THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mr Vaile in the Temperance Hall.

Mr Samuel Vaile addressed a large meet ing of. the electors of City North at the Temperance Hall last evening. Mr A. Bell was voted to the chair.

Mr Vaile was well received. He had always felt that it was impossible to say all that he wished to say about the railway problem in a couple of hours, but he would go on as far as he could, and then'stop- The present depression a. as the first subject touched upon. He regretted that Sir William Fox had not been allowed to proceed with his speech on this question the other evening, because he had devoted a great deal of time to the consideration of this question. Sir Wm. Fox touched upon two causes to which he attributed the depression, this being the large standing armies of Europe and the consumption of liquor amongst the people. The-0 were not the only causes, and lie (Mr Vaile) would add to them as a greater cause the loss of purchasing power amongst the poorer classes. The reason of this poverty was idleness, but not voluntary idleness. These people would work if they could get employment, and the best remedy he saw was to get the people back on the _ land. The railways of the world were built in the interests of capital, and they had the effect of massing the people in the towns. Set tlers had to pay an increased price for the conveyance of their produce for every mile which they lived out of the city or terminus, and the result was that the man who lived one hundred miles from the city had to pay one hundred times as much for the carriage of his produce as the settler who lived one ■mile from the city. Consequently, the up country settler could not compete with the farmer living much nearer to the city. Mr Vaile then entered into a description of the details of his scheme, which have already been published. He complained that his scheme had been per sistently misrepresented by the Depart ment, and quoted extracts from corres pondence on the subject to prove his accusation. He held that the railways, like the roads, had been constructed for the benefit of the people, and should be utilised accordingly, independent of the question of payment of interest. He charged the Minister of Public Works with representing to the House on three -lif erent occasions that he .had made frequent changes in his system, while, as a matter of fact, ne had only made one change, and that in the March following his first lettor to the Department. Mr Vaile proceeded to explain to his audience, with the aid of diagrams, the unfair expenditure of public money in the construction of railway lines for the benefitof Wellingtonas against Auck land. Already Taranaki, Wanganui, and Hawke's Bay were drained into Wellington, and the latest proposal was to run the line from Opotiki and Hick's Bay and Gisborne down to Napier. Then this line to Wel lington would tap the whole of the North Island south of Auckland, and would take out the vitals of our own country. If he went into the House he would insist on the stoppage of the North Island trunk line till Auckland was connected with Taranaki. Referring to Sir Robert Stout's statements respecting the railways in the South, he described the East and West Coast Railway as an iniquitous affair, and as money thrown away. The Government would have to buy that line yet—and yet Sir Robert Stout told them that the South Island had her railways constructed. He denied that the present Minister of Works had econo mised in the Railway Department. There was a falling-off pf 3s s£d per head, and an increase in cost of working of ll£d, making a total loss of 4s 4£d ,per head of the population. Mr Vaile quoted'figures in" each department of the traffic, to show that Premier's assertions to the contrary. He tad promised to go to the Waikato next week, but if it would be interesting to them he would be pleased to give an evening to the consideration of the desirability or Otherwise of selling or leasing our railways. At present, we required to get more people on the land, and develop internal trade. He claimed for his system that it would establish inland towns, aad would lead to a fairer distribution of wealth, would readjust the burden of taxa tion, and would increase our revenue. The railways should not be used as taxing machines, but as highways for the develop ment of our-commerce and industry. They should not be used for the purpose of paying interest to private individuals, and he was quite satisfied that tha day was not far distant when Great Britain would have to buy her railways from the companies that owned them. He held that if his scheme of low fares and freight charges were adopted industries would spring up along the railway routes where sites were cheap, while the farmer could make his industry pay. His main idea was the settlement of the people on the land, and that end could only be achieved by a cheap system of transit. We owed the Govern ment nothing for their village settlements, under which our people were sent away to remote and inaccessible places, while Wel lington settlers were placed close to the railway lines. He believed, however, that Sir George Grey's scheme, with some modi fications, would be valuable to the country |n connection with a cheap system of transit, and he promised that, if returned, he would do all in his power to have that bill made law. fiis (Mr Vaile's) system would place the country on an equahty with the town, because the settler 100 miles distant would fee only six removes from the city instead of one hundred removes. He was certain that the adoption of his system would add at least half a million t<-> the revenue of the country. (Cheers.) He hoped that at this Critical condition in the colony's history we should be true to ourselves and true to each other. One cause of our trouble was the large deficiency in our railway revenue, and the fact that our railways paid neither directly nor indirectly. His system would remedy this trouble. The only man in the House who grasped the whole details of his system was Major Atkinson. Sir George way had grasped the main points, but he atmld hardly be expected to go fully into the details. Major Atkinson, Sir George Grey, Mr Moss, the late Mr Macandrew, Mr Gore, and Mr Walker were the only men, he believed, who had sought informa tion from him personally on the sub ject. He desired to go into the House in order that he might agitate this scheme of reform. We had many lawyers and talkers in the House, and few thinkers, and he was one of these. He promised if elected to do his best for the general good. Mr Vaile eat down amidst loud cheers. In reply to questions, Mr Vaile said :he objected to the principle of free passes, ;*nd under his system there would be no aeed for them. The speed of the trains was atrocious. His scheme would not entail a large additional cost in working expenses. He believed that ►trains could be run on our present l_ines at a speed of 40 miles an hour. The trunk line was diverted from Taranaki on , the advice of Mr Mitchelson, who was Min ister of Public Works. He went dead against the Stratford route. Mr Jeune expressed the opinion that if this was so, Mr Mitchelson should not be allowed to go into the House again. Mr Tremain confirmed some of Mr Vaile's remarks respecting the injury to the lanaipg industry by the heavy freight. Mr Vaile read a postcard from two Churchill settlers complaining of a gross i__at-___ce of inequality in the charges. In reply to further questions, Mr Voile

said he had not properly studied the ques tion of land nationalisation, but so far as he had gone, he could not see his way through it. He believed, on the question of local option, that any district should have the right of closing up anything in their district that they desired to close, but if they did so they should be compelled to compensate the people whose places were closed. He thought districts might buy the hotels and keep them as endowments. He was not aware of the provisions of the Eight Hours Bill, but he thought it just that there should be a legal day's work. The rate of wages would adjust itself in course of time. He believed it was right that only ratepayers should vote under local option, because they would be the people who would have to pay compensa tion. Mr Kramer moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Vaile, and Mr Tremain seconded. The motion was carried unani mously, and the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

WHANGAREI CITRUS FAIR.

SPLENDID SHOW OF ORANGES

AND LEMONS.

While the people of Auckland are de pressed with gloomy forebodings of the future, our Northern friends have just beei celebrating an epoch which to them poms to a bright and prosperous horizon. Tie Whangarei Fruit Growers' Associatioi— the same body that sent exhibits to the Col onial Exhibition—arranged for and caried out most successfully last Wednesdtf a Citrus Fair, at which were shown i per fectly bewildering collection of the gplden fruit. The anticipations of the mo__ san guine were far exceeded, an. the local people themselves were quite puzzled to see such a realh mag nificent display of oranges, lemons, citrons, limes, shaddocks, preseres, etc The large Whangarei Hall was fille/in every nook and corner with exhibits,and_t was the common remark, '■Who could ha* foreseen that Whangarei, in the space Jf five or six years, could have made s*_ch a dis play of citrus fruits ?" The Committee of the Association were more tha* agreeably surprised at the manner in whjch the fruit growers came forward to pro .9 in a solid manner the fact that the " . trus belt" of New Zealand is destined to, hold its own with that of any other placed the Southern Hemisphere. Those croakrs and sceptics in Auckland who say *v*e cannot -a-row a good-flavoured orange in New Zea land will, if they trave/ North, have to " own up " differently. The hall had been tastefully decorated to present a tropical appearanco by Mr E. 0. Weaver, the local nurseryman. Tree ferns and other shrubs of a feathery and luxurious growth wore liberally scattered about the building and on the stage an immense trophy of granges was displayed, artistically arranged by Mr Hanlon. The trophy was in trie form of a five-pointed star, placed at an angle of forty-five de frees. This wa3 filled by oranges grown y Mr Dobbie — who, by-the-bye, took the first prize for citrus fruit in Auck land the other day — and rested on a stand, which itself was deco rated with pyramids of oranges grown by Mr Bouttillier, Mr Blake, and Mr Hanlon. The effect was striking. On either side of the lull were tables loaded with exhibits from all parts of the district; not only including citrus fruits, but apples, jams, jellies, dried apples, canned peaches, fuavas, arrowroot, ginger, new potatoes, oney, etc. Mr Dobbie took first honours for the best collection of citrus fruits, Mr Hanlon second honours, while Messrs Brooker, Hdey, J. Griffen, Boult, sen. and jun., R. Mail., R. Reyburn, Carruth, Bouttillier, Blake, Horn, Porter, and others took cer tificates __"_ /Kfl.wAnfc r-loi-je=> -«./_-,jq ,t™. t._y_. -Wpoor man 3 orange, Parramatta, navel, Siletta, Seville, St. Michael's, Mandarins, lago, .Lisbon lemons, Mammoth lemons, citroijß, Bengal citrons, shaddocks, limes, &c. "Messrs, Hutchinson Bros, gained first honours for pure orange marmalade; Mr Chas. Tothill, second. Misses Dent and Whareora showed a magnificent collection of jellies and bottled fruits which could n©t be beaten anywhere. The collection v/as the centre of attracton to the ladies, and took, of course, first honours; Mrs R. Reyburn coming next in order of merit. Messrs Conyngham and Co. took first honours for dried apples. Messrs Bouttillier and R. Reyburn also showed good samples. In guavas, Messrs Hutch inson Bros, took first honours,and Mrs Wol ley took equal honours for the white variety of the same fruit. Mr Walker, of the School of Forestry, Mr Jas. Spencer, and Mr W. A. M. Bain divided honours for arrowroot; while Mr Spoon er, a new appcdntee to the School of Forestry, took a certificate for an exhibit of ferns. In apples, Mr Sharp, of Waikomiti, who showed a grand collection of seventy odd varieties, was awarded the first certificate for the best collection ; next came Mr Hanlon, who had a magnificent trophy of apples built of Rome Beauties. These apples were far and away the best in the exhibition, and as they and other hibits of the fair are to be shown in Messrs Hesketh and Aitken's window in Queen street, our readers will have an opportunity of judging lor themselves. The Fair was largely attended both in the afternoon and evening, and, Anancially, was a great success. One of the Committee, speaking on behalf of the Association, said that steps would be taken at the next show to have Auckland people present, so that the actual capabilities of the district might be more generally advertised. It is a pity that some Auckland people were not pre sent, for no matter what wo may say of the district who live in it, outsiders would treat it as so much gas got off to boom up settle ment and work off our lands. But as a matter of fact we are not built that way—our lands are not a-begging for purchasers, and in spite of hard times, keep up their value. Only a few weeks ago land changed hands here at L 27 an acre for fruit growing. Whangarei is now main*laining half the Auckland unemployed on its gumfields, and could support every able-bodied man out of woi-k on its fruit lands. A district which is so rich in the variety of its products from the land, and also in gum, coal, timber, etc., must lead all others.

CORRESPONDENCE.

During the elections, while there are so many political meetings to report, we must as\\ our correspondents to condense their communications. We have now an im mense accumulation of letters, some of con siderable length, waiting a chance of inser tion. The New CustoM-House.—"Competi tor " objects to the reduction of the plans for the new Custom-house to bring the design within the stipulated figure. He argues that fresh designs should be called for. A Parnell Nuisance. — " Salubrious " complains of an offensive odour proceeding from an open and stagnant drain near Brighton Road. The residents in the vicinity should appeal to the Borough Coun cil for the district.

A Word to Working Men.—Mr J. M. Hughes writes to sound a warning note to his fellow electors. He says :—" If you want working men a/s your representatives, send practical work .ng men to Parliament, and not men who 'fasten themselves on to working men's afjsociations . for political purposes,"

Responsibilit. of Representatives.— " J.C.S." thinks that " members are sent to Wellington to carry out the views of the electors, not to grind their own axes, and holds that every representative should be pledged to resign upon a requisition to do so being sigr-ed by a majority of his consti tuents.

Gas—Cur zr Off.—" Coercion " writes :— "'A.D.' and 'Lux' suggest the cutting off of their gas until the Gas Company are induced to reduce the price of gas, and as I heartily endorse this method, I herewith add my name to theirs until some conces sions are made. I know quite a number who wil] join in this crusade, and if a peti tion wal left at any prominent place, I feel certain hundreds would sign it." Mr J. Levy vrites to similar effect.

Election Letters. — A number of lefcteis have been received, evidently written in the interests of particular canddatea. As we announced before, sucl letters can only be inserted as adver tisements. We have endeavoured to report th. addresses of the several candidates very fuly, but we cannot guarantee to give an ecual amount of space to the opinions of al their admirers. The writers of elec toneering letters who hear no more of heir communications will understand that _hey have infringed this rule.

Retrenchment. —"Justice" says: "So much is being written about 'bogus re trenchment ' that I think a word should be said on the other side. How is it no one mentions the fact that many good and ab_le men in all branches of the Civil Service are filling (and ably too) responsible positions avt very very low salaries ? Men who are doing the work say for LIOO per year that their Eredecessor had L2OO, some Ll6O when. 350 was paid for the same work, and the larger salaries would be paid if men with influence in the Government had the positions; but many of these men have only their own merits (no friend at court), which stands for little in this world."

The Harbour Board and Cartage.— "C." says:—"lf this proposed action as to cartage were put in this shape would there not, after all, be material benefit, and it is what obtains in the larger seaport towns of England. An arrangement is come to with carters by which the rate of cartage is fixed at so much per ton for differ ent radial distances, and anyone can tell what he should pay. But here, I take it, there is no such arrangement, having been charged for heavy goods cartage (the handi est kind for carting which could well be) 3s per ton for the distance from Queen-street Wharf to equal to Palmerston Buildings, and 1 consider such a rate monstrous."

Railway Losses.—" An Elector of Auck land North " writes : " Taking Mr Vaile's figures as correct, I find that supposing the capital cost of our railways to be L 15,000,000, and that five per cent, per annum interest is paid thereon, the colony is losing about L 430,000 yearly by running the railways, which sum is collected from the taxpayers over and above the necessary amount required for the government of the colony. Now Mr Vaile says he must be a bad man who would propose to sell or lease the railways of the colony, and I think he would be a mad man who continued to run a concern which entailed an expenditure of 50s to gain one pound. For myself I should try to get out of it as soon as possible on the best* terms ob tainable."

The Naval Station.—Mr David Satow writes : "If the choice between Port Nicholson and Auckland Harbour as a per manent naval station rested upon the deci sion of a committee of sailors, there can be little doubt that the latter would be selected without a dissentient voice. Getting into Port Nicholson seems to be uncommonly like creeping into a Port wine bottle by the neck, supposing even your vessel to be a steamer, whilst God help the poor captain who has only his sails to depend on. Into this magnificent harbour any ship can come and find safe anchorage, whatever be the Bint,- .of wind'or tide, and supposing the captain wants to overhaul nis ship s nottom there is that splendid dock—as good, if not better, than any at Sheerness or Ports mouth." '

Movable Fire-bars—Mr C. Spragg, sen., writes that forty years ago he saw movable fire-bars, similar to those exhibited by Mi- Hampton at the Industrial Exhibition, " in use at Madeley Court Iron Works, Shrop shire, England, belonging to W. O. Foster, Esq. Besides, there were attached to four cylindrical boilers complete sets of firing ap paratus, consisting of hoppers, rollers, right and left revolving fans, with wheels, belts, and drums ; also adjusting gear, all beautifully got up. But notwithstanding, the hoppers cholced, the belts ran off, the wheels broke, and the brass work wore out so fast through the oil and dust, and the fire-bars would often stick up whon raised by the lever, and sometimes drop out en tirely ; so after a few years the whole affair was discarded altogether, as it was found out to be less trustworthy, more costly and bothering than the use of the old fire shovel, pricker, and rake."

Trout in Lake Takapuna.—"Pupuke" predicts that the trout lately liberated in Takapuna Lake will never be heard of again. He says :.. My reason for sound ing this warning note is based on the know ledge of some twenty or twenty-five years back, when Dr. Fischer liberated in this identical Lake a quantity of fish and also frogs imported from Australia. Since the liberation, neither fish nor frogs have ever ever been seen or heard of. It has been suggested that the Lake, being infested with eels from any size up to as large as a man's thigh, the larger members of the eel family have taken advantage of their smaller brethren and fed upon them long since. Others have thrown out the hint that the water acts medicinally on the fish."

The Issues of the Election.— v City East" sends a long review of the issues raised in this election, touching upon protection, land tenure, and other topics. He concludes:—'"Can anyone doubt the important bearing of the leading issue raised, the relations of the land system to production, trade, and finance, upon the happiness of individuals, the progress of the community, the increase and stability of commerce? Each individual must form his own convictions in the light of his own experience, observation and judgmenD, and remember that the especial functions of the public are to determine the principles of legislation, and •_•«*. honourable and capable men who are entirely free from any pressure likely to effect their actions, to apply these principles."

Thb Remedy fob. Destitution.—Refer ring to the scheme in England for colonising the industrious poor upon English land, "J." writes: "The propounder of that scheme, the Rev. Herbert V. Mills, has re cently written a book entitled ' Poverty and the State,' in which he shows up most vividly the pernio-ftus influence and effects of the ordinary methods of relief. As we have many industrious poor people here receiving 'charitable aid,' and as it nas been suggested to establish the workhouse system here,we should consider well any new ideas bearing on this subject. After detailing, the hopeless life of the ordinary workhouse inmate and the utter uselessness of such a career, Mr MUIb goes on to suggest a remedy, viz., co-operation. Many will think there is nothing new in this, nor much promise of any real good being done thereby ; but a careful study of his book will reveal the fact that he has mastered the subject of co-opera tion, and found the true principle on which alone success can be attained. We need a complete re-organisation of those institutions which, wnile profess ing to permanently relieve distress and re duce poverty, do so muoh to encourage idleness and pauperise the people." i

Te Kooti.— " Taxpayer " thinks that the Government should look sharply after Te Kooti's movements, and not allow him to go on until another disturbance occurs in volving great loss of life and cost in putting it down.

Protection of Colonial Shipping.—Mr G. S. Jakins expresses surprise that Cap tain Daldy should have thrown cold water at the Chamber of Commerce on the subject of coastal trading by foreign vessels. He says: " Are we to allow our local ship owners to be ruined and their vessels laid up by allowing foreign vessels to trade coastwise? Competition is right, but let us have fair play. How can we compete when the local wage is fully three times more than that of foreign vessels? The foreign vessel pays little or nothing to our revenue, but simply ruins our coastal trade. Captain Daldy says that he does not believe there have been over half-a-dozen foreign traders on our coast during the year; I should say nearer 20— at any rate quite sufficient to bring down freights so that it is impossible to compete ahd pay colonial wages. This is going to apply to steamers as well as sailing vessels, for foreign steamers are to be subsidised to run on our coasts. Unless something is done we shall have all our coastal trade done by German and American vessels, and I am glad to see our Chamber of Com merce taking the matter up. At the present depressed state of New Zea land we can't afford to close any of our local industries or lose any of our population to benefit the foreigner, who takes good care that we shall not trade on his coast. The foreign motto is, you shall not trade on our coasts, but we will trade on yours ; we will not import your goods, but you shall take ours, eyen if we have to tax ourselves to provide heavy bounties."
