Which, he asked, was the more useful, the man who tried to make a living on a section of land, or the man who loafed about the town and was supported by charitable aid ? The scheme probably was not the most perfect one that had been initiated, and he thought that the emit rent scheme which Sir George Grey attempted to introduce was considered by jnany to be a much more perfect scheme. At all events, there could be no question about this, that it was more favourable to the settlers than the Vil lage Settlement scheme. (Applause.) He said by all means let ns have the more perfect scheme, because the settlement U the land could not possibly stop; it must go on in one way or another. To his mind it would pay the colony to offer free grants of land to persons coming herewith a little capital, and would work! them profitably. (A voice : " Why do you object; to Mr Ballance's scheme ?") He did not. They .should go on put ting settlers on the land, and when they got a better scheme the set tlers should be placed on the most /sroarable terms. He admitted that he m$ more favourable to Sir George Grey's bill, but that was not law, and there was also a clause in the latter which he wished could be left out. Its weak point was tin proposal to take land for settle ment at a percentage upon the property tax valuation, and they knew what happened not very long ago with regard to the purchase and sale of land at its pro perty tax valuation (A voice: " What about Sfcark's property?"), and he leared that unless that clause was amended, it would offer facilities to those who held ver» cc2siderable tracts of country to get rid of many of the bad bargains. (Applause.) Sir George Grey said that this clause could be amended in Gommittee, and if this was donethebill would have his most hearty sup port. But findingthat fault with the bill, and laving expressed himself so to Sir George, lie thought he ought also to tell them so. (A voice: "It's half-past nine ") Well, he had no idea that he could drag it out so long (cheers and cries of "Go on.") He thought he was improving as a speaker. He did not wish to detain them any longer, for he knew that many of them were burst ing to put questions to him, and he would endeavour to answer them as well ashecould A Summary. In conclusion, he would try to summarise the views to which he had given utterance. He had expressed himself in favour of rigid retrenchment and economy, no further in crease in the burdens of the people by ad ditional taxation unless absolutely neces sary, settlement of people on the land on most liberal terms, every fair and legiti mate assistance to local industries, substitution of a land and income tar for the property tax as soon as possible, preservation of our educational system as a purely free, secular and compul sory one, and on this latter subject he had scarcely finished what he wished to say. If it should be necessary to make a reduction, he hoped they would not touch primary education, but would make secondary edu cation as nearly as possible self-supporting. ■Neither was he favourable to the increase of school age to seven years. Who, he asked would be the people most af rectea by this change ? It would be the poorer classes. When the father was out ot work, the mother had often to go out chamng to earn a few shillings. If the "ttle ones were not at school, where would ™ey bo? Running about the streets. Mm if they did not learn much at school <ney would be imbibing a taste for know ledge, mid would be subject to discipline. ~? ™> country, the objection to the increase o schooi age was greater, because if the children were not allowed to go to school iw!T were seven yeail9i *hey were Sfi °n the farra bef°™ they had Xr ♦ T anyt!li »g- Kwe could not do Jtttout retrenchment in our education ex- SJ ure > he hoPed the primary system JSh Sf touehecl (A voice: "Take otht end e Tenv' r) ,Yes' take ifc off the Thomn? ¥h ? closi% p remarks, Mr iX, r,efeiT^ d t0 c app«>a C hing and d ? serious duty devolveS Si V t0» B " GVery dist^tinthe Wind e£ sh lld jud*e every ™»wlio thev ykn° ,- look a t fc hls antecedents, and if St-err m tP&l^. and bone«b Wan', grind r ed that he had no axe to his favour as T ,8 ™)ng recommendations in they coiilrl"toll -fln" men of discernment, g'Sd when 1 a T didate had an «c t« bS ??& "OW Colonial Hand," and *» gnnd aS f y ,thafc he had ™ axe <CS ] B d r 167 had better send him finStSN^f" the judges, and Jhe first njir i candlJ{ites' pledges. came S Jul| Uß YoKel in oilice.

wished to put questions to hand them in at once, and an unusually large number were handed in. In answer to questions, he said: (1) He was not in favour of local option unless compensation was paid. If compensation were allowed,ho believed in local option,be cause he thought ifc a right principle that the people should rule. (2) He believed in the extension of the franchise for licensing election*. (3) He was nob in favour of Bible-reading in the schools. (4) He would otter every fair and legitimate encourage ment to industries that are the natural products of the soil, and industries that can be successfully prosecuted here, bub nob bogus ones. (Cheers.) (5) As he should nob know how the elections would go, he could not pledge himself to any party. He Hoped to see a new party altogether, and if it came to the front and was composed ®f men who were prepared to cany out his views, he would act in accordance with the Liberal views he professed ; they would have his support. (Cheers.) (5) He had voted dead against the payment of the passages.of.members' wives to Wellington. ((5) He was not in favour of a State bank of issue and a Govei'itirenfc paper currency, instead of raising loans in the English market. (7) Ho had voted for dispensing with the services of tho Hineinoa. Xo member took more active steps than himself to have the Custom House contract carried out, (8) Question: After the L 14,000 had passed the estimates for the building of the Custom House, why did you not see that it was devoted ta tha purpose? The £14,000 would have employed a number of men in all trades. Mr Thompson replied that in the first place the vote was only L 12,000. Before leaving Wellington he had tried very hard to have the Custom-house pushed on, and he understood that 'this would be done when the architect had modified his plans. This had been done, but the work had not been carried out. He understood that Mr, Newson had his report returned after it had been withheld some months, and if this was so, he had a very fair claim on tho Government for interest. (B) Ho considered Vogcl one of the most able men in the House, bub at the same time he was not a uafe man to lead us at a time like this. (Hear, hear.) He waa accustomed to be rather extravagant in his ideas of the government of n country, and he i'or one would not trust him any lon ger. (Applause.) (10) Ho did nob know the provisions of the Shop Hours Bill. He thought that it should contain a local option clause, and should not be enforced except at the desire of two-thirds of the shop-keepers in any locality. (11) He did not support the re moval of Mount Eden Rifle Range. (12) He thought it advisable that there should be a maximum rate of interest fixed by law. In reply to further questions that fol lowed, Mr Thompson said he had voted for the second rending of the Female Suffrage Bill. He did not believe in a further reduction than LSO in the salaries of mem bers. He would support an Act to do away with the honorarium of the Upper House, and reduce the number of mem bers to 30. He opposed taxing the necessaries of life or increasing taxation. It was not desirable to reduce the number of members as low as 50. Between Ministers and whips it would be an easy thing to get at then. He did not think it would do to abolish the bankruptcy laws, and he did not know that they We're1 not sufficiently stringent; He would like to see the Upper House elective. He did not think it de sirable to have a large Chinese population, but it was fair that they should come to the ! colony under reasonable restrictions. ]\ir Akers—who is the Minister referred tom the papers who saved LLOOOa year and lived on his travelling allowance? Hz was not in the eoniiclence of any party, and could not answer. Mr J. M. McLachlan said he was very pleased at what he had heard from Mr Thompson, but he wished to ask him. why he took the full honorarium. (Cries of " Don't answer/) Mr Thompson said he was an Irishman, and sometimes answered a question by asking another. He would only ask — would Mr McLachan, if he had been in his place, have done the same. (Laughter.) Mr Leahy proceeded to move the first re solution, but was interrupted by Mr Mackay, who had a friend, beside him who wished to know Mr Thompson's opinion of the Eight Hours Bill. Mr Thompson : I voted in favour of it. (Cheers.) Vote of Thanks and Confidence. Mr Leahy moved a vote of thanks to Mr Thompson for his address and confidence in him as a fit and proper person to repre sent the electoral district of City North. Some disorder arose in the rear of the hall but it was suppressed by the audience in re sponse to an appeal from the Chairman. Mr Mason seconded the resolution, which was submitted and carried almost unani mously amidst; cheering. Only one hand was held up against the motion. Three cheers for Mr Thompson1 and three cheers for Sir George Grey were then given most enthusiastically. Railway Mismanagement; Mr Thompson said that.there was one very important matter which he had over looked so far. Complaints had been made throughoutthe conntryaboutthe state of our raihvay inanagement,and he wished now, in justice to an opponent of hia, that although he was personally unacquainted with tne principles of Mr Vaile's scheme, he was strongly in favour_ of it having a trial on one of the lines in the colony, and had advocated this in Wellington (applause). Mr Thompson then acknowledged the vote of thanks and confidence, and proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman,which was accorded by acclamation, and brought the meeting to' a close.
