INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

A meetl- g- of those interested in the opera tions of the Auckland Industrial Association •was held last night in Bell's buildings, Wyndham-street. About 200 persons were in attendance. Mr O. Fraser occupied the chair, and opened the meeting by reading an exposition of the principles ot the Association for the benefit of thoso present. The Chairman said that he need nob de tain the meeting* with a lengthy speech. It must be patent to all that if their indus tries were properly fostered the hundreds ot men now out of work would iind ample em ployment, and the benefit that would result would be general. At lirst the proceedmp would be costly, but iv the end it would be a gain all round. Competition would soon reduce the price of the goods manufac tured in the colony. What; tbey re quired was a prohibitory tarift on all articles that could be manufactured m the colony. What they wanted was to make them in the colony, and thus create ■employment. For revenue other taxes -might'be laid on that would be better lor the community. ■ Mr Bell then rose to propose the hrst resolution. In doing so, he said he wished it to be understood that ho did nob wish to appear unpatriotic, but he thought that they should be economical in their expendi ture for defence purposes. With regard to education, ho thought that a saving ot £100,000 might be made in that Department. 'He found that £419,247 had been expended upon the education ot .80,302 children. That 4meant that each child cost £6 5s ncr head. He maintained that the salaries "of the teachers at present were out of all proportion with the average earniugs of other portions of the community. Ho thought that children should not go to school before they were*seven years of age. He contended that the children could still, with economy, have free education, and still the saving be effected. Ho then quoted from tho Customs returns to show the thousands of pounds that were sent out of the country for articles that could bo manufactured in the colony. , lie also thought that an immenso saving might be made in the Defence Department, and still be well prepared to defend themselves*. What they wanted was to find out where to apply the pruning knife. At present thoy could not really understand the ramifications of a proper industrial community. They could prepare many of the articles now ex ported, and then send them away with profit. Mr Rell also quoted from the Vic torian Customs returns, to show the tariff imposed for tho purpose of hedging round their home industries. The question had been asked why ho was against Sir Julius Vogel when his Government had appeared to "favour the objects of the Association ? Well, he must say that ho considered Sir Julius Vogel the bar sinister on the fair escutcheon of New Zealand, and he hoped |&_t they had seen the last of him on the Ministerial Benches at Wellington. (Loud applause.) Ho was also rather doubtful of Sir Robert Stoub, bub in Mr Ballance they had a man who realised what was the basis of a country's true success. He then moved, "That this meeting is of opinion that the first plank of the political platform of this Association during the coming election shall be the clear and distinct adhesion by the candidates to whom this Association shall give its support to such a revision of thetarifl'as will effectually promote all local industries throughout the colony." Mr Brame seconded tho resolu tion. In doing so he referred to the fact that when the new tariff was proposed the Evening Stak. in a leader wisely criticised the policy, and objected to a tariff put on merely for revenue purposes. The time had now come when action must be taken ; the time for speaking had gone past. It might not be known to all that, during the 10 years . ending ISBS, 15 millions of , goods had been imported into tho colony in excess of the exports ; that meant that annually £1,000,000 had been paid in foreign labour markets, while tho'people in tlie colony were wanting employment. They should rsturn only men who would favour their platform laid down by the .Association. Thoy should be sure that they got men who would be true to their pledge. Trie then read a quotation from an election circular signed by Thomas • Peacock. The clause quoted referred to a protection tariff, and bonuses to industries. He asked •had that promise been kept. (Groans and cries of " No ; but we'll roast the Peacock this time.") He did not think that the country was entirely without hope. They had cye2*y element of success amongst them. The people were fair representatives of the . working classes of the old country. Per sonally he was in favour of selling. the whole of the railways right off hand. (Cries* of "No, no.") He considered that the railways added to tlie burdens of the country, and £25,000,000 had been offered for their rail ways. That would reduce the taxation by nearly £2,000,000 per annum. At present they wero losing nearly £150,000 per annum on their railways through bad administra tion. As some uproar here commenced, Mr Brame resumed his seat.

Mr Samuel Vaile next addressed the meet Ing in support of the. motion. He con sidered that the Government had recognised that the local industries required fostering. But this all meant additional taxation. What they wanted to do was to sc arrange the tariff that it benefited the industries. When he was at Welling - ton he saw that the greatest attention was paid to the export trade instead of the internal trade, which he considered was more important to the country at large. He had been in Auckland for 44 years, and the province had been in existence 47 years, and yet they had not a city in the interior. How could--they have internal trade with out internal cities ? He objected to selling the railways. It simply meant that a foreign syndicate wanted to put their paw on the country. He contended that the railway system should. and could be managed as easily and as well their post office system. The price of labour was at the bottom of all the trouble. It was the low price of labour in foreign markets that made them able to flood this market with cheaply manufactured articles. Still he did not favour long wages. They .mould '_ try to keep up the price of labour here, and ' raise it in Europe. One great trouble was the want of administrative abilities in their representatives in Parliament. At present they had too many talkers without business or financial abilities. Mr H. Jury next came forward and «ombated the idea that protection would low er the price of labour. They must have their industries protected, and:they should not go away from that'doctrine to argue other matters. Mr Otto spoke with regard to the French protective tariff mentioned iii the Even ing Star. Let them protect themselves in a similar mariner. Let them build up their flag and have the South Pacific for them selves. Still he was not an out and out protectionist, for he rather, favoured the idea of the survival of the fittest., He also favoured Mr Vaile .theory with regard to the railways, ' for. that would assist in settling the land, and thus • raise up a nation°of consumers as well .as manu facturer*.. • The Chairman said that they did not want English labour rates in these new. countries. England's labourers had never received their fair share of tho immense wealth resulbing from their work. ; The motion was then put and adopted, ~Mf Lodder n*"*-. moved, " That in the re- I-.i-_-3sjspensable that, *---W^eouited __!_-!_

be affiliated with all other kindred societies. Mr Bell considered that Mr V,aile's ques tion about the railways was an important one. Ho hoped that Mr Vailo would give an exposition of his views in that room on Tuesday evening next. Mr Vaile expressed his willingness to give such an address, bub he would require more time to prepare it. lb was seeing the misery of the people in London that hrsb caused him to consider the transib question, aud ho was sure that tho poorer classes would be the ones" who would betiefib mostly by his proposed system. A vote of thanks to tlie Chairman termi nated the proceedings.

I thipk, Mr Editor, if there is one strictly kept holiday it will be sufficient for aIL purposes, but let it bo kept by all classes. Let hotels and restaurants be closed as well as other business places, so that the employees of these places can en joy the Jubilee as well as other classes of the community; and if any of the above places of business are opon, let the public show their disaproval by not patronising them on that day.

Protection of Local Industries.

(To the Editor),

Sir, —I have perused the several issues of your paper lately, wherein this question has been discussed by our wise men, who seem to belong to tho class of those who earn their living as importers ; and I can not help thinking that there is a good deal of the sentiment—you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. I submit, with due respect to their expressed views, that it is all important to the general mass of tho people resident in the colony that the pro posal to increase the duty on all goods that are or may be manufactured in the colony should not meet with opposition. What, but protection to a certain extent, is to help to save the colony from bankruptcy ? Has not protection on local industries principally mado America ? And what about our sister colony, Victoria? Why, for three years the Government doubled, in some cases, what is now proposed as an in creased duty on imported goods, and Vic toria is now able to cope with any foreign market. I say, let no candidate for elec tion in the future show his nose before the working classes unless he has proved, or is prepared to prove, himself a protec tionist in, favour of local industries.—Ygurs, &c., A. VV. Bennett. ■

Auckland Wharf Facilities.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In your issue of the Bth inst. you have a letter signed " Tally Clerk," the contents of which fully bear out my experi ence. •Aucklanders must swallow their pride and follow in the footsteps of Welling ton in the method of receiving cargo from English vessels. Wellington is doing her best to be the premier shipping port-for the North Island. For instance, observe the way she has taken the direct steam service from us. The masters of ships compare Auckland with Wellington, and sum up most unfavourably for Auckland. If Auck land intends to be llic port of the North Island she must wake up, and that very quickly. Nature has given her great ad vantages —so many, indeed, that tho people in authority think she wants no further assistance. Wellington taking our trade is the thin edge of the wedge, and our merchants, Harbour Board and Chamber of Commerce should be ashamed to allow another port, and that so distant, to interfere with our direct trade to London. The fact that' the merchandise sent from this port to Wellington for tranship ment to. England showing only on, .Wel lington's 'Oritvyard returns, should' in itself arouse them from their apathy.—lam, etc.j Agent. 77 ;_ j. ;,. 77 0

Earth From Shelly Beach Road

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As Cr. Evans. states '. that ' the cori : tracts for tlie cutting do^n'of Jervois and Shelly Beach Roads were let upon the understanding that the earth was to f be de T posited in the adjacent streets, how is it that I .find some tons of earth deposited upon his private allotment? Then he states this Avork-will be one of the greatest improvements in Ponsonby. Does he

mean his allotment or the adjacent streets ? Further he states that all this is done at no cost to the Council. Then is the Council paying nothing for these contracts, or him for the levelling of his land—which ?—lam, Ratepayer.

To the Editor: Sir,—The explanation of ! Cr. Evans respecting the alleged L filling on 1 his private property is, nob satisfactory. Instead of replying to the question he treats the ratepayers to a dissertation upon the terms of the contracts arid the great improvements they will effect.

Change in School Books.

(To the Editor),

SiR.-Some time ago I noticed m yom columns that the Board ot Education had decided to discontinue the uso ol the pre sent reading books, and, after the expira tion of the current year, adopt a new series As yet, however, there has been no mention of fixing what series is to suc ceed the present one.- Would it nob be advisable for the Board to no longer post pone this matter, but, at their earliest con venience, decide what the new series is to be so that schools whose examinations take placo during the September quarter, may obtain them and not bo inconvenienced by Win" a break in tho series of readers during the Standard year.— I remain, &c, Commi-TEK Man.

The Jubilee Fund.

(To tho Editor.)

SIR, —On reading over tho different resolu tions proposed by v few ladies on .June Bth at a small meeting (in point of numbers) called by the Mayoress at the suggestion of Lady Jervois, having for its object the es tablishment of a fund that could be devoted to found some kind of institution of a bene volcnt and useful nature - without going over the separate resolutions again wo might say that, tho two which seemed the most practicable wero thoso proposed by Mrs James Smith and Mrs McCosh Clark, lie latter proposed, "That, the fund should bo for the assistance of women of all classes who are in distress." Mrs.). Smith, "That the money be expended in founding a nurses homo for the purpose of training girls as nurses to benefit all classes." Both reso lutions undoubtedly are for most.commend able objects. In Mrs Clark's, the difficulty would be to draw tho line in charitable cases for the assistance of women of .-ill classes. Tlie definition is too near an approach to tho Refuge and Ladies' Benevolent Society. Contributions, therefore, would bo got in with the greatest difficulty, people appealed to alleging that institutions existed to meet such "cases. Mrs Smith's resolution is original, and if it can be carried out a great want would bo supplied. Such an establishment exists iiv most largo towns, and why should wo bo behind our neighbours ? All medical men well know that death is often staved off by good nursing. ' Besides, it is woll known that such institutions urq partly self-supporting, and further contributions could bo obtained from the public, I feel quite sure, as most peoplo asked would willingly subscribe ac cording to their means, with a feeling that they do not know how long before such desirable aid as here represented might be necessary to their own very existence. I agree with Mrs Dudley Ward that this question should not be considered as settled until a moro representative meeting had been held, and would suggest that the Mayoress, through our worthy Mayor, should call a public meeting, to be held (to save expense) in his own Mayoral Chamber, where the different clergy, several Catholics, &c, could represent thoir parishes, ono from tho V.M.C.A. and other institutions. Pro fessions and all classes could givo their minds and votes, as such an institution is to all and for all. — I am, etc., Joittf Wilki.s, F.K.C.S. Queen-street, June 10th, ISS7.

"He That Doctoreth Himself Hath a Fool for His Patient."

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—-Your correspondents, " St. Andrew" and " Cold Water," have evidently misread my communication, and are " ab sea " with regard to its purport. The undoubted value of hydropathy as a remedial agent in typhoid and other diseases, when used under skilled direction,hns never beon ques tioned. To say, however, that this or any other known remedy is a specific for typhoid is asserting that which is contrary to tho opinion and experience of those who aro competent of forming a correct judgment upon this rp.ies.ion. Further, that this treatment, if applied indiscriminately and without judgment, may be fraught with grave and immediate danger to tho patient, is also a truism. Votaries and godclists to fixed remedies and doctrines invariably spoil the claims of their cures by asserting too much for the virtues of their idols. Hydropathy, allopathy, homi .opatby, elec trolysis, massage, can each take a meritori ous place amongst the acknowledged remedies for afllicted mankind. All havo a substratum of truth underlying their ac credited action in health and disease. To assert, however, that any one system ol treatment is a specific form, or i-i adapted to relieve all the ailments' of our race, is making a statement ab variance with truth, and reveals an intelligence' either re markable for its absence, or else dulled by the surroundings of an unhealthy atmosphere of prejudice and ignorance. The skilful physician adopts all sys tems in turn, as the icliosynacrasies of bis patients may indicate. Typhoid is a specific disease, having a fixed course of symptoms (more or less modified in different consbibu tions) and sequels. Nabure will, unaided, cure the majority of cases. To guide her, whilst being prepared for emergencies, is the object of modern medical treatment. The disease onqc grafted in tho system can under no circumstances be anticipated or eradicated in the manner described by "Cold Water" in his letter. Now, .as to the purport of my former commuhicabion,ib was instigated by the knowledge that a pabient suffering from cancer was made very ill; indeed through taking a mixture of sulphur and mercury, which had been recommended in tho " Her ald " as a cure for tha. disease a short time ago. Another poor victim to this dire dis ease was about to.. gain a similar experi ence, when fortunately wiser counsels pre vailed, and the invalid was, thereby spared a few months longer amongst her relatives and friends. Last Saturday the "Herald" published a remedy for consumption, whilst it was the Star that gavo prominence to this cure for typhoid, with its extravagant and irrational pretensions. When ib is re membered that tho publio at large, moro especially the country sebtlers, are ofbimes bub too eager to believe in .so-called re medies, when published in the news columns of the press, it can readily be conceived that grievous bodily harm to the afllicted ones, as well as heart-burning to relatives, and friends, are but too often the outcome of vaunted remedies for hopeless diseases. " St. Andrew's " quotations of the views of medical men as to the value of medicine are inapplicable and out of date, since tliey were the opinions of another age, when' the great founders of our present system of medicine inveighed against the errors of the, past, and effectually destroyed the doctrines of those who held that iii bleed ing and mercury lay the true panacea for ali .the . evils to which human flesh Avas heir. ,If "St. Andrew" -and "Cold Water" are dissatisfied, with the practitioners of the remedial' art, as licensed by the State at the presenb day, they should agitate for reformations and reorganisation amongst the followers of Esculapius, also for an alteration of their tenets as founded upon experience.. On the other hand, if they believe, with the groat majority of intellectual mankind, that scientific medicine has made wondrous strides in our time, they should relegate all questions appertaining to disease and its treatment to those'whoso'province it isto undertake the care of the same, and not promote tho cruel doctrine that suffering humanity should be lefb to the mercy of ignorant and irresponsible delusionists. — St. Leo er, Parnell.

"THE WATERBURY."

Why should I give £5 or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing re pairs, and at tlie best of times cannot be relied on, whon I can buy a perfectly re liable, strong, and handsome Waterbury Watch for 13s Od?

A well-regulated youn^ man — An " Always on Time" young man— A "Just on tho Minute, good for all's in

it" — A Watorbury Watch young man

Because tho Waterbury (prico 13s6d)i. a simple but reliable timekeeper, do not be gulled into buying any other nickel watch on the assurance" that it is equal to a Watorbury. Tho Waterbury principle is a patent, and cannot be imitated. Many " cheap " metal watches aro offered from os each to as many pounds, which are not worth picking up in tlio street. There is only ono Waterbury, remember! ;• Messrs E. Porter and Co. have arranged with one of tho leading jewellers to repair any Waterbury at a fixed, prico, according to damages, of from Od to ,2s Gd—no repair on any account to exceed the latter sum. Any watch mailed to him will be promptly repaired and roturned. Postage and cost of repairs will, therefore, never exceed 3s Gd to people living in the remotest part of the colony. The Waterbury ia the cheapest keliable timekeeper in tho world, and costs less to repair. Hundreds of thousands of these, watches have never cost their ownors a penny since thoy lirst acquired them.

Waterbury watches the world. Why does Waterbury watch the world ? Because the world needs well watching, And the Waterbury is the best watch of all,

The Watorbury Watch is not a jewelled all-over-patent-half-cock-goas-you-plcaso hair-trigger-chronograph. It is a strong, handsome, serviceable, well-finished, nickel plated, reliablo timekeeper for 13s 6d.
