("PFo tlaulay's New Zealander is stop-
p?spnd t the Grand hotel in this city.
He isjcj a member of the New Zealand
parliament from Wanganui, named A.
D. W'i'Jllis, who has been making a trip
arounMl the world. He told yesterday
liow tghe woman's suffrage, the govern
menO ownership of railroads and tele
graph! lines, government insurance,
government banking, co-operation in
publul works, the doing away of large
. land foldings, Henry George's single
's tax theory, and other things only
dreanift of in the rest of the world are
lrsO-Si in the practical every-day life
of that southern land. All these things,
Se says, have been brought about bv
their legislature and are far beyo.t
the experimental state. Speaking last
night at the Grand, Mr. Willis said:
"The mass of the people is the first
consideration with us altogether, and
everything is being done for them,
from the government ownership of
railroads down to loaning money on
land. I have been for some montUs
traveling in different countries In Eu
rope and the United States, and find
that everywhere a great deal of Interest
is taken in our government on account
of the many new departures we have
made and the desire to know how our
new experiments, as they regard them,
are coming on. But we have got far
beyond the experimental stage. I have
received the greatest kindness from
Americans everywhere, and I am leav
ing the country with a very feeling
toward the people, but with a decided
dislike for their system of government,
by which wealth is represented and
not the people.
"With us, all that our government
Is for is the mass of the people. We
are-very radical. There is no conser
vatism about us at all. I suppose you
want to know something about wom
an's franchise and how that is work
ing. The last parliament was the first
to be returned under the new system.
The women are coming to the front at
a rate that astonishes us. The most
astounding thing about all 's that,
whife the conservative pd- the
greatest interest in givi" ,,e fran
chise to women, in tue nope that it
would help their dying cause,
the women have come out
strongly against them, and over
two -thirds of the members of
the house of representatives were re
turned by the liberals. The liberals
never had so large a majority before
the women were given the franchise.
Even the women who were careless
about getting the franchise are mak
ing full use of It. As you Americans
say, it has come to stay. Generally
speaking, nearly as many women
voted as men. They formed their own
committees and worked very hard and
very systematically and are making a
careful study of all political ques
tions." Evidently, according to Mr. Willis,
t'sere is no question about the advan
tage of government ownership of rail
roads. He said:
I have been astonished to see how
blind the people of America are to
their own interests in allowing rail
roads and telegraph lines to be taken
xip by monopolies. In our country we
look upon railroads much as we do
on wagon roads, and think it would be
just as bad to hand the turnpikes over
to monopolies to erect toll gates every
few miles and collect tolls as to hand
, them over those greater highways
railroads. Railways, we believe, should
be a means of assisting farmers to
take their products to market even, if
there is no profit in running them.
There are over two thousand miles of
railway in New Zealand, nearly all
owned by the government. Our sys
tem of managing them can not be
beaten. There is no corruption and
not a single abuse.
The telegraph system belongs entire
ly to the government.
Then we have a government system
of insurance which works admirably.
Through this we are abolishing all pen
sions. All government employes, in
cluding those connected with the rail
roads and telegraph system, are com
pelled to provide for their own Insur
ance out of their salaries.
Our taxation is based on innl'j
George'3 theory of a single tax on
land, and we also have an income lax.
All legislation is so arranged that ttore
is no taxation on improved land. LiuA
improved and unimproved pays the
same tax. Under our income tax -e
. exempt all Income under 300 pounds a
year, and on incomes from 300 to 1,000
Vpounds the rate is six pence per pound.
On incomes from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds
the rate increases from six pence to a
shilling, and on Incomes above 2,000
pounds it remains a shilling to the
pound.
Last year we adopted a system of
lending money to farmers on both free
hold and leasehold lands at a low rate
;of interest, with a 1 percent sinking
fund, which clears off the loan la thirty-three
years by compound interest.
! New Zealand has taken the bull by
the horns in the question of preventing
!large holdings of land. As t this Mr.
iWillis said:
We have passed legislation by which
we can take back lands held In large
blocks. That is, a bill has been passed
giving the government a right to pur
chase all of one man's holdings over
from one to three thousand acres, de
pending on the quality, to be decided
jbj arbitration. It does not follow that
mu'li of this will be done yet for awhtla
uitil our population Increases. Then
we have tiot the troney to spare.
Government land is now leased for
999 years in small portions form 100 to
500 acres. Any one who wishes to
take such land pays a low rate of in
terest on the value of the land, and for
the first two years is required to put in
a small amount of work until it is in
condition to settle on. Then he must
live on it. But our people are not satis
fied with that. What we want and
what we shall probably get soon is a
system of leasing in perpetuity with a
revaluation from time to time.
We are trying something entirely
new in the way of co-operative labor
in public work. Instead cf ietting
such work out to contractors, It. is cut
up into small pieces by the government
engineer, who values It at fair working
wages, 7 shillings a day, or about $1.75
in your money, and contract? are given
out to the men at that rate. This sys
tem has been so successful that It is
being extended to all work such as'
painting public buildings, building
stations and the like. Probably there
will be no contracts let under the old
system in the future.
In every way, as I have said, we look
carefully to the Interest of the mass of
the people. Our factory girls are not
allowed to work over eight hours a day,
children under 14 years of age are not
allowed to work in factories aud until
they have passed through certain
grades In the schools. We compel em
ployers In factories to give a weekly
half-holiday. No shops are allowed
open on Sunday, and every shop must
be closed one day in the week at 1
o'clock in the afternoon. The closing
of the shops on Sunday was not at all
on secular grounds, but simply to give
employes a reasonable amount of rest.
The governor sent over by the queen
has no veto power over our legislation
and is really only a figure-head, for he
has really very little to do with our
government. We have home rule in
reality.
Mr. Willis looks hopefully to the
practical workings of the single tax
theory as soon as it is adopted in its en
tirety by the government of his coun
try. San Francisco Examiner, May 4,
Will They I It ARaln?
In 1878 there was a strong greenback
sentiment in Missouri that threatened
to overwhelm the Democratic party.
When their state convention met it
adopted the following plank in its plat
form: "We regard the national banking
system as being oppressive and bur
densome, and demand the abolition and
retirement from circulation of all na
tional bank notes and the issue of legal
tender notes in lieu thereof, and in
quantities from time to time sufficient
to supply the wholesome and necessary
business demands of the entire country,
and that all greenbacks so issued shall
be used in the purchase and retirement
of bonds of the United States, so that
the interest bearing debt of the coun
try may be lessened to the extent of
the greenbacks thus put in circulation."
This plank corralled the boys. They
all fell in and whooped for the grand
old party. The greenbackcrs warned
them that it was only a bait and meant
nothing except to catch votes. These
warnings were unheeded. They fol
lowed the leaders until they are now
In the gold-bug camp.
And now the Democrats of Missouri
are trying that same old trick. They
have held a free silver convention.
They have declared for free silver. But
the trouble is they still remain with a
gold-bug party, Yuey are in the minor
ity. They wilt have to vote for a gold
bug for president in 1896. It is the
same old btoty of betrayal. The people
must be cleeived in order to save the
party and five a few men office. It is a
continual scramble for spoil instead of
principle. ' The same farce Is being
played in other etates. How long will
the peoplf suffer themselves to be thus
fooled fur the sake of a party that

REV. SAM JONES TALKS
GIVES HIS VIEWS OF THE PO
LITICAL SITUATION.
6y Old Tarty Linos Are Failing Out,
anil the Country In Organizing on the
3rultis anit Common Souse iif the
Coin uion People.
For the past twenty years the rank
and file of citizens have given very little
attention to politics. Our rapidly de
veloping country, the various commer
cial and agricultural interests, have
commanded their attention, every man
has been busy with his own affairs
watching his opportunities in the busi
ness world. We have literally turned
the governmental machine over to' the
politicians,- and for years the profes
sional politicians and tricksters have
manipulated thlng3 to suit themselves,
and all they had to d,? was to write out
their platform and write democratic or
republican above it, j crack -, party
whip, and the people fell in aan s
long as the old governmental cu ve
milk enough for the family nobo'oV
cared how many calves sucked, bik
when there was not milk enough to
go In the coffee the question was raised.
The people have attended to their own
personal business and have turned gov
ernmental affairs over to pot politi
cians and tricksters until they have
managed things their own way until
the government of the United States is
literally in the hands of a set of politi
cal stealers and government robbers.
The only question the average politi
cian of to-day asks is: "What plank
and what man will capture the most
voles?" The vote hunter has made ap
propriations wherever he could capture
a vote, and every fellow who got scared
at the sight of a soldier or a gun during
the war, or who had a bad cold or
stumped his toe, has got his pension and
gone to town to whittle white pine,
while a few of the honest soldiers are
supporting nearly a million of Uncle
Sam's loafers and white pine whittlers.
The question now Is how to get a public
pap to suck. When the democratic
calves are sucking the republican calves
Btand around the lot and bawl. When
the national election opens the gates
and turns out the democratic calves
every little republican calf rushes in,
grabs a tit, shakes his tail and goes to
sucking.
The people looking on the depleted
treasury, gazing on their property re
duced to one-half its value, putting
their grain and stock upon the market
at half price, pouring their hard-earned
money into the depleted treasury of the
United States, in heavy taxes, a- be
ginning to look square In the face the
question of the absolute bankruptcy of
the United States unless something is
done. They have waited four years on
a wrangling congress, cross lifting with
each other and the President, and
bringing no relief. They have stuck to
old party lines till hope has died within
their bosom, and now almost every
thoughtful citizen in the United States
has got his ears backed and is prepared
to kick the filling out of any fellow that
cracks a party whip over him.
The old party lines are fading out
and the country Is organizing on the
brains and common sense of the com
mon people; organizing on a basis to
secure speedy legislation on the ques
tions that most need Immediate atten
tion. I looked upon this as the most
fortunate thing that could happen to
our great commonwealth. This Is a re
publican government. We need an In
telligent citizenship. To have thl3 we
must have first a free press, with brains
and statesmanship at the head, not
bought and bribed and dominated by a
party lash, but governed by patriotism,
Intelligence and sense of right, instruct
ing the people honestly and Impjrtially
on the great governmental questions of
the day. The common people are be
ginning to think more than ever on
government questions; they are begin
ning to doubt, investigate and examine,
and the time Is coming and ought
quickly to come, when the masses of
;he people will cease to be driven Into
line by party lash wielded by corrupt,
elfish and designing politicians.,

Party lines are broken; the people

An Ancient Cb3nnt. v,
The Boston Herald 'say tl;t X.V
treasury has the same old si-.-'y to tell
about the "dishonest silver dollar''!
it won't circulate, it keeps coming back
Into the treasury. If the silver dollar
were one-half as dishonest as those
whose business it is to malign it, it
would be in the penitentiary, rather
than in the treasury. Coin, whether
gold or silver, does its work through
its paper representations. The people
would rather have silver certificates
than silver coin Just for the same rea
son that they would rather have gold
certificates than gold coin. The day
has long since passed when either gold
or silver in the form of coin will cir
culate except as "change," because
their paper representations are more
easily handled. But why doesn't the
Herald make its point all the stronger
by telling how people fall over each
other to get one dollar gold coins?
Perhaps that would be too glaring a
falsehood for the Boston Herald to tell.
The fact Is, that silver dollars do cir
culate freely, while the effort of the
government to force gold dollars Into
circulation was so complete a failure
that congress stopped their coinage- by
law. The people simply wouldn't have
them, and they wouldn't circulate at
all. Whoever sees gold coin of any kind
in circulation? Where is all the goU
complacently supposed to be "In cir
culation" by the circulation artists of
the treasury department? What il
limitable nerve It requires for a gold
bug newspaper to talk about silver coin
not circulating among the people, when
not one man in a hundred ever gets
even a glimpse of a gold coin of any
denomination, and no man will have
one if he can get a silver certificate, a
greenback or a banknote In place of It.
What gold 13 In circulation among the
people Is in the form of gold certifi
cates, and there Is precious little of
that. The New York Financial Chron
icle in 18SS published an editorial on
this subject calling attention to the
fact that not one man In twenty viewed
either a gold coin or a gold certificate,
and said this was as true of the north
as it was in the south, though the
treasury officials figured it out that
there were something like $.100,000,000
"in circulation," just because there was
that much whose whereabouts was un-k-wn.
The truth seems to be that
tcout $200,000,000 of this gold circulates
only in the treasury reports and '.n the
minds of treasury officials. It Ir not in
the country, and what is here doesn't
circulate and is not wanted for circu
lation In the form of coin.
A few days ago the Mobile Register,
a monometallist paper, declared with
charming naivete that Mr. Bryan
had put the people there to great In
convenience by charging that the
banks were hoarding gold; that the
banks thereupon began to pay out gold
to their customers who protested vio
lently and vigorously against being
forced to receive It they dlJn't want
gold coin if they could fcet ilver certi
ficates or anything else. This only rea
son yld coin doesn't "flow back into
I the treasury" is that there is so pre
cious little to flow. It certainly doesa'l

The following is taken fram the an
nual report of the secretary of the navy
Issued July 1:
The monthly statement of the public
debt, shows the debt on June 30, 1S93,
the end of the fiscal year, to have been
$1,096,913,120, exclusive of $579,207,803
in certificates ami treasury notes in cir
culation, offset by an equal amount of
cash In the treasury. Nor does it in
clude $31,157,730 in bonds of the last is
sue which have not yet been delivered
to London purchasers. The correspond
ing debt on June 30, 1894, was $1,016,
879,816, showing an increase for the
year, including bonds not yet delivered
In London of $111,173,054. The cash In
the treasury, however, has increased,
during the year from $117,584,436 to
$195,230,153, a gain of $77,655,717. The
true public debt, Including bonds not
yet delivered, less cash in the treasury,
Is therefore $922,830,717, uu Increase for
the year of $33,517,337.
In plainer language the secretary of
the treasury In order to find an excuse
for the issue of additional bonds, has
added
$77,655,717
to the money lying Idle In the treasury
a year ago, and added $11,655,054 to the
bonded debt, and the interest-bearing
burden of the people.
Or, to put It in another way, while
money was scarce and all business suf
fering, labor idle and farmers pinched
for money, the heartless scoundrels lu
control of the government deliberately
manipulated things so as to buy up
and withdraw from circulation $77,
055,717 of cash. To make it still plain
er: While the body politic is suffering
from lack of blood money these
wretches deliberately tapped the body
and bled it to the tune of seventy-seven
millions, thus making money still
scarcer and pinching the people more
and more. That this was a damnable
conspiracy is proved by the report
which further on gives the following
item of cash in the treasury July 1, 1895:
Gold $153,S93,931
Silver 512,338,750

On June 21. 205 convicts In the In
diana state prison were auctioned off
to the highest bidder, with the privilege
of buying them again at the end of that
time. These men were sold as slaves to
contractors! This is plain, unvarnished
truth. In olden times, when the rulers
needed more slaves, men were arrested
for alleged violation of some law anil
made to do service. In Indiana and
nearly every state this is true to-day. If
the reports in the daily pres3 are true
these men. on an average, are better
than the average officers. The reports
of forgery, theft and brutality by those
In charge of prisoners and other public
business is notorious. There 13 no
moral reason why convicts should be
made slaves of. It if brutal. It will
make them worse. Why should the
state house and feed and guard slaves
to allow some grasping contractors to
make a profit? If the prison officers are
not competent to employ the prisoners
in a self-supporting manner they should
be displaced and others who a:e com
petent employed. A man's actions are
his mind; his mind is the reflex of sur
roundings. Make his surroundings
just, kind and fraternal. Nearly every
criminal could be reclaimed if their
minds were cultivated in prison, but to
do this the minds of the prison officials
must be right. When a man is sent to
prison for violating a lav that Is not in
accord with morals, that man Is not a
criminal but the men who make and
execute such a law are the real crim
inals. Most men in prison are noi to
blame. Coming Nation.

Pullman company,-' are deceiving the
people and that the pretended raise In
wages has not occurred.
The Ciiicago Chronicle under the
caption "The Pullman Fraud" says:
"Inquiry among the men wh? earn
the wages demonstrates that-t'tffe'h'aV
been no "rilse." At least, the reople
who draw pay have not found their
checks bigger or their pay envelopes
heavier. One man a skilled work
man, not a laborer tells -Chronicle
reporter that a week's work of 10
hours a day brings him only $13.80,
Another says that in t'ia cabinet-makt
ing department $2.35 a day is the liml
set. Pay Is theoretically by the piece,
so ps to prevent loafing which is just
lut If a man i3 particularly active,
in luscious and efficient, he is still
prevented from earning more than 22
nts rn hoar which Is mor than un
jsf. It is fraudulent.
It 4 singular tht even for three or
'mr , flays he Pullman concern could
himbttg the press of Chicago. No-
ly who has had opportunity to study
; ; methods of that cornoration could
attach importance to the r.ssertion that
j it had voluntarily increased the wage
of Its employes. Philanthropy is na
part of the Pullman code of business,
nor even is justice. Wages once low
ered never increase. The hand of Pull
man Is against every man that Is,
against society, and It i3 not extrava
gant to say that society Is coining to
raise its hand against Pullman."
The way to win is to work to win.
Now is a good Ume to begin.
Democracy seems to be afflicted with
a bad case of lost Identity.
