THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1887.

Tor the cause that lacks assistance, Tor the vnong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that \re can do.

If Sir George Grey's object in last night's address was to refute those of his opponents who reiterate that he is not " a practical politician," his matter could not have been better chosen. The " inspired " article in the " Wa nganui Herald" gave him a capital text, and before he had done he ha(i pretty well riddled the Ministerial armour, as it was represented in that adroitly-worded manifesto. He also laid out a plainly-marked course for the electors to pursue in the approach ing elections. We believe that Sir George Grey faithfully interprets the feeling of the country when he says that neither of the existing parties represent the wishes or opinions of a majority of the electors, and that the present party lines must give place to new combinations in the next Parlia ment. In these circumstances, Sir George properly declared that the electors must see to it that, Irres pective of party considerations, they electgood men pledged to goodmeasures which they will force -upon any Minis try that may be placed in office. That this is the proper, indeed the only intelligent plan of action in the singu larly jumbled condition of public affairs that now prevails, we have repeatedly urged, and we hope to see in the next House such an infusion of new blood and new ideas, and such a conviction pervading all parties that retrenchment and encouragement to local industry are the national watchwords, that a change for the better must ensue. The Premier's visit to the South has taught him a les son already. In a letter to a friend, he has stated that there is not simply a cry for retrenchment in that part of the colony, but a perfect roar, and now that the country is at last convinced that ills which have been created by extravagance can only be cured by economy and self-help, we may cherish strong hope for the future. There is good reason to appre hend that the demand for tariff assis tance to local industry' may be made the pretext for increasing the ■ general burden of the taxpayers instead of covering the deficiency between re venue and expenditure byretrenchment. There was undoubtedly a strong incli nation among a large section of the Atkinson following in favour of increasing the duties on tea and sugar. These particular ar ticles afford" an easy and therefore very tempting expedient for extract ing money from the pockets of working men. Tea and sugar are necessaries of life to the masses of the people, and it is a very easy thing to raise a large revenue out of them. But as we showed when discussing the Go vernment tariff proposals, the existing duties on tea and sugar are already heavy enougb. They bear a larger percentage to the value of the commodity Hhan the ■••■ duties on any other'article in common use, and no increase ift their a»ount should be tolerated. Sir George Grey scored a point in his own favour as a practical politician -when he recalled the fact that to his Government the people owe considerable relief under ■these duties,and in nothing more clearly was the,shrewdness of the,Stout-Vogel Government- displayed than in their refusal to make tea and sugar subjects of additional taxation.:; Major Atkin son and his supporters should take warning'that the country is alive to the value of "a free breakfast table," although it is not averse to the Chancellor of the Exchequer lay ing his, hand heavily upon articles of luxury and utility which people can do

without, or which, our own manufac turers, thus aided,\vill a few years hence be in a position to supply. SVhen the resources of such articles for revenue purposes are exhausted it will be time enough to consider whether a,pros perous industrial population can afford to pay a little more oh their tea and ugar. . '', A pleasant incident of last night's meeting was Sir George Grey's kindly reference to Mr J. A. Tole, into whose constituency the new electoral boundaries have carried the old elector ate of Auckland East. For many years the political and personal relations of Sir George Grey and ; the mem ber for Eden were of the most intimate kind, and when an oppor tunity of attaining a position of dis tinction presented itself to his young friend and.protege, Sir George felt that he could not stand in the way of- Mr Tole's acceptance of a position which would give him a most valuable train ing for political life and public useful ness. The political differences between the yeteran statesman and the Govern ment with which Mr Tole becanie as sociated have steadily widened' since that time but it is gratifying to see that the old relations of personal, esteem and affection have not changed, and that Mr Tole still carries with him the good wishes and favour of his former leader, whom he has aided, and still aids, on every possible occasion in carrying through measures for the public advantage.

THE UNEMPLOYED DIFFICULTY IN ENGLAND.

It is interesting to find that in Eng land the question of dealing, with the able-bodied unemployed is "engaging quite as much attention as it is here. As distinguished from the State-aided emigration movement, another and more common-sense proposal was mooted at a public meeting recently, held in Liverpool, viz., a scheme of Home Colonisation; in other words, a plan to "place the people upon'the land." .... The scheme was proposed by the Key. Herbert V. Mills, and the central idea of it appears to be to ac quire land, and place settlers upon it in small communities under proper supervision; in fact, the scheme ap pears to combine the advantages of Sir George Grey's Acquisition of Lands Bill, and the Village Settle ment Scheme of the New Zealand Government, with the advantages of co-operation superadded: Formerlex periments in employing the able-bodied poor at industrial manufactures had' failed, because the goods produced were placed in direct competition with the products of higher priced "labour, and caused a public outcry, which drove the cheap goods out of the market, and therefore the philanthropists are driven back upon that source r/rf. all wealth; the land.: It does seem-ridiculous to advocate the wholesale expatriation of Englishmen so long as there are thou sands of acres of land at home going out of cultivation. It is said that in the south of England excellent land for village settlement purposes could be bought at £15 per acre. Even supposing that land in New Zealand could be got; free, it would cost nearly that amount before it could be brought into a high state of culti vation ; and it is poor political eco nomy that would pay for transporting men half round the world when land is at their own doors ready to yield abun dantly to the industrious husbandman; If 500 people could be settled on a large estate, it is computed that they might raise sufficient for their own maintenance, while tradesmen among them would get employment in pro viding manufactured : articles to their neighbours. As Mr, Tom Hughes, Q.C., pointed out, there would have to. be strict discipline maintained in the settlement, and plainly the idle and incompetent could have no standing ground in such'a community. In the, course of the meeting referred to, , Mr Mills gave some interesting : details of the successful employment of pauper labour in England and elsewhere. At Newcastle, by employing pauper labour, they built a new%ing to the workhouse at one-third the cost of the quotations- given by ordinary' 1 con tractors. They also tilled sixteen acres connected with the workhouse with such success that, after raising; :ill their, potatoes and cabbages, they paid over about L3OO towards the lessening of the rates. But his aptest illustration was from the European Continent. 'Last August he (Mr Mills) visited a colony in -Holland which had been established sixty years ago by a* philanthropist/ who took a dozen poor families, undertaking tb'give them bare maintenance at first till; they were, able to support themselves. To begin with, ; the land was exceedingly poor, but with industry and!with the' produce raised on the land consumed upon it, it had become exceedingly fertile, and now it supported 224.families of .free farmers, \\rhb supported ;j their aged ! relatives 'in/ addition to their families; and > besides -paid -<-£Vi to per annum each over to the. Philanthropic' Society. Those taken'into the, colony were kept in the position of labourers for two years on one of their model farms, and wdre then able to take farms of their own. As to the morals of the community, they were de scribed as singularly good, , and when men were .found the worse for drink ,a third time tlfey' were expelled. It is possible that New Zealand may. learn something from the3e old world experiences. At any rate, it will be instructive to wafchhow the scheme propounded at Liverpool will work; for there have been so many failures of co-operative and benevolent schemes of; the kind that any new basis for such operations deserves to be closely studied.
