Very Plain Speaking

To an unemployed deputation at Sydney recently, Sir Henry is reported to have said that " he was compelled to make the unemployed understand that Governments were not organised to find employment for the people of the country. In no country was this done. Probably, if they were in France, or England, or America they would find an equal proportion of the population in the same position as themselves. For instance, in the great State of New York, not very long ago, there were 100,000 men out of employment whose adversity was just such as they had described, and besides these there were 20,000 women unemployed. No Government could find employment for the people. The only business of the Government — and he was obliged to impress it upon the representatives — was to protect society, to administer the laws, and to see that even justice was held out between man and man. Each member in a free state was supposed to fight his own battle, aud there was no other law for the proper government of a people. Coming to the more practical question he did not wish to discourago them by theorising, because he sympathised with them or anyone else so situated. He must, however, tell them that the Government would not open relief works — whatever the consequences might be, merely to find men employment." — Dunedin Star.
