CHEAP LAND FOR THE PEOPLE.
(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.)
Sib, —" Bon Ami's " letter, and Sturge's investigation re reduction of rents on farms of England, in your Saturday's issue are to the purpose. It is such writings as these on the grand. question of the day that will open the eyes of the ppople, and provoke action on their part. It will also soon make your paper what it should be, —a paper for the masses. Go on, Sir, in the same line, and I feel certain that your journal wili soon double its circulation. Be not afraid to offend the goldocracy and the land sharks; the people cannot eat gold. ]No community can pos«ibly be prosperous as a whole, unless the labouring population are doing well. If tWy are fully employed as producers from the land, then, as a matter of course, every trade and profession must be prosperous also, but if the working classes are oppressed as they now are, and consequently poor, then tL« whole community suffers more or less. Let the cry of all be at the coming elections—cheap land for the people of the .North Island, or sepabation. —I am, &c,
Sec. Libebal Association.
