not deny that there is distress though 1t Is entirely
less than prior to the passing of the reform and
corn laws. There Is distress now in the agricul-
tural and coal industries, but it cannot be denied
that food and clothing are cheaper than ever be-
fore. If the commissions devices are cOunten-
anced we shall soon hear of tax on corn. Mr.
Chaplin advocates duty on corn. 1t is melan-
choly and revolving that such a topic should be
discussed now. The whole country fought that
subject for 20 years and everything was arrested

put forward to fill the logical void and
exemplify the present political autinomy
existing between right-reason and Ha-
waiian mis-rlle.
The coming fight, on the part of the
Opposition taxpayers, will be made
from the same ground upon which the
present Premier stood when he edited
the M H0n, only with this difference !:
that the 'Independent Opposition" will
be able to prove the malfeasance
and mis-rule Of the present Administra-
tion while the present Premier was be-
fore obliged to be content with the allie
CATION Of official incompetency.

are signed to the circular, to pull the
