_\ Jackson Palmer at Wark worth.

Mb Jacksok Palmer addressed the electors ■ofEodney at Warkworth on Saturday/June 2nd. ;-There, was a large attendance of nearly 200pebple;-and on the motion of Mr Nathaniel Wilson, Mr Pulham took the ' chair and introduced Mr Palmer, who said ' . k»r, rotisiderable diffidence in addressing BEto the first time iri his life that pvW. His diffidence arose from the fact - She *a_ charged by his opponent with . ££. a young man; in fact it had been -3k was.far too young to be elected to Se.6_t that constituency. He contended S'youth was-nob always the sign of •Scffitv.'noryet old age always the sign Hs youth ought to be any stumbling block Keir'electmg him as their representative. 'Mr Palmer and his audience seemed to be *bori" accord " . on this matter. Ho then Jut on to show what effect the demonitisa m bfsUver'Kad on the present depres ln- how the countries with the silver currency were able to drive the countries vain. the gold currency out of the market- the case of India; that before the ; Siiitisation' of ; silver if India sent LI 000 worth of gram to the English mar -ke .whenthat money exchanged into : 'thVeoin of India, it would be about 10,100 . rupees,b-t_owlDdia could afford to sell . that LI.OOO worth of gram for L9OO, as, ancV'the'-Ppreciation of gold by the de lonitisatibn of silver, when the L9OO was • ?e-c-aiged into the coinage of India, it 12,000 rupees; So India M-ltL-aflbrd to sell, that grain. LIOO 'cheaper.-than, she-, formerly did, yet i : "__k6v|.oO-' -rupees ; more than she , u di_ : ' before!' The consequence of this ■ -Iffi-that'-I-d-a could- drive the colonial ; put "of-the market) .He advised the "'remonitisation of"silver, and advised.them ' *ffiFt-i-,was no abstract question at all, . vMoiieTthat they, should consider at once. Illftpe- how thecolony had beeif reduced of bankruptcy by reckless borrowing and _i-re ; reckless expenditure, ad went'into'figures to show that New 1 MM had to pay in interest on .borrowed -monerand'in taxation tho large sum of i ? 115 tor head for every man, woman, and "child;'in the colony, and that at average - this only left a man with a family of misb-s/the sum of l i d eacn . P er "i'4ay to "live upon ; that the colony could upon it, that they •*|is..fefr.iichf. ! :toore especially as -filieir "money: was''being ' squandered in keeping /_.„t-a-number of useless appoint i .-.'w;ith a remuneration of --_600 "a year," and nothing to do, and "three or four assistants to assist—that this \ must be stopped and they must retrench, retrenchment, he would start at the r t_p of the tree and reduce the Governor's ■ and j expenses to L 5,000, and the should, receive no honoraria, .hit the members should do. that work for . glory of it, and if they were not willing'to' do this, there were plenty of :.'WKj'6(_a.lry as good legislators in the colony ;t W.cotlld'be.found to do the work in thO Upper House without hohorarium ; that 'j-tiees'aid Volunteer officers were not paid, and these did far more work. That fifty menibefs were sufficient-for the House of Representatives, and the Ministry should coi-hit of five paid Ministers. Mr Palmer ~.slpwedii this was done how it would be a i laving to: the. colony in. that branch alone oil 4-,000 a year, and he then complained aboiit';tlie v number of paid officials, and shoved : LIO,OOO a year could be saved. Ming siiould bo' taken' of the Post and Departments, as the civil ser vants ;in these were not well paid for the -viduablework they did. That the defence vtoojight to be enormously reduced, and by substitdhirig, the volunteers for • the per cent: force, and only retaining 100 of these, and also by only having a garrison adjutant and sergeant-major in each of the : four'centres''Of-population, the defence wuld be 'brought to cost the colony about ■■ a year less than it.does now, and the force Would be far more efficient. The railways he-showed-were- losing to the -, wlony -sumamountmg.toabout 12s 6d per W; therefore the county of Eodney was : Paying _way, : for the benefit of those coun- Wflwt had railways, the large,sum of Moat; 14,000 a" year, and the injustice of ..., ™ wasdilated upon by the speaker. That Mutation cost the colony last year over of which L9o,ooo,was for higher Mucation, arid the town schools received all : ™'-dv;ftntage, to- the detriment of the schools, by teaching music and ®™g,'.etc.;'in the town schools. That m original btention of the Education Act »«.togiveequal education to everyone in I ™ State,, but now the original intention and there was no equality, ffltt'ttgufes were here resorted to, to show ' be retrenched off Mr Palmer went through 'm> of _'it__ of 'the Go- _j__ owecl fIOW ?ear i y .

But it goes 60 minutes to the hour regularly all the time; that's why the factory has to be enlarged and the agencies extended. it As far as the Waterbury is concerned, I can give you my testimonial in a few words. The longer I wear tho watch the better I like it. v It is always true to time."— Edward l Kennedy, Manager Berrima Colliery.- Parents, teach your children to be in time. As soon as your boy can read tho time of day, give him a watch ; teach him how to take care of it' and always be in time. No need to buy a costly one. Tho . Waterbury is the very best watch for the purpose, and will always keep the boy on time. The Waterbury Watch Company don't claim to give you an 18-carat Gold Chrono meter with your name engraved on it, and a Gold Chain to hang it on, for 13s 6d. But they do claim to give you a strong, accurate, durable timekeeper for the money, and don't you forget i| The Waterbury Watch is cheap, simple, strong, durable, massive, and exact. ThT case is plain nickel, wearing equal to silver, and the movement is guaranteed to keep time, if used-with ordinary care, equal to the best English watches, and better than any of the cheap ones. The Waterbury would not be the cheapest watch in the world if it could not be re paired cheaply* when required. The Com pany undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2a 6d. The Water-Ay Watch is a keyless stem winder, unequalled in the world for ac curacy, reliability, and the strength and beauty of its fcpsh.. It is sold everywhere , for 13s GcL^f"" Price, 13s M.
