(3) That there would be no harm in reducing Ministerial honorariums by some small anonnt. (Determined cries of "How much?") Well, he would leave them to fix that. H) That he thought the country could very wilao with, one House of Legislation ; and tint if the Legislative Council were not abolished the, honorarium could well be de- Wed.

(19) He did not think that bank notes could stand a higher tax. (20) He did not think that in the present state of the colony they could establish a State bank. (21) He believed that the appreciation of gold had a good deal to do with the existing depression. (22) He was in favour of people conducting their business in the daytime. If he had his way he wouldhave norace meetings. (Ap plause. ) (24) He did not quite understand Mr Vaile's railway scheme, but he thought there was a great deal in it. He would not advocate it unless he understood it better. (23) He was not in favour of abolishing County Councils. With regard to loans raised by various Governments, although it was late he would like to give them a little information upon the matter. Sir Julius Vogel was in office from 1870 to 1874, then Sir Julius Vogel and. Major Atkinson from 1874 to 1876, from 1884 to 1887 Sir Julius Vogel was again in office, and from 1874 to 1876, from 1876 to 1877, and from 1879 to 1884 the Continuous Minis try of Major Atkinson were in power. It was generally said that Sir Julius Vogel had been guilty of reckless expenditure, but the returns showed that during the 9 years that he was in office L13,57'*,427 was expended, while during the 8 years of the Atkinson administration L 14,251,077 had been expended. (Applause.) In answer to other questions, the speaker said that he hoped that the . Village Settle ment scheme was a step to wards land nationalisation. (Applause.) He was not prepared to give a trial to Mr Vaile's railway scheme, except in any district which was prepared to bear any loss that might occur. The Government proposed that there should be boards of advice throughout the colony to deal with railway grievances. The interest fixed by law was 8 per cent., and if people gave more they were very foolish. He was in favour of abolishing Bellamy's. No member of the House of Representatives got LI,OOO for_ effecting a Government purchase of a district rail way. The present Government had nothing to do with Mr Seed's pension, which was granted by a previous Government. He was in favour of female suffrage. He thought it very strange that any man could not make a living under the Village Settlement scheme when others could do so whilst paying rent in town. It was not true that Sir George Grey's Land Bill had been interfered with by any Go vernment dinner or ball. He (the speaker) had, on the contrary, done all he could to get it a hearing. H6 suggested to Sir George Grey that as the Go vernment was bringing in a bill of the same character he ought to have waited till the Government measure came into committee, and then have moved amend ments upon it. It was quite unusual whilst the Government was dealing with a measure for a private member to bring in a bill on the same subject. Mr George Fraser, on behalf cf the Com mittee of the Industrial Association, ex pressed thanks to Sir Robert Stout for his able and interesting address. He therefore moved a vote of thanks to the Hon. the Premier.

The resolution was seconded by Mr Chas. Atkin, and carried unanimously. Sir Robert Stout returned thanks for the fair hearing he had received, and declared without hesitation that it was the finest meeting he had ever addressed in his life. He had no doubt that when the election returns were made up Auckland, as usual, would be well to the fore. In conclusion, he proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair man.

The vote was passed with acclamation, and the assemblage, in dispersing, gave cheers for the Premier and Mr Tole.

MR J. A. CONNELL AND THE YOUNG COLONIALS.

Pursuant, to notjx:e,Mi\J. Aitken Connell (candidate for Eden) addressed a public meeting of <( young colonials " on Monday night in th 9 Choral Hail. The "young colo nial" element evidently appreciated the in" vitation,for the large building was quite full } and the bulk of the audience was composed of young men and lads.

Some time was lost in securing the ser" vices of a. chairman, Messrs W. Kelly (former member for the East Coast), J. M. Philson and Sexton being proposed in turn, but declining the honour. There were also loud cries for Hodge, but that interesting individnal did not appear. At last Mr Geo. Akers was proposed, and took the chair. He opened the bqsipess in the usual way, and then invited Mr Connell to address the meeting.

Mr Connell was received with cheers. After apologising for n,ot being able, to speak as loud as he could wish, owing to a cold, he proceeded to state bis firm belief as a tactician (laughter) that the young colonial of New Zealand was a very important in dividual (Renewed iaughter.) A large number of persons who only took a super ficial view of things, looking over the face of society, saw a good deal of larrikinism and juvenile crime, and said, " Ah, what is to becopae pf New -Zealand when these young colonials grow up, and, becoming electors, have the government in their own hands ?" His reply to these pepple was that if they took such a pessimistic view of New Zealand, they were not able to see through a grindstone as far as they should. They only looked at the skin and surface of things. The larrikin element was chiefly found in the towns, and in pro portion to the rest of the population was probably not more than 1 per cent. With regard to the other 99 per cent.—the great ma^s of the young colonial population—he thought very highly of them, and it was his distinct purpose that they should furnish an example -r- not only to the Australian colonies, but also to England and America. He believed that the material possessed by the young colonial of New Zealand was not to be surpassed in the whole world. (Cheers.) Now, with regard to democracy, many people, loosed upon it as an institution bound to end in revolution aqd ruin. He, on the contrary, believed it to be the grandest and most magnificent form, of government the world had ever seen. It was govern ment by the people themselves. Still, unless they had good material in the in dividual units of the body politic, there was no possibility of having a grand and great democracy. He proposed that night to indicate some of the dangers which threatened our modern democracies, and in doing so he would first of all take a glance back^at the causes which wrecked demo cracies in the past. Mr Connell then pro ceeded, amidst increasing disorder, to pqint out that one of the earliest of the disin tegrating forces in the ancient democracies was a spirit of scepticism in the sanctity of marriage, leading to an alteration of the divorce laws, and to a decline in the. chas tity and conjugal loyalty of the matrons of the country. The same thing was begin ning to manifest itself in our modern demo cracies. The institution of marriage was being attacked ; ■ there was a cry by unthinking persons for the relaxation of the divorce laws. We had got to the initial point, and history was repeating itself. Our women would be degraded unless we raised a warning voice in time. Then, again, another great cause of the fall of Rome was the corruption of her senators and legislator?. In 277 b.c., Rome was so pure that Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, utterly failed to bribe her people, and the agent whom he sent for that purpose came back with the statement that every burgess In that State was a king. But 150 years later, things bad so changed for the worse that Jugurtha, King pf Hfumidia, found his vast wealth quit<i insufficient to grease all the paims held out for it; (foot ing and a voice " Hurry up, old man,")

They must really behave themselves. (Re newed disorder and a voice, "Oh,shut up.") The elections were marked by gross bribery and corruption permeated the whole mass of the Roman people. (Interruption.) Mr Connell appealed for order, arid the Chair man also begged the audience to give the speaker a fair hearing. Mr Connell then proceeded to say that another feature which marked the last century of the Roman em pire was the sudden rise of demagogues, who flattered the people's vanity, tickled them with all sorts of visionary projects, and made them all sorts of promises. Could we not see the same things going on round about us now? (Cries, of *'No.") He saw it with positive clearness. Public men made all sorts of promises in order to obtain power, such as promises to spend large sums of money in particular districts. This was neither more nor less than simple bribery and corruption. (Cheers.) Another danger was the worship of wealth. He had seen all these things, and the distinct purpose he had in view was to raise the public life in New Zealand, and to purge out the evils which were sapping1 its purity. His hopes lay with the young colonial blood of the colony. (Cheers.) It formed the grandest material in the world for democratic government. (A voice: "Oh, cheese it, I say.'") At this stage tho interruptions became so persistent and deafening that in order to secure the Attention of the audience Mr Connell proceeded to relate a conversation ho had had with two gum-diggers—"old colonial hands " —at the Wade, the moral of it being that drink had been the ruin of very many old colonials. The story finished, Mr Connell went on to say that one of the essentials to the effective working of our representative institutions was the division of our governing forces into two well-defined parties. At present democratic institutions in England were going through a period of great peril owing to the exis tence of a third party in Parliament—the Irish Home Rulers. (Cheers.) He intended to deal with this question next week. It was in consequence of the confusion pro duced there by the existence of a third party that he had distinctly said that in New Zealand we must not and should not have a similar state of affairs. Unless this were done the hand of our Government would become paralysed as it was at Home ; and therefore at the risk of unpopularity, he de clared that there was a power in New Zea land incapable of falling in with representa tive institutions, and that power was Sir George Grey. (Determined hooting and intense uproar.) Now, he had never said an unkind word of Sir George Grey, and if it were said he had he asked them not to believe it. (Three cheers for Sir George Grey, and three groans for Mr ConnelJ.) Bellowing would have no effect. If Sir George Grey got into Parliament with a tail of s>ix or seven it would be impossible to talk of retrenchment. Sir George Grey's training unfitted him for being a representative of the people. (Three cheers for Sir George Grey and three groans for Mr Connell.) His proper place was outside Parliament (uproar), where his well-known integrity and devotion to the best interests of the people would exercise a most salutary influence. Mr Connell pro ceeded to point out the desirability of the young colonials of the colony forming them selves into a, democratic association, and to indicate the vast power for good that they would wield. He concluded by moving, '' That this meeting cordially ap proves of the suggestion that a political association should be immedi ately formed, and be called the Young New Zealand Democratic Association, the members of which shall consist of persons between the ages of 20 and 30 years, and that a committee be selected from young colonials to convene a meeting of such persons as may be willing to join such association, for the purpose of enrolling names, settling the constitution of the as sociation, and otherwise taking steps to give effect to this resolution." ; Mr Sexton, to whom Mr Connell said he was indebted for the idea of forming such an association, seconded the motion.

Master Frank Mason, a little fellow of about 15 years, with very great self-pos session mounted the platform and moved as an amendment, " That the limit of age be 15 to 30." He declared that for three years he had been attending political meetings, and that he took a very deep interest in politics. Mr Connell, in order to accommodate this young gentleman, altered the minimum limit of age in his proposition to 18 years.

This, however, did not satisfy Master Mason, and having secured a seconder to his amendment by appealing to the meet ing, he insisted upon it being put. The sense of the meeting was accordingly taken on both motion and amendment, and the Chairman declared the motion carried.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman ended the proceedings.and the large assemblage dispersed after giving three more lusty cheers for Sir George Grey and three groans for Mr Connell.

PROTECTION AND EXHIBI TIONS.

Address by Sir Julius Yogel

(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Christchurch, Monday. During an address at the Industrial con versazione to-night, Sir J. Vogel said :— New Zealand Agriculture is represented at L 10,830,000; manufactures at L 7,436,000, commerce at L 13,431,000, and transport at L 1,750,000. Agriculture thus represents 323, manufactures 223, commerce 40 1, and transport 5-3 per cent, respectively. These figures show a remarkably small percentage of manufactures, and an equally remarkably large proportion of commerce as compared with the similar relative figures in other parts of the world. No one who studies the figures will have any difficulty in diagnosing the malady under which the colony labours —too much commerce, too little manufacture, or in convertible terms, too much working for other countries, too little working for itself. It has to be borne in mind that there may be large industries in the country without reference to supply ing other markets, and this seems to me to be the object which has most to be kept in view. If. the various countries of the world persist as they do in shutting out foreign imports by heavy duties, it stands to reason that the largest function open to new industries is of supplying our own market, and thus to avoid the necessity of sending money away to purchase the commodities of other countries. Never theless we may hope to send our productions to ajl parts of the woxld. There are countries where manufac turing makes no progress, to which we might be able to send our surplus'goods after sufficiently supplying the local de mand. Ido not think there is sufficient appreciation of the general practice of ex porting commodities for below the price at which they axe supplied to local consumers. It may Seem almost incredible, but I be lieve it can be shown that it frequently pays the manufacturer to export goods for 50 per cent, less than he supplies the home de mand. The result is brought about by reason of the cheapness with which, as a general rule, large quantities can be made of any article in comparison with the manu facture of a smaller number. There are two particular industries to which I should like to call your attention —the first is sugar. I spirally believe in the necessity of establishing local industries bha^ I am strongly of opinion that the present low rate of sugar should not stand in the way of investigation as to whether or not it is pos sible by producing sugar in the polony to save the immense, sums which, are §enfc a^y

for sugar raised by little better than slave labour. The other industry to which I wish to call your attention is that of cotton manu facturing. There is nota cotton factoryinthe whole of Australia or New Zealand, as far as lam told. In Canada there are eleven cotton factories.. The results shown there are of an extraordinary nature. By increas ing the rates of duty in 1878, the cotton products rose from L 220.000 to LBBO,OOO, the wages paid from L 55,000 to L189,< 00, being an increase during the short period of 230 per cent, on the number of hands em ployed, 213 per cent, on the amount of wages paid, and 282 per cent, on the pro ducts. In conclusion, let me say that lam inclined to modify the opinion which I held three years since, that it was de sirable to hold yearly Colonial Exhibi tions of the industries of the colony in the various centres of the population. I still think the Exhibition of 18S5 answered a good purpose, and that it may be desir able occasionally; after a term of years, to hold a similar Exhibition ; but knowing the cost of the Exhibition, and seeing .what must be done by individual efforts at various centre?, I am inclined to think that, it would be preferable, instead of an ambitious Colonial Exhibition, to encour age local Exhibitions of the present charac ter in various parts of the colony. In short, I incline to think there should be yearly exhibitions under the charge of the Industrial Association of a character allied to the exhibitions of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association, from which \ncon testibly large benefits have arisen. If annual exhibitions of this kind were held, small prizes and other encouragements might be given, and the Government, if it were able to render assistance, would be able to do so at a much less cost than was entailed by the Industrial Exhibition of 1885. What I see to-night, and the ex perience gained at such exhibitions as have been held here, in Auckland, in Wanganui, and elsewhere, has led me to conclude that most attractive collections can be got together at a very small cost.

MESSRS. NELSON, MOATE and CO.'S NEW WAREHOUSES.

(From the Cbristchurch " Press," June 27, 1887.) Few of the general public are aware of the many processes involving most delicate manipulation which are necessary in order to produce the proper effect of blending tea, Messrs Nelson, Moate and Co., who carry on perhaps the largest business in the colony in this line, having retail branches in all the principal cities, have been, up till lately, hampered by insuffi cient room to conduct their operations. Recently, however, they have acquired the premises formerly occupied by Messrs W. Montgomery and Co., at the corner of Tnam and Colombo streets. These have been iitted up as a blending store, and also to carry on the wholesale part of the business. A member of our staff recently paid a visit to the building at the invitation of Mr H. Nelson, and no doubt what came under" his notice will be interesting as affording some idea of the processes through which the tea passes before it reaches the consumer. The first room visited was thato in which the sampling, or, asit is technically: called, " liquoring," of the different classes of teas is _ carried out. At first sight ib looked as if a tea meeting on a large scale was projected. Ranged along on a kind of counter at the side of the wall under the front windows were a number of cups anol saucers, interspersed here and there with small teapots. Eight or nine different) classes of teas, Mr Nelson explained, were tested at one time, first singly, each in one of the cups, and then as "the experienced palate of the taster decides upon which will probably blend together, these are placed in the teapots, and the in fusion of the whole tested. It may bo noted that in forming the variou^ blend^ of teas issued by the firm no less thaa forty-six different varieties of teas arq used. The tea grown in Fiji, to which r«» ference has already been made, ■ was pointed out by Mr Nelson. There are three varieties, two being small-leaved sorts interspersed with a highly-coloured,',, leaf, and the other a large black leaf. H©, also produced a large leaf tea, grown in. Northern China, which is in great reques?. at home, but not much used in the, colonies. From the apparatus which..' is displayed by Mr Nelson as in use when the operation of blending is being carried on, one cannot but forni the opinion that it is entitled to rank as an, art. A minute glass with sand is used to | time the infusion to a second as to when. ; to pour it out, and as to the boiling of thai water. The quantities, too, are weighed! with the scrupuloasness of a chemist com- i pounding a mixture, and for this purpose an exquisitely balanced pair of scales are I used. All this care willl be understood as being highly necessary when it is taken into account that one leaf two much or too little of a certain kind in a blend will make an entire difference of flavour. Mr Nelson quoted an instance in which,, through a mistake, a little over a pound of tea too much was sufficient to spoil an entire blending of 4 cwt. In the far. corner a copper kettle, heated by gas, supplies the requisite boiling water for the testing purposes. Altogether the sampling room is the best of its kind in the colony, being fitted with every con venience for carrying on the work, Passing from this portion of the building, the next visited was the packing room. The spicy aroma of tea greets one 'as the door opens, and gives a view of a busy IoC of men and lads all at work packing the various blends of teas in the paper bags, tins, and boxes, all beaiing the familiar "tra^ie mark of the pagoda which has been adopted by the firm. A lift to the upper floor is in this room, and also a door into the yard from which the carts are loaded. Whilst in this portion of the building, it may be noted that all the packing and mix ing of the teas ia done here. The branches throughout the colony are all supplied from the head warehouse in. Christchurch, which ensures a similarity of quality in all cases. Access to the firsb floor is gained by a wide staircase, which , is used both as a free store and for the machinery used in mixing the various teas. The first machine calling for notice is a steel cutting machine, something like £ chaff cutter on an extended scale, having steel knives set at an angle. This is used for cutting the leaf to a regular size. Close : by is the mixer, which somewhat resembles the cutter in shape, but instead of the knives set at angles it has fan-shaped pro . jections, ensuing a complete mixing of the teas ; with'this a ton of tea per hour can be turned out at a push. There is a smaller one close by, through which three-quarters of a ton can be passed in the same time. The tea, after being mixed, is turned into bins, each holding 14cwt. and labelled with the distinct names of the various blends. In these bins the tea is allowed to stand until, as Mr Nelson says, it ripens and' the various descriptions of tea become 3 thoroughly blended into ope harmonious. 3 flavour. The upper floor of all in the i warehouse is used as a bpnded store. 5 Here the stock, at this season being low, is stored, about 138 tons of tea. A locker's office is provided, and there is ample space for storage. The amount of busi " ness done by the firm may be under -3 stood when it is stated that thay pay ;, one-seventh of the whole duty on tea - in New Zealand. The fittings of their '* shops in Christchurch and Auckland and - Wellington, &c, are exceedingly costly, ? and quite unique in the matter of decora * tions as to vases, etc. We have often heard r of the care which various tenors have to '" take of their voices, and the self-denial in. the way of food/ etc., which they have to 5 f exercise. This was forcibly brought to if one's mind when Mr Nelson spoke of the 13 forty-six different flavours of tea he has to. discriminate and duly apportion in the , course of his work. Altogether the ar "' rangements of the firm in their new pre mises are exceedingly complete, and in these - dull times it is refreshing to find that in »» creasing business warrants so large &£ , improvement.—(ApVT.) . ;
