MR MAXWELL AND PROTECTION.
TO TUB EDITOR Sin, —At Te Awamutu, when the Rev. Mr Mather tackled Mr Maxwell on Protection, the latter admitted that from a farmer’s point of view it was not good, as he acknowledged that farmers would be a little money out of pocket over it, but not very much. He also candidly confessed that the subject was a very deep one, and that he had not been able to study it out to the end. Yet, Sir, he is a Protectionist. Why? Because Protection is a Government cry, I suppose. Farmers should know how to treat him at the poll, as the loss of any sum of money, no matter how small, is a thing of great moment to all of us now-a-days, —I am, Sir, yours &c., Free Trade. Hamilton, 23rd September, 1887.
