SIR ROBERT STOUT AT PALMERSTON NORTH.
And now let me refer to the money question. We hear the question asked j " If you destroy all licenses, where are we to get the revenue from? You get for the General Government half a million of money from^drink^ through the Customs; and you get for your 'focal bodies sixty « or seventy thousand a r year from licensing-ifees. Where are. we to get the money, from, if we sfyut up the s pM_e&ies r ? t4 ' WH-iti^M the money come from? Who pays
the Publican ? You don't imagine that the publican or brewer pays the taxation out of his own pocket. He must get the money from somewhere. What do you think we spend on drink in a year ? More than two millions of money. Where does the money come from ? The money comes from the people's pockets.
