THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mr Vaile at City North

Mr Samcel VJile appeared before the , electors of City North at the Temperance • Hall lust evening. There was a good at- , tendance. Mr T. B. Hill occupied the chair. He explained that the meeting was • intended to be one of a conversational character. Mr Vaile was received with applause. He i wished that the meeting should be as forma! as possible, and that it should take a conversational tone. He was in favour ot frequent meetings between the electors and j their representatives, in order that better ideas might be formed as to their wants and requirements. If the electors did him the honour to send him to Parliament, lie would be prepared to resign at the request of two-thirds of his \ constituents. (Applause.) Indeed, he would bo in favour of a bill of this charae- j ter being introduced; Mr Vaile said that j the things we ought: to pay the most atteu- ■ tion to were railway management and land settlement. If wo "did not enable people to j have cheap communication throughout the i country we could not expect people to settle upon the land. A sum of fifteen millions had been spent in the construction of railways in this colony, and the weight of this expen diture had to be borne by 000,000 people. Mr Vaile then made reference to his own railway scheme. Looking to the future, he saw four things that required particular j attention, viz., a proper system of land I settlement, a proper system of transit, a J proper system of education, and the cul-1 tivation of the arts and sciences. (Applause.) ; Questions were then invited and answered i us follows:—(1) All reports furnished to the House and pririted'must be correct. (2) He thought scholarships nhould be thrown open to those -who had not received their education in the State schools. He be- I lieved, however, that competitors should liave been resident in the colony i at least three years. {:'.) The question, j " What provision was made in his system | for the carriage of live stock and other i bulky produce,' such as articles of consuinp- i tion f ' was one as to goods rates. Ho could not speak as to precise rates, because I ho had not in his possession the necessary j figured His proposals would enable a re- j diictibri of one-third on the present goods j rates and the sum of L200,00Q which would be saved he would apply to the reduction J o£ freight on our natural products. (4) His system would especially benelib the ■working man by the reduction of fares. (;">') > He didhot believe that his system would j lead up to a reduction in the price of farm ing labour. (6) He was interested in selling | lands wherever he got them to sell. If ho i could sell the land he would be providing work for the working man. (7) He denied that his scheme was'onc in tho interests of I capitalists and landowners, and he had j not been put forward by ft clique j or anybody. Capitalists and landowners i were the last persons he thought of when j drafting his scheme. (8) He was not i likely to occupy a billet obtained through j going into Parliament, but he wished to be j pnfc mto some position from which1 he could j supervise the working of his railway scheme. AY hen it was in fair working order ho was prepared to clear out. (9) He was cer-1 tainly not a free-trader. (10) Men working j on railways hold very responsible positions ! —(A voice: "Crawling positions !")—and j he Was certainly not in favour of reducing i their wages. (11) If he accepted the billet of manager of railways (which he would : not do) lie presumed he would have to take j what salary he could get. (12) He was in j favour of a judicious fostering of local j industries. (13) Ho was not sufficiently acquainted with Sir Ccorge Orcy"s Law Practitioners Bill to express his views with reference to it. (14) The adoption of a cheap system of transit would mean an increase of employment for men in all the railway workshops of New Zealand. (15) He proposed to give any district the power to buy out public-houses, and to retain the same as a permanent endowment for the district. (16) Tho election of licensing commissioners could be done by house holders, but only property-owners should be allowed to vote under the Local Option Bill. (17) The adjustment of tariff duties I required careful consideration. Speaking generally, he thought 2j per cent, duty would not be too much to put on furniture. Ironwork required to be classified. (IS) The Upper House might be reduced in number, and also in the expense of main tenance, but he would not do away with it altogether. He was in favour of making the Upper House elective. (1!)) A man should do his day's work on the jury without any"pay. (20) There was a good deal of land close to a railway to let at Is per acre. (21) He was convinced that the present railway system would never pay. Under his system, if we got three fares for one as obtained, we would make a clear gain of £200,000; and if live fares for one, as he expected, there would be an increase of half a million. (22) A more fatal step'than to sell our railways could not possibly be taken, and he would go dead against any such proposal. (2:i) He would assist to introduce a bill to punish a man for purchasing goods from children under sixteen years. (24) Under present circumstances he did not think the wes tern loop line was required, but as the railways dev-eloped and the passenger traffic increased some additions would be necessary. In which direction this was to be carried out he was not prepared to say. (25) He was opposed to a mileage railway system of any kind, because a man distant, say 150 miles, could not compete with another only, one mile off. (28) Pro tection should be given to prevent foreign vessels taking away our coastal trade.

Several other questions having been answered, a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Vailc was proposed by Mr Wood. This was seconded and carried unanimously.

AIR CORNELL AT MOUNT EDEN.

Mr J. Aitkkx Conkell addressed a meet in"- of Eden electors on Thursday night at Waite's Hall, Mount Eden. The hall was well filled, the whole of the available sit ting space being occupied. Mr Carbines was voted to the chair.

Mr Connell was received with loud ap plause. He vigorously enforced the politi cal opinions which he has previously enun ciated at his various meetings, and tren chantly assailedtheC! overnraent policy. He at tributed a considerableamountofthedepres sion now prevailing to thesense of insecurity and want of confidence in the condition and credit of the colony, induced by the wild and visionary character of many of their schemes, and considered that the first essential to a return to a sounder state of affairs would be to turn them out and replace them with men of business capacity and practical common sense. The proposal largely to increase protective duties with out denying revenue from the .same would fcimpl} mean the heaping up of additional grievous burdens upon the people's shoulders. Mr Connell wont on to show that if it were possible largely to decrease imports and increase exports the result of a flow of gold into the colony beyond its circulation requirements, instead of pro ducing prosperity, would simply mean such an increase in prices within the colony as to seriously decrease the purchasing power of the sovereign. The result would inevitably be that th(f holders of money would leave a country where money was so little worth for other countries where the purchasing power of the sovereign stood at its natural standard. All attempts by artificial legis lation to alter natural values of any kind

could only result in terrible disaster to a people so ignorant and foolish as to at tempt it. Mr Council dealt exhaustively with the native land question and the aboriginal population of the colony gener ally. He commented strongly on the un fairly indulgent treatment of Maoris to the prejudice of the civilised portion of the community. He went at considerable length into the question of land settlement, and said that the most valuable class of colonist in his opinion was the man who had saved enough to give him a real interest and stake in the .success of his undertaking. There were a large number of this class in the colony who made our best settlers, and under the deferred payment system, which was the most, successful ever tried in the colony, .such settlers could now leave 90 per cent.of the purchase money lying for 14 years at "> per (■.out.interest. This great boon he (Mr ConneU) had been largely in strumental in obtaining from the Legisla ture. M r Council dealt fully with retrench ment, and stilted that he intended to support no Government unless a thoroughly satisfactory scheme formed a cardinal part of their policy. In conclusion he had hoped to have fought this election b'attilowithamem bcTofthe(iovcnimcnt, but as matters had now turned out the electors had to choose between two members of the same party. Their duty would bo to select the best man, and ho ventured to hope and to believe that they would place him at the top of the poll with a good swinging majority. (Loud applause )

Mr Connell answered, a large number of questions to the satisfaction of the meeting, and thereafter Mr 11. M. Shepherd mounted the platform and stated that he would move a vote of thanks but no confidence in Mr Connell. He then proceeded to criticise a former speech of Mr Council on free trade and protection which had been previously published. Mr Shepperd spoke at such length and produced so many papers evidencing careful preparation of his subject, that an elector present sug gested that he should himself engage the hall. Mr Council, as a point of order, thought it scarcely fair that the chairman of his opponent's Committee should deal particularly and at length with a speech that he had not delivered that evening, and which many electors might not have read. As, however, some of Mr Shepherd's band of friends present seemed anxious to hear him,r ho (Mr Connell) would withdraw the objection on the pointof order in order that Mr Shepherd might have full swing. Mr Connell suggested that as Mr Shepherd ap peared to bo fond of making long speeches upon political questions to the electors, he had better stand for tho House himself. (Laughter.)

Mr Shepherd made some long extracts from the " Australasian," and concluded by moving his motion, which was duly seconded.

Mr Shii ley Hill moved, as an amend ment, a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Connell as their representative, which was also duly seconded, the amendment being received with great applause.

On the amendment being put, it was lost by 20 to .'io, a large number of these pre sent abstaining from voting, and the original motion was carried. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, moved by Mr Connell.

Mr Garratt at Kingsland.

Me H. T. Garratt addressed a meeting of the electors of Newton at tho Christian's Meeting - house, Kingsland, last evening. Mr Pago presided, and there was a very considerable auditory. The candi date's address was generally a recapitu lation of what he had said at pre vious meetings. He announced that he would support any Ministry of whose measures he approved, but would avoid Parliamentary leaders with "fads." Ho favoured a thorough purging of the Civil Service. ( He _ advocated protection to the extent'of a' prohibitive tariff in respect of goods that could he manufac tured in the colony. He advocated a re duction in Governor's and Ministers' salaries ; the curtailing of tho voto for paid Volunteer' staffs; the abolition of the Native and Friendly Societies Departments, and would support the abolition of honoraria to members of the Upper House. At the conclusion of his speech a vote of thanks and confidence was accorded.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Prison Labour.--Mr Levi Stanton, Mount Eden Road, expresses astonishment tnat a deputation should have waited upon the Hon. Mr Tole asking for prison labour to build a wall on either side of the Pane Range. He says:—"The range is six hundred yards, with the round end say fifty-live chain, and 1 am of opinion it would be dotie for L7o, including a subway. Surely we are not going to starve our wall-builders, and by our actions prove to the working men1 that prisoners are better provided for than they arc, and while they are struggling to keep at liberty, those in prison are living on the industry of the people, costing about L 35 per head per year."

' A Hunt wvr ouu Woollen Masufau tukeiw. —Mi; W. E. Browne, Mount Eden, writer.: "At the Healtiis Exl)ibition of ISS4 at Kensington, a company of scientific Germans Jind an exhibit of clothing made upon a system most conducive to health both as regards shape and material. ' The fabric they considered to be most suitable in meeting this desideratum was that com posed of pure wool free from dye, as most dyes they considered to be injurious to the pores of the skin. Now, as most of the slop suits imported into the markets are made up of shoddy, a material made up from woollen rags and any refuse that will pass the carding mill, re-made with the aid of strong poisonous dyes, it stands to reason that the weaving of Sncli stuffs must be detrimental to health, and I think our local manufactory should try to replace this objectional material by a produce of their own, con sisting of pure wool (so abundant here), as free as possible from any dye. The comfort and healthiness in the wear of such would more than compensate for extra cost. In submitting' this proposition, permit me to say that I am in no way interested in any woollen manufactory, but am actuated simply by the desire to encourage our local industries."

Fish ix Lake Takapuxa. - Mi* Edwin Harrow writes :—" I think the letter you published under head of ' Troufc in Taka puna .take 'is hardly fair to me. ' Pupnke' seems to throw doubt on all I stated. If he requites information as to sex, age, and number of e<r<;'s contained in my ' pet rain bow trout,' urn Jie calls it, and all other matters rotating thereto, I must refer him to Tvlr T. F. (.'hoesenian, who, haying made a poxl mortem examination of the fish, ! will; I have no doubt, be most happy to inform him. He nays I imagine there are no eels in the Lake. Now, this is not true, but although .1 had a pot clown for two months last summer I did not catch one. I used, however, to catch them with a spear at the end of a long pole, and even in wafer 1G feet deep I have got them as they fed on mussels on the bottom. Will ' Pupuko ' inform me the time of year eels spawn in the lake, and the part of the lake, that I may find some of the spawn ? Also, how is it no one can find young eels goon after they are hatched, or before they arc five or six inches in length ? Besides eels, tho lake lias two kinds offish called gobies, I think. Now, each year, at a certain time, these fish die in large number*. Is this caused by some thing peculiar in the water at that partiou

lar time ? Will ' Pupuke' come and spend a day with me and give me the information that his long lake experience has enabled him to acquire ? And will he do as I have done, pay LI us and place 60 rainbow trout in the Lake I Regarding frogs,l asked our President, Mr Baratow, who informed me that now there are plenty of frogs all about Auckland, and that the first came from Tasmania, but that living frogs have been found in stones on this island."'

Hvnrcoi-ATinr: Establishment at Ti Aiwha.— Mr David Safcqw discussing the subject of a sanatorium to be conducted upon hydropathic principles at Te Aroha,ob serves Lhiit " if the plan conies to naiturity the fact will be duly made known Jsi Eng land, where hydropathic establishments are so much in vogue at the present dajv, and lead to such happy results, if a well-ma turod [ scheme could be arranged, and thoroiughly well advertised at the "London ruplway ahations for instance, suplemented .hy a picture of the building standing in its own grounds, backed by the charming .scenery of Te Aroha, it would induce numbers of people who frequent health resorts of. the kind at Koine to make the trip out herd, both to their benefit, us well as to than of the above named famous watering place. Cinder proper management there is every rev quisito there in the shape of water, both hot* and cold, suitable for the different baths used' at hydropathic establishments in England. It could easily, and with very little cost, be made available for tho douches, sitz baths, sprays, and so forth, which form part of the adjuncts to a properly-arranged system of baths. I have' had occasion to spend a good deal of time at r.lie most celebrated hydropathic establish ment in Yorkshire, viz., Bur Rhyd dirig, which was conducted by Dr. Little, a aentleuian who knows as much about water euro as anyone in England, and the life there dining the season, lasting about four months, was one lound of pleasure. There were dances twice a week, private theatricals almost, ds often, lawn tennis, archery, bowls and bil liards, whilst those who liked ' a quiet rubber' could always find partners. Of course there was a marked absence of wine and so forth, but that was an absolute neces sity, as it formed part of the cure. Water was the order of the day, ;.nd some very serious cases were quite restored to health under Dr. Little's regime."

Mr Coxn tkiJj and Protection*.—Mr Ed ward L. Cartwright writes: " It is ever pain giving to be compelled for principle to place one's self in opposition to anyone towards whom one holds feelings of the friendliest character, and yet this was my position, and the position of many others, at Mr Connell's meeting last night in voting for the motion of want of confidence in him as a representative for Eden. It was with considerable pleasure that 1 listened to the greater part of his address, but upon the question of protec tion to local industries f consider him totally unsound, and unless, his views upon this question undergo considerable modification, ho will tind many, otherwise favourable to him, against him on tho polling day. For several years the markets here have been literally inundated with imported goods of European and American manufac ture, the effect of which has been to force lower nnd lower the prices of the locally made crobds of the same descriptions, until now there is scarcely any profit left to manufacturers ; indeed, in the major ity of cases businesses have been worked at a loss, for it is almost impossible for colonial manufacturers to hold their own against the goods from Euro-

pean manufacturing- centres—where they have pjre.it facilities lor utilising waste, and great labour-saving appliances, and where labour is both plentiful and cheap—even with the help the present tariff gives them, but far harder is it when they are placed in competition with goods which have been placed upon these markets and sold by auction and otlierwi.se at far less than the European cost prices. Such a condition of things simply means certain death to local industries, and what I have here stated is no exaggeration, for I know that many, many thousands of pounds worth of goods have be?n so sacrificed dur ing the last few years in these markets, to the great injury of both employers and em ployees. lam aware that many people in this colony say that there ought not to be any increase in the Customs duties on im ported goods, but such statements it will be found emanate, as a rule, from those whose interests would be ah"cutcd by an increase, and for this reason they appear to me to care very little about establishing upon a firm basis our local industries, for getting altogether that their loss would only be of a temporary charactei, and that they in the course of time would become dealers in the colonial - made goods to a much larger extent than now, and by this means be helping forward the solid prosperity of the colony ; indeed, in my opinion, they would find that their profits would be as great, their business simplified, and the losses which now occur from goods arriving at the wrong time would be avoided. This latter item forms no inconsiderable amount with an import ing business, and this anyone knows well enough who has been engaged in such a business. There is, as is well known at the present time, and has been for years, great anxiety as to what is to be done with our boys and girls, andas time goes on, under the present arrangement, this question will become more and more complex. The number of businesses to which they can be apprenticed are so few that many hundreds are now walking about with nothing whatever to do but to get into mischief, a tax upon theirparents in stead of an assistance, and it will be but little short of a miracle if such do not prove a danger and a. menace to the State in the near future. And to avert this terrible evil I consider it the imperative duty of all who have the interest and prosperity of the colony at heart to endeavour not only to foster and encourage every industry already c atablished, but to encourage by every means in their power the introduction of all others which are suitable for the climate and the people."
