairman spoke upon the question. Mr McLachlan favoured protection, while Mr White and Dr. Purchas advocated free trade. Mr Upton spoke in favour of adopt ing what was most suitable in both policies for the welfare of New Zealand.

Upon the question being put to the meet ing, 34 voted for free trade and 8 for pro tection, l .

DOMESTIC COMPLICATIONS.

What May Happen to a Gold digger's Wife.

(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Invercaboilli, Thursday. A EKCUMAR case was decided in theR.M. Court to-day. An old miner named Roffe sued a mate named Girdler for £27 10s> money expended on his behalf. Roffe's story waa that he was living with Girdler, who wanted to go to the Teetulpa diggings, and he lent either him or his wife money to pay his passage. Mrs Girdler asked what she was to do for food. Her husband said: "Oh, Tom will not see you want." He ad vanced the money to keep the house, and a further sum to bring Girdler back, he having got stranded in Melbourne. Girdler did not return in time, and the wife became insane, and was removed to the Seacliffe Asylum. Old Koffe was thus left with Girdler's young family on his hands—the younger child being seven months old. He faced the difficulty, put the baby on the bottle, and grenei ally acted in loco parentis for seven weeks, during which hisoutlay was thirty shillings. Girdler then returned, got his wife out of the Asylum, and now denied all liability, pleading that the money which he got from his wife to go to Adelaide was his own earnings; that he left her in credit with the storekeeper, and did not authorise her to borrow from Roffe. The plaintiff wished to call Mrs Girdler, btit defendant consented to judgment for £10, which the magistrate said the plaintiff had proved he had paid.

ANOTHER BOGUS BURGLARY

Wellington Servant Girls'

Craze.

(by telegraph—prkss association.)

Wellington, Friday. A domestic servant named Minnie Searle, 18 years of age, was arrested this afternoon, charged with stealing a ladies' silver watch and hair guard, the property of her em ployer, F. W. Springthorpe. This morn, ing the accused reported that the catch of a window had been knocked back and the bottom sash raised. There were also spots of candle-grease on one window-sill. Search being made it was discovered that the watch and guard were missing. The police were communiccted Math, and De tective Chrystal on arrival accused the girl of being tho thief, after making a search of her room, where the guard was found under her pillow. She admitted the offence.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.

A Candidate Mobbed.

(by telegraph.—press association.)

Ashbueton, Friday. Mr Palmer, candidate for Rangitata, was half-killed by roughs at Hinds last night. He had arranged to address a meeting there, but a letter applying for the use of the school-room miscarried. As he could nob get the use of the schoolroom, he stated from the doorstep that the meet ing would be postponed; thereupon a number of men pelted him with eggs, mud, and tussocks dipped in water, chased him along the road, keeping up a continuous fusillade of missiles, till Mr Palmer gob so utterly exhausted that he was compelled to sit down, and beseech the crowd, "if they wanted to kill him, to do so outright." Among the crowd were about a dozen horsemen, who pelted Mr Palmer so unmercifully that h^s was compelled to use stones in self-defence. A correspondent of the " Mail" says that the ringleaders are lrtiown, and they possibly may hear more about the matter.

THE NEW GOLDFIELD AT HIKUTAIA.

Prospectors' Application Before

the Warden

(BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.

Thames, this clay. At the Warden's Court on Thurs day, before Mr Stratford, Warden, an ap plication was made by R. Mcßrinn for a licensed holding consisting of 30 acres at the new " find" at Hikutaia.

The applicant stated that he was not aware of the existence of a gold-bearing quartz reef within a mile of tho " find." It was his intention to expend £300 in work ing the holding. Several assays had been made by private persons of stone from the reef which he had discovered, but none had been made for himself. He desired a claim of 30 acres because this was the maximum allowed by the Act. The Warden said this was no reason why it should be granted, any more than he (the Warden) should impose the maximum punishment on any person convicted of an offence. Before putting Mcßrinn to the cost of surveying the 30 acres it would perhaps be as well for the applicant to get some stuff assayed by Mr Montgomery or someone else, and let him (the Warden) know the result.

Mr Mcßrinn then applied for protection. The Warden replied that by the Act the land applied for became on his application protected by the Crown, aud exempt from occupation until the license was either granted or refused. He had the power to prosecute anyone for trespass who entered on the ground in the meantime. Mr Humphreys, solicitor, put in an ob jection on his own behalf against Mcßrinn's application being granted, as the latter had refused to show him the pegs defining the claim, which was in direct contravention to section 103 of the Money Act, 1886.

The Warden held that this section could apply only to claims, and the ground de sired by Mcßrinn had been marked out as a licensed holding—not as a claim. He would adjourn the application until the Bth inst., and in the meantime Mr Humphreys could read up the regulations on this point. Addressing Mcßrinn, he said he desired an assay to be made for him, in order to afiord some knowledge of tho value of the reef. If it resulted satisfactorily, he would grant him as large an area as he could, as he had made the "find." For the benefit of those who had pegged out other large areas, however, he might say that he would not be favourable to granting large holdings to any other applicants, as were he to do so it would decidedly injure the prospects of the field. In addi tion to this it would be an injustice to Mcßrinn, as it might stop him getting the reward offered by Government for the dis covery of a new goldfield. The case would be adjourned until Thursday next. The action of the Warden has given general satisfaction to the miners.

BAND OF HOPE ENTERTAIN MENT.

Very faithfully yours. SAMUEL VAILE. mO THE ELECTORS OP AUCKLAND NORTH. Gentlemen, I respectfully beg to offer myself for Re election to Represent your District in the House of Representatives. Yours faithfully, T. THOMPSON. June 19.1887. TO THE ELECTORS OF EAST WARD. Ladies and Gentlemen— J am again a Candidate to represent our Ward at the City Council. If you again elect me I will do in the future as I have done in the past, that is, try very hard to secure a fair share of current expenditure within our Ward; and I assure yon it is not always easily done. While doing ray duty to my Ward I am particularly desirous to secure a more reliable supply of water by increased storage at the Western Springs, and every other means that may hereafter become available. I shall be always willing at any time to do whatever I can to get the vexed questions of Emily Place and Sbortland-strect settled; also, the works in Queen-street, above Alexandra street, amicably settled, and I believe from the efforts I have already niade, that if the depres sion had not come on quite so soon, that before this summer had passed over, we should have bad these works in hand. If my action and votes in the Council during the number of years I have been there, have not pleased everyone, it is simply because it is impossible. The differences that of necessity must arise through altering levels, buildingretaining walls, etc., cannot be fairly settled without expense to the individual. It is* very much more agreeable to vote for the individual; but if we all did that then our city would unduly suffer through our having shirked the responsibility ot voting fair and protecting the ratepayer as against the in dividual. Again, no matter how much a Councillor does for the whole of the ratepayers, no ono thanks him. Whereas a voi c for the property owner ensures at once a heurty recognition followed by a friendly shake of the hand. Financially the Coxincil will probably make a few thousands over expenditure this year, but the continued falling otf in rental value doe 3 not point to any very promising results in the future. In fact, I believe the noxt valuations will considerably reduce the Council s income, thereby necessitating very careful supervision over the expenditure, and doing without what is perhaps now considered indiapens-ible. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the kind of work that is so disagreeable; in short, it needs a firm man to face it and successfully pull it through. As you know me so well I need not say any more at present. I am, faithfully yours, W. CROWTHER. VOTS FOB OROWIHER.

Kindly asking your votes and influence, I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours obediently, JOHN NEARING. mO THE EDEN ELECTORS. Gentlemen, In reply to false reports and statements which I find are being industriously circulated amongst the Eden Electors, I beg most dis tinctly to say :— 1. That I have no connection whatever with any land rings in Otago, and that my interest in land in that provincial district consists merely of some ten acres of highly improved suburban land upon which my late residence was built, and which I have been and am desirous to quit and dispose of. 2. That in coming to Auckland it was and is tny full intention to remain here with my family for the rest of my life. 3. That no politicians, land owners, capitalists, or other person, or persons whatsoever in Otago, have agreed to contribute, or been asked to con tribute, a single farthing to the expenses of my election, these expenses being borne by myself alone. 4. That no person whatever in Otago was even aware of my intention to contest a seat in Parlia ment, until I issued ray address to the Eden electors, previous to which no person in the Colony, excepting the Eden doctors, asked, or suggested that I should stand for Parliament 5. That the motive which alone induoed me to seek election, was my personal desire to take part in the public affttira of the Colony, with the intention of faithfully and efficiently serving the Colony and the constituency for which I stand and in which I have resided for two years # 6. That if elected I go to Wellington as a North Island representative, and should the in terests of Otago or the South Island be at any time in question as against those of the North Island, I shall esteem it my duty to contend to the utmost of my ability for tbe interests of that part of the colony of which I should in such a case consider myself the special representative, viz., the North Island. Permj t me, gentlemen, in conclusion, to say that I rely confidently upon your intelligence to judge me fairly, and that as a result you will place me at the head of the poll by an over whelming majority.
