THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

hs OSBORNE AT W^W.

itrtfl_Mt-Mf« the" electors Of Madvi" «„ attended at the" Newmarket Hall last ■veiling to listen to the views of Mr hbrimtf upon political matters. On the iy§*iff*Ws Mr w-Ho^ waj teted to the chair. He briefly introduced i speaker, and said it was hardly Sffi to ask for h m a fair and BR hearing. He hoped that to irould in the coming contest record ffl Us'lntelligently for the best man. feWne was received with applause B prefaced his remarks by Stating that » had been patiently listened to at Wk and he hoP, ed receive SSut- kindly attehtion that even s'' Although his opinions might be m --U his expressions were don ___hai He was sorry to oppose a 3U like Sir Maurice O'Rork. (A <fe I" Why ?") because he knew no better jafitotake up the position. Still, as he '_& MeeK-da numerously signed requisi te to stand he had felt it his duty to come Mfd. (Applause.) He wished to put itoetf fbhfc with his constituents upon jMot two points on which he had been frongly rdporfced. First, he had not said lathe believed that people could not make aviogia the laud under Mr Ballance's Wit Settlement Scheme ,' neither did he Abe thonght that State education •hcHildstop -t th© 4fch Standard. He was „t opposed to the Eight Hoars Bill, Align he did think that it was not rate satisfactory in some of its wrato. He believed that if every tan amongst them -worked eight hours Ida? there would be plenty. He joaridered that the colony was in a bad fte, Already they had nearly a debt oi J,000,000. True, it had not yet reached ki atoo-itti but ifc was fast going b that way. Besides this there were leSdency bills at Wellington .amounting o about LSOO.OOO. He" thought that this uoount should he added to the debt of the colony, and by that means LI 8,000 per mum might be saved, as the money could »obtained at 4 per cent., whereas at stmt they were paying G per cent. They ■kid always remember that the State was ieaggregate of the individuals composing i, and on that principle get the money at iecheapest rate. He found that their Go trajnent departmental expenses alone cost ikrat Uss per head. Surely there was an torn* for considerable retrenchment; in ii Civil Service. He sa*w that the Political .ioancial Reform Association had formu ated a statement in which it was stated 4jHi3flO,ooo could be saved in the Civil *«mcc alone. Well, he was prepared to we^t that line, and go in for practical ro tation in the expenditure. He also found »tlieColonial Treasurer's Statement that $.000 was put down under the heading i contingencies. He did not know T_t that meant, bufc he thought that there ■a another opening for retrenchment. At 'resent tbe colony had got a bad name, »t he thought that by retrenchment and *ttnu management they might recover ■heir good name, and thus attract * their shores the right stamp of totaigfants. He was opposed to plural 'otingjov the legislature, but he would >%ib tound by restricting persons who w been convicted of an indictable offence ; loafet3 from standing at the .wliog booth, on the same footing as the west men who were in full possession of «w faculties. He might tell them plainly ™t he Whs in favour of local option, but *m favoured a reasonable compensa ™ if the persons chose to close a pro p conducted hotel. He thought that «*4S absolutely necessary to amend the Wp bankruptcy laws. At present the ™J Jan who could safely go into basi s' »i Auckland was the man who to lose. (Laughter.) Hebe a7f t!"5 San Francisco mail service, ■* thought that it was the best for the J» m & whole, With regard to educa te considered that they were at pre pjßjmg to do too much in that way. teufffj,o3!"? more than the colony JJ afford. They might, perhaps, give the WJ u imanybeneltsata less expense. BBSS f">m the statistics that they, had -ESffir'-SLP** cent, more teachers Z u y¥in Victoria, and 33 per cent. H ii \ heyhad 'm Nw South Wales. «sU°?ft, therefore, that) a reduction WReffected "*that direction. Mr WwT? 44 a quotation from Mr gj-is (head-masterof Beresford-street *s.ta*-?"K-how that the syllabus BSft *-"-" Osborne said that S SX_T_ aL * 4ti? ti of quill-drivers. boy- and girls in Su7e^ s '.and let those who had ■* b 2 PUSh %wn ™-y- was no i into a Back than ifc Nomfw Was b0 ÜBe -ticking the ni!,a- a ,B(* uate hole- Let them 081 education.

He "^»teveU w , but he wished

to bo a leveller upward* and not downwards. (Applause.) It they improved the condition ofthe working classes the upper Btl-ata must also feel the advantage. Tney heard a good deal nowadays about over-production and over consumption, but there never was a greater baud. Could they say that there was over P^*;-. ° of the common necessaries of hie when there were people amongst them sufler ing alsolute poverty? .tAm^ncaAVas-realg a "free trado world in itself; But i order to keep off foreigners, America lad heavy protective duties, but were the people any the bettei* off? He said So they were not. It was no good to have high wages if the goods were hUer in proportion ; in fact, the money did no°b go as fat: Atthe present: time; Eng land was seriding large quantities of steel rails into America, notwithstanding a pro tective duty of 33 per cent. Had h ever heard of America sending steel tails to Great Britain in any large quantity? No, they had not. lb was the same also in the linen trade. Were the Continental work-people any better ofTthan their breth ren in Great Britain, although they had protection? No, they were not. He could tell them that the workmen on the Con tinent worked .2 hodrs, while in Great Britain they only worked 56 _ hours a week. That was in the textile manufacture. (Mr Jury • " That's because they have no trades unions, sir.") He c^lso quoted figures toshow that Victoria was going back in consequence of her protective policy. In population alone New South Wales had gained by SOper cent Nor were the people better off, for the wealth averaged per head in New South Wales L 241 as against Ll9B in Victoria. That was a hard fact. In 14 years Victoria had in creased her trade by 32 per cent., while that of New South Wales increased 120 per cent.; that, too, in the face of the fact that in Victoria L 85,000,000 worth of gold had been dug out of the ground, while" New South Wales had only dug out L 15,000,000, thus giving Victoria a gam of L7O 000,000, and yet she was so far behind the sister colony. The Cry for protection had proceeded from Sir Julius Vogel, be cause he wanted to raise more revenue. That was the way he was trying to lead the people by the nose. At the present time they had the game Cry going on in Eng land. It Catoe principally from the land lords. Thfey Wanted te put 8s a quarter on the wheat, as they said, to save the farming industry from extinction. Of course, that Would improve the rents of the l&fidlbrds. It was well that they should consider these question-. Mr John Bright had put the matter very pat when he said that protection Was a poor law system by which the bulk of the coifamunity were taxed for the benefit of a few. 1 f they must pro tect, let ib be in things that could be naturally raised and manufactured in the colony. Although opposed to protection, he would favour the granting of bounties to liiiv industry which they saw would eventually pay its way. If they had protection, industries would simply spring up until they cut one another's throats. Thus, as in America, rings would be formed to raise prices to a paying point, and then the people must inevitably suffer. The real question was : What were *hey going to tax? Well, he would- speak about the theory of taxation. There Were fotir simple rules to be ob served in taxation. (1) Will the tax be a tax on the pro duction of wealth? (2) Can the tax be collected Cheaply. (3) Is it a certain tax that falls directly where intended ? (4) Equality of sacrifice, so that every man should pay in proportion to his ability. They must admit that the Customs system Was" cumbrous, aud liable to be evaded. The property tax Was severely con demned. He believed that at the present time it was doing harm to the colony. If a man improved his property, down came the tax-gatherer under the property tax and fined hiti. for improving the country. Some thought an incometaxwouldbeallthat theyrequired,but he objected to that system because it was of an inquisitorial character. He thought that no tax sho 'd be inquisitive. Neither did! it fall equa.lv upon all men. John Stuai. Mill said thi.b the objection to +hat tax in the present low state of morality -~as the impossibility of getting faithful i-efcuttis. Ho could tell them that the income tax was a very difficult one to collect, as a man could, easily, defraud the State if he chose. He would declare him self at once in favour of a land tax. It was the only perfect' tdx. (Applause.) It could nob check production, but rather favour it. The tax could be collected cheaply, and would also fall directly. It would also be equal, for every man would be taxed according to his ability to pay. He pointed out to them that the owner of the land was virtually the owner of the people, and therefore the people would do well to consider the matter carefully. Statesmen were fo*-v tto wait till tho Will of the people ws*- ready for changes, and for his part he L-tiieved that the people of New Zealand were not yet educated suffi ciently to want land nationalisation. They all knew that the three factors of production Were land, labour and capital. But if the landlord took 50 per ceht. of the gain, the other had only 50 per cent, for the two of them. He knew that at present fche land was at a low Value, but when t>e present depression passed away,as it inevit ably must, then the value of the land would again jump up. His own fad upon the land question was simply that of John Stuart Mill, that the State should appro priate the accession of wealth to the land for the good of the people at largo. He also favoured the taxation of the future unearned increment of the lands of the colony. (Applause.) He would be no party to robbing ahy man, but this future increase did not belong to any individual man—it was really the property of the State. He thought that at the present time it was necessary that they should raise a part of their revenue through the Customs, and that meant protection. (Applause.) He would say take the tax off things that could not be produced in the colony, and put it on articles that could be produced here. He would say that if the bulk of the com munity wanted an income tax let them have it, although he did not like, it. He would be glad to see the land tax sub stituted for the property tax. He would also like to tax the native lands, and he should also like to sweep away the Native Office entirely. They had petted the Maoris quite long enough. It was time they were treated as men, and not children. Mr Osborne then thanked the audience for the patient "hearing they had accorded him, and then resumed his seat amidst prolonged applause.

Questions.

In anewer to questions, Mr Os borne said: (1) That he would tax the money holders by means of the land tax, which hit all alike. (2) He was not in favour of toll bars. The land through which tho road went should support it. (3) He did not agree wifch members' wives going to Wellington at pub lic expense. Members must be content with fewer conveniences in the future. (Laughter.) (4) He would like to see call shops closed early. (5) If elected, he could scarcely tell them whether he would support the present Ministry. To tell the honest truth, he would like to see a clean sweep of thewholecrew. (Applause.) Hedidnofcmean this present Government in particular. Others had been quite as bad. He would support any Government that was working for the good of the colony.(6) With regard to the proposed leasing of fche Roman Catholic Cemetery in Symonds-streefc, he held that ifc was perfectly competent for any Govern ment to alter the grants of its predecessors. (7) He would favour a great reduction in fares and rates on the railway.' He did nofc think that Mr Vaile s system was feasible; still, he would not object to let ting Mr Vaile experiment on the Auckland Unl, (6) He w '«s in favow °* Boa¥ds of

Appeal for railway employees. (9) He would not be "doing an injustice to the Bank of New Zealand by taxing the land. (10) He did not think that the present Ministry were doing the country any good. (11) He thought that it was a national disgrace that there was a poor law system in New Zealand. (12) He would favour a Government bounty for triplets, bub sincerely hoped bhab he might nob be a recipient. (Laughter.) (13) He did nob believe in a State bank of issue. It was a mistake to think that they could make money with a bale of paper and a printing press. Mr J. Andrews moved a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Osborne.

This was seconded by Mr Edgerly. Mr Jury moved •• That a vote of thanks only be accorded to Mr Osborne." He con sidered that Mr Osborne Was very " poly hedric." Mr Jury then attempted to criticise the remarks of Mr Osborne, bub was continually interrupted with laughter and jeering remarks. Mr Andrews then mounted the platform and asked if Mr Jury would state how it was thab he wenb back to the Govern ment railway shops against the will of the masters. (Apphause.) Mr Jury replied that he went back with the full consent of the employers. He had a right to look for work where he could find it.

The amendment was then seconded by Mr John Wither.

Upon the questions being put to the meeting three" voted for the amendment, while quite a forest of hands were held up for tho motion, wlrich was declared carried amidst loud applause. A vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman, on the motion of Mr Osborne.
