THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mow- J. A. Tol« at Richmond

The Hon. J. A. Tole addressed the electors of Newton in the Richmond Road School room last evening. The building was crowded. Mr Young was voted to the chair. Mr Tole, in his opening remarks?, narrated to hia audience the stops taken by the Government two years ago, and also in the recent session, to increase the tariff with the object of protecting industries. The whole object of the defeat of the Go vernment was not that they had been ex travagant, but that the wealthy classes were determined that they should not bear their fair share of taxation. He read a list of large property -owners who were opposed to the Government, one of the number bein^ Mr Allen, who is opposing Sir Robert Stout at Dunetlin. The Govern ment declined to reduce the exemp tions in the property tax to suit the property classes, and preferred to teat : the feeling of the country on the question. He blamed the Opposition for the second session, because the Government might have retained office until after the general elections, which would have taken place in ordinary course, and the Government might then have resigned if it was the will of the people. He trusted that the electors would send men pledged to one side or the other, because the most dangerous men in the House were the independent men. Unless these representatives were pledged, he feared the effect would be another dis solution in six or seven months, with the whole of the expense over again. He be lieved the cry of retrenchment was a dodge raised only for electioneering purposes. There was no fixed rule for retrenchment in the post>, but the Government had taken the matter in hand, and effected re ductions and retrenchment in a manner that would be effective and permanent. He believed that the cry from the people for retrenchment was sincere, but that from the Opposition was not. He men tioned the fact that since his Govern ment took office the population of the colony had increased by fifty thousand people, necessitating increased services, and that involved an increase of staff' in certain departments. But notwithstand ing all that, he thought the Government had been able to c'Tect a considerable saving in the public expenditure. Besides that, an additional 300 miles of new railways had been opened, and the Minister of Works had not increased his stati' beyond the ap pointment of a few exi)erts and clerks at Ll2O per annum, and some cadets. Besides this, there had been a saving of L 13.000 in the railway expenditure. Mr Tole repeated the figures given ut previous meetings of the savings which the Government claimed to have effected in the various departments, and in their general expenditure, He held that in his own department he had effected a saving of L10,<502, and had reduced the number of officers by thirty. This was not all. The Government were continuing to retrench in every possible way, and hoped to present to Parliament next session a further .saving of something approachingLloo,o(Jo. Much good had been accomplished by Sir Robert Stoat's Civil Service Reform Bill, by which no one could come into the service, unless he were an expert, who didnotenteritasa cadet andby competition. These officers would have no prescriptive right either to pensions or retiring allow ances. Ho believed that this system would reduce the expenditure by one third of its former cost. It was absolutely impossible to reduce by L 300,000, and those people who advocated it wore only misleading the people. Ib could only be clone by reducing the education vote. Those gentleriKTßPWshn^telked of reducing the number of members were only talk ing, because members elected in a few weeks would be returned for three years, and besides that a reduction to tift> or sixty was impossible. The reduction of member? could only be done at tho closing of Parliament, or after a census. He had himself voted for a reduction to 71 members. He was quite satisfied to accept a reduction in the honorarium in times liko these. Eco- ; noiny could best be secured by self denial on the part of the electors in regard to con veniences to which they had been accus tomed. The taxation which had been !>ut on by his Government was L 50,000 ess than had been imposed in 1882, and therefore could not be considered as crushing. The deficiency in the revenue could only be met by a readjustment of taxation, which would bring in additional revenue and at the same time afford greater encouragement to our manufac tures. He quoted from a speech of Major Atkinson's delivered seven years ago, that borrowing could not stop suddenly without causing a crisis greater than any that had occurred in tho history of the colony, and that economy was necessary., That was precisely the policy the Govern ment was pursuing. He asserted that tho desire of the Government was to take the duties as far as possible off the necessaries of life, while those who opposed them sought to increase those duties. Their graduated : property tax was a step in the direction ef a land and income tax. He was a pro tectionist, aad regarded free trade as wholly inapplicable to New Zealand, unless we desired to see our youth unemployed or leaving our shored. He gave Mr Blair as his authority for the state ment that out of the six millions worth of goods wo imported annually, we could manufacture four millions' worth. Mr Tole went on to explain the efi'eet of the revised tariff' which the Government pro posed to introduce next session, and men tioned a number of articles which we im ported largely when we could profitably manufacture them . here, and utilise our labour. He predicted a struggle for the re-establishment of protection in Great Britain. He was perfectly astounded at the youngmeninthecommunityattackinghimon free trade principles which they had taken up parrot-like in tho excitement of the hour. —Mr Tole concluded amidst loud and prolonged applause. In reply to questions, the candidate said: He purposed to morrow going to the Gaol to inquire how prison labour com peted with or affected private enterprise in ■tone-breaking. He agreed with the report on Mr Vaile's scheme, and thought it might be a dangerous experiment, and the locality in which it was tried should bear the deficiency in the revenue. Direct taxation under the principles of political economy was supposed to be better than in <b»ct taxation. It would be quite possible fa» reduce the Promer's salary by LSGO. (Laughter.) He would support the Eight Hours Bill, and always advocated it. So far as the propriety of candidates asking elec tors for votes was concerned, ho would say that many people refused to give their votes because the candidates did not ask them. He thought LS,(J<JO and allowances for the Governor was little enough. Me thought wo should have an elective Go vernor; and pay him what we like. In reply to further questions, Mr Tole eaid he had taken action eight years ago in the same direction. He did not object to a reduction in the honorarium to LI GO. He did not care whether free passes were done away with. Ho did not think the passes were abused, but if his constituents wished it, he would vote for it. He did not think the work of tho country could be effected by live Ministers in- Btead of seven. He would not support tho reduction of Ministers' salaries to LBOO, and would not himself be a Minister ab LBOO a year. Minister? were only paid travelling expenses when actually engaged at public business. No members of the Legislature got special trains or steamers,

Ifc was only in extreme cases that these •were asked for by Ministers. These latter questions were put by Mr Field. Mr William Edgar moved and Mr Bust seconded a vote of thanks and confidence to Mr Tole, which wa3 carried. No amend ment was proposed.

The meeting concluded with cheers for Mr Tole.

AUCKLAND PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

The Auckland Philharmonic Society's con cert at St. James's Hall last evening was only favoured with a moderately good audience, the seats being only about half filled. The performance consisted of a cantata by W. H. Cumniings entitled "The Fairy Ring." The chorus included about fifty voices, and tho orchestra was well represented. Heir Schmitt wielded the baton, and the person ages in thecantata were as follows :—Fiorina (soprano), Miss Craig ; Gentilla (contralto), Miss Marson ; Percival (tenor), Mr Feiri day ; Fortunatus (baas), Mr H. Holloway. The orchestral introduction was well rendered, and the opening chorus, " Round About the Fain Ring," was given fairly well. The subsequent choruses, " Our Queen is Quite Content," and " Away, Away," were, however, much better ren dered, and were well received. The polo ist« acquitted themselves creditably, the best items being Miss Craig's sing ing of "In a Rosebud," Mr Holloway a " The Forge," and the duet " Why Should I Squander ?" by Miss Craig and Mr Ferri day. Miss Marson gave "Happy Fays" in pleasing style, and the quartette " Peace to the Dreamer " was very well rendered by Misses Craig and Marson and Men-srß Ferriday and Holloway. After an interval the second part opened with the glee "O'er the Hills Resound ing-," which was given in creditable style by the Society. Miss Buckland saug ",Oh, How Delightful," and also contributed a violin polo, "Sylvia," in which she ap peared to great advantage. An encore wa« demanded in each instance, and duly acknowledged. Mr Campbell sang " Neapolitone," and received merited ap plause, and Miss Walker wing " London Bridge " very nicely. This item was well received, and Miss Marson also came in for a round of applause for her singing of "Sylvia. Mrs Bartlett gave '■ Why Art Thou Sad?" in pleasing style, and was also loudly applauded. The performance concluded with the double quartette "-Vespers." which was a very creditable performance, and was received with marks of approval by the audience. The pianoforte accompaniments were played by Mis& Harding.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Price of Bread.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l beg to call the public attention to the following facts in reference to the price of bread and the recent rise. On Thurs day of last week (4 th) a petition was signed by the bakers ot Auckland pledging themselves to raise the price of the loaf to 3d for cash, and 3Jd delivered and booked. On Saturday,Cth,a public notice was issued, embodying the terms of the document signed. It is a well-known fact that one at least of the signatories to the petition is still selling bread at 2£d a loaf, thus under selling those who kept their word. This, to say the least of it, is a mean thing to do.and I hope in the interests of fair trade that those who have done this will refrai nfrom.it for the futurcy and carry out what they have plcdg<3<fc -themselves to do. .^ |.do not mention narnea at present, —I*am," &c, A Baker.

Mount Roskill Road.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.,—Will-you kindly allow me through the medium of your widely-circulated paper to urge upon the Mount Eden I load Board the necessity of a footpath oh the Mount Ros kill Road ? lam pure, and no reasonable man will pay me nay, that ifc is an absolute necessity. During the -winter months, more especially, the only footpath pedestrians have is the horse road, which is * ankle-deep in mud, and from which there is no escape. Just where the New North and Mount Roakill Roads meet there is needed very badly a crossing. The Road Board have no excuse for not providing" a footpath, be it but a narrow one. The Board have most shamefully neglected the ratepayers on the Mount Roskill Road. They aie now providing most of tho smaller roads with paths, while the principal road in the district is left out in the cold.—Yours, etc, A Rksiokxt.

Appointment of Teachers.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In a recent issue appeared the follow ing statement re the school embroglio at Thorndon :—" The manner of appointing teachers here (in Auckland district) has worked well." Will you kindly allow me to ask you, how has it "worked well?" During the past three years not a single appointment of any worth has been made upon professional merit, upon superiority of educational attainments, or upon any other ground whatever than pure, open, well known favouritism.

Now, no one would object to members of the Board of Education having favourites amongst the teachers, nor would anyone find fault with members acting " the friend " towards them, that is " acting the friend "at the member's own cost. But to act " the friend " not at their own cost, but at the cost of other teachers, is a very different matter.

It is,-and I think you will agree with me,—a reproach to the name of true friend ship, and reflects but little credit upon the members, or the teachers — the favourites, whom thoy seek to enrich un justly at the expense of other teachers who are destitute of such ft friendfe."

I could furnish you with examples of tho favouritism I advert to; but no one will doubt what I have written.—l am, etc., A Chajbman of School Committkb.'

Proposal to Increase Beer Duty.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —While political economists are cast ing about for articles of consumption upon which additional revenue could be raised without pressing unduly on the public, there is one taxable article that might fairly contribute a larger- quota to the maintenance of the public service than it does at present. I allude to beer. Let us look at tho matter from an ethical point of view. Firstly, then, beer is a lux ury, and it is a well-established principle of economics that luxuries should bear a much larger share of taxation than neces saries of life. Secondly, beer is an article produced by a minimum of labour, and the profits being large to the manufacturer,' it can bear more easily than another industry the weight of a substan tial taxation; and thirdly, the liquor traffic, of which the sale of beer is the largest com ponent part, is responsible for an enormous portion of our police, prison and magis terial expenditure. These three grounds, I hold, are unanswerable arguments in favour ot increased taxation on beer. But in dis cussing the imposition of a tax, its incidence must always be taken into consirlemtlrtii—

on whom will it fall, the producer or the consumer ? The monopoly that the brewers hare secured through becoming the posses sors of most of the hotels protects them against foreign competition, and « ib did Hot the Customs tariff conld easily be so regulated as to meet th© requirement, of the case. There are a few "free houses, which are generally conducted by the owneis of the freeholds and are con sequently the best appointed and most popular. The licensee of a free house can purchase hie beer cheaper than the licensee of a bound house, and this, ifc ap pears to me, would be a guarantee to the public tliat an increase of the tasr would not carry with it an increased cost to the consumer." The beer duty at 3d per gallon produces L5<?,000 per annum. Brewers are the only class of manufacturers in the colony who can " wax fat and drive about in'their carriages, and were the tax doubled, this industry could stand it-. —Yours, etc., XXX.

Boarding-House Keepers and the Dudes.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, For a number of years I have kept a boarding-bouse in this fair city of ours, and like a number of others who have also kept an establishment of that kind, I have been wilfully played upon by a class of young men known to society as " dudes," who on a weefcly salary of from Ll to 255, engage lodging* nt the rato of 235, exclusive of washing, thus leaving the munificent sum of 2s in the latter instance to provide them ■in clothing, pocket money, &c. These young men think that it would lower their dignity to board at a place where the rent was only 15s or 17s. Now, sir, I am a hard-working woman with ft large family depending oh mo for sustenance. These young men, after in qniring my terms, engage apartments, knowing full well fhey nre unable to pay for them. I comply, after inquiring as to their pecuniary condition, which, according to their own account, is always very satis factory. They inevitably bring some buses, and nfter a number of weeks, when re minded that their board is in arrear, leave most unexpectedly. I then inspect their effects, bob find that they consist of the greatest mbbish, and, alas ! not worth rolling. Now, Mr Editor, can you tell me what to do? h Hiero no criminal law for such as these, for they commit ah act which in equivalent, to obtaining goods on false pretences.—Yours, etc., " Exonia," Hobson-atreer.

P.S.—I think that if boarding-houses formed an association and demanded pay ment in advance this class of young men would speedily disappear. — E.
