tectiva policy, wd he ohftlliflged & refutation oi; this statemuufc. Qdag back to first principles, it ir-ay bo ad= raitted at onco that all wealth must come primarily from the soil; but no political economist, since the daya when Adam Smith demolished the theories of the French Economists,would attempt to distinguish between the products of labour applied directly to the land and to the manufacture of raw materials which originally came in some form or other from the land. The labour of the man who turns wool or fiax into clothing is just as valuable to the com munity as the labour of the man who produced the raw material. The labour of the one is necessary to give value to the products of the labour of the other. In each case labour is the real wealth producer—land is an inactive agent which would be worth less without •labour, or would only supply the crudest wants of a being removed just one stage from a wild beast.

Now let this fact be steadily kept in mind, and ib will, we think, become evident that a wisely applied system of Protection to local industry must con fer equal benefits upon the mechanic and agriculturist. For what is the end which such a system aims at attaining ? Surely it is nothing more than to utilise the natural products of the country to the best advantage for tho people who live in it. As we pointed out in our article on Monday upon the subject of Protection v. Settle ment on the Land, it cannot surely be maintained that it is a good thing for the farmer that in order to turn his wool into clothing. he must send it to England to be worked up, paying shipping charges, com missions and other wasteful ex penses in the transit Home and back, and sending also the food to employ the workmen who weave the cloth, when all the work could be done on the spot by men who would buy his produce and assist him in bearing the public burdens. Ask any farmer what price he gets for his meat, or his butter, or his corn sold locally, and what price he gets for that which he has to export and wait the returns of a hazardous sale abroad. We do not hesitate to say that without the local market, farming, except to a few holders of big estates, would die out in the country. The farmer's true market is at his own door, and the : wider and steadier that market is, the i better for him.-

Let us apply a Protective tariff to any single article and see whether the manufacturer is a giiner at the ex pense of the farmer. Say that it is determined to put a tax on linseed oil. Farmers, of course, with the rest of the community, use linseed oil in painting their buildings, and may for a while have to pay a little more for it until the industry is established; but who will be the chief gainers from the creation of this industry 1 Un doubtedly the owners of the land who produce the raw materials. The same may be said of industries using tallow, hides, and wool, and a host of others.

Mr Withy was careful to select for his example the Protective duty in America on iron, because it would ap pear that, this article being one which the farmer uses but does not produce, any increase in its cost would especially oppress him. But what are the facts with regard to the duty on ironin the United States ? In 1860 the entire product of iron in the United States '• was only 900,000 tons; to-day it is 8,000,000 tons. In 1860 the metal trades of that country employed 53,000 hands; to-day they employ 300.000 hands. Has the farmer been no gainer by all this 1 Does he not benefit by having 300,000 people who will con sume his products on the spot instead of having to defray all the cost of shipping them away to consumers four or five thousand miles distant, who have no interest with him in main taining the instutitions of his country 1 Has the farmer no sons who have found in this iron trade spheres for the exercise of their special talents which would have been lost in agriculture, and who must, but for this metal trade, have left the country in order to obtain congenial employment 1 Granting that he may have paid a | little more for his plough and his reapers and binders—though it is ; a remarkable fact that, despite the cost of. iron and the disadvantages in shipping, a large proportion of the agricultural implements used in this colony are of American make—how was the money spent 1 Why.ih giving employment to his own customers, his own boys, his fellow taxpayers—men who are using it to make the country prosperous, and to support its indus tries and institutions.

If Mr Withy can show with respect to any proposed Protective tax, that there is some natural disability which will prevent the article in question from being produced in tho country to advantage, then his objection would be fatal to Protection with respect to thai article, bub when it can be shown, as it may be with respect. to a large number of industries, that ..the circumstances of the colony are specially favourable to. their prosecution, and all that we lack is the machinery, the skill and the organisation, then it appears to us con clusive that his case must fail.

There is one factor to production, however, which we have not so far specificd —because it deserves to be separately,treated.. We refer,to the rato Of wages. These colonies fail in making many industries- profitable simply because we are compelled to compete against labour conditions in which no patriotic man, bo ho former or artisan, will desire to bco reproduced hero. We. say that the labour aHho colony ought to bo pro tected a§#mßt that, and it will be to the interests'iri the farmer to join in

©pp©§iag i a condition which will as surely tell against himself and his chil dren as against any other class of the comrn unity, ' . : There is one other rather important fact bearing on this question which Mr Withy ignored. Let us, for the sake of argument, admit his contention that the farmer cannot benefit from Protection, while he will have to bear a large share of the burden. What class, we' would ask, has so largely profited by the special pro tection aud assistance of the State as the farmer? Who has benefited chiefly by the expenditure of the bor rowed millions spent in roads and rail ways, and the burden of which is now pressing so heavily upon the colony ? The farmer's lands have been enhanced in value, and his transit charges reduced, at the cost of the State. The interest on our debt is a subsidy to his business. If the action of the State in this matter was legitimate, it is equally legitimate to help other classes to develop which are as necessary to the community at large as agriculture. We cannot understand on what principle men who deprecate State aid to manufacturing industry can appear as the champions of State bolstering for the special benefit of persons engaged in agriculture.

FARMING THE UNEMPLOYED.

The secret is out. The Dunedin City Council, in a communication sent in reply to inquiries from Auckland, con fess that they made the tidy profit of about £2,500: out of the unemployed last year. They do not admit it in so many words, but the inference is un doubted. They say that, in conse quence of demands by the "unem ployed" last year, the Government considered it necessary to provide employment for the : men who were destitute, chiefly in connec tion with the railway reserves and stations, such as road formation, breaking and spreading metal, and other improvements of Government property. The Council, through their engineer, consented to supervise and pay the workmen at the Government rates for "unemployed" labour, on the understanding that such outlay would be refunded to the Corporation. As we pointed out when referring some weeks ago to the balance l sheet of the Dunedin Corporation, the difference betwetn tho receipts and ex penditure on account of the unem ployed was about £2,500, and, the Only reasonable conclusion is that this, represents the sum made; by " farming" the labour of the un employed to the Government. The peculiar beauty of the Dunedin arrangement is further seen when it is remembered that the labour for which- the Government paid 1 was really work" done to Dunedin streets, and which ought "to have been undertaken by the Corporation out of the rates. If was not a scandalous " jub " to benefit Dunedin at the expense of the taxpayers of. the colony, it was at any rate a feat in finan cial necromancy which is worth learn ing. "There's money in it," and the secret of how to do the trick ought not to be confined to Otago. Our Southern friends have made a'great hubbub about the money spent in promoting special village settlements; but they keep judiciously silent about the relief given to the unemployed and' simul taneously to the local rates, by. the Government tactics in Dunedin. They also conveniently ignore the fact chat, whereas the village settlers enhance the value of Crown lands and probably more than compensate the colony for the sum expended in placing them" on the soil, the expenditure on the unem ployed in Otago simply gives relief to the rich ratepayers of Dunedin. Mi' J. A. Connelj, who is a recent arrival here from Otago, holds that it is no business of tho Government to find work for the unemployed. We fear there are few people in Dunedin who ; agree with them.

Lord and Lady Brassey have resolved not to bring their yacht, Sunbeam, to New Zealand at the present time. Mr T. B. Hannaford, who was formerly in the ser vice of Lord Brassey's father, received the following letter to-day :—" Seymour, July Ist,; 1887. Dear Sir, —T am sorry that the inclemency of the weather will prevent our visiting Tasmania and New Zealand this year, but we hope to return to the colonies in a few years' time,' and we hope -we', may. have the pleasure ot meeting you then and seeing your invention. Believe me, yours sincerely, Annie Buassev." General regret will be felt at this decision, more especially as it appears to be arrived as under a misapprehension of the state of the weather in New Zealand at this time of the year. In two months hence, which, is the earliest date at which the Sunbeam would leave Sydney, we shall have'mild weather not unlike the English summer, and 'the colony would be seen in her fresh spring garb. . -, ..,. ' .-;< '■ ■;. Max Einkle's performance in the Agri cultural Hall was well patronised last evening. The various items were .well received and loudly applauded. To-night there will be a complete change of pro gramme.A new musical olio entitled " The Wandering Minstrel" will be put on, to be followed by a nigger sketch called "The Masquerade Ball?' On Saturday evening another change of programme will take place.

To the Editor : Sir,—Permit me to cor rect an error in your report of; a meeting of gentlemen in the Oddfellows' Hall, Parnell, on Monday night. The latter portion of the report states: "Those present were Protectionist, and free trade principles would not be acceptable to them. In place of that it should have read-" Those present, with one or two exceptions, held free trade principles," and it is a well-known fact that the majority of the electors of the district of Parnell are for free trade. By publishing the above you will oblige.— Yours, &c, One Pkesent.
