Protection Meeting at Christchurch
[PKB VNITKD PBBS9 4.?BOCIATI*X.J Chbistchubcii, May 20. Mr John Holmes, M.H.E., delivered a lecture to-night to a crowded audience under the auspices of the New Zealand Protection Association on " The best means of supplying the working men of New Zealand with employment." At the conclusion of the lecture the following resolution was carried unanimously. " That the subject of furnishing employment to the workmen and youths of the colony has become of vital importance, and that in consequence of the low price of wool, grain, and other farm productions, it has become necessary that a larger number of the people should be employed in manufacturing, and so make a home market for the farmers and thus become more self-reliant; that to give an impetus to manufacturing, the Government be requested to revise the Customs tarriff with a view to the fostering and encouragement of the industries and production of the colony."
