MR ROLLESTON'S MEETING

TO THK EDITOR. Sir,— l went to hear Mr Rolleston last night and oame to the conclusion that he is no better than the rest. He holds up the party m power to reprehension ; they point to his party as reprehensible — this is the sum total. Mr Rolleston's illustration of the Indiarubber tree is very apt indeed, bat before he can get on a tub and howl at the ornelty and oppression of b'eellng the State to death, it would be as well for him to put on clean clothes end waeh his hands. The wolf cannot expect to bo believed with tho blood of his victims ■ raamlng from his jaws. Victim. to the editor. Sir, — The address which Mr Rolleston delivered last night was very clever m ono way. Those who hoard h'm must have admired the ekill with whioh he informed (?) them on all subjects on which he knew they could not contradict him without bunting up " Hansard." But I do not think they very much admired the manner m whioh he fenced with a couple of questions put to him about "Freetrade'' and "Protection." He attempted to Baddle upon Protection m America, tbe evil effects arising from the want of it m Great Britain and Ireland. Paupers from the latter country were shot on to the American Coast under the name of State aided emigrants, and the pauperism so produced is now credited to Protection m America ! ! It is only recontly sixty of those paupers were returned m one of the In man steamers. What an ardent affection these candidates have for the farmers ! Buy m the cheapest ap'd Bell m the dearest market ! Nothing like Freetrade, But when you ask thefie Freetrade candidates to chow you a country m whioh Freetrade is practised they are conveniently silent. They tell us the farmers are as much entitled to Protection ns others, and so they are. But the best Protection the farmers oan have is, as many consumers as possible at their own doors. It is just like throwing oat a sprat to catch a salmon. Then I would say : " Farmers, place no confidence m these Freetraders . they are all tarred with the Atkinsonian brash." ' Vote for prosperity and j "PROTEOnON." j

HOLLO\YAS*3 PILIiS AND OINTMENT. — The , attention of all sufferers is drawn to these well-known remedies, for the possess con- ( spiouous advantages as a safe and reliable aid m all those emergencies to whioh travellers, < emigrants and sailors are so especially liable. ( They have been largely patronized by way- 1 farers by land and sea, and m fact, by all classes of the community, to their very .great ( advantage. The Fills are beyond all doubt \ one of the most egeotjye remedies ever dis- t oovered for cases of obstinate constipation, oonfirmed indigestion and colic, eompjaints C whioh are engendered by exposure and ir r I regular feeding. The Ointmett will be found B of the greatest servioe m case of piles, ? abscesses, erysipelas, and all kinds ofjlooaS > Ulceration?, a
