Mlt Slot i addressed a laigeaudieuce.it the The.itie Kov.il to night, inidi'i the auspice-, of the LiUial Assuci itmti. Tlieio w.ii i lepiesentative attendance. Mr Stout slid t)i it In- 1) id ple.isme in l.'spo.idm.; to the nivitition ot the Liberal AssoLi.ition to addtess them, the inoie so that he lemeuilieted that m IS7"> he w.is lighting on the Mine udo as the Auckland people hi fighting the battle of pioMiiCLilisin. lie felt sine that among the people who fought so noble a battle of local solf-govcinii'eiit there must be laige respect for liliei.il puuciplfs. While tints willing to ;iddie-.s them h uas in a dilhculty as to wh.it subject to -i .ect, Ins colleague, the Ticasuiei, hiving locuitly spoken on polltlual subjects, and thai own lepiesentatnes also, no doubt, lie thought he should moid geneial politic**. He had, .iftei home thought, selected as the Mibjeet for ad diess "Technical Education." Thespeakei then defined what was. meant by "Teclmic.il Education." He maintained that .is theie weie laws that governed piactical nidustii's, and light ideils tint must be set out befoie one, so also in polities there weie ideals and l.iws which men must discovei and endeavour to leilise, 01 the politician would be dufting about, doing ut one period the opposite of what he had done at .mother penod. So also unless the people had btieh ideals befoie them, they would bo unable to follow consistently any pobticalcieed. Heintended to bet befoui them some of these political ideals, which, though they might be called theoretical, weio yet as piaetical as technical education in industnes. Jle did not believe in Socialism, or people being m.ide good by the mass. They must lely upon individuality. One blanch of his subject would embrace the duties of the State towards the (lovetnment. J''iiht there was the question of the land. He did not believe that the abolition of piivate property in land \vnn possible. He looked upon the land as a monopoly, and that it mv.st be subject to the duection of the State. The land was like the air, and no <>ue generation had a tight to paitition out the earth's sui face for all future time. With the lands that aie left they imcrht pi event the growth of those i:\il.s under which other countries ha\e suffcied. He thought if the people were in earnest m the matter that land might be leserved for tlio benefit of the State. He hoped the present leasing system of land holding would be extended until the State controlled the land, and that the land t.i\ would be restored. Another question which the State \yould have to look after was the conservation of forests. He bad been pained to see the wilful destruction of kauri that was going on, and behoved that if they looked to a futuro Auckland without kauri they would look to a \erv much less prosperous Auckland than they had at piesout. He then went on to discus at some length tho duties of tho St.ito towaids the poople, and tho extent to which it was justified in interfeiing with individual bbt ity. Hedefendedthesupportofsecondaiy schools as being equally with elementaly schools necesnaiy to a peifcet demociacy. The State miu>t be a secular St-ite. Without that, there would bo notiuo national life. JIo championed the causo of political associations as means of maintaining political life. The speech tluoughout de.ilt with goneial pnnciples, avoiding cm rent political question-'. A \oto of thanks was ieturned at the close, on tho motion of Mr Shoia.
