THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mr Peacock at Ponsonby

The electors of Ponsonby were addressed by Mr Thomas Peacock in the Ponsonby Hall last evening. There was a large attendance, and Mr Elkin was voted to the chair.

Mr Peacock, in commencing his address' said he wished to refer to some slanderous rumours circulated concerning himself and his candidature. One of these was to the effect that he said he did not want the votes of the working men, and could do without them. This was a gratuitous untruth. He had great respect for honest working men, and in fact too much respect for them to allow him to flatter and make much of them at election times tor the purpose of getting- their votes. Another was a statement that he made money out of the Rotorua railway purchase. This "was absolutely untrue. Ho would light fair and above board, and would rather lose the election than take a mean advantage of an opponent. (Cheers.) When the Rotorna Railway Company was started, he took up shares with the object of getting a railway through to the Hob Lakes, and benefit this district. He and others who took shares did not own an acre of land on the route. Owing to a defect in the Act, the Company could not raise capital in England as was intended, and the shareholders had to pay some £60,000 more than expected. The Government bought the railway at less than its cost, antfthe amount of £8,000 allowed as honorarium to the directors was not appropriated by them, but was put into the general fund. To those who said he sought election merely in order to secure political office and gratify his ambition, he might reply that he refused a portfolio offered to him by Sir Julius Vocel when the present Cabinet was being formed. Mr Peacock then launched out into an able and exhaustive review of the present political situation. He pointed out the strong necessity for economy and re trenchment in the Public Service, and ex pressed the opinion that little or nothing could be expected in this direction from the present Government. The retrenchment which they claimed to have effected already •was practically no retrenchment at all. The policy of the Government was one of extravagance and borrowing, and but for the check that had had

been put upon them by the Opposition, we would have been placed in n much worse fix than -we are. We had the statement of competent authorities that we could nob re-establish confidence in. the colony in the old country unless we had a change of Ministry or made the expenditure tally with the revenue. Mr Peacock proceeded to state in detail the directions and depart ments in which retrenchment could be effected, and emphasised the fact that he would be careful not to allow any reduc tions to be made in the salaries of the poorly - paid telegraph, post - office, and other hardworking officials. He thought the Maori should pay the same amount 'of taxation as the European, and that the native vote of £7,000 in the Civil List should come under the review of the House in the annual appropriations. He asserted that the cry of protection raised by the Government was for the pur pose of " drawing a red herring across the scent " for political purposes. For his own part, he did not agree with a free trade policy for New Zealand, and he had always advocated moderate protection and foster ing of our industries. There might be ex ceptional cases in which an advance might be made in the duties. He did not think it would be wise to, go beyond the present duty of 16i per cent. He reminded them that an increase of taxation meant increase of cost of goods (" No " and " Yes"), while moderate protection would give strong vitality to our grdw'in'g industries, a considerable increase to the duties would stimulate tM*ihdnsfcnes to such an extent that over-production would be the result, and our inability to export the goods thus produced beyond our requirements would be followed by greater depression than that under which we at present labour. America was instanced as an evidence of the evils of over-production. He had been consistent throughout his public career in advocating moderate protection, and he mentioned his action in a duty placed on binder twine to the disgust of Southern members, and in getting a rebate on the raw tobacco im ported by the local manufacturers for the purpose of flavouring. Extreme protection would be injurious to theworking-men them selves. Mr Peacock then proceeded to refer to the property tax, and to the assertion made in a circular to the effect that he was in favour of its continuance. He had plainly said in his previous address that he left himself free to support any form of taxation that he thought better than the property tax. The income tax in England, where it had been in force for a large

number of years, had given rise to great dissatisfaction. However, he could not help recognising that the property tax was deprecated in New Zealand, and therefore at some favourable opportunity he would be in favour of abolishing it, and making an experiment with the other taxes-—land and income. With regard to the limitation of votes, he was in favour of a modified Hare system. He explained his action in connection with the Eight Hours Bill, pointing out how such a measure $$ fcjiat introduced in the last Parliament

;|j*B not suitable to agricultural purposes. Touching upon the San Francisco ser vice, he said lie had always accorded it his warmest support. The contract would ex pire in November, 1888, so that in the new Parliament the matter would require the most careful consideration. He explained his views on the different forms of land tenure, and then proceeded to deal with the railways. He held that there was not sufficient elasticity in the system to meet the special wants of the different dis tricts. Would the system which Mr Vaile proposed make our railways pay ? He thought Mr Vaile was entitled to credit for the persistent manner in which he had kept the defects of the present system before the public. (Cheers.) The question was narrowed down to this: . Would the increased travelling under Mr Vaile's

proposed low fares scheme make up a revenue equal to that obtained under the present system ? He did not think that, while the population was so small as at present in country districts, we would be able to do it. Still, he would favour a. trial of Mr Vaile's scheme on one section of our railways, providing that the experiment would not result in a loss to the revenue. (Cheers.) He referred to various other important questions, and in conclusion hoped the electors would make such choice «»f representatives as would be the outcome «{ mature consideration, and the following of their own honest convictions. (Cheers.)

Mr Peacock answered a number ot ques tions. He said : When the loop-line was being considered, he did not advocate its construction on the ea:->t side (Remuera) of the city. The reason why he did not take any action in the House in connection with the recent unemployed agitation was because the parties who held public meet ings did not communicate with him bub with other members, Mr Moss being one. Seeing they had more information than he had, and had moved in the matter, it was unnecessary for him to move. Hedidnotvote against the polling-booths being kept open till seven o'clock. He was nob in favour of the CD. Act. His present feeling was against the totalisatoi*. He voted for everything that would tend to benefit the School of Mines on mining in dustry- He did not oppose the construction of a road at Cox's Creek, Ha was from boyhood a practical abstainer, and hi« sympathies were with the total abstainer. He would not be in favour of placing- an export duty t on kauri gum { still he

thought we should encourage our vai nishing industry, and endeavour to keep as much gum as possible m the "colony. He thought every encourage ment should be given to secure the impor tation of the smelting processes which had been so successful in the extraction ot gold from ores in Germany. A number of other questions were also asked and satisfactorily answered. Mr Courtney moved a vote of thanks to Mr Peacock for his address and confidence in him as their future representative. Mr Riley seconded the resolution. Mr Collins moved, as an amendment, " That Mr Peacock be thanked for hia ad dress, but this meeting has no confidence in him."

The amendment was seconded by an elector in the body of the hall. The re solution of confidence was carried by a sub stantial majority. A vote of thanks to the Chairman ter minated the proceedings.

MR COOPER AT RICHMOND ROAD SCHOOL.

Mr E. Cooper gave his third address to the electors of Ponsonby, at the Richmond Road schoolroom last evening. There wet® about forty present, and Mr Holde occupied the chair. Mr Cooper said he felt gratified at the re ception he had received at the hands of the electors so far, and felt that if he was not placed at the top of the poll he would have a large following. Mr Cooper again denied statements made to the effect that he was brought out to split votes and put in Mr Peacock. It was abso lutely necessary that the electors should put 'into the 'House of Representatives entirely new members in order to obtain retrenchment in the Civil Service. He claimed for himself that he had no ties or connections that would tend to unfairly influence him as a representative of the people. He was in sympathy with the middle and working classes on the question of education, and he thought it very strange that he should have been repre sented as opposing the present system, which he believed to be the best m the world. He was of opinion that there should be retrenchment to the extentof £300,000 per annum. It was quite possible that it would be found necessary to reduce the education vote ; but as to the amount, candidates should be unpledged. He would not pledge himself to vote for reductions on any par ticular vote, und he was not prepared to pledge himself not to touch any vote ; but he would leave the education vote bill the last, if ib had to bo touched. (Applause.) Mr Cooper then went over the matters dealt with in previous speeches, and in circulars distributed throughout the district, and re ceived frequent applause. He charged many meinbersoftheHousewith mercenary motives in urging a dissolution last session, and said this was another reason why new mem bers should be chosen. Mr Cooper spoko of many of our laws as being too cumbrous, and expressed his conviction that they should bo less stringent, and more strictly carried out. This Was notably the case in the Licensing and Defence Acts. Mr Cooper touched lightly on protection, and expressed himself in favour of a judiciously-constructed protective tariff. (Applause.) This was one of the principal remedies for the pre sent depression, and another was the settle ment of people on the land. He was in favour of the freehold in preference to the leasehold system. (Applause.) He was in favour of Mr Vaile's railway scheme, but believed it went rather far. He was Opposed to the present Government. Sir Julius Vogel was a clever man, but both ho and Sir Robert Stout were too clever for Auckland. His first endeavour, if elected, ! would be to oust the Government, and his second endeavour would be retrenchment. Questions were invited and answered as fol lows : (1) He thoughtthatthe colonies should not contribute towards the maintenance of British war vessels if they did not protect our interests in. the Pacific ; (2) he was in favour of keeping- Chinese out of the colony by an increased poll tax; (3) the gross amount contributed to the district railways was £400,000 ; (4) under an income tax, he would fix the exemption at about £150; (5) lie did not think it fair to accept the full honorarium, and would be rjrepared to devote a portion of the sum voted to any object in the district. Mr P. Oliphant proposed a vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Cooper. Mr McKune seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr Cooper returned thanks, and proceed i ings terminated with a vote of thanks to i the chairman.

MR MOSS AT PARNELL.

Mr. Moss addressed the electors at St. Andrew's School last night. The school was crowded, and Mr Moss was warmly received. The chair was taken by Or, Patterson' of Graf ton Ward. Mr Moss gave the elec tors a short address. He wished, in the first place, to get rid of a report cun ningly circulated by his opponent, that if defeated he would be called to the Upper House. There Was not the slightest foundation for this. The Government could not call him or anyone else to the Upper House till the new House met, and it was settled whether they were to remain in or not. If defeated, which he knew he would not be (cheers), ifc meant his re tirement from politics altogether. He urged the electors not to be led away by the idea that they were only to decide whether the Government had or had not the confidence of the country. The Opposition was as shattered as the Government party, and they had tj make a new departure for the good government of the country. That was the work the next Parliament would have to do. Mr Moss recapitulated the points on which ho had addressed the electors before, viz., retrenchment, protec tion, facilities for land settlement, and decentralisation. MrMoss read extracts from his speech in Dec. 1885, as reported in the Star, in which he showed his constitu ents the need of new parties and a new de parture. In this new departure the first step must bo the resignation of the present Ministry, which he hoped to see. If not there must be an adverse vote', in which he would readily concur, for at any rate the breaking up of the present coalition was necessary for the reconstruction of parties. He hoped to see parties formed on a healthier basis than hitherto, now that the borrowed money was nearly at an end and the Liberal party reunited. In the Liberal party the working men were the strongest element, and if working men studied their own interest they would not suffer any thing on earth to separate them from that party. All their own prospects, and the prospects of their children, were con nected with it, and dependent on its unity and strength. Mr Moss thanked the elec tors for coming out in such large numbers on so unpromising a night, und sat down amidst loud applause.

Mr A. Bell, in a speech strongly sup porting protection,- and which was fre quently applauded in the delivery, pro posed a vote of thanks to Mr Moss, and confidence ; seconded by Mr Dorington, and carried—only one hand being held up against it.

A vote of thanks to the chair closed the meeting.
