OUT WITH THEM!

Sir, —Radicals have no personal ill-wi to'.Ministers. Radicals and' Socialists ri ioico in the safe return of the l'rcmiei Most of them are glad that the King hs made him a baronet, and they cordiall wish him long life and happiness. 131 in the political arena all personal col siderations are put aside, and the inte: ests .of the country become the one coi sideration of all true men and all tni "Official Year-Book for 1909," pn pared "under instructions" from tho l'r niicr, gives no details of expenditure. In looks uad. We should bo informed ho every penny of our money is expendei Interest and sinking fund,charges aiuoui to je-2,255,3t>5. Very awful; and we ai still borrowing in millions. We are tol that most of us would soon bb starve to death if the borrowing was stoppei What a shocking state of things! 1 fo cot in my last letter to mention auothi item- "Judicial and legal, £36G,-156." Or would think that after spending all th money on judges and magistrates, etc justice should bo cheap; but, as a matti of fact it is dearer in this'country tha in any other J know of. There are ti manv laivyers in Parliament, iho vote should be informed how much of tl plunder each lawyer gels. In regard to recent great loans, th( have cost a big sum to raise. Why ( to Moses in London when the money x<i be obtained in our own country? Tl voters should bo careful to stop tlie visits to London money-lenders. All e, penditure on railways, roads, bridges, ai other improvements enhance tho vah of land; the cost of these improvpinen should therefore ■ be a charge on lai vn luoSi Wages have seriously declined under tl reign°of this Government, but land valu have advanced tremendously. In oth words, landholders have grown richer ai richer, and the wage-earners and sm.i capitalists have become poorer ami poorc Xo man ha? done more to keep down tl value of wages than the Hon. J . Millar. I regret to say. this. Mr. Mill; is a well-meaning man, but very ill-i formed on economic questions, lie ii poses fearful taxes on labour, and laboi products, and these taxes reduce wage lie would go further, and "limit t; profit which a man may make of li product." As you have pointed.out, si this would, of course, have the effect further reducing wages. Mr. Millar next to tho Premier, and has been spok of by one of his colleagues as the Pi mirr's successor. The workers had bett do what they can to save fclienisclws fro so grait a calamity. Thero is only o wiiv of averting it—out with them! Mr A. W. Hogg has tho reputation being one of tho best Liberals in N( Zealand. Wo cannot forget that ho w removed from tho Cabinet ostensibly 1: cause he ventured to openly express 1; view on tho currency .question; but the truth is, Mr. Hogg was too earnest a Liberal for the company ho was in. Voters, remember Hogg, aud out with them! We have seen this Government felling earnest. Liberals to I heir political foes more thini onc-o. That is a very mean trick. Ministers went over .to tho.freeholders, and deserted tho leaseholders of

their party; and they voted with the Opposition cm tho Hour duty. Thus Ministers have boon able to hold, ou to office. Pay them back in their own coin, my Radical friends, by voting for their enomies in tho coming elections. Wherever thero is a. pound ninn up as Labour candidate, a man who abominates fho huge, income tax this Government; levies on small farmers ami the wage-earners, vote for him; but where tho choice is between aii Oppositionist and a Government man voto for the Oppositionist. Jn this way you will the sooner get a new and real Liberal party with a bold and victorious leader. ' Mr. Massny is painted in dark colours, anil as a gentleman with horns, cloven foot, and tail. AVell, if that is tho kind of person lio is, he would not be lons in ollico if returned to power, and his place would be taken, not by any titled person, but by one of the common people, who will know what to do with monopoly and privilege, and do it with an iron hand. Workers, play the game- properly—tako care that in the coming electoral battle the Government men are out. —I am, etc,, EDWARD T. EVANS. August 29, ion. ;
