MONDAY, JULY 11, 1887.

With the Egyptian Convention still | unratified by the Sultan, who appears i to hesitate between the English and the proffered Franco-Russian alliance, i affairs in Eastern Europe are made to assume a, critical aspect by tliej cropping up of that perennial source of! trouble, the choice of a ruler for Bui-1 garia. Prince Ferdinand of Saxe- Coburg has been unanimously elected to the Bulgarian throne, and; has declared his readiness to accept the responsibilities of the position; but that, instead of ending, seems only to be the beginning of trouble. Russia and France, as was to be expected, object to the election, which is subject to the consent of Turkey and the ratification of the European Powers • and i 4 the present temper of Gaul and Musi covite there is little likelihood of theif opposition being withdrawn. Itissaic} that in the event of the election not ber ingratifiedihe independence of Bulgaria would be proclaimed. But such au act is more likely to prove the signal foj.' the extinction of Bulgarian nationality!, unless England, Germany, Italy and Austria are prepared to guarantee the independence of the.little state. Al ready there are symptoms of internal disorder — the Ministry and the ■ Regents being at variance on some question of policy, which has led to the resignation of the latter. It is an ominous sign to find the Franco-Rug sian alliance holding firm, and threat ening to cause serious trouble. Events seem to be ripening for the final break upof the Turkish Empire. The pro clamation of the Bulgarian Republic and the subsequent formation of ia strong and independent Slav State may delay the crash for a time, Wit the chances of forming such a " buffer" between Russia and the goal of her ambition are not at present very pro mising. All the indications point to an acute crisis immediately arising in Eastern Europe, which will tax to the uttermost the arts of diplomacy to prevent growing into a general war.

PROTECTION V. SETTLEMENT ON THE LAND.

As there seems to be a degree of rdis apprehension in some quarters lon the former of these subjects, and a popular fallacy regarding the latter,i at once prevalent and mischievous, jwe propose to offer some observations! in the hope that their tendency may b| to abate these.- We do not pretend'"to say anything that is new, much'lessUo write exhaustively, but much t thai is old will bear re-statement, and may be useful at this juncture.

■In regard to Protection, some of j its opponents appear hardly ..to under stand whit its more . intelligent jad vocates! actually mean by the tei'm; others denounce it as opposed to orthodox political economy, if there be such a thing; and yet others seeni to think that the stock arguments against it,i valid and cogeiat as dealing with English f : ; conditions,:;are equally valid as applied to-the circumstances of New Zealand. ' '■- ■'■'■'. : 'fc'" '■ > | What is called the "consensus of opinion;" on any subject, in one way proves nothing in regard to it; looked at in another way, it is to many minds the mos't'cbnvincing of arguments. ■ To such it cannot be without significance that all the great nations civilised on the European model are, with the single and easily - explainable exception ; of 'England, Protectionist. One is naturally tempted to ■ ask, Are the. ~-Americans an unenlightened people, deficient in smartness upon questions relating to the creation of wealth, that they - persistently refuse Free Trade 1 '' Are the French and Ger mans not keen, thoughtful, thrifty folk ? Ts not the German Government

nq'ted for its politic wisdom and patriotism ? Are tho Canadians and Victorians, fools? AIL this, of course, pi oves nothink. These nations, not to speak of the (others, maybe under a delusion, and jincapable of understand injg their own! interests, though most people would j regard that as a highly improbable hypothesis. It would in deed be not mot merely improbable, bi|ifc inaccurate, These countries are Pjrotectionist ibecause it suits their cir cumstances land, interests, while Ejngland is ! Freetrade because it svdts her. i Through, a variety oi. favouring! circumstances, while tliie country- was still Protec tionist in poli'iiy, the English acquired a ■ manufacturing and maritime pre dominance, which of course they seek tjj maintain bj continuing to monopolise the manufacturing and carrying of the \yorld. The jwealth of English mer chant princes! and plutocrat manufac turers and money-lenders is evidence not of the virtues of free trade,!per se, but of the Wioalth-producing power of elaborate machinery, conjoined with an abundant j supply of labour at once stilled and , organised. And it is as the necessaryi means to the acquisition of these potent factors of national prosperity an;d wealth in new countries that intelligent persons a judicious protective policy. Under stood in this 1 sense, Protection is either jipart from jfche doctrines of political peoriomy oi is not condemned by them. j

I If a chose to Import at the general expijsnse machinery and. arti jsaus, political economy coi|j].d nothing' .to lay against that particular liinportation [more than agains| the im- Iportatioa oij steamboats or {railway [plant ) or if. a colony determined to iexpend -moijiey in teaching ib youth luseful tradesj, that could not be'tobjected Ito on prinfjiiple more tihan teaching !reading or vlriting couldjbe. ilf a par iticulpr fiscal) policy is foijnd ii| practice to conduce to these ends more jcertainly and conveniently than direct expendi ture would,'such fiscal pplicy is equally I unobjectionable in principle. It is not !at all a question of Buying in the cheapest aikl selling ip the dearest market, but 1 of the education of capital and the traijuing of laboiir.

" But," it is argued, " admitting that it is a merei question of the goodness of the investment, we contend that Pro tection is Unprofitable, and that it is more advantageous to send your raw materials t|o be made up where it can be done cheapest than to teach your own capitalists and, workers to do it oni the spot."' Well, let us see How this works in the case of New Zealand. It means that we ate to send our wool, for in stance, to [the other side of the world to be madtj! up into clothing and' then brought back , to us, in which transmis sion nearly half the value of the wool is absolutely wasted, so far as we are concerned,) in freights, both ways, charges and profits'. " But not only this, we alre to send wool to clothe the operative, and food to feed him. Surely there would be a saving in having him here, Why, it takes about half-a-million per annum to send our mutton alone home to Eng land. It is beyond cavil that there would be a huge saving, which would be available for division in better prices to the farmer, better wages and more work to the operative, and fresh outlets for the employment of capital, not to speak of the prosperity which would follow to those whose business it is to minister to the wants of pro ducers. So far from condemning Pro tection in this sense, political economy must applaud it as a policy tending to reduce cost of production by bringing together 'raw material and food, and those who work up the one and con sume the other, instead of having them, as in the case of New Zealand and England, sixteen thousand miles apart. ' ... I'JBut,Protection rna.y be. abused," say some; well, it is our business not to abuse it. " But it leads to manufactur ing being overdone," say others ; "look | how wooillen mills have been overdone already." Thereis a tendency in compe tition to overdo all profitable industries, and that is what ultimately protects the public, the consumer. "VTery soon, by operation of self-interest, the industry temporarily overdone adjusts itself to the demand for its products. Woollen mills have been over-multiplied not by protection; but by the emulation of our several : towns ■ — healthy ■ enoughj but expensive to those who over-hidulge in it." 'p' J • ,;.;;■,;•:.,! Let us -ask. the , more thoughtful among our, readers what is to become of the thousands of children now. in our schools, and who , dojnot all want to be, nor can be, village settlers, un less we take,timely .measures.to en courage' capital to start and develop manufacturing enterprises for their training, and employment ? Without this become i another Ireland, and see; the cream of our young popu lation loaye us, to add to the strength and wealth of; wiser communities. We shall sink to the abject condition of .tenants of absentee landlords, tributaries of foreign money-lenders, exhausting our soils, our mines, our forests, in futile efforts to bear the burden of debt we have foolishly laid upon ourselves. - Another politico - economical fossil which our morning contemporary has just dug upland dubled "Country Settler," is made in his " discourse " to day— that all classes of politicians are agreed that settlement on the land is of the - first importance, and that it should .be assisted (what; afiout political economy ?). Next he" discourses," and with perfect truth, on ; the privations and drawbacks incident to pioneer settlement; and on' the 1 ' superior com forts of town life—paid for by the citi zens let it be noted. Strange that another set of Free Trade advocates de nounce the squallor, etc.!, of *wn. life

So, while one set argue that: Protection robs the consumer, another. set claim that it over - stimulates production, which would seem to make it up to the consumer. , • r

But about this " Settlement on the Land." Why in the name of common sense should over burdened taxpayers be mulcted to promote it ? Is it that more butter may be produced when the price is already unremunerative % or more cheese when what is already produced cannot be sold 1 Is it to compete with these articles, and with mutton, wheat, fruit, etc., in markets on the other side of the world, against competitors who have many advantages over us, while all the time we have a market within our own borders to the extent of millions sterling per annum for articles which we have every facility to pro duce,' except machinery and skill, and which, nevertheless, we import from abroad ? We have spent forty millions of public money largely in " opening up the country," with the result that we raise more coun try produce than a remunerative market can be found for. And still the cry is " open up the country," "put settlers on the land," "more railways, more roads, more loans." We have significant indications of what that policy is drifting His to. Looking back twelve years we find that though our debt in that period has increased by leaps and bounds, and our popula tion increased greatly, our combined export and import trade is actually less in value now than it was then. _ Our exports ten years ago were six million three hundred thousand pounds; last year, six millions six hundred thou sand. There has been of course a greater increase in volume, but a mere lea bite for the period, and a sorry result of the sort of progress policy we have sacrificed so much for. Things have been brought to suchia pass that no prudent man will invest capital in any new enterprise, and money is being crammed into the Savings and other banks. If it be said "This is due to the great fall in prices," we reply "No it. isn't." The fall in prices does not affect you, because what'you buy is as much cheaper as what you sell is. Your mutton and butter will buy you as much tea and sugar, or more, than ever. If, as a community, you produce your own food and clothing (as you ought), it matters nothing to you if gold has become dearer; you do not use gold, but bank notes and, cheques, in interchange among yourselves, It is your debt that floors you, the interest on that you have to find sovereigns for, and the more money you spend in " opening up the country" the more hopelessly you will become involved, because the results show that it does not pay. . • "But," we are asked, "do you: seriously mean to decry, settlement ott the land in a new country V Not at all. We only deprecate making a* fetish of it. While the" country did not; produce food enough for itself it was judicious to encourage the home pro duction of the prime necessaries of life. That, stage being now long past, the Special need for assistance has passed too. Country life and theownership of a homestead nave strong attractions for some minds; give every facility for the indulgence .of this taste, but; we must be chary of spending the ; tax payers' money on it. Above all, pro vide a good home-market tor settlers' produce, and settlement will go on as fast as is desirable, without fictitious help or coddling. .

Mr James Mackay, in his address to the electors of Auckland North on Friday night, made some very common sense remarks on the encouragement of the mining industry. In alluding to the fact that some Waihi quartz which would have fetched L 7 oiv LS per top here, had, when sent to England, been sold at • L 47 per ton, he said that the plairi'infereaice.was that the method of treat ting these' refractory, ores had been dis covered, .and that the offering of a substan tial bonus by the Government was t the proper method of securing the introduction of such process into; the colony. Ass the project of granting a bonus first emanated from a writer on the' staff of the the. suggestion of Mr Mackay has, of course, our most cordial support., It is to the more vigorous development of our mining as . much ,as to. our. other industries that the colony will.require to look; for assistance, if the country is to be worth living it at all. It is incumbent on our legis lators to .carefully consider, the very impor tant matter, and we would suggest the electors : that at the forthcoming politi cal meetings candidates for election to the Housefof Representatives should;, be "ques tioned as ■ to;; their views on' this , point. Mineral wealth .sufficient, to pay off our national debt several times over lies hidden in- amongst' the mountains of the Cape Colville Peninsula,, but it can never be turned to profitable account until a cheap and effective method of dealing with refractory ores is at work in ouriinidst.; :;,.• /; / ;■■ F';i , ■"'" James Inghanij who was , committed for trial to-day at the Police Courb on a charge of'larceny, probably possesses the proud notoriety of being the oldest criminal in the colony. As far back as 1854 he made his debut in' the Auckland Supreme Court as a law-breaker.- Altogether 20 years of the past 33 years of his life have been "spent within the walls of a prison. With regard to the proposed extension of the tram service to Epsom,we learn that the matter is entirely dependent upon being able to 'procure a suitable site for a ter minus on moderate terms. Failing that, the Company will not carry out the work;" Many friends of . the V.M.C.A., having expressed a desire . to, hear. Major Dane's lecture on Friday evening next, the V.M.C.A. course lecture advertised for that evening has been postponed to the follow ing Friday, the 22nd insfc. ~.;.: a.
