THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Mr Farnall at St James's Hall.

A public meeting convened by the Trades and Labour Council for the purpose of bringing ilr H. W. Farnall and other can. ! didates for Parliamentary honours before the electors was held at St. James's Hall ' last evening. There were about two hun- | dred electors present. Mr Tudehope (Presi dent of the Council) occupied the chair, and read excuses for non-attendance from the j Hon. J. A. Tole, Messrs C. S. Wright and j F. Lloyd. Mr Farnall then addressed the meeting. He stated that the Trades and Labour j Council selected certain.candidates for their special support, and amongst the candidates thus chosen was himself. His candidature was pavticularlv distasteful to a certain class, B»nd especially to the "New Zealand Herald/ which had totally ignored ins j political addresses in every way. Conse- ; quently the Trades and Labour Council determined to hold the present meeting. , He (Mr Farnall) intended to deal chiefly with the present depression, and what he conceived to be the remedy. At the nomi- j nations he had stated what he believed to J be the remedy, and Mr Samuel Vaile, who | followed, stated that the one remedy wits railway reform. In England land monopoly J was the cause of much of the depression that existed, and a similar condition of things existed in New Zealand. Under the present system of taxation in this country, he maintained that the reduction of railway fares would not benefit the State, but the owners of land. What was wanted was land reform, and a reform in the system of taxation. In this colony the bulk of the revenue was raised through the Customs. He contended that a land and income tax should be imposed in lieu of the property tax. The amount raised under the property tax last year was only i £330,000, and he doubted if it served the purposes of a land tax. Half of the property tax was actually raised upon goods that had already paid duty through the Customs, and in no sense or way could it be termed a land tax. The total indebtedness of the colony was given at £59,000,000, and the interest on this was £10,000 per day, which went out of the colony. The present difficulty was to ascertain where this money was to come from. He doubted if we could retrench sufficiently to cover our expenditure. The Customs could not bear any more taxation, and it was his opinion that further revenue must be raised on the land. The Political and Financial Reform Association believed that £300,000 could be retrenched straight away, and they had published the names of candidates who had answered certain questions satisfactorily. His (Mr Far nail's) name was not amongst those men tioned, so he presumed that his answers were unsatisfactory. He read the answers he had given on various points, as pub lished in previous speeches. He was con vinced that if a Liberal majority was re turned to the House a land tax would certainly be imposed. Although the country was suffering from a great depression, large money institutions con tinued to pay large dividends, and he be lieved there was a class which did not feel the depression. (Applause.) If returned,, he would endeavour that- all classes should be treated alike. Some objection had been taken to his candidature because he was not raised in the ranks of labour. His sympathies had, however, always been with the governed classes, and he had brought himself down to the ranks of labour. It had been asserted thab he had only lately adopted these views, and he quoted from Hansard te show that he held similar con victions many years ago. The people of New Zealand could now, if they pleased, sweep away the class that had misruled the colony in the past. (Applause.) The people of Auckland could do a great deal towards ib, and #, the electors of City North would return him (Mr Farnall), they would find that one man could do a great deal. He felt sure, however, that he would find in the House many others holding views similar to his own.

Mr Farnall resumed his seat amidst ap plause, and questions were invited. Mr Tteycroft expressed surprise thab Mr Farnall had made no allusion to protec tion as he knew his sympathies were in thab direction.

Mr Farnall replied that the abstract principle of free trade could not be assailed. The circumstances of the colony were, however, peculiar, and he looked upon protection entirely as a question of wages. The solution of the question was to be found in co-operation. He proposed to put a pro hibitive tariff on all goods that w*e could manufacture here, but nob for revenue pur poses. He thought there should be free trade throughout the British dominions, and a prohibitive tariff against foreign nations.

Messrs Hughes and Fought spoke in sup port of Mr Farnall's candidature. Mr Shera then addressed the meeting. He appreciated highly the honour conferred upon him by the Trades and Labour Coim cil, and he felt assured that, with the ?,id of the artisan class, their candidate would be found at the head of the poll on Monday next. His motto in Parliament would be, equal rights to all and fair play to every man. (Applause.) Mr Moss was received with loud ap plause. He thanked the audience, for his kind reception. The fight thab was going on now was the old fight between Liberal and Tory, and not for ov against the Government as some parties would have them believe. The real question was, whether we were to legislate for the benefit of the whole of the people or to permit of legislation for the few. (Applause). There being these two parties in the State, as far as the Liberal party was concerned, nine-tenths of its strength depended on the working men. The Liberal party always had been and always would be their party. (Applause.) In the present Government were some of the soundest Liberals in the country, and with them were some who had no democratic sympathies whatever. (Applause.) This, unfortunately, led to considerable confusion, and coalitions except for a specific purpose were unsatis factory. One of the most important matters for consideration was the protec tion of local industries (applause), and until we had a prudent and thorough encourage ment of industries the colony would not be prosperous. (Applause.) The system of bringing paid immigrants into the country was entirely wrong, and at the present time tended to overcrowding of the ranks of labour. He was pleased to see that the people were fully aroused, and felt that if the Liberal party would once more unite we would soon see New Zealand as prosperous as it ever was. (Applause.)

Mr Otto moved a vote of confidence in the members chosen by the Trades and Labour Council.

Mi* Roycroft seconded the motion, which was submitted to tho meeting and carried unanimougly.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman tcrmin ated the meeting.

Mr Council at Mount Eden.

Mr J. A Connell «/Jdrested the electors of tiw Ivteu district ksb night in Waite's g#sL M.ount Eden. Ther<-; was a large •ttbtondanee, ovej- one hundred being pre #^nt. Mr Douglas presided, and in open ing the meoting »iaid that a certain section ofthe presw of Auckland had not given Mr Connell fair play. The fact of the gentle man having .reccnoly come from the south niiould carry no weight with tlxo elector*. Mr Coiiuoll w*id thab boforo enter-fog upon any political subjeoto ho would like M A up m Wrf' m r& &t*tt>d to the atntwnontti x>fiM $

the "New Zealand Herald of that morning, in which he was accused of being in a conspiracy working in the interests of the South Island. He need only state that he had again and again given this charge a most emphatic denial. He was going to Parliament in the interests ot Eden and ot the North Island. He then turned to his political programme that he had laid before the electors when he first entered the field, and briefly referred to the different points. The Government wished to increase the taxation of the people enormously, but! he was sure the country would not sanction it. When the House assembled it would have to give its whole and undivided attention to the cutting down of expenses. He referred to the de crease in the Customs revenue, which in his opinion should be carefully nursed. The financial proposals of the Government were sufficient to throw them out. Their proposals had the effect of shaking the con fidence in the stability of the colony in the Home money market, and had impaired our credit. The present price of our de bentures in London was proof of this. The colony only wanted fair play, which the present Government would not give it. Sir Julius Vojrel had done a great deal of good for the colony, but he was eyed with suspicion by English capabilities, and the effect was bad. 'But the wild and visionary ideas of other members of the Government had done far more harm. The Land Acquisition Bill had done a great deal to shake confidence in our public men. That these high men were given to wild ideas as to land tenure, was sufficient to show they were not men of stability and sense. He flattered himself that he was well ac quainted with all matters referring to the land question, as he had had twenty years experience in it. As regards protection, they had his views before them. They were his views ten years ago, and he was not in the habit of changing his opinion. He would give every possible facility to encourage local industry of a legitimate kind. What we wanted were the natural industries of the land encouraged. Our vast miueral resources should have far more attention paid to them by the Government, He would uphold Mr Vaile's system of railway management. It should be tried without any stipulation. Mr Connell spoke at some length on the borrowing policy, going over the ground traversed in his previous ad dressee. We could not stop borrowing all of a moment, but he would lay down as a hard and fast rule, that any railway works, no matter where situated, should as soon as they became payable be stopped. He favoured a national and efficient educa tionally stem, such as we had now ; the only change he felt inclined to make was to have the age for town schools to be six years He w-ould on no account do away with secondary education. If we did, the poorer classes would be the snfl'erersinthelongrun. He was a strong advocate of local option, but he had modified one of his opinions. He had replied early in the campaign to a question that he was in favour of using the electoral roll for local option, but on recon sidering this he preferred to support the ratepayers' roll. (Applause.) Mr Connell answered a number of ques tions.

Mr G. G. Roberts proposed a vote of thanks to and entire confidence in Mr Connell. He was of opinion that if Mr Connell had come out as he was doing now, when he first started, he would have had a walk-over for Eden. Mr Mitchelson was a-nonentity in the House so far as speaking went. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr J. Smyth seconded, and on it being put to the meeting, it was declared carried by 65 to 15. Mr Connell returned thanks, and a vote of thanks to the Chair man brought the proceedings to a close.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH THE LAKE.

Meeting of Ratepayers.

A special meeting, convened for the pur pose of considering Captain Webster's scheme for establishing a direct steam ferry service between Auckland and Shoal Bay, was held last night in the Lake scliool" room. There was a large attendance both of ratepayers and of gentlemen from town.

Mr W. H. Shakespear was called to the chair, and in opening the proceed ings he took the opportuity to expatiate upon the importance of the scheme for bringing the Lake into rapid communication with Auck land by means of Shoal Bay. It was simply selfish nonsense to say that the scheme would injure the North Shore. It would benefit that district and also North cote, in respect of which Captain Webster had a smaller scheme to afford easier ac ceas there. The Chairman concluded by praising the beauty of the district and the oxcellent condition of its roads, and by in troducing Captain Webster (late Harbout- Master of Timaru). Captain Webster expressed gratification at tho influential nature of the meeting. He assured them that he had no ulterior motive in ventilating his scheme. Having been appointed to a position in con nection with the new ferry service, he had occupied the time on his hands while waiting for operations to commence by taking steps to ascertain if he could promote the interests of the Company by testing the feasibility of establishing com munication with Shoal Bay. His attention was first attracted to the project by the re port of Mr McGregor (Harbour Board Engineer). Captain Webster then pro ceeded to read out the report referred to. He continued his remarks by saying that he saw the Engineer's scheme involved the outlay of a groat sum of money, but he had seen his way to very consider ably minimise that outlay. He could show a great reduction upon the 225,000 cubic yards of material which the Engineer thought would have to be removed, and he could also show a great saving upon the alleged cost of £12,000. He perceived that it was necessary to obtain an intimate ac quaintance with the set of the tidal cur rents and the nature of the tides, and the result of 14 days' close observation by day and night was shown upon a chart, which he then proceeded to exhibit and describe. He intended to provide for a channel 12ft. wide, and the set of opposing tides and currents would tend to prevent any silting up, and the continual fretting away of the banks would tend to make it a practically straight channel. He had been careful to take°advantage of it rather than to run counter to natural forces. He had adopted means to ascertain the nature of the bottom —whether easily worked ov not—and he had taken specimens of stuff along the whole course at depths varying from 33 feet to 3 feet). Captain Webster here ex hibited a dozen small bottles of tilt, and after saying that he had found no natural difficulties in the way of dredging, he re sumed his explanation of his charts. He also explained his proposed mode of dredg ing, and the construction of a wall or breast work with the dredged material. The wall would utilise the spoil without interfering with riparian rights. The next point was the cost, and after fully allowing for excavation, dredging, etc., he had estimated it at £6,000. Mr Lundon, of Boy lan and Lun don, had made an independent estimate, and ho was gratified to lind that this gen tleman estimated the cost at even less than £6.000. (Mr Lundon's letter was here read), Mr Lundon had allowed a fair margin for preliminary expenses. He esti mated that tha excavation to be taken out ol the channel would be somo whcjre about 60,000 cubic yards, as against 226,000 cubic yards estimated by hh' McGregor j but then the latter scheme involved dredging up to Barry's Wharf. The cpst of this dredging he estimated at mgyS} and as he bod said £6,000 would

cover the whole scheme. He had obtained a legal opinion as to the powers necessai y for undertaking the scheme, and ab tht> foreshore was vested in the Harbour Board it would be necessary to approadf that body in order to secure its consent to ale" Wative enactment to overcome L aripaS right. In condasion he expressed his thanks to MrLundon and Mi ShakeJpear for their kind assistance m the matter. His own object was merely_to open up the ferry service trade, and what he had done had been at his own expense. He was prepared to answer any question that might be asked. „ . . w .l In answer to the Chairman, Captain Web ster said the proposed channel would be 50 feet wide and 5 feet deep, and that lie in tended to dredge it for a distance of 7,300 feMr Shea wanted to know if the Chairman had done any mudlarking at Shoal Bay. If he had, he would know how difficult it would be to keep the channel open. Cap tain Webster had not cleared up this P°C laptain Webster, in reply, would not guarantee that it would not fill up m a day, a month or a year. His own opinion was that the scheme was a good one. Mr C S. S. George said the scheme was of great concern to all of them, and ho therefore thought that a committee of resi dents should be appointed to go thoroughly into the whole scheme and report upon its feasibility. Captain Webster and Mr Lundon should be associated with that committee. They should know exactly what was required of them. Mr T. W. Seaman corrected an error in the press to the effect that the distance from Barry's Wharf to the breastwork would be 2,400 yards. It should be 2,400 feet.

Mr Shea thought the scheme was prema ture in the circumstances of the colony. They had a good coach service, and he made bold to say that the owner did not make enough to pay for the horse feed. They were taxed already to the extent of 30s per acre, and he did not know, there fore, how they were t« find money to pay interest on the capital. Besides, by the time a man reached the breastwork he could be half way to Devonport. We were too prone to spend money on i things that were not necessary. He could get to Auckland from his place within an hour, and in the name of common sense what more did they want? Looking to tho small area of land that would oe benefited, he was sure it could wait for 20 years. The Chairman suggested the advisability of appointing a deputation to wait upon the Harbour Board. That body should, undertake the work, and if they did so it would cost the district very little. It would benefit the whole coun try as far back as Waiwera. If Shoal Bay were opened up 10,000 people might come into the district. He would not be the mean man to throw a single stumbling block in the way. The Lake had been kept too far in the background. The Chairman concluded by inviting Mr Mays to speak. Mr Mays said ho was only concerned about the financial point. That was the trouble. If ib were overcome, the work would be a most important one. He had done ten years' penal servitude on the Harbour Board, and he thought the Lake should be represented upon it. Mr Mc- Gregor's report with its estimate of £12,000 made the Shoal Bay scheme look very formidable, and it seemed hopeless to go further. But Captain. Webster's was a, very much more modified scheme, and if the riparian rights could be gob rid of, the difficulties would be so much the less. He would be happy to make one of a deputa tion to the Harbour Board on the subject. The great difficulty in the way of induc ing the Board to take action would be the impossibility of offering them any adequate return for their outlay. It would be useless to ask this, but they might reasonably be asked to assist. The Waite mata County Councilcouldassist by creating a special district and levying a rate to pay interest on expenditure. It would be mani festly unfair to tax the whole Lake district. Mr Wormall spoke in approval of the scheme.

ilr G. P. Pierce agreed with the remarks upon the beauty of the district, but it was a most unapproachable place. He wondered that no one proposed to run out a wharf from the magnificent Lake boach, which would then become a favourite resort on holidays and Saturday afternoons. _ If Captain Webster's scheme could be carried out at the estimated co3t, it would un doubtedly greatly enhance the value of the land. He concluded by moving, " That a deputation wait upon the Harbour Board for the purpose of submitting the modified plans of Captain Webster, to ask for their support, and to obtain from them, if pos sible, a promise thab it will be carried out; and that such deputation consist of Messrs Oliver Mays, R. Lundon, W. Thome, Cap tain Webster, Messrs T. Seaman and W. H. Shakespear, and the mover." The Rev. A. McCallum, in seconding the motion, spoke warmly in supporb of bhe scheme.

Captain Webster explained that the ex tent of the land to be reclaimed would be 250 acres.

Mr George supported the motion. The Chairman suggested that if the scheme was established the company could charge 9d as fare, and pay say 3d of it to the local Board. The ratepayers would then have very little to complain of. Mr W. Thorne assured the ratepayers thab the sympathies of recent purchasers of land in the district were thoroughly with them in this matter. He thought, however, they did nob aim high enough. Their right course was to go straight to the Harbour Board and ask them to do the work. It was quite erroneous to imagine it to be a body which simply spent upon reproduc tive works. The construction of the Calliope Dock was a case in point. He urged them, however, to press the Harbour Board to take up the work, and then they would have nothing to pay at all.

The resolution was then put, and agreed to nem. con.

The Chairman read a letter 'from Major Mair expressive of sympathy with the scheme.

Mr Seaman then proposed a vote of the besb thanks of the meeting to Captain Webster, for the trouble he had taken in the matter. Mr Harrow seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously.
