SIR JULIUS VOGEL AT CHRISTCHURCH.

Address to his Constituents. [By TELEGRAPH-l-iiiSS ASSOCIATION.] ■ Christohorch, Wednesday. Sib J. Vogei. addressed his constituents in the Oddfp'Wq' Hall to-night. There was a large atteiidauod, ■ FINANCE. ( Referring to the question of finance, he regretted that he was called upon to give an absolute denial to Mr Bryce's statement that the sinking iurid had been seized. He denied that the operation with the Sink ing Fund bad affected New Zealand loans. The fact was that Fronde's book, which had an enormous sale, certain articles in the Standard,: and statements by " A Colonist," such as that ho had contradicted of M r Bryce, were used by persons on the Stock Exchange to •" bear" on New Zealand stocks. He expressed a doubt last yeai whether the estimates' of Cus toms revenue ' would be fulfilled ; he was surry to Bay that the receipts were £120,000 lee? than the estimate, and the estimate was less than the actual revenue of the previous yearVflJe badigtyeri the puee tion of retrenchmentWsVonstorit attention since lait session, and .the Government had-laid the foundation for a cheaper ser vice in future. As a professional service, the Civil! Service waa not an expensive one. As, an evidence that the subject waa not neglected, be might mention that a consolidation was * proposed," whicKJ in the future, .would have enormous effect It was resolved to consolidate under one department, to be .called the Treasury and Inland Revenue, the Departments of the Treasury, Cuetome, Marine, Poet and Telegraph, Stamps, Property Tax, and Land Transfer. If further retrenchment was required they must look' to the two great spending departments, which did not return .revenue,— the Defence and Education.' He did .not think that the country, after the last war panic, would be inclined to relax the attention which wais being paid to the defence of the colony. ( Hia view i that J the Education Department was too costly was well known ; but he was"'bound to «»y that hie opinion did not seem to be that entertained by the majority, of the colony. He regretted to see suggestions about reducing the number of members of the House. As to the hono rarium, he thought Wat when' the time members1 gave in and out of session was considered; the payment they received must be considered moderate. Unless they wish to be governed by rich people only, and to relinquish their freedom and liberty, the colonist should pause before more reducing the honorarium. JJo thought Hansard was too costly, and might be reduced. ■■ ■ ■ ""j BORROWING, c ; ", ' He next proceeded to deal with the bor rowing policy Throughout there wbb no difference of opinion in the Cabinet as to the policy of'borrowlng. Coming to the present position,: the Government had before laid, down the* principle that borrowing should be guided by tlio natural increase of revenue ; and, on that footing, it'was evident that this was the time for reducing borrowing. The funds lor the North leland.Trunk Rail way were nearly provided, »b also the ex tension north of Auckland and the connec tion between Wellington and Napior. Tbeee were large works, and could be expedited as circumstances permitted. The railways' now in band; including the Midland, prac tically ex aii.'ttid the lines in which large di visions of the colony were interested. Loans would now be; reduced,, not only from fear of responsibility, but because nineteen-twentieth* of the colony would hesitate to borrow for the remaining twentieth unless on strong evidence of neces-' Hity, Kuch as for v eful feeders'.. But bor rowing could not altogether ceaee. There were the roads, the expenses of settlement, te)ei>riph extern-ion, purchase of native lands, knd loans to local bodies, Mure or less, however, he hoped-to see theso ob-. tamed locally. " But because they only pushed on the railway snow in bandit, must not ba supposed that the railways already made wore not beneficial. Ho wonld not go into the question of railway management further than to say that In hie opinion if the' system of handing over to commissioners was notadopted, he thought thereshould beelec t ive boards to hear complaints in open court, andtakeevidence thereon.' Management by commtuaioLerßqccom mercialprinciple might create dissatisfaction. Small users of the railway ; wbuld "hot /liker-'tp 'pea', prefer-, ence given to large users, nor would the residents hear small harbours.like^ to see rates lowered to take shipping from them, '.*-•. :.-, rwHUIM'J i \A ■■- ■ : TAXATION. It wasiujportant to remember in connection with the reveu'ue*',f thecqlony itbat he hurt preferred aland' tax aud income tax to a property tax tliree* years since. They after wards ' proposed to assimulate the pro p'erty tax .and income tax. by certain. ,ex;_ emptions For agricultural improvement and for cost of machinery. .The effect of a land tax wonld be different now, because the mortgages bad mostly in new contracts charged one-half per cent., equal to more than a penny in the £ extra in the way i i interest to protect themselves. The un happy borrowers would therefore have to pay twice over, besides making up the amount of tax in personality. There eeemed tdfcbe a growing tendency everywhere to subject personal property to taxation as well as real, and an income tax would catch professional men and men receiving salaries that otherwise would pot b.B productive. 'Whilst we must not act unfairly to capitalists, we must not be scared by complaints which were un reasonable. The speaker: instanced-some complaints which lately appeared in an Auckland paper made by a gentleman just lately irom England. Regarding ths bill fortaking laud for settlement Mr Ballanoa claimed thac he had worked out a practical measure to m»tt . a * long-admitted want which had been neglected, hitherto.because Of tb.e difficulties surrounding it. The Bill did not involve the question ot .land nationalisation The speaker explained bis views on land n .tionalisation, and faid that he was as much opposed to it in 'principle as ever. Ho and Mr Ballance would bring in a Bill for giving women the suffrage. It would not be a Government measure. ■ U, IMPERIAL CONFERENCE. Although nothing immediate would arise out of the Colonial Conference, he con sidered . it- a mattor of importance, and greatly regretted that the Premier had not beeii ablu tv attend. The question of colonial,and Imperial defence would pro bably be the cMef on.-. Whilst the Govern ment had offered to submit to Parliament a vote in cousidn;<lion of two vessels being permahei.wy rttitioued on the New Zea land ooaetr, they hud declined., to enter into any arrargeaaent which would put the Australian eolunies on a different footing to the o'her parts of the Empire There had lately iomo under his notice some facts that prumly uhtouithed him concerning the very large contiibutioo to the taxation of Great Britain i. Men the colonieß were now making; He found that the colony had paid «\jcr £80,000 during the'list fifteen years for stamp dues on debentures and stock, i independent of stamp duties of local bodies' loans ; but- through the income tax much larger payments wera made. He estimated thuton properties situated in New Zealand no less that £5",000 was contribu ted to the Englieh" ihcurno tax-'this year, and thin wn« not counting profits made in England, f on ; New, Zealand tions. • He estimated that from the Austra lasian • Colonies, the English income tax, directly and indirectly, derived little short of half a million. He thought it desirable to submit this matter to the delegates for consideration, if not in connection with any claim for return at any rate in connection with the question of coloniol contribu tion to;defence. The Agent-General had telegraphed his warm approval of the suggestion. He had communicated the matter also to tbe Colonial Treasurers of Melbourne and Sydney. The former inti mated tbat it would be considered by the Cabinet as early m possible. He bad also suggested that the question of a decimal coinage' should be brought before the Con ference. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. Ha had already alluded to the difficulty in framing the Midland Railway contract He felt himself at liberty to say that it was conceived in a spirit equally; liberal to the company and beneficial to the colony.

It was not yet accepted in England. He believed the directors ware.: waiting the arrival of Mr Brodie Hoare. He hoped to hear of its acceptance in a few day. Its chief features were briefly that the whole , of the area was made available. There were alternate blocke for the Government s< for use for th 6 miners, and 50,000 acrea,f0r,,..;..,. special settlement. The great exponee of unnecessary surveys would be saved, and miners would have free and uninterrupted '' opportunity for prosecuting their labours, so that the land would not bo taken until it was absolutely wanted for settlement, and all land found to be required by the miners would be reserved for their use. It was like giving them some years to discover the land required for mining instead of arbitrarily endeavouring to select it at once. In con clusion be wished to Bet before them liood for reflection and consideration. ' Whilst he had not given detailed statements as to the probable Parliamentajy proceedings he had said enough to enable them to arrive at the conclusion that the measures moat de matiding consideration were theßepresenta tion Bill, a Bill to smooth the working of Government loans to local bodies, and a Bill to promote settlement, reforms relating to tho criminal laws, and not least impor tant,- that tbe condition of the finances (hall be thoroughly coneidered, and the (matter of taxation, revenue and the ex-' penditure of the country adjusted. "A vote of thanks and confidence was passed, unanimously. ™ ! ' ' ' : . '■•

TABLE TALK.

Last night of " Betsy." Must go and neo that funny female again. Strange how people ( orowd to see really competent actors go through a lot of tom foolery, isn't it ? Not a bit. It's just as Professor Blackie ../ says ho lias found in his own experience— the, more improper a thing a man does, the .more he is applauded ! The venerable "professor does some things that lotsi of folk think improper—Buch as ' '.'.' singing "Kelvin Grove," on the public platform.' ' " Yes; but he committed a sin in that .r''T-,;pn;which he says he will not repeat. ±~ i.iie innocence of his heart he had sung that song to a Glasgow audience on a Sun day evening, and in doing so he had broken ■ the commandment which says "Thou shalt not throw pearls before swine."
