There was a large muster at the Durham Yards on Friday, but consisting principally of those of an inferior stamp ; competition was brisk for the strangers, but there remained an un satisfied demand for horses of a good stamp. We quote : Hacks, from £6 10s to £13 18s ; light harness horses, from £7 10s to £11 15s; spring cart horses, £8 10s to £14. Wool, hides, skins, and tallow.

The Newmarket yards were fairly well filled on Tuesday, and there was a large muster at Pukekohe on Wednesday. Store stock of all descrip tions continued at low values, and, with the exception of for really first-class dairy cows, prices were in favour of the purchaser. Prime fat oxen, light weights, fully main tained the previous weeks values, but other descriptions barely did so. We quote: Calves, from 7s Ocl to 20s ; yearlings, from 163 to 25s ; eighten-month-old steers, £1 to £1 12s 6d ; grown steers, £1 16s to £2 10s ; dry cows, from £1 2s 6d to £2 7s 6d ; dairy cows, from £4 to £G 5s ; fat steers, from £5 5s to £8 12s 6d ; cows, from £4 to £4 15s.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1887.

The Protectionists .in the House are wisely wary of" committing themselves unreservedly to support of the present Government. Although the lines be tween Free Traders and those wlio favour tariff assistance to local industry in some form are not clearly drawn, it is pretty certain that there is a majority in the House in favour of a readjustment of the tariff with the object of assisting and building up localmanufactures. The promise made in the Governor's Speech that attention will be given to this im portant matter during th| ? jjecess was neither explicit nor satisfactory. How ever, it was probably as far as we could expect the Government to go at that early stage of the Ministerial existence—composed as their,party is of Free Traders and Protectionists, The political prophets' at Weillington inform us tbat there are to be rep alter ations made in the. 3New Zealand Cus toms tariff during the presents-session of Parliament. If this means that the Free Traders and Protectionists-in the new Ministry have made such negative resolution the basis'upon which they have agreed to work together, it is deeply to be deplored j andiithoste the only terms upon which the Minis terial party can be got to hold together, it is certainly foredoomed to speedy disintegration. AH compromises aye

unsatisfactory tin the very nature of things; but a compromise which ignores one of the most Crying necfc sities of the colony at the present time, and deliberately denies a readjustment of tariffs that would secure the starting of a number of industries in our midst, is certain to provoke most determined' resistance. A. telegram early in the week, however, conveyed the assurance that this provisional determination had been' come to in order to tide over the pre sent session, and allow Minietere to devote their undivided attention to the more immediate question of retrench-, ment, and the difficult task of making both ends meet without imposing ad ditional taxation. Jf the Government successfully grapple with these .'pro blems during the brief session upon which they have entered, they will do well they must not lose sight of the other important duties which they are expected to fulfil, nor must they bind themselves to adhere religiously to the present tariff. Even in the short time at their disposal "beneficial and urgently-needed changes might be made. Still it is only fair that they should have a chance of settling down and showing the country what they can do. Not more than five or six months should elapse between the close of the present session and the opening of. the next one, and if a practical Commission ■> is : appointed to inquire into the subject during the recess, they ought to have collected such a mass of authoritative information as will enable the Govern ment to bring down matured proposals affording substantial support to all industries which . give. promise of

All the nations of the earth are adopting protective doctrines, and while that movement goes on it is simply suicidal for New Zealand to raise revenue by a happy-go-lucky system of ad valorem duties, without reference to the fostering of native industries and the protection of our artisan population against cheap com petition.* In European countries the industrial war which is.being carried on by means of Custom houses and bounties is waged with a bitterness that may provoke actual hostilities. Germany is sore because, Russia k : shutting out her iron and other manu factures; but .Russia's action is none the less patriotic. France is also making a determined effort to protect herself against a peaceful German in vasion, while she is declaring her readiness to recover the lost provinces by armed force. A bill that was in troduced in the Chamber of Deputies some months ago provides that Only French coal shall be used for the navy, and only French oats for the army, and in general that nothing of foreign : growth or production shall be bought for public use except such articles as are not produced in France. Another proposes a tax on foreign Yrorkjaenj but these measures, although bearing on all foreigners Alike,. appear to be specially levelled at Germans. Bel gium, although she is a busy hive of industrial activity, has been constrained to follow the general example, and in troduce protective tariff's, and by sheer force of competition England will be compelled to do the saihe.s The people of the United States are beginning to take alarm at the threatened closing of the ports of the world to their produce ; only Engiish jnen, with their dogged resistance to change of any kind, refuse to admit tins necessity for protective tariffs, which should pave the way for the fouatJations of international trade being laid in reciprocity, and the superstructure being held together by the cemerit of mutual interest. - ■•'■■• ■''■ -' ■■■■ ; '; : ■'•'-■ '" '' '-■ ''■'•"- ' ! -■:-■' "'• '■'"■■' ''"

OUR LUNATIC ASYLUM.

In yesterday's Issue we published Mr! F. G. EwingtoriVreportof the quarterly official visit to the Asyhv.n on Wednes day, and we doubt not it "was great interest, not only by those wk have relatives and friendss in the insti tution, but by many taxpayers,, "who really have to pay the cost o%th* Asylum. Probably only a few of th» general public realise how deeplythejr; are concerned in local administration, but there is no doubt that if they had to pay a direct, instead of an indirect tax, for maintaining the Gaol, Asylum, Hospital, Belief Office, and other local public institutions, they would take a mnch more creditable and intelligent interest in them. Some day they-will, but not until, as Mr Ewington says in his report, " the people have been squeezed almost to death'with:taxa tion."' He shows that already lunacy is costing the colony £1,000 per week, and that it is increasing at an alarming pace. We are glad that everything possible appears to be done to utilise the labour of patients who are capable of work, and hope that efficient means are taken to compel those who can afford it to maintain their relatives in the Asylum. We are sorry, however, to learn that on Dr. Cromonini has been cast the labour and responsibility of collecting tenance money from relatives. Ihere are many questious Of interest m the report, but space will allow of our touching upon only one at preseni Unfortunate lunatics who are sent to the Asylum should not now, as in olden times, be incarcerated merely as prisoners; they are sent there tor remedial mental treatment. .Itw-npw generally recognised that insanity is a disease, and in a great many cases amenable to proper treatment,^ ustas patients , are sent to for physical, treatment. Taipayers who maintain the .asylums,, ana, those who pay for the care of- insane relatives, have a right.to .e x P«f .$£ adequate and skilful means,shall be used to cure the patients. Medical superintendents are appointed -v> asylums for that rery *U^
