The Wairarapa Daily TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1891.

In earnestness, in experience, and in intelligence aeneral Booth is probably unrivalled as a social reformer, and yet there are not wanting, meo without his experie ce, without his intelligence, and without his earnestness, who are prepared to "go one better," and to throw into the wa3te paper basket bis magnificent scheme. General Booth's great project may be a success or the stepping stone to a further project which will upraise the submerged millions, but what is the counter project of a Masterton demagogue who pits liimsslf against the hero of the Salvation Army. It is declared by the lopal leading light of the Labour party that the remedy for the submerged Is a political one. The foundation of the disease is the greed, cupidity, intense selfishness of the class rulers of England, and the only radical cure, we believe, will be their prompt dethronement. This result can be brpu.'ht within reasonable distance if the British people do their duty at the next general election.

| There is a strong contrasfc*between General Booth and the Masterton Reformer ! The General believes in the wise ruling the ignorant, the Masterton Reformer believes in the ignorant ruling the wise. The General invites all classes to carry out his project, the Masterton Reformer sets class against class to carry out his diabolical design. We do not complain that the Masterton Reformer should confiscate the landed estates of England lor the benefit of the submerged millions, but it is hopelessly impossible to help them, in this way. Land haß fallen to half its former %alue in the Mother Country, and has become a drag in the market from the taxes which have been laid upon it. The submerged millions could not bear the holding English acres, and we question whether, in time, the submerged thousands of New Zealand will be able to hold land in tlijs Colony. The Government are placing burdens on 'he land which will make it unprovable foe tjjg poor men of this Colony. Jf only (and were left free and untrammelled, we should havje no spfciuprged population in this colony. But it is prppjsely this population that the present Government are encouraging.
