SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1887.

Fot tho cause that iack3 assistance, | For the -wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that -we can do.

Tite fear that a year "will be lost ; before the Government take in j hand the question of revising the, tariff in the interests of local industry \ has caused an intense feeling of dis content among the industrial sections of the community. They feel that their need is an urgent one. Never in New Zealand has there been a period of depression so prolong xl. Skilled ' workmen . have been walking abou* fdle for weeks, and we have heard of I labour contracts being taken by capable carpenters at prices that will not yield them three shillings a day I wages. The return elicited by Mr ! Goldie showing what, the Government have spent on the unemployed during tho past year proves that Auckland's condition is not exceptional. On the | contrary, a much larger sum lias been spent in Canterbury and Otago than in Auckland in providing work for idle hands, and there are still some hundreds jof men in Government employ for this \ purpose. Now, the question must be repeated ■ with growing force until it is answered, "What is the remedy for this uu * wholesome state of things 1" Will . j retrenchment, of which the Govern ) menfc promise so heavy v dose, prove

a palliative 1 If so, it must be on the homoeopathic principle, for retrench ment is one of the main causes of the present dearth of employment. Ex penses curtailed in every direction, servants reduced, money locked up in the banks, confidence .shaken, markets glutted with imported goods, low prices of produce. These arc the palpable causes of the depression, and a certain remedy if it were possible to apply it —but one which is impossible now or disastrous .if possible — would be to launch another big loan and go in for lavish Government expenditure. That an exactly opposite mode of treat ment—a reduced Government ex penditure and general discharge of employees, will have the same effect as the policy above outlined, is not very apparent. It will doubtless ultimately work out to the public ad vantage by lessening the burdens upon the people and reducing the weight of a taxation which is doing not a little to strangle industrial enterprise. But meanwhile, the effect of Government retrenchment will-be to aggravate, and not relieve, the depression, and it must be accompanied by some comprehensive measure facilitating land settlement and stimulating our local indus tries. The Industrial Association has, we believe, taken steps to remind members who pledged themselves to use their exertions in this direction of their hustings promises ; but it has been deemed expedient to adopt other measures with the object of bringing the urgency of the case directly under the notice of Parlia ment, and a petition is now in course of signature, a copy of which lies at the oiiice of this paper. The petition sets forth :

"In the opinion of your petitioners the non-revision of the tariff during the pro sent session will bejrcfc an amount; of uncer tainty in commercial ami industrial circles that must cripple legitimate trade, and foster illegitimate speculations, and greatly intensify tin: existing depression. Your petitioners therefore pray that yon will be pleased to take into consideration and revise tiic Customs Tariff during the pre sent session of Parliament."

The petition has been drawn in general terms in order that all who be lieve that the tariff should be adjusted so as to assist the natural industries of the colony may sign it. Its reasonable ness and moderation must commend it to the public judgment, and if well signed, the petition will, no doubt, strengthen the hands of those members of the House who are really earnest in their endeavours to secure such changes in the tariff as will im mediately support the efforts of our manufacturers to employ colonial labour in competing for the supply of local requirements.

GOVERNMENT AID TO THE UNEMPLOYED.

While the Lord Mayor of London is appealing to public charity for the relief of the unemployed workmen in the great metropolis, it is instructive to be told that the New Zealand Go vernment last year spent no less than ;£1G,629 in relieving the necessities of the unemployed in our small com munity, besides providing several months' work for some hundreds of men who had been shut out of their ordinary avocations by the trade de : pression. The dread of encouraging " Socialistic tendencies " is the bogey that frightens English statesmen from recognising their duty towards the able-bodied applicants for "work or bread f but the Australasian Govern ments have all boldly faced the bogey, and have found it to be perfectly harm less—the working men very soon quit ting the Government relief works when a revival of trade takes place. \No violence is offered to the sentiment of sturdy independence that should charac terise every free people, and there is not the slightest danger of a permanent pauper class being created. Even with a depleted Treasury and heavy liabili ties to meet, our Government do not seek to reverse their policy towards the unemployed, but are rather applying the pruning knife where there is real danger of a " pauper " element extend ing—to the big-salaried sinecurists and do-nothing departments of the Govern ment establishment.

But it is important that the ex penditure on the unemployed should be equitable,-'and free from, every sus picion of jobbery. And in this con nection it is significant that nearly the whole of the £10,000 spent by our Government last year went to Canter bury and Otago—uofc a penny coming to Auckland. Dnnedin City Council very cleverly contrived to get a sub sidy of a fe\v thousands sterling from Government to help them to give street work to the unemployed ; Christ* church got a share too ; but Auckland City Council, though they gave work at street formatioifto a large number of men, had to bear the whole cost, and are now trying to saddle it upon the'ward in which the work was done. In. fairness the Government should have borne this. True, they grudg ingly granted railway passes to take men in search of work into the country, and they generously employed some men on'railway work, at which they had to toil up to the middle m water. These concessions, however, lasted only a short time, whereas in Canterbury there have been about _UU men on Government works up till quite recent! v. The lack of employment has been just as acutely felt in Auckland as elsewhere, and if the principle ot subsidising the local bodies is to bo recognised, this district' should not be robbed of its just share of relief. It the inquiries now being prosecuted m Wellington by the member for Auck land West should have no other eftect than that of exposing theviodusopercmU by .whichthe golden streamwasdivortcci to the- South, they will serve a very useful purpose.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

It is moretk suspected that Russian gold hasbeen spent on the recent strengthening«! the fortifications at Copenhagen au the Czar's visit to the Kiiig°of' Den mark, marked as it was by a studied slight to Kaiser Wilhelm, and p. longed ostensibly by an outbreak of measles in the Imperial, family, hai beyond doubt for its object the cement ing of a close alliance between Russia and Denmark. The warnow kin» waged through the Custora.l»ouses.iiil th ■ Press may develop into a terrife combat at any moment; ail the : prophets agree that it is certain to do .so sooner or later; but there is si : room to hope that more humana counsels will prevail. And while sop people feel inclined to invu-^h jfM ian inflammatory Presis for cicite, | prejudices and stirring up'ijatemationi I i hatreds, it must not be forgotten Ikt 1 there is another aspect of the mater, ! Wordy ebullitions through the Press may often prevent a more serious eruption of animosity, and it might l» demonstrated that tjie long maini* ance of peace in Europe has been dm to the influence of the newspapers, not only in disseminating information with accuracy and rapidity, but in providing a safety-valve for the escape of pent-up ! animosities, which formerly only found i vent on the battlefield.

In our leader last night, in referring to the gold obtained from the Marfcl*^ tended and other mines, the to* Ohinemuri was inadvertently, substituted for Wailii. Gold, to a much larger wins than £30,000 has of course been obtiined from the whole of the mines mj Ohinemuri district, and the,Wgtoj not the Martha, was the chief gold pro ducer.
