-4r Did yon go to see tthe Tokapo off lust night .' My word isn't it disgusting ! Working men clearing out, and move gong liy the Jubilee ! Sirnnp-e ! Very strangp ! Why all
the candidate.^ who wanted to njnt the working clas-es to vote for ''cvii tht^e ago declared that Protection wrt.*? to be the great saviour of New Zealand, give abundant emp oyment and raise wages • Ha, hii. lia ! Poor ignorant devil's! Most of 'Ciri reaiy thought so, and as they hid their lOngnes we 1 hung, and aid the patter wt!i, tin? j.uoplo brlieved 'em ! j Aud tlie lvsu'tof three years of Protection Ims been ? That lO.OOOp-oplo have had to leave the colony for want of wor >, and cro'tfcls are leaving still for Free Trade > ew South Wa ec ( And the only industries which have given additional emp oyinent are the natural produco industries of the colony — the wool, flax, meat, kauri gum, dairies, timber aud so on ! I see Ballance says 'the remedy ia to take some of the tax off tea. Pity he couldn't have been at the wharf yesterday and asked some of the 236 passengers who went away whether they'd stop if the tas. was reduced on tea ! By Jove ! What a laugh there'd have been !
