Frederick Dennisson Morris said that there was no disguising that the acknowledgment of an evil spirit was characteristic of Christianity. He agreed with that senti ment. They might wonder what that; had to do with politics. Well, he could tell thorn that all the troubles of the nations of the past were due to the machinations of the devil. He thought that he could trace the devilish strokes by which democracy had been overthrown. With regard to female suffrage, he would point out to them what was the true duty of women to the State. He then quoted from Roman History as follows :— To Numa, 715 8.C., was ascribed the insti tution of the College of the Vestal Virgins who should be chosen from the noblest families and have in their holy keeping the sacred fire called Eternal, the symbol of the duration of this State. It implied that the duration of Rome was co-extensive with the preservation of her purity of morals. So lon<^ as the dignity of her matrons and virgins remained unsullied, so long she would last. No longer female chastity guarded the Eternal City." Robertson, of Brighton, speaking of the moral decay which made it impossible for Rome to maintain its balance, as, for instance, the decay of domestic sanctity—Merl vale's Roman History. He, Merivale, says; " Sanctity of matron life was a cardinal foundation of Roman morality. It was not merely upon the chastity of their wives, it was upon their fidelity and loyalty that the Romans built up the life of the family." Among the laws which they luid made for the honour and security of the marriage state they made no provision for ' Divorce;' in the good old time, the contingency of a crime which should burst the bonds of honourable marriage had not occurred to their imagination, and perhaps they were content to leave it to be dealt with under the exceptional authority which they granted to the head of the family over his goods, his chattels, his wife and his children. But the time had arrived when special legis lation was asked for (b.c. 231 : 522 from founding of city), though the occasion for it was not a crime, but a misfortune. The I wife of Spurius Carvilius was barren. The fortunes of an aristocratic house depended on the birth of children, and Spnrius re quired the enactment of a law to enable him to repudiate her. But the- measure was of evil example, and nothing tended more to sap the morals of the Romans than the laxity which was thus introduced into the holiest and most delicate of all hrnn&n rela tions. The moral degeneracy of the Roman democracy may be traced to this as an initial point. At'the beginning of the last century oi the Republic, two of the most distinguished Romau ladies, the wives oi Consulars, were accused of having poisoned their husbands, and were put to death by the decree of their own cousins. Horrible crimes, with almost incredible ramifications, are recorded. jNJ«?buhr's History :—" There never was a country in such a state of com plete ariarcby. The condition of Athens during its anarchy, of which people talk so much 7 bears no comparison with that of Rome. Rome, or rather some hundreds, say even a few thousands of her citizens who recognised neither law nor order, had the sway over nearly the whole of the known world, and pursued only their own personal objects in all directions. The Republic was a mere name and the laws had lost theirpower." They might think that such a state of affairs was impossible in the English nation. He would admit that ifc was at present; but unless they checked the at tempts of the Evil One, England and America would soon become as bad and as weak as Athens and Rome. It was a simple matter of fact that some of the greatest men owed their posi tion to the influence of women. That great thinker and writer, Mr Benjamin Disraeli, or rather Lord Beacons field, had admitted that in his work '' Coningsby." He was himself but young in politics, but he could tell them that if he was not absolutely leaning upon noble and beautiful women, beautiful in the moral sense, he would have been utterly unable to. address them that) even ing. But did the enemy of man also see that power of female influence ? Of course he did, and, aa a.consequence,, he com menced to attack that beautiful being— woman. He maintained that the relation of woman to man was a Divine institution, written not only in the Scriptures, but in the heart of every woman and man. But he maintained that woman's influ ence upon man should be exhibited in pri vate. Well, the devil wishing to strike at this, came forward with the Woman's Suf frage Bill,which he believed to b3 the big gest bit of devilment ever brought forward in this world. (Applause.) Tie Jiked to explain these matters to the ladies, for they would listen to him, and nobody else would. When he.had 2,000 noisy electors in front of him it was no wonder that his voice failed him. He trusted that 'before he had concluded his addresseg in Auckland they would hay& come to the conclusion that, besides being a bit of a humourist, he wag quite capable of attending &o political matters, it might be said that there was a large number of in telligent women who might use their talents beneficially outside their own household. But if they gave women the franchise it would be to give them the governing power which he contended was against the divine law. He held thab women had no l-eal power of government. Women had their own way of governing, and he might say it was very effective.- Legitimate petticoat government meant twisting her husband around her finger, but there was also an illegitimate petti coat goveniinent/nrbich resulted in putting the family out of order and bringing the man into contempt. To give women the power to govern was against the law of God, which said that women should be in subjection. Well, thea, it was said that they would give the suffrage to spinsters and widow 3. He must say that he ob. jected to that, for th& reason that the spinsters were in a sensa the rejected, and consequently the inferior oiass, (Laughter.) Yes, they might laugh, but it was a serious matte v, for there, were.a great number of spinsters. about nowadays. That they were as a whole the inferior class of women was evident from the fact that the married woman had succeeded in fascinating a man so' that he married her. It was not, 'to■ be supposed that men would leave the best women. No; men chose the best orws, Well, he would ask them if ifc would be right to give the franchise to this inferior class and shut out the intelligent married women. He could tell them that if ho gob into the House he would oppose the Fetnak Suffrage Bill to the utmost limits of Ms power.- (Applause.) Of course there were many intelligent, beautiful spinsters, but he contended that they could find other spheres. of labour outside of polities. A good deal might be done in the way of ameliorating the position of servant girls. They required to understand that there was something more between mistress and ser vant than 10s a week to wash up dishes. He would cite two instances of great women; one was Charlotte Bronte, who was perhaps the noblest woman who had ever lived, the mother of the Lord excepted. She possessed true genius, and her books might be read with safety by all. On the other hand, George Eliot possessed talent 3 that almost deserved to be called talents. But then there was that in her books which prevented him from placing her books in the hands of his daughters. The difference was that one had the true instincts of womanhood, and the other had not. He concluded his address by an earnest appeal to all women to be governed in their actions by their pure hearts rather than their heads

at previous meetings against the present Government, but he wished to except from those strictures two men, the Hon. Mr Rey nolds and the Hon. Mr Larnac'a. They, he considered, were good and trtie men, who were working for the good of the colony at large. They were like the fifth spoke in the wheel of the Government.

Mr Connell then, in order to test the feeling of the meeting, submitted thefollow ing motion {Mi'A Thab the women of Auck land present afc this meeting, having heard Mr ConnelFs views upon the woman's suffrage questions, are willing to accept him as their representative in Parliament."

As no hands were held up, Mr Connell suggested that the Chairman should ask if any voted against it. This was done, and the motion was declared carried.

A vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman on the motion of Mr Connell ; a vote of thanks was also accorded Mr ConJ nell, on the motion of Mr B. Carbines, after which the meeting separated at 9 o'clock.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Victoria v. Mew South Wales.

(To the Editor.)

t Sir, —The criticism you pass in your lead > ing article of this evening on Mr Withy's I quotation from Sir T. H. Fairer is, I think, i unfair on some points, which with your per mission i will examine. lam aware of the 1 adage " that figures may be made to prove j anything," bub properly quoted and honestly used they can only tell one tale. ; And first as to area, the fact of Victoria : having a less area than New South Wales 1 has really nothing to do with tho matter, ! as neither of them are either cultivated or ' populated up to their capacity. Let vis suppose two cotton mills situated in tho i same town, the holding capacity of one 1150,000 spindles and of the other only 50,000 spindles, that the smaller mill had 20,000 spindles at work, and the larger only 19,000 ' the one which had the most spindles at worl should show under equal management the largest return of trade. So it is %vith these two colonies : the proper standard of measurement is tho population each has. Secondly, as to tho statistics you quote, I suspect you have been using those given in the " Melbourne Age " pamphlet; if so, they are incorrect, and do not agfSS with the official figures as given by the two colonies. I will pass them over Without analysing them, with one observation - that it is invidious to separate the exports of wool from the gross exports and then in stitute a comparison of what is left, the more especially as you plead s6 strongly in the last half of your article for "natural industries." If wool is not a natural industry of all the Aus tralasian colonies, then 1 do not know the meaning of the term. The statistics Mr Withy quoted instituted a comparison be tween 1870 and 1880 to show the rate of progress of the two colonies under different principles of trading. I do not like as a ruffe to compare any one year's trading with any other year's trading, as the range is too small; going to Table XXV, in which he supplies the ten years' trading, 1875 to ISS4, compared in two periods of five years each, givc3 the following results : — Victoria Imports. Exports. Average population. 1875 9 7£>,9">0,950 71,501,025 8155324 1880-1 • »J.9o?,'J7a 80,519;iG9 1)08,318 Increase 7,0J8,025 5),318,5H 92,934 New South Imports. Exports. Average Wales population." 1575-9 70,737,290 65,851,03.8 659,105 13804 0G,427.G73 86,129,126 825,739 Increase i!5,G00,383 20,575,088 11)0,631 1 will leave the above figures without note or comment to tell their own tale, ob serving that it was not until the year 1881 that New South Wales passed Victoria in the volume of her trade. For the sake of com parison I have taken out the trading of Now Zealand for the 10 years—lß7(s to 1885—from the book of statistics of the latter year. They show increase of im ports in the two 5 year periods L 2,013,314, of exports L 2,614,024 and of the average population 101,682. These figures pro perly interpreted give the key to a great deal of the depression at present existing. Regarding the latter portion of your article dealing with what you term "natural industries," I expect I should, join issue with you at once. My contention would be that a natural industry needs no protection whatever, that it is injured by being inter fered with from tho outside. We should have to come to a definition as to what is understood by the term. We grow wool, that is a natural indnsiiry ; we grow flax, and make leather ; these are natural in dustries,, but iff do? 3 not at all follow because, these are done naturally and with out protection, that we must necessarily have woollen mills to convert the wool into cloth, and fibre works, and boot factories which cannot sustain themselves, except by protective duties which are nothing more or less than an extra tax on the natural tin protected industries. The other day the fentleman from whom I bought the boots was wearing,wh.i,ch are of Auckland make, called at my office. A sort of sudden inspira tion impelled me to lift my boot and ask how much of that was produced in the colony as a raw material. He took out his pricing book and turnod up the boot, when it was found that only one-fourth was pro duced in the colonyand three-fourths v/as im ported, and this will be found to be the case with many other industries. I could name industries, and nob i small ones, where the whole cost iiv wages of conversion of the raw material into the finished article is no more than the protective duty. We are a protectionist' colony; almost every article we produce is protected, so to raise the question, at this election as ib is being raised, is rather raising a false Issue, as even Mr Withy says he does not see his way in the present state of the colony to meddle much with the tariff.

At the risk of a little overstepping your rulsa, J should ljlte to. s,ay I have known. Mr Withy intimately sinoe he came to the colony. He is a very clear-headed honest man, a splendid man of business. He Is one of those of whom we require many more, possessed of great sagacity and wisdom very much wanted at this present crisis. Any constituency electing him will do itself honour and confer a benefit, on the whole colony.—l am, &c. John Miln?,, July, 18.

[If Mr Milne will peruse oil* remarks again lie will see that the reference to. area ■yy^ made specially in connection with the production of wool, which forms the chief article of export from New/ South Wales. He must, on consideration, admit that the possession of vast traqts of pas toral lands is. a niost important factor in developing this industry. A wide expanse of territory is also important in relation to the production of mineral wealth. It so happens that the political division of Vic toria and New S«uth Wales has made Victoria dependent' on her' neighbour for every ton of coal she uses. Our correspon dent omits to explain why Victoria has so outstripped her free-trade rival in the com petition for. the intercolonial trade. His figures with regard to New Zealand prove what advocates of protection to local in dustry so much deplore, that, despite the enormous loan expenditure and importa tion of labour, the imports and exports of New Zealand during the last 10 years have remained almost stationary. — Ed.

I may here say the Qatmeal soon caused unplea santness, souruess oi' the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this 1 waa glad to get away, and at once took to your patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plolnod of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and th,©. whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it. and certainly think you should do a largo trade in suoh an excellent article.—Yotirs very truly, (Signed) FRKDK. WHITEHEAD.

It ia without a doubt a splendid article of diet.
