REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

MOTION BY SIR JULIUS VOGEL.

CHALLENGE BY THE PREMIER.

(BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. THE question of the revision of the tariff was again brought prominently forward a yesterday afternoon's sitting, and the whole matter will now be reviewed. After the notices of questions and motions had been given, Sir Julius Vogel asked the Premier if he would giv? him an opportu nity of moving resolutions relative to a revision of the tariff. It was usual to do so on the motion for going into Committee of Ways and Means, but ho would ask the Go vernment whether they would give him any facilities for doing so after they had dis posed of the question for going into supply.

The Premier wished to know if the reso lutions traversed the policy of the Govern nient.

Sir Julius: They propose to make a change 1 in' the tariff this session. The Premier said thab in that case he would propose to go into Committee of Ways and Means at once.

Sir Julius replied that he was not quite ready with his resolutions, and would not be prepared to move them till next week. The Premier remarked that in that case he could nob go into any Governmenb busi ness till next week. The Government could not possibly do business for a week with a no-confidence motion hanging over them.

Sir Julius Vogel said that ho would not give formal notice that day, but would in timate the course he intended to pursue. It had been stated that there was a good deal of difficulty in bringing down the tariff, but the Opposition generally did* not think .hero was any such greab difficulty in the matter. He considered ib was necessary to alter the tariff this session, and Dr. Fitchett had undertaken to receive communications from all parts of the coun try with respect to the necessary revisions. (Laughter.) He should say no moro than to merely announce his intentions, in order to enable the people interested throughout the country from one end to the other to send these communications to Dr. Fitchett.

The Premier said he could not accept the hon. gentleman's position at all, and he should decline absolutely to do any more Government business till the- hon. gentle man had had time to prepare his tariff, with the assistance of the hon. member for Dun edin Central. He should pioceed as soon as the Speaker called for the necessary papers to move the adjournment of the House. (" Oh, oh " and " hear.") If mem bers were prepared to let tho country's time be wasted in this way, the result would be that the sitting of tho House would last till after Christmas, but if he understood the temper of the House they would not submit to anything of that kind. He inti mated that the Government Avere unwilling to go on with the business of the country under a threat of expulsion from office. He would consider between thab time and to-morrow whether ifc was right thafc private members should have an opportunity of going on with their work to-morrow and the next day, but ho was not prepared to say thafc fcho Govern ment would be justified in undertaking any business whatever till the hon. member had brought; down his resolutions. He would move the adjournment of the House till to morrow. (Cries of "No, no.") Sir Julius Vogel said that the position the Premier had takenup was to his mind utterly absurd. He had heard before he camo into the House thafc the Government did nofc wan. to go 1 On" with Government business that day or the next. (Major Atkinson : " No.") In bringing down these resolutions he had nofc challenged the position of fche Government, and had the Government been a strong and independent one— strong in the position of declaring its policy—-they would have had his support, for ho did nofc desire office. So far from these proposals challenging the position of the Government, he was in hopesof getting . tho Government; support on them. They had merely been made wifch a view of getting an amendment of tho tariff made at the earliest possible moment. The object of his resolutions was nofc to traverse the position of the Government, and if ho saw a way to carry oufc a policy which he be lieved would be of benefit to the country, ho woulddoallhe could .ohelptheGovernment, and give it thafc strength which ifc clearly did nofc possess, because of its representing so many divided opinions. The resolutions were nofc brought down with a view of obstructing the Government. On fche con trary, if Ministers would look at them fairly and dispassionately no one would bo move pleased than himself and those gentle men who supported him. Tar ill' revision was a main question at tho elections, and ib would nofc bo satisfactory to the country if the session were to pass without a dis cussion upon ifc. As fco fche question of delay he was nofc going to be deterred from what he considered fco be his duty by a charge of obstruction being raised against; him. He knew that old dodge so well thafc ifc wa3 simply amusing. To say thafc they were nob to have a discussion on fche Customs tariff because of the length of fche session, was simply ridiculous, and there was no reason why Parliament should nofc sib bill afber Christmas if necessary. The taking of the private members' day so early in the session was very, objectionable. Ifc had been said thab bhe session musb be broughb bo a close because bhe shearing season was coming on, bub he reminded fche House fchafc members were there fco represent men, and nofc sheep. (Laughter.) He would give the Govern ment every facility to go on with the busi ness quickly where he conceived ifc ought to be gone on with quickly, but would nob allow any charge of obsbrucbion bo prevenb him from bringing down questions which fche House should consider. He could nob re concile such a course to his conscience. Protection was a question intimately con nected with the well-being of the colonies at the present moment, and having an nounced his intention of bringing it forward he trusted tbe Premier fco recall his deci sion, hastily given, and allow other busi ness to be proceeded with in the mean time.

The Minister for Education said that the Premier was not likely to recall his decision, nor was it hastily given. The Government had no right to go o_ with the business of the country till the resolutions of which notice had been given had been disposed of. He charged the member for Christchurch North with havinetf during the past week or more, done nothingelse bufc waste the time of the House.

Sir Julius Vogel: I rise to a point of order. I ask that the words "The hon. gentleman has done nothing but waste the time of the House for past week " be taken down. If that is not an offensive expression, I don't know what is. On this question being put, the motion was negatived on the voices by an over whelming majority. The Minister for Education proceeded to gay thab he wished the worsb bhing bhab ho.d been done during bho pasb week had been the waste of the time of the House. He called attention to the fact that the tax payers in whose interest Sir Julius Vogel claimed to speak had to pay £400 for every day's sitting of the House, and this cost was doubled by the waste of time, which prevented the Government giving effect to their retrenchment proposals. The Go vernment werequite prepared to discuss fcheir policy bills directly the Financial Sfcafce- Btsafc dobate «ad terminated. The country

would stand no more of Sir Julius Voxel's tariff experiments. What did the hon. gentleman mean by a "strong and inde pendent Government ?" Had it not been demonstrated thab a strong Government could be carried On without his.assistance ? The Government had distinctly stated thab they did not intend to tinker with the tariff, as they recognised the necessity for some settled tariff in order that trades people might have some oertainty as to whab their position would be. Mr Moss said bhat the resolutions had come before both sides of the HoUse in the nature of a surprise. The Govern ment were divided on the question of pro tection, and were temporising with it and playing wibh the House. He was sure the House would not want a no-confidence debate, and knew that many members had endeavoured to get this question discussed on its merits apart from party considera tions. He suggested that the Government should get Imprest Supply, then ad journ the House till January Or February nexb, and then resume the session when the revised estimates could be brought down to gether with an amended tariff. Mr Fish denied that the waste of time was attributable to the Opposition, but rabher bo the Government. He contended that the country had pronounced more strongly in favour of protection than re trenchment.

Mr Turnbull considered that the pro posed motion was ill-advised at tho presenb time, and did not think that anyone of bhe Opposition side of the House knew that ahy such proposal was going bo be made. Tho first step to consider was retrench ment, and then ho believed it would be found imperative to alter the tariff before they went home. He objected to plucking the pear before ib was ripe. A motion such as that which Sir Julius proposed to move should havo been Con sidered by the wholo party, and nob by merely one or two members of it.

Mr"Seddon accused the Governmenb ot shirking their duty on bhe question. Mr Barron thought a no-confidence motion was called for, but ib should be no confidence in bhe Opposition, leader, who was responsible for bhe greab waste of time this session.

Dr. Fitchett drew attention to the incon sistent position taken up by tho Govern ment. They admitted that tho revision of the tariff was necessary, and yet when the Opposition showed a disposition to help them they regarded the motion as a directly hostile one.

Sir John Hall declared that he had been a protectionist when some of these mem bers now professing to be protectionists had been ardent free-traders. The Opposi tion leader had stated that he did not want to occupy the.Treasury benches (laughter), but only Wished to geb an opinion on bho question of protection. He (Sir .1. Hall) held that fcho Government were bound to treat the matter in the manner in which they had, seeing thafc notice had beon given by the leader of the Opposition, who spoke with an air of authority with which no other private member could speak. Sir Julius Vogel said that at the request of a number of his friends, ho would ask to be allowed to withdraw the intimation he had made for tho present. Tho Premier said the hon. member was quite mistaken if he thought ho (fcho Premier) was given to accept such a with drawal as that. Ho was going to have tho question settled. Mr W. P. Reeves : How ? The Premier said he was going to chal lenge fche Opposition leader to move by a a friend, or as a substantive motion, " Tliat in the opinion of this House the tariff ought to be revised this session." No time would be wanted to consider that, nor would there be any necessity to wait a week till his young friend, the member for Dunedin Central, could receive communications from the various Protection Societies throughout the colpny. The position of firsfc assistant to a Colonial Treasurer was a very ignoble one for tbe hon. gentleman to be placed in. (Laughter.) He had no doubt thab there would be a howl of laughter throughout fche country ♦ a tariff produced in a week under such cir«. instances. Sir J. Vogel : There might be a laugh on the other side.

Major Atkinson said he was going to give his hon. friend a chance. Nob only would he givo him an opportunity to move tho re solution suggested, bufc he would also give him access to the public records and officers of Government. Ho invited cither Sir Julius or ono "of his-friends to afc once table a motion, " That in the opinion of this Houso, the revision of the tariff ought to be gone on with this session." That would enable them to got on wibh fche business, and if no such proposal were mado ho (bho Premier) would, on the House resuming, geb one of his own supporters to move, "That in the opinion of th.U House the work of the revision of the tariff should not be proceeded with this session." (Minis terial cheers.) Sir J. Vogel said he was not prepared to accept the challenge, but he waa willing that the Government should move the re solution against the revision, of tariff this session, as it would show the feeling of tho House, and would assist the Opposition in deciding what was tho best course to pursue in order to facilitate the business of the country. The Premier wished to move the adjourn ment of the House till 7.30, when Sir Julius might have an opportunity of accepting the challenge thrown out, or the Government could take steps to test the feeling of the House. The Speaker said the motion was that the House do now adjourn, which meant that it adjourn till 2.30 next day. As the Premier had replied, no amendment could be made. The motion was then put and carried by 50 to 32. The following is the division list :— Ayes, 50.

THE MINING ACT.

PUBLIC MEETING.

A COMMITTEE APPOINTED,

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT,)

Thames, last night. A largely-attended meeting of miners and others interested in the industry was held in the Academy of Music on Monday evening, aboub 300 being present. Mr James McGowan was unanimously voted to the chair. , « Mr S. Montgomery explained thab he and Mr Milletb had convened the meet ing to consider tho Mining Act, 1886. The field was in a deplorable state of depression, and it was for them to do everything in their power to as certain the real cause, and, if possible, to remove it. The goldfield was as good as ever, and contained untold wealth, bub the working miner did not geb tho pro duce of his labour, which went- to the Auckland "ring," who, having already got the fat, now wanted to sell the bones to English capitalists. Those present had doubtless all heard of landsharks, who held large runs and lived upon the people, but what had they seen at. their very doors ? Nothing but sheep runs. Large areas had been pegged out, not with the intention of working them, bub merely for speculative purposes, and yet it would not be right to blame those who did so. as it was the fault of the Act which permitted them to do so The Mining Act was, he believed, framed so as to allow the Auckland "ring "to rule the markets and milk tbe public. The miners, however, should assert bhemselves, and do their utmost to havo the Acb amended} so as to prevent these large areas being held, and with this end in view ho would liko to see a good committee appointed to consider the various clauses, and ascertain what required to bo eliminated. Mr Thos. Milletb said that the Mining Act of 1886 was almosb unworkable as applied to this district, and it was absolutely necessary that several of the clauses should be amended, especially that which allowed ono man to-take up 30 acres and only employ one man to evory two acres. Mr Montgomery and himself had waited upon tho Warden re tho matter, who informed them that he was of opinion that the security of a licensed holding was frequently neces sary to obtain capital to erect machinery and develop the ground, but in order to prevent persons holding tho ground for merely speculative purposes, ho thought the Warden should possess tho power to order tho employment of more than one man to every two acres. The Warden also mentioned that on tho 15th inst. he had askod tho Minister of Mines to move for an amendment of the Regulations in this direction, and were this done there would bo no trouble in getting a licensed holding. The Warden had refused to grant licensed holdings at Maritoto, and what was tho result? Tho ground was all tuken up under miners' rights, and now it was manned. No ono would ob ject to ground being taken up by specu lators for legitimate mining, but what was tho position now? Largo areas had beon pegged out from tho town up to Punga Flab, which it was intended to hold sololy for speculative purposes. If a miner suc ceeded in unearthing a bit of gold, someone at once camo around and said : " You must clear out; this is my lease." These specu lators should bo com polled to employ wages men on the ground held by them, or else made to abandon it, and allow those who would work it an opportunity of taking it up. Several othor speakers addressed the meeting in a similar strain, aftor which a committee was appointed to consider the Mining Act, and forward amendments to Parliament as soon as possible in the form of a petition.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE FRUIT - STEALING CASE

(To fche Editor.)

Sir,—ln writing your strictures on the action of the magistrate in this case, you surely failed to ade quato consideration to their bear ing and tendency. I will not argue whether the citizen who has planted fruit trees is not entitled to the protection of tho law. Nor will I dwell on tho notorious fact that garden pilfering is so prevalent in this place as to be a scandal and disgrace to it. I simply desire to express my greafc regret that a newspaper, tho general tone of which is co admirable, should, in this instance, exert a de teriorating influence on public honour and honesty—a regret which will be shared, I feel sure, by ninety-nine oufc of every hundred of your more thoughtful leaders. All true friends of democracy are agreed that in order to the beneficial exer cise of tho power which has fallen into their hands, the education and moral discipline of the people are of vital importance; a great responsibility there fore rests upon tho conductors of those newspapers which have the ear of the people, and contribute largely to the shaping of public sentiment. Now, sir, I am sure you will not seriously contend that there is any essential distinc tion, as regards the dishonesty of tho act, between stealing fruit from a tree and steal ing the price of it from a greengrocer's till. If there be any difference, it is against steal ing from an orchard, because in the nature of things bhe ripening fruit must be lefb unprotected, and in a community possessed of a senso of honour the unprotected is held to have special claims to respect. Is thieving any the more reputable when it is easy ana safe 1 You appear tot-fink that orchard-robbing is a venial offence. What's all this fuss about five shillings' worth of loquats ? you say. Well, what would you say if it were five shillings' worth of half-crowns? If a street urchin picks a pocket of a shilling handkerchief, ho is treated and punished as a thief ; but if a respectable (?) boy steals five shillings' worth of loquats it is a small mabber, deserving of no other punishment and reprobation than is meted out to an ordinary school-boy delinquency ! What does a hardy boy care aboub a strapping by his father in the presence of a policeman ? Bufc, you argue, public, sentiment re gards orchard-robbing a3 venial—we all robbed orchards when we were boys. I de mur to both nontentiors. There is, I admit, a vague idea in some minds fchafc this sort of offence is a mere boyish freak, the outcome of high spirib. Bub fche nobion will nob stand a moraenb's examination. Boys who steal fruit do so because they covet the fruit, and if somo are led into ib without meaning much harm, so much the moro are they to blame who lend countenance to the senti ment that this offence is venial. The Stab is read by my boys, and I protest against teaching which tenils to confuse their sense of right and wrong, by suggesting that stealing of a peculiarly mean kind is a trifling matter. If there be any such public sentiment as you postulate, it is high time that it were corrected; and tho magistrate is to be applauded who makes it understood that he cannot dis tinguish between sorts of stealing, bufc musfc award to the quasi respec table boy who steals, the punishment of a thief. Let that once be properly understood, and many a boy whose instincts are honest enough will be deterred from the demoralising habits and associations generated by night roaming and garden pilfering.-—Yours, etc., M.

[Our remarks have certainly not made upon tho mind of "M." the impression

which we desired to convey. Nothing was further frota our thoughts than to ex tenuate the conduct of the or depict robbery in any .shape as aTenial offence/What wo did desire to point out, however, was the undue severity of a punishment which may blast the character of two lads for Ufe Jtor committing what appears to have been a thoughtless rather than a criminally yicions act. While the law has made provision lor rrivifis first offenders in serious crimes the benefit of probation, it appears to us wholly unwise and unjust that mercy should bo denied to two lads in the circum . stances of this case. It J> doubtless a wrong thing to palliate the theft even of a pin, but we must beware of manufacturing criminals, and endeavour to make our punishments reformatory. To destroy tha* sense of self-respect and instinctive horror which every right-minded boy feels at the thought of being incar cerated in goal, is a very serious thing, and ought to be avoided until wo have first tried the means at our disposal of pun ishing the laches of a young offender withoub degrading and hardening nirn. If our correspondent will re-peruse the article, be will observe that its remarks were directed as much against" the guiding principle " laid down by the R.M. for the treatment of juvenile law breakers, who have not yet become hardened offenders, as against the sentence in this particular case. Tlie inconsistency of the sentence was lllue rated to-daywhen thesamemagistrateagreed to admit an adult, convicted of theft, to the benefit of probation, although he yesterday sent to gaol two schoolboys who, with a crowd of thoughtless companions, were led into the commission of a wrong act. His explanation that boys might misinterpret the meaning of pro bation is surely a very inadequate one for branding these lads with a stain which the law has endeavoured to keep from the adult offender, who ought to have known better. The lesson of probation, with the gaol as a me nace, if vigorously enforced by the appli cation of a birch rod, would be very much more effective in stopping orchard-robbing than actual incarceration.—En. E.S.] (To the Editor.) Sin,—l was gratified to see your article last ovening in reference to our legal adminis tration? although I think your criticism of R.M. Baddeley too lenient. It seems to mo that our laws are most unjustly administered in many in stances, and especially where magistrates order the whipping of children for petty theft, while they allow persons convicted of systematic larceny and even violent assaults against the person to go free on service of a short imprisonment. While congratulating the Auckland police on the good order of our streets, which compare well with any city in the world, my human feelings revolt at the sovere treatment I frequently see unfortunate "drunks " suffer at the hands of over-zealous constables. —I am, etc.,
