CORRESPONDENCE.

Free Trade v. Protection.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—A great deal has been written about the advantages of Free Trade, versus Protection. I should like to see the fol lowing properly controverted :—A country such as ours has been opened up by Rail ways at large expense and in part settled, but those who have taken up the land can not make a living out of it, because the prices offered at home for their pro duce are not sufficient, this is giving the cause of free trade a fair trial, viz., by producing what our country is fitted for, the result is failure and of course no ono will go into the country under such circumstances. Now, sup pose instead of sending our produce home at unrenumerative rates, we keep_ it here and manufacture it, as for instance, wool, we save the cost of sending- home and re-sending back again. We then employ more mon, and they in turri^ employ and afford a living to others. If we put high protective duties on every _ article wliich could be made in this colony, the thousands who are employed at home making the articles we import would have to come here, they and their families would form such a large community that instead of us having to send our grain and mutton home for sale, we could sell it here at better prices. Then our money would be kept in the country. Everyone would be in employment, and, therefore, better able to give higher prices for the goods they buy. What is the prac tical use of free trade if Aye have not got the money to buy the articles we import ? A man can afford to give a higher price for an article if he is constantly employed than if he is not. What would be the re sult if we had a hundred thousand pro ducers in the colony ? This would mean with their families half a million souls, all of whom would require food which would give employment to thousands of farmers and tradespeople, then tbe railways would commence, to pay handsomely, and the debt which is considered awful just now would be laughed at. Things would then really go ahead with leaps and bounds. What free trade country in the world ever became great by prac tising free trade from its infancy? Did not England protect her industries until they could stand alone? But even now, if the Chinese or natives of India were only to commence to manufacture the same articles as are done in England, and send them there, they could soon shut up the English manufnetories. English people are as much supported by the interest they get on the loans that have been floated by the colonies and foreign countries as they are by their manufactories. Free trade is nice in theory, but is nonsense in practice for a young country. If the present Parliament does not favour protec tion, it may be depended upon that the next will, for the interest on our debt must be paid, and the only way it can be done is to increase the population and the means of employing them.—l am, etc., Young Colonial.

Sad End of an Eccentric Lady.

A lady, who was 87 years of age, Miss Allan, of Wilton House, Darlington, has just died under somewhat mysterious cir cumstances. Miss Allan had long lived a solitary life, and had no intimate relations with tho outside world. Her eccentric ities were notorious, and had been for many long years. One of her peculiarities was the maintenance of an extraordinary antique costume, which might have been fashionable when George 111. was king, but which certainly was not worn by finy of her contemporaries. She also acquired some degree of notoriety by her high handed manner in deciding disputes with agents and others, which frequently brought her into the law courts. Her interests have been entrusted to a large number of lawyers. Living totally alone, her end has been as mysterious as her life. On Tuesday morning, she was seen by Mrs Ward, her occasional charwoman, apparently in her usual health- On the Wednesday and Thursday, no intelligence had been reported of her movements. On Friday a boy named Reed had occasion to call at Wilton House, but was unable to gain admittance. He states, however, that he distinctly heard Miss Allan say, •'Come in." This was not an unusual occurence with the eccentric lady, but on the boy being again unsuccessful in seeing her on tne Saturday, and receiving no re sponse to his knocking, the circumstances were reported te Mr Robinson, her lawyer, who proceeded to the residence of his client. Entrance was effected by breaking open a' window, when Miss Allan was found in her bedroom on the bed quite naked, and in terrible agony from burns on her breast and body. She has since died.

Moustaches Forbidden.

It is curious to recall the changes which have taken place in Boston- (say a corres pondent) in regard to the wearing of whiskers and moustaches. In my boyhood a moustache was a Badge of indifference to respectability, and a young business man who ventured to wear one found his credit the worse for the experience. I recall a story told me of the head of a dry goods house, whose son, on his return from Europe, was received very coldly by the " govenor." This became so noticeable that one of the junior partners took the young man aside and told him that the gause of his father's displeasure was his moustache. This turned put to be true. When the " riioustadhe mb'vei-ieht" had acquired some headway, an eccentric merchant of the old school, v. ho had observed that some of his clerks had yielded'_o its attractions, gave notice that while he opposed the tendency he was willing to make a compromise with such of his employes as were in favour of it. Calling his clerks together, he made a short address on the dangers of trifling with tbe proprieties which custom had established, and ended by saying, " Ido not propose to wholly restrict the gentlemen in my employ from wearing moustaches, but I cannot allow them'to be worn in business hours."

TO THE ELECTORS OF EDEN. Gentlemen,—As I find that rumours are being circulated to my disadvantage, I bog to say that I pledge my word to be Nominated for the Eden Seat, and go absolutely to the Poll. I am satisfied that I already possess the con fidence and support of a majority of the Eden electors, and much as I regret the necessity of contesting the scat with one of my own party, I feel that being first in the field and seeking to represent the district in which I am personally resident, taken together with the support and confidence I have referred to, constitutes a claim superior in. all respects to that of my opponent to the seat. 1 feel that I would be false alike to myself and to you were I now to do otherwise than fight the contest to the end. I have been subjected to many temptations from other constituencies, both in the North aud in the South, to desert Eden; but Eden was my first choice, and to my first choice I remain true. Yours faithfully, J. AITKEN CONNELL. AUCKLAND WEST. Supporters of Mr E. W.
