AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND IN DUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

'.he leather Industries

In response to an advertisement calling a meeting of employer* and employes in the various lea'her industries, about 40 parsons assembled at tha Temper- t unce Hal! last evening, at the invitation of tho Auckland New Zealand Indus- ' trial Association. Mr Geo. Eraser was , elected Chairman, and called upon Mr J. ( Brame, agent of the Association, to explain its objects. Mr Brame commenced his address by making loference to the work he had I already been able to perform in the in terests of the Association, including a very ' successful meeting held at tho Auckland • Timber Company's mill at noon that day. Tho objects of tho Association wtreprinci pally I o return representatives to Parliament ' who would promote itsinteresta. Thoprtsent meeting was to consider the tariffquestiori in regard to leather and the other branches _f trade. It was patent to all that, tho colony ■.vas going downhill every ye ai. and one of the chief can-ea was that our imports ex ceeded our exports. During the past ten years tha imports of the oolonv had ex ceeded the exports by thirteen millions, and during thai period a sum of £24,000,000 had beon borrowed by tbe country. The present unhealthy state of tha colony was conetquently duo to the co..aition of the labour market. (Applause.) What the Association should strivo for was to return a Government that would strivo to procura the largest possible measure of prosperity for tha peoplo, nud if any Government did not do that, it should be put out of office. It was truo that a Government going into office might be seriously hampered by the doings of its predecessors, and they should btr allowed time to find out what kind of water they wore sailing in. A Go vernment ought to bo paternal, and should foster those industries wl.ich would be of thp greatest good to the greatest number. The source of all true national wealth and greatness should be the land, and yet, strangely enough, there was not a sourco of industry in tho United Kingdom to-day that paid less. The result was that tho cultivation of land in the United Kingdom was on tho decrß.r.e, although the population wr.i increasing. At a meeting lick', at Lincoln in 1881 all clasi-OB oi people wero present, and the question of free trade and prole" tion was discussed by rich o.n_ ponr on tho samo platform. \t was assorted that tho country depended on the town, and that the town equally depended on tho country, and that meeting, repre senting over a thousand peoplo, with two exceptions only, held up their hands for a return to a protection policy. The national sentiment on this question was undergoing a ohange, and he was convinced that the United Kingdom would be compelled to alter its fieoa. commercial policy in order to maintain the supremacy which she thinks is hers. He asked the votaries of free trade to give some reason for the enormous growth of pauporifin in freo trade colonies, and tell him why, if free, trade was a benefit to society, ad these evils were nor. swept away. It was truo that oven io protective America thy samp stute of things exibted. to a curtain extent ss iin fre.-ti'ade England; but thio opened ; up another question which he did tf.t ' Mr Brame next referred to several argu ment's put forward by newspaper letter write.s in favour ot fveo trade. Ono argu -1 merit was, that any mechanical industry could not be protected except, at th_ expense of other industries. They were ' told, for instance, th ,t ibey could not 1 mako boot? onii ."noes without doing in -1 iury t_ s.mebody eieo That he considerod [to be ahsurd and fallacious reasoning. Another argument against protection was, ihat under a protectivo policy all p.ro_uc tions would bo dearer. He w'auld put it to the meeting this way i Suppose every man pre-uit received __ a week in wages - but ho feared that very fow would be able to hold up their hands for that amount. Suppose they got 0- a day. Would it not bo better to be able to spend Gs out of 9s, and save. :ii than t. sp.nd 4s out of (is, and F,.ve 2a. The foimer would g've better living and tnoro saving. If wages were high they could .fiord to pay better prices than if wages were low or almost nil. Under the free trade policy the condition

of the colony was becoming perfectly appalling. Skilled workmen were, com pelled io leave tho place to seek for work, and their wives and families were left a burden on tho country, in many instances receiving charitable aid. In order to improve this condition of things they required to develop their ind'^trics, and encouiage thoto capable cf creating now industries. Nov/, the country w.'.e sending out si:; or a-.v.n million-! annually for imports along with their experts, and thi. was unnecessary. He maintained that our exports were articles which could not be obtained anywhere, ar.d that so long as they were produced here they would find a yoady market. T«ke tho boot enn .boo t fl.de alone. Ho fouod that we imp i ted £00,000 worth every year, and similar goads cnuld be tumid nut here equally clie.p . It that one item alone were altered, how much additional labour would thov require Half the valuo of .60,000, "which woe the whole salo value of the goods imported, w,-;s given t,j. labour outside of tho colony,

and ir these boots and shoes were manu

factuiod here, there would consequently be £30,' DO additional to spend on labour in this department alone. There were 76 other

articles which supplied an illustration ecjual to this one, but he was not prepared to go through tho v.-liolo Hit, which would take ton much time. In the face v! this state of things, it was

only natural that we should avow impoverished year after year, and he hoped that they would make a revive te have them altered. Mr Brume then referred to tlio enormous dut'e. paid on jams aud fruit, tobacco and spirits, and other articles which could bo manufactured here, and concluded by expressing a hope that ho had succeeded in showing those present that profecTio.i was rhoonly ground upon which an imp'Ov-rm.n: of the condition, oi t:.e O'juutiy cmd b. looki d for. jAp.plaus..)

Mr \. Bell failed t^>«.o why thee jpiraliets ut" ihis pouoiry should be at the beck and call of the English freetrader, because he was a frea trader to themselves, but a pro tectionist to those outside of the country. He desired to correo; Mr Brame as to the sum paid out for leather poods. It was net more than £130 000. It was a miserable tact that the people had to come hero, spend ihtir money, and then bo reduced to tho position of common labourers They could not find a martlet for their produce because of /roe-trade policy, find until thoy Could rind a market in the country for raw material they should not bring settlors into the country.

Tho Chairman also referred briefly to the subject under notice What was wanted in this colony was that I hey should see njoney of lees value and labour of greater value (-pp)au°e.) As an employer ho did not «'i;-h to lower the prico of labour, but rather to ereaio a market for their labour, find ho \va^ cf opinion that great prosperity would ba the result if they shut themselves up in their own manufactures and saved men from beinj; driven out of the colony by

taxation

Mr Bell asked for the enr-.ment of mem beis, and also spake in favour of some rule being recognised for tho employmti.:: of apprentices after they had served their lime.

Mr Py« propose-J p. vf>f.e o: thanks ti .Mr Brame fo.t )-,is address. He had made a tradesman's inspection of iho machinery Imported for tho new dock, and could .ay without fear of contradiction that tho whole of it could have been made here, and £10,000 kept in the colony. He hoped they would enrol themselves in union, and elect men to Parliament who would promote local industries.

Mr Cole seconded the motion. He spoke of the colonial workmen as better, smarter, and more sober than outside workmen, and thought thoy should have every encourage ment

The vote of thanks was carried unanimously, and Mr Brims, after acknow ledging the same, stated that there would be another meetin. on Friday evening, when workers in the metal trade would be requested to attend.

There was alarge actual loss over insurances It was Mr Ehrenfried's intention to rebuild, and carry on business here again as brewer. Constable Bern al»o gave evidence.
