THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

ADDRESS BY SIRG. GREY

Sir Geo. Greyvif ttidilf opened the'poW tical campaign last night by deliyefing' aW address in the City Hall nominally designed for his constituents of City East,; But really intended for the electors at large. 'The meeting, like all such gatherings of the people to hear "bhe old man eloquent," ! assumed the form of an ovation. As usual, i too, the hall was crowded. At twenty ' minutes past seven the doors were thrown open, and in a very short space-of time thereafter the whole of the stall seats were occupied. The dress circle seats also filled ! up rapidly, bhe ladies availing themselves to the full of bheir customary privilege ot seats reserved for themselves and male escorbs. Fully two-thirds of the dress circle audience were of the fair sex. The arrivals. of the other sex who turned up after IAo had perforce to file into the pit, which in due time became rather more than half full. Amongst those present upon the platform were Messrs W. F. Buckland, W. P. Moat,, B. Monk, Thos. Peacock, and T. Thompson, ,M.H.R.'s;' Rev's. J. S. Hill, C. M. Nelson, anclD. Bruce; Professors Posnett, Brown, and Thomas ; Drs. Teiinenf and Leger Erson ; Inspector Thompson ; Majors Dane 'and Jackson; and Messrs S.. Vaile, J. Lundon, Tait, W. J. Speight, J.'Buchanan, J. Pye, A. McArthtir, T. W. Leys, . J. W. Can-, D.

I .Precisely at 8 o'clock Sir George Grey (•arrived-incompany with Mr Geoi-geEraser, ? and was received witn loud applause,, the I Vast audience standing until the former > gentleman hacj taken his seat. On the motion of Mr John Mason, se conded by'Mr Thos.*Cole, Mr Geo. Fraser (President of the Industrial Association) was called to the chair.' _ { The Chairman opened the proceedings by ! . briefly reminding the electors that they had been, called together to hear from * their *' old and. esteemed friend " Sir George his Views upon the political situation, and he had -no' doubt-that the address would be full of valuable .suggestions. The Chair man theri read the advertisement convening the meeting,: and concluded by calling lipon--the- speaker of the. evening for his speech. . ; :'. .:,. ' Ijatrofluctory. i Sir George Grey, on rising to address the 'audience, was'received with prolonged and enthusiastic ' applause. HJe said, he felt thab evening if^he were a general re ;» viewing an : army—(applause-)-;—about to go into warfare",""and warfare for the rights j' 'and honour.,, of. their .couutry. : (Hear, hear.).. As . he looked "round him, he "Eaw*how- 'numerous, that army was, | fand,his.heart.was gladdened, and he.looked j^ fto see who they •were," and'all around liiin [lie saw faces he had known for many years. j With Such forces to aid one, even in these I rtimes of disti-ess and trouble, .they should [fight a battle'that would drag New Zealand joutof her difficulties, and plant her again ' fupon a path of prosperity. First, let him jcall their attention to this—that in [ Sail nations great, changes take place, ['. that they lived for a time upon a certain set'of principles and accepted them as'suff 1 cienb for all emergencies, bub at last the; became played out, and something- fresh and new had to be done. . They had seen the British Parliament quite unable to Contend against the masses of legislation it had to meet; and British statesmen stand ing aghast because they knew not whati to tlb, except that they must make some change.' • The changes in an old, country \vere,npb necessarily so rapid dr so complete hs the changes in a new country, and ib was the latter that mainly concerned us. They would see, therefore, that in these respects .there was no strict analogy between an old country and a new,-and'he spoke that night i o the inhabitants of d new country; They xaust set aside all prejudices from their xainds., ■" '. • '. ■ ;:;i' , ■ ' " '^ A Review. ''' Let him first-refer to the history of New Zealand in its colonisation and expenditure. ■ A; shorb time agp^New Zealand was almost Without a European population; and not only this, but there was also a large native k population, partlyhpstileandpartly friendly, r Those who were friendly were led by chiefs of thesutmost nobility of character. | JEt had been'fou'nd advisable to do as CaJsar i ,had done in and Gaul in order, to overcome the hostile tribes, and we,;like t .him, were aided . by the friendly native f. rtribes, who rendered us most valuable assistance. The country • being , restored : !to peacejgfor a long period of time, f !the pedpe , no: doubt enjoyed that peace, and the Government was able to turn its attention to colonisation and public i works; In Great Britain extraordinary I . theories prevailed oh the subject of coloni : cation.' The idea was this—that British f Bocietiesweretobe planted in a new country, [ and that the land regulations would be such that capitalists could obtain the waste lapds of bhe colony, and bhat' such a price should be placed on the land bhat the artisans and labourers would be enabled to rise from the positions they held iriv Great Britain. That was called colonisation.. ,The jninds of men were animated -with.' the { desire to get vast tracts of Jand, and those | Who held this desire were supported by great influences in England, and by ■ considerable influence here," and : all who recollected those days would bear, him out when he stated ■ that his . life, was one continual ■ toil and'anxiety in resisting them. One man actually claimed nearly ' the whole of I the Middle Island (laughter), aud. he was | made a baron on account of .'his great 1 claims. (L'augMer.) He referred'to sb^e \ body who was sometimes here 'and some'; \ 'times away, and who belonged to a foreigTi : There were many others too who fought for that .to which : they were-hot entitled..: Then land was sold in' large * quantities, and the money was applied: in bringing out immi ! grants'and carrying; pn -public works; and gradually, 'as, the population in creased,' money .became more plenbi ', fulj and a desire was created in men's j minds to spend large sums of money in their j, bwndistricts. Thatlasted fdracertainperiod I of time, and then it was 'found'impossible I to raise funds from .that source. I This. would be within the recollection of ;; snany who were on the platform. Now, t * the fact of the matter was «that I they owed the New Zealand Company I no part of that money, and if all the corres j pondenpe between himself and tile Goveyn i ment were'placed before them' they would | be satisfied that this was so;; Wh'en lie' (Sir, George Grey) was called upon to'hand IJbver the money' on the, authoriby of an Act of [ Parliament giving the Company a' right to [ the money, he refused to do it'(applause) | because he did not 'think' if was tight/ to I do' so. (Rehewed- applause.), .■• This,s;^ I course,<lbreated' a cbnsiderable disturbance^ I bub almost immediately afterwards it-,was j determined that he was right in principle, i iftnd that'no portion of that-debb,shQuld I have been charged to rest upon' us, so/

that^ Virtually'the. pebble gave, up their birthright. Thus there came a time, ■when large sumSjOf,. public money,were ex pended he.re and there, arid'everyone looked to the public purse, to make good..almost everything that they required. The natural, end of this was that the land funds soon became exhausted and disappeared, until; afc the present moment, he believed the land fund was hardly sufficient to pay fcbe expenses of the Surveying Department and the charges, made upon.it,; by the Land Department generally. Then how was. this to be satisfied? No. Ministry could hold office unless they could satisfy this demand. The next birbtirighfc , they sold was that of having a legislature for theni selves, by consenting to give up their provinces. (Hear,-hear, j And what was, the bribe held out ? It.was this. Ministers said, " Give your provinces up and we will substantial substitutes that will last for ever," and they were believed, although he (Sir George Grey) had pointed out that, the people would be impoverished by rates and taxes. Notwithstanding this, they sank from the bright position they had occupied. Abolition of the Provinces, ,; Next money was required-to satisfy the craving for gold that every little local body, had, and there was accumulated a vast debt .that now oppressed them, and people at Home,' because of its magnitude. They !had cut away this squrce of acquiring ■money, and their supposed secur ity had vanished into thin air. Any' man that said they "Were still there was only using electioneering terms meant to gain an end.. He recalled a curious incident bearing'on thafc subject. They probably knew that if a member ,bf Parliament said Something, ofionsiva to another member a motion was made that the words be taken down. .They were taken down and read to the member by the Speaker, who asked if these were the words he used*. If the member said they were, he was called upon to withdraw them, and if he refused he was compelled to retire from the House for a time until it was decided what should be done with him. He had spoken as he said now in the House. He stated that bribes had been given to do away with the provinces. (Applause.) Up jumped the Minister, and moved that the words be taken down, and he was marched out of the House. (Laughter.) Great confusion pre vailed, and nearly two hours were occupied with the House in determining what should be done with him (renewed laughter); and then he was: called in, and asked what he. had to say in explanation o.f the:terms used. He was asked if he had stated' that bribes had been offered to procure the abolition of the provinces- He replied: " Yes, sir ; but you did not allow me to finish the sentence. (Laughter).i I was going to say by the promises of subsidies to local bodies." (Laughter.) In that there is nothing unparliamentary, and they were good enough to say that he had made that up whilst he was 'outside." (Laughter.) He did not originaljy mean it, but he said, " Look at the context," and when that was done it was found that he was right. Well, he did not know what could have put such a thought into the, Minister's head, but the Minister certainly did believe that he (Sir George) meant it in another sense. Reduction of Members. Well, now, the Government had brought the colony into its present position in some degree through trying" to satisfy local bodies. And Tie asked .them, to bear this in mind, because *it would' be seen to be an important pomt1 in''^reference to what he should say afterwards : that we had a larger pf members in- New Zealand proportionately to inhabitants/ than any other colony.7(Hear,. hear, and ap plause.) He forgot the precise proportion, but he believed that it would be so large that some colonies had not half the same number of members in proportion to popula tion. " If England had"the same proportion she would have nearly 60,000 members in stead of 600. (Applause.) Well.now.letthem weigh this point for a "moment,' and'-they would see the jnore members they had the smaller would be the districts. Each mem ber would thus be answerable to a small constituency, who would be naturally in fluenced by merely local views. (Hear, hear.) And nearly all those members would devote their energies to the furthers ance of small works. Consequently the safety of the whole community might be famed or lost by -the •expenditure- of 10,000 or £20,000 in every dis trict. . Jfatrarally ~".' their", own local views and sentiinenls'would lead members of such districts astray upon such subjects. There fore, the greater number of members there were, the greater the number of claims to be satisfied by Ministers-hoping to keep a majority-in the House. '(Applause.) Now, they would be told as an to what ho said, "This small House is an admirable thing in itself. It is more difficult to pur chase the votes of a large Hous,e than the votes of a small House." When he said " purchase," he,,did not mean money paid down or anything of that sort. But a mem ber would say> " I oannot face my constitu ency again unless such a v thing.is done. 1 6hall have no chance with -them, >? and Ministers of course were naturally anxious to conciliate such' members. They did so by putting votes on ~ the estimates for expenditure in those members' districts. They should.not.blanietJie meinber,fQr very likely he believed that unless his constir tuentsigot what the*y wapted *he! world would fall to pieces. Therefore the Govern ment in office had an immense number of applicants to gratify. But supposing there Avere only one member for every two or three of the present constituencies it was patent that no Ministry could do three jobs for the one man (laughter,) and lie believed thab not -half the present votes would-be required if we had only 50 members. Consequently he asked them nob to let their minds be, biassed by the belief that the more members they had the more'difficult it was to put influence on the House by means oi.publip .works. On. the, contrary, he believed that the more members they bad, so much the more money was spent upon public works that were little wanted. The Present Crisis. Now he had told them that what we, had come to in the present crisis of the colony was this : We all had appetites so whetted by the constant receipt of public moneys by public' bodies that we had" come to think that money could flow in upon us almost like water — upon applica tion. The™ money had to be pbtained from distant sources, and now these sources were beginning to dry up, for he was informed both by persons in the old country, and! by residents in the colony who received letters from friends in England that we had nearly reached the limit of our tether, and that we could not go much, further. In the meantime we were pressed down by a monstrous debt and.a taxation which nope of us, could" stand. (Loud applause.) He did nob believe that there was a single person; among that audience ; wh.o;did nob feel that the present taxation was more than he could justly bear. Well now, what were we to do?; ; ; : .;: : \.\> ': ' . r, An Absolute Change Needed. ■. Welhadcome to one of those, crises in our history: when another change must be made—an absolute charige. TApplause.) And hor was it to bo maae ? We had at theipresont moment one of the most i mag nificent platforms or foundations con-' structed upon which a great nation could be built up. No people, had had a greater opportunity before them pfj at. once .com mencing or continuing "' the work of -building • up. this.- young —- nation pon foundations of ,the firmest kin,d —£ucli 'as 1 none, ue in the bid days had to build upon. 'We had only to do this well and wisely, and ere many months were passed—certainly before -two or three years were overW?few 'Zealand \v6uld!'be again^One of'tljraosf pVospWous countries i iui: tnowpefld (applause), and with a

-prosperity before it which could never again hV thought be assailed by depression, discomfiture, distress, such as we had to encounter now. Just think for one moment. He had told them thab in "all countries there were circumstances, which, rendered, a great change-difficult of accomplishment. Now, one of the great factors in our early :.qoloni* sation was this, and for part of it he Was responsible, What we had to deal with was that we had fc^o.islands surrounded by ma&njficent harbpurs-more, he believed, than any other country in the world. Great tracts of land attached to each of these har boursY tti thepne island iye had a lai'ge native population who were then continually inter" 1 fering with the occupation of the country by settlers.and who would part on no terms with their vast lands for the settlers to go upon. Theyhada perfect right to pursue that line of, conduct. They were following their instincts for what they thought to be their best interests. ' In the South, at the same time, we had the Middle Island fri'fcb. the native' title extinguished over nearly the whole of •. it—a magnificent jountry, open to,the .uninterrupted sottle nent of a European, populasion. He (bh c beaker) thought in those days that some portion of the. etreanl of . dolonisafcion should beidirected, to the Middle Island, for he helipved thab if we in the North Island ever got into difficulties, it was desirable to have close at hand a population more rapidly advancing than ourselves, because working upon uninterrupted lines of settlement.' Ahd he believed too' that if .the. North Island were .filled up too speedily,' native wars would be imminent, iuid the progress .of everybody and every body WO.Uld be interrupted. Consequent v, those great settlements in the Middle I sland were founded, and attained a de cree of prosperity of which we all know. Very well. Loqkab.bho North Island: for p, moment, and her great, cities. Here we have. Auokland and Wellington, with ■Napier also springing up into great impor tance, and other places rising. In the South Island we had Christchuroh, Timaru.Oama ru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. There'thoy were with a mass of population capable of manufacturing everything that man re-, quires, and great stores—shops of the finest kindfr-establighed such as we saw in Auckland. And yet we found there was nob sufficient trade for anyone to do—not sufficient goods to fill our own stores — not sufficient customers for our shops. And yet all these might have advanta geous customers if we could bub fill the country properly. Ho asked them to reflect upon that. Then we had great railroads penetrating the country in .all directions, abundance of .great roads, and the finest coastal lines of steamers bo be met with anywhere. (Loud applause.) And yeb who had wo to travol on. onr railroads ? What population to .cultivate bhe country with ? What people thronging into these fertile islands bo enjoy their great advantages? Between the great cities of the South Island mighb bo found vast plains wan dered over by a few sheep. No peoplo the,re,pnJy a, few shepherds distant from one another, and scattered over a largo area, serving masters who in England-were spend ing large sums of money drawn from the country. No small homesteads in every direction—railways thirsting, so to speak, to be made valuable for the uses they Bhould pubjserve - roads in every direction, and the finest school system in the world, as it was now admitted to be. (Load-applause). That was our case. He had lately received a letter from England from one of Mr Gladstone's, Ministry who .had been investigating' educational systems, and he thought that of New Zealand was the beat he had ever, seen (Renewed applause.) ■ All these appliances had been provided for a great popple to utilise. A vast foundation had been made to receive the noblest palaces—if he were permitted to resort to imagery—and it was our d uty to go on building upon those foundations. Thab was what he wanted that night to rouse them up ~to .do. ■ Bub bhey would say ''How is bins to be done?" How was it to be done ! Why, there were a hundred minds near him that night who could do It. They would find' some difficulty, of jcour.se/, becauee things were, different now to what they were in the old times. In the early days of colonisation, when.these diifi-, cultieS arose, the population was small, and depended greatly upon Great Britain, and every single man~who was sent oub to fpvernua would dp it all uninterruptedly, howing that he was riot to be thwarted by' any one man or "by any three or four men saying, r '* Your plans shall nob go on until you .make & change in themj" and tjjen getting, them so altered that* what 'Was done turned out to be weak and confused. And the larger' our Parliament was the greater would our difficulty be. (Applause.)..-; Tha he was sure of. Well, now thab was bhe .machinery we had to work with. That was now the machinery of responsiblo. governmerit. It was literally a Committee chosen byour-Parliamentand it was with this machinery we had to work, and he believed, as he would presently show, that a reduc tion of .the'number, of oui l members Was one' of the first and principaly'steps we should, take. Let them firstbriefly glance ab bhe plan he wanted to get at. There was the rediie tion of expenditure; ■ They were all agreed that bhab was desirable. There Was reduc tion of -taxation consequent on the reduction of expenditure, r , and that he would take as the main thingj after that the settle riient~bf ~the~people on'"the" lands' of the colony. . . .;'■' A Might}' Skeleton. ! .He. had, sh,own them a mighty skeleton, ;arid not a skeleton of bones alone. They had tha lands, bhe: railways, bhe jfiverS, bhe lakes, and the -fertile • plains — all: that was wanted in a great, 'grand,, and gigantic skeleton. Then, they had the pulses; in the cities, and the arteries and veins to conduct the blood in this great ;B-keleboh. :i Now, bhey wanted the1 flesh jand blood to vivify this body which they wished tocall into existence, and in order to: attain, this result they must put the brains, arid the intellect upon the land.. ' , ' Land Acquisition Bill. ! For three years-he had laid before Parlia ment a bill dealing with the settlement of land,, and he had implored the House to let lit, come forward, for discussion. Three : years had the bill been before the House, and three years had he been prevented from getting ; it - ■ considered. This year the very day the bill was to be brought''upV in the House, the contest with bhe Government commenced, and away ■ they ; fl,ew.- Last year, he had his papers be fore him, and wibh his hearb bhrPbbing.with anxiety, he was all ready to. go on <■ with the . bill. And bhen, up rose l bhe Pre mier, "who said the Governor was giving a great ball, and many were anxious to go ; and .he moved the :adjournment of the House. The motion wascarried by the force of the Government, and the. bill was thrown to,the'four winds, and he tyas heart-broken. (Cries of " Shame"). Th,en. bhe Premier said he was querulous, and promised if he would name.a day, he would put bhe bill on bh© orAar paper for bhat day, so that it -w-ould come on. -He was anxious aboub his bill, and consenbing, pointed oub Wednesday. Bub on the day arevious to this, up rose bhe Premier again, and said thab bhey were so anxious about the Government business that they had to take thafc day, and so the bill wenb to the winds again;' And the firsti session bhe same thing happened.: . ''~', . ~ ■;!:■■ rffiV/ oWe o tß oftnoßm, v r I • Now, whab was bhe. purport of thabibilj,? It -wenbitQ the extent of buying back the lands of settlers. That should be done'j and if these* people Would npt ultimately sell,' the lan/1 might. be taken frdin, them fi^d., they could be paid in gash ■pi'jii'bprids.' It was, proper that v^hen" an estate was fpuvchased, ib should, be di

,vided into small forms suited for valuta accMdirig;fcq habure of soil, and nearness, of .market. Ana ibhelsum total should be the sum Wl^ for [the; putchase-of the ™>™Wl Wed thjitany man, if eligible M ° f capital or resources-that was, bhabbeing cap able 6f Wofk/orbeidg oldj if hecouldenvployv a man to-work for him-then be should,get hiafarnv : A'il that was for pur chase Pioney ® BRPS3??u' ,lu^f C 7t interest' be paid on. the Vftltie 6f the Arm. There was' no increasmg of rent lender that system, and nothing bub ..five-per cent, for ever. Jb was a freehold to alUhtenbsand purposes, .buc with certain aid vantages. Farmer* Irom England. ■ And under that system, he could have gone to England for bhi'ee or four months if they could have spared hie services (a voice: We can'b),. and could have gob hundreds and thousands of farmers to take up land. (A voice: Where istheJanoV? That was a general-outline, and he SUM believed that this could be done, and that, if allowed, the principle could be applied to native as well as private land. The natives were willing to take the rents in this way. If what he had sketched oub were done, three or four thousand of English farmers might soon be .placed on the" land with capital in their pockets with which to work it. Now, we look round bo raise money with which to build some great post-office that would be sutn oienbfor our requirements fifty orelxty years Hence, and which of good m small degree. But' if wo had the settlers with the mofieyin their ppckets, bo work the land, for they would haye nothing fco pay for it beyond tlie interest, these sums would make up what was required for works, YVllllO DDO settlors would at the same time be fertilising every part of the connbry. This would all give work to the mechanics and artisans amongst us, and would lead to the employ ment of labourers. • It would interfere with none, and would promote the interesbs and prosperity of all. That; was what he thought of the settlement of the .land, and lie hoped that he had made it-clear to them. He believed that if he had been: allowed to have brought that measure forward, three years ago it would have been carried, and it was the fear of this that had caused bhem to prevent him from getting it forward. Village Settlements. He would ask them to turn to that equally important point in the great question of the settlement of the land. The Government had devised a plan, and he warned the people riot to. be.deceived by it. Aβ far as ho knew, not one of the Auckland members had ever made any objection to the general question of the settlement.of bhe land. All were desirous that this should be carried out, and were prepared to assist in any good plan if alterations for the benefit of the people were made. Without exception, all wcro striving to get the settlement of bhe people on tho land. Bub what they objected bo was bhe wrong done in dealing wibh the land, and settling tho people on ib. In order to grasp his meaning, it would be necessary to take an extended view of the subject. They should dismiss Auckland and the district north of Auckland from their minds altogether, and look at the good of the colony as a whole. Now, what had been done by this Govern ment ? They had given 1 to capitalists in London: and some residents in Christchnrch no less than two million and a-half acres of land in freehold, and the conditions providcdbliat hereafter bhey were; to be paid tho price they demanded foif these lands whentho country had become prosperous,, or those English landlords were to let that land to tenants who might be rack-rented by their agents as they pleased. He struggled against tins great concession, and go also did others, who fought with him side by side. . He told them that the bill brought in by the Minister of Lands was to preserve labourers for these holders of large areas of land, and kqep labourers for ever, and thab plan disappeared. Bub he felt that the' plan for village settlements was lawful and injurious to our common interests and to the settlers there, injurious to the present generation and hurtful bo all goner abions to come, and as men they ought nofc to submit to it. He inferred from the reti cence of some members bhab they' would prefer to leave their c6nstituentfi in the dark as to thetrubh rabher than incur bhe unpleas antness of facing tho position and telling them of it. Bub ib was for him resolutely to tell them what it meant. He 68W iit : abated in one of our- evening papers that night bhab the Govern menb had ordered the cessation of village setblemenbs, and thab bhey had done that in deference to the feeling of Parliament. Now, not one of the Auckland mem bers had sought anything of the, kind, and he believed'it was an electioneer ing . trick against , good ,and honest men who, did,, their duty fearlessly and honestly' (cries, of "JName," abd "No," and enthusiastic cheers). If they fol lowed/out, whab had taken place,, they would see bebter whab this meant and would understand better what were the facts. Some L 70,000 or LBO.OOO of the pyibUp money was, taken to complete what had been done in reference to these Ib rausb be borne in mind thab they were nob told about this in the Financial \ Statement. If there was a debt of thab kind impending over bheiri, should not the Miniebry'stabe that such was the case, and before any vpte of wanb of confidence was proposed, tell them arid ask how it was- to be met ? They did not do so, and he for one did not know of it. (The speaker turned and ad dressing Mr Peacock said, "Did you?" Mr Peacock replied in the negative.) It was elicited ab lasb by a question at the close of the session. They could npb make provision, and hence bhe neces siby. The merabors were not' to blame , , 1 bub rather the Ministry ' Who """had spent the money '.without authority. Let them:look ab the Financial. Stabemenb and seeifiib was truthful.'Was ib righb'vyheh they found that such things were hidden from the people of New Zealand ? (Ap plaiise.) Those were points for their con sideration. (Applause.) : He; asked them if they had ever had a chance. When their cities were crowded wibh poor unemployed, advantage was taken of their condition to force upon them terms that nothing but theiv dire poverty would have; made them accepb. And then , thab very action < • was used as an election cry. He would illustrate' what he meant by an I old proverb — "A man with a full purse had many friends.'V (Laughter.) And when a ,■ Minister had LBO,OOO to spend he would also have friends. " If ib was the Minister's own money, well and good. (Applause.) Bub the money passed from their pocket, and, let them remember, that it had passed without their being let know anything about it. And would they be bribed that way ab au elecbion time? (Cries of " Yes" and " No.") Would they forgeb bheir duties as. men ? (Applause.) Never! He, for one, would nob. (Applause.) - ;: >" ..'..•'• Stock Jobbers. V Well, how were poor people breated ? He could explain to them now rich 6tock jobbers lived in splendour in Londpn— mon who had- made f6rtunes by selling colonial bonds to poor governesses and others who had saved a feyv pounds and wished to,invent, their money in sjqme safe se curity. Were they toraise'a race of labour era merely to keep these stock jobbers in their positions V Mind, he did nob say bhab .every unemployed man was.an iionesb one. He could nob help knowing bhat there were amongst the' uiieiin ployed maiiy who .were idle, isany who had. given ,>vay to, drink. But he'also knew-, that, there :others %yho, were deserving men. ;i And were to be subjected to suph conditions as were laid down under the YUlage. Settlements sysbem? .These conditions were !s}mpiy

Do not-continue to. suffer—every ebore keeps it; and the man who endures pain rather than utilise a ready relief is his own worst enemy, Wintry winds are keen and piercing, and a house -holdlinimenban absolute necessity. Many preparations are offered ab lower prices thah St. Jacobs Oil, but none are so effectual , or speedy in operation. Mr C. Wellington, of Townsville (Q.), used St.'Jacobs Oil tot Bore throat and rheumatic pains with great success, and considers ib one of tha best remedies ever put before the public. ; Mir Frank Stephens,- bbob and shoe im» porter and manufacturer, Auckland, N.Z., suffered for months from a bad knee. He tried numerous remedies, but St. Jacobs Oil was the only one which removed every trace of pain and cured him. .Maurice D. Benjamin, wholesale mer : chant of Brisbane, had some .'.doubts about 1 the p&wei'of Sb. Jacobs Oil to eradicate ' rheumatism,'bub after testing its efficaoy he honestly states that it has wonderful rheumatic healing qualities. ! Mr John Taylor, of the firm of Messrs ' M'Ewan and Co., of Melbourne, gratefully writes :—" You may make any uee you like of these foots. I have found St. Jacobs Oil to be a cure for lumbago and for tooth y. ache." I Mr 6. Colenmn, of Aucklend, N.Z.,had } his foot badly crushed. Sb Jacobs Oil re -3 moved all the pain and soreness in a fow J hours, and he now strongly recommends ! bhe use of bhe oil.
