bave some margin of profit Any °j^ method of attempting to meet the dilh culty can only, sooner or later, inevitably end in disaster. ... If the class who already find it impossible to profitably employ labour at late rates are subjected to severe taxation to be expended in maintaining men out of employment, and out of employment alone because they—the taxpayers—cannot profitably employ them, it seems to me unquestionable that the presence of this additional strain must result in their discharging further hands, and so on, and so on, until the colony entirely collapses. On the other hand, I have shown, in my speech at the Opera House, that a reduction of one.shilling a head in the rate of wages of the working" classes throughout the colony would mean that 13,333 unemployed hande could be profitably absorbed without calling for the expenditure of an additional shilling by the settlers of tho country who employ their labour. Let me tihow you shortly what would be the result of this. The labour of these 13,333 hands would just furnish the margin of profit which the settlers and manufac turers of the country require to enable them to carry on their business. There are a considerable number of improvements which the farmers and landowners are only too anxious to carry o»t, but which they are prevented from undertaking by the fact that not only is there no margin of profit from such works, but that there is a positive loss. A slight reduction of wages, however, would shortly result in alarge number of works, at present standing on the very margin of profit, being undertaken. And so the demand for la bour would be in excess once more of the supply. It would be but. a short time before there would be a tendency, all through the colony once more, to .a rise of wages. I myself, I may tell you, have been lately consulted with regard to the possibility of making very extensive improvements upon an area of about 50,000 acres io this provin cial district. But, ardently as I should desire to see such improvement made for the good of the colony, I have, been com pelled, a<J a conscientious man, to state my opinion that the operation, to be undertaken at the present rates of wages and with the present low rate of return for produce, in volves very serious risk of loss. I mention this as a practical illustration of what I mean. Again. I yesterday had a conversation with a large" landowner of Marlborough district. He has a very large tract of valu able agricultural land. He employs at present ten or twelve hands. I said to him, "Suppose you could engage really good farm labourers at say £40 a year and their board and lodging would that have any effect in altering your policy ? " He at once said, " I should probably employ fifty hands." The rate of wages for agricultural operations for export purposes cannot, in my opinion, exceed £40 a year with board and lodging, and leave a margin of profit, and it is only for men who understand work and mean work that even this rate can be paid under the present circumstances of the colony. The artificial rise in wages caused by the gold discoveries of Otago, Coromandel, &c, cannot be permanently maintained. I hold distinctly that the independence of your character, your self reliance, and your capacity for work are the most valuable possessions that you can possibly be endowed ■tfitb, and that the man who destroys or impairs, either ignorantly ov wilfully, their efficiency, is an enemy to the working man and an enemy to society. I told you at our somewhat excited meeting that, if I ever was in power I would never grant, as a right to the working classes, any claim that they mipht make for work on the Government. With the utmost coolness and deliberation I now reiterate the same statement. It is only under the most special and extraordinary circumstances that I could ever sanction anything in the nature of "relief work"," under all ordinary circumstances the unem ployed must themselves fight out their own battle for work. I feel myself that no one i 3 responsible, either Govern ment or anybody'else for finding work for mo. I am capable, with the help of God, of finding work for myself; and any man who insulted me by any proposal which threatened my independence—well,. I should be inclined to assist him with a kick, into the street. I am perfectly well aware that. a consid erable amount of genuine distress exists at present in the colony, but, at the same time, I have the brightest hope that if every man in the colony will resolve to buckle to, and do his own share of the work in front of us, whether in our private lives or in our public life — that we have sufficient grit among us, as English men and colonists, to surmount all our difficulties. Self-denial and the bearing of suffering we must f*ce like men, and, although it seems, for the time being, grievous", yet, nevertheless, afterwards when the trouble has passed away, each individual in private, as well as all of us in our public capacity, may feel not ungrateful that we have passed through dark times. We have a colony which, I firmly believe, \s unique and altogether unrivalled by any other country in the world, and if English men cannot live in a country with such advantages, all that I can say .is that they deserve to die. For extraordinary or sharp cases of suffering and privation, I feel satis fied that a sense of their duty both to their fellow-creatures and to God will never permit the colonists of New Zealand to allow an}' man to starve amongst them. In conclusion, let me give the men among you who are able to work, who are willing to work, but who are out of work, a little of an old colonist's advice with regard to getting employment again: First, I would remark, let the doing, of work well, when you get it, be your main object. Let the amount and the getting of wages be the second object. There are a large number of men who want very large wages, and who have no sense of responsibility whatever with regard to doing their work properly and honestly. These men do not deserve to get employment, and, whenever I find them out, I invariably discharge them myself. Secondly, the way that I should go about getting work myself, if I were in your shoes, would be something like this : First of all, I should make up my mind positively that I would get work. Secondly, I should start about it straight away, and should keep my'eyes wide open wherever I went for any work that I might perceive needed doing. I should then go up to the owner of the place and say something like thi9 : " I notice that such-and-such work appears to want doing here, lam out of work and will be plad if you will let me try to do this work. I think I can do it to your satis faction. I don't want to say anything about wages until tlie work is done, and I will leave it to yourself to say what the work is worth." If you follow tbu lino, there is not one man in a hundred who is base enough to take any mean advantage of you; but, to be successful, you must positively mean to do your work well. That is the way I would go about the job myself, and I can tell you no more. In conclusion, I hope when we under stand each other better-that we may, per haps, respect one another more than appearances at first seemed to promise. | I remain, gentlemen, . Your most obedient servant, J. AITKENCONNELL. P.S.—I had intended issuing this address immediately after my meeting at the Opera House. I have had a note of it before me every day on my business paper, but it was only on Thursday last that the above (ex cepting one paragraph) was taken down, and from one cause or another I have not been able to get it issued sooner, -rfcA&' •' •

Fort-street, Auckland, 26th July, 1887. To W. J. Suiter, Esq., and the other 126 gentlemen signing the Requisition. Gextlemen,— . I need scarcely say that tho receipt of your kind requisition has afforded me great satisfac tion and support at a time when I felt much my need of some kindly expression of approval from any of my friends who felt that they could conscientiously give me any encouragement. Nothing conld possibly afford me greater pleasure than to comply with your request to address you in Newmarket, but I feel that I cannot with propriety address the Electors of any single Electorate District other than that for the honor of representing which I am at present a candidate. (My Monday Evening Political Addresses are intended as addresses to the Electors of the Colony.) As I find, however, that the Eden District nearly extends to Newmarket, and as there is no hall within the district large enough to hold the number of electors likely to turn out if the weather proves propitious, I have decided to address the Eden Electors in the Newmarket Hall on WEDNESDAY NEXT, August 3, on the subject of Protective Duties, Native Indus tries, and Retrenchment. As the Eden Electors immediately contiguous to Newmarket are not very numerous, I have no doubt but that there will bo room for tho gentlemen signing the requisition whose presence will afford me very great pleasure. Thanking you heartily, gentlemen, for your flattering expression of confidence. I remain, Your most obedient servant, . . J. AITKEN CONNELL, |j

ON THE LAND POLICY OF THE COLONY. <This subiect considered in connection with Free Trade and Protection, also in connection with Land Nationalisation and Village Settlement Schemes.) MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1887. ON THE ABORIGINAL POPULATION OF THE COLONY, Including the subjects of Native Lands and Differential Legis'ation, wherqby privileges are conferred upon the Natives not enjoyed by the European population, with a few words on Native Landlordism, what it ha 3 done, and what it is likely to do in the future. MR, J. AITKEN CONNE-LL (Candidate fob Eden) TO THE UNEMPLOYED. My Lads,—On a recent occasion in the Opera House, when I was addressing the working classes upon the rato of wages in the colony and the unemployed question, I warned you, before I commenced my remarks with respect to these subjects, tbat I had some pretty hard thing 3to say—difficult for me to speak, and perhaps more difficult for you to hear, but which a sense of duty on my part compelled me to speak. Perhaps you will remember that, in a letter which I wrote upon Sir Geo. Grey's first speech, I expressed the opinion that there were things which were required forthe good of the colony to be spoken, and which I desired that he should speak as an older man, a better-known man, and a man more loved in the country than myself. But I then stated that if Sir Geo Grey failed to ppeak the words I referred to I myself would attempt to do so. That my sense of duty must have been tolerably strong you will yourselves apprehend when I tell yon that the best informed of my friends, when they heard a short sketch of what 1 was going to say to the working, classes, told me that I might as well close my candidature for a seat in parliament. Although 1 differed entirely from this view, yet I was perfectly well aware, and am now aware, that it is possible that, unless you of the working classes do really believe that I mean you well—which I tell you frankly is nothing more than the truth —I cannot hopo to gain the vote of the working classes, and without the vote of the working classes, I cannot achieve the over whelming majority for Eden, upon which I havo set my heart. It would have been as impossible for me to have stood up and told you the hard things I did say at the Opgra House if I had not had your best welfare truly at my heart, as it would have been for mo to havo faced the devil himself. But it is precisely because I do care for you-for your very selves more than for your votes—that I tell you things, which, unless they are told you, must leave you a prey to the unprincipled and to the schemer. 1 may tell you at once that I have been all my life a very hard worker. I have worked hard with my hands—as hard as any of you —and I have also worked very hard with my head. lam working pretty bard with my head now. I have always loved'men who loved work, and I have always hated loafers as I hate poison. Now, when we consider the case of the unemployed, I told you at the Opera House that they might be divided into three or four classes. I spoke of two of these classes then, viz., the old colonial hand out of work, which I attributed, in the great majority of cases, to the unfortunate habit which many of us old colonials have, of ex travagance, and particularly in the matter of indulgence in strong drink. The habit of knocking down or of spreeing away hard-earned wages, and that as soon as earned, is one which a large number of the best workers in the colony have in the past but too frequently indulged in. And, instead of laying up the larpe sums of money which, in the good old times, they earned so easily, they have acted the part of spendthrifts, and now, as they are getting older men, they have necessarily to bear the inevitable consequences. But, although this is the case, I believe, in nine cases out of ten, where the old colonial, hard-workor and efficient worker, i 3 now out of employment, I quite admit that there are a few cases where this may have happened from simple misfortune, such as sickness in the family and other causes. I referred shortly also to the second class, viz., those who, through vice of one kind or another, laziness, or, incapahleuess for la bour, were unfit for work, or whose work a best was worth but very little. This class is usually the one to be found passing threatening resolutions against the Govern ment for not providing them with work that they neither want, nor when they have it, care to do. You were so excited on that occasion that I had no chance of continuing as to the other classes, which I now do. The third class consists of those who, in consequence of inability on the part of the employers of the country to pay the higher rate of wages which has been current in the colony for several years past, are, by a natural law, cast forth out of the number of the active workers in the colony. ■ A fourth class may consist of those who, through trouble and misfortune of one kind or another—it may be, perhaps, sickness in the case of themselves or of members of their families, or deaths of members of their families, or some other misfortune—have got into debt and ultimately out of work. I have suffered myself too much of severe trial not to have very deep sympathy with these last two classes, and it is these two classes that chiefly, I hold, deserve sym pathy. I have stated already my opinion, which is deep and firm, that the only sound and effective way whereby these two latter and the first classes of the unemployed can be reabeorbed is by an acknowledgment and recognition on the part of the working classes themselves that the late high rate of wages cannot any longer be obtained by them— that, in fact, unless the colony is to collapse, the employer of labour musjj
