THE FARMERS.
It is new admitted that the farmers of New Zealand have a controlling influence in the polities of the country. The Liberals, in the past, have held office by the vote of the rural population. The withdrawal of this vote Iras resulted in disaster. We now find an administration in power wihieh intends coquetting with the farmers, in the hope cf bringing ahout a reconciliation. The Labour Party, however, intends making a bid for the support of the farmer. But the farmer, verdant though he may appeal 1 , ihas suincient sagacity to know upon w'hiah side of tho Bread his butter is to be found. He lias been fooled long enough, by the e-pend-thrifts and the plaee-seekers, .and he is determined, to have a direct voice in the management of his own affairs. This he can only do by sticking tenaciously to the party e;f Reform, the party which is pledged to eveiwhanded justice for all classe,-., irrespective of creed or colour.
