FIRST EDITION Wairarapa Daily Times. [Established 1874.] THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1894. THE WAIRARAPA UNEMPLOYED.

According to Hansard there was a 1 somewhat sharp debate in the Houso * recently re the Wairarapa unemployed, between Mr Buchanan and the Hon. IV. H, P. Reeves. Mr Buchanan asserted that it was :, within his own knowledge that some of the men came from the district represented bytlic Minister of Labor, ® and to this Mr Eeeves replied by ' denying that any men in his constituency had been sent to the Wairarapa, but admitted that some had been sent to the Masterton electorate, " and represented that Mr Hogg, if anyone, was tlm aggrieved person. TLespecious character of Mr Beeves' defence is very apparent. A stream r of unemployed flows through both ' electorates from day today which ' has been fed by men brought up from Canterbury by the Minister for Labour, employed for a short I time in tho bush, and then turned adrift to become pensioners on resident landed proprietors. Then the Hon. Mr Reeves represented Mr Buchanan as coming to the House to appeal for mercy on behalf of great landowners, and it is a pity that a person occupying the responsible position of a Minister of tlio Crown should resort to palpably dishonest inuendo. Mr Buchanan made no appeal on behalf of landowners; he simply urged the Government to s assist the distressed unemployod. Landowners are quite capable of looking after themselves, and do not go to the Goverrment for assistance ; unless they have some Pomahaka " |and which they want to get rid of. Mr Buchanan simply represented the claim of certainunfortunates who had been pitchforked jnto his constituency to relieve tho constituency represented by the Minis ter of Labor. Ho was sorry for the distressed unemployed, a sentiment which , evidently jyp not shared by the , Minister for Labor, Mr Reeves , finished his speech by declaring tjjat " if Mr Buchanan would devote him : self to business,—if he would fry to , master facts, instead of speaking so often, and delaying the business pf the country,—he would know more ; than he did about the state of labour in the Wairarapa, and would do less to stop the Government from carrying out remedial measures which were calculated to benefit the working men, and stop that evil of want of employment which he talked about, and which he and his friends had caused for years past by monopolising the soil of the country," Now, Mr Buchanan iB essentially a man of business, and a mail who masters facts, while Mr Reeves is esSeiijiaJlyaßpeobup theorist, and a man! Who masters ' f Sc ( tion, Mi; Puchanaii. knows'iili about!'the stiit'e of labour in tHe Wairarapa j and Jlr fteeyei? nothing at ail about it. The partial monopoly ' pf the soil of this district by Mr Buchanan and his friends has been

'ho main source of employment that iaa been available in the past, a'pd Mr Eceveshimself is personally mo'.ye responsible than any other man in ;he Ministry or in the Colony for tho learth of employment which now n'evails, His legislative blights aave killed employment through the length 'and breadth of the Colony, [f ho and his colleagues went out of jffice to-morrow ten thousand employers could find billets for twenty thousand of the unemployed, But while tho panic lasts which he and bis friends have brought about no man dare.launch out in any business or occupation. Eain fell at Tenui yesterday. Eketahuua Anglicans want a but pliced choir. . Tho Manager of the Masterton 6ns Works, Mr J. Collins, has sent in his resignation to the Borough Council.

Of tho many and varied displays of men's mercery for this season, probably that shown by Mr J, L, Murray, of Mnstcrton, takes pride of place. Certainly a liner assortment of shirts is not to be found in Masterton, and ranges in nil styles and shades from those of the ordinary cotton material to very fine silk, tho latter so much so that thoy can be put in the spaco of an ordinary pocket handkerchief. In silk tics and every description of summer goods, Mr Murry's stock is worthy of inspection. The early arrival of tho various exhibits for the Horticultural Show now being held in the Drill Hall, made things lively this morning in the vicinity of tlie building. So far as could be seen during the arranging of the exhibits the Show will be a good one, and despite the fact that tho present is perhaps the most backward season for years, the display will be creditable to the district, MrW, DcLislc notifies that ho is again buying wool this season in clips ol any size at current prices.
