Which Tenure is the Better ? -♦• Mr A. E. Remington, one of the candidates id the recent Pate* election, writes thns to the Chriatchurch Press ; — My a' tcition has been drawn to a paragraph in your paper of 24th Juiy taken from the Wairarapa Daily liases regarding some remarks I made during the recent Pa'.ea election campaign, the subject beiDg our land laws and the Hon. W. Rolletton's connection therewith. I obj .-ctt3 garbled extracts from speeches, and aso in the inferi nee that, uniier some influence, I admitted Mr RolUeton's cl*im to some son of recognition. Will yon gi<? e me bpace for what I did cay, and then your numerous readers can diaw their own onolusioua as to ho* far I am or waß a Government candidate. Dealing with the lease in perpetuity, as I know it to apply to our bueh lands in this iaiand, and the price the Liberal Governmett have all aloDg put on these lands under the leasing Byatem, 1 said that it was not ihe Lat,d Act 1 had a right to expect fiom a Liberal <■' >vernment and I instanced the deferred payment system (Rollest >n'. ), which repealed by the McKenz.e Land Act of 1892, as baing an immeasurably more Liberal tenure ; for it gave the tame c'aas of settlers as have taken tip leases in perpetuity at a capital value of 20i to 25s an acre at 4 per cent, the opportunity to acquire their holdings by twenty ha f yearly payments of 5 per oent ' on the pi ice named, which was generally 10* an acre, co that in ten years' for a few shillings more than they now pay in reifc alone, under Mr Rolleston's Act they would have been freeholders. I also said, and said it with pride as one oolonial born, tint though I had never met or spoken to the Hon. Mr Rolleston he was my ideal Minister of Lands, and that in my opinion, and in the opinion of huudreds of my friends and supporter, the Government would have done honour to the oolooy and brought some cr- dit to theirs -lve» a 9 a government, if thny had corsalted the Hon. Mr Roilefton and asked him to allow therm to reoommend him for icoognition at the fa^dscf his Royal H ghr.ess the Duke of Cornwall; and also to ask him further, to take a seat in the Legislative Council, and give our colony tbe benefit of his ifpe experience and mature judgment. (Of course I do not know whether Mr Rolleeton would have accepted such recognition, though I thick if he appreciates tbe kindly feeling there ia toward him, displayed by moderate men, he would have done so) ; but even now I marvel that the intensity of patty feeling has co influenced the Right Hon. the Premier that he dots not see that he will thousands from hie side at next general election if he continues to ignore public opinion in matters like the above. 1 hope lam too true a Liberal to deny to any public man the credit dua to him, and therefore I resent the inference that what 1 said of Mr Rolleston was said grudgingly. Id conclusion, let me ask all you gentlemen, editors of Opposition papers, to believe there are many candidates and thousands of electors, who fly the Libe;al flag, who are josh as desirous of doing what ib right towards opponents (so-called) as you are yourselvee. We look forward hopefully to the return of a National Liberal party, and you ought to assist ÜB,for you will never get back ihe old. party that cuffered practical extinction in December, 1899. Fresh Lease of Life - ■ — -♦•- - - — SUFFERED WITH HIS LUN<;S UNTIL HE TOOK SCOTT'S EMULSION The especial object of this newspaper article is to call the reader's attention to a letter from a gentleman of Eton, which reads as follows :— " I<»7, High street, Eton, Bucks, " England, Ist March, 1900. ' "Dear Sirs, — It gives me pleasure to let you know the benefits I have derived from Scott's Emulsion. When I commenced to take the preparation I had been suffering for some months from lung disease, ac.-om-panied by a very bad cough with frequent expectoration. I harl tried various remedies, including cod-liver oil, but all to no purpose, for nothing relieved me for any length of time. Seeing your advertisements repeatedly in the daily papers, telling of the good results to be obtained from your preparation I determined to try Scott's Emulsion myself and see what it would do for me. To this end I procured a bottle, and noticing some WILLIAM MAHER. (Ir.in a (jliototrraph.) relief before 1 had finished it, I naturally got a further supply to continue the treatment, and the results have been altogether most satisfactory. To make my story as short as possible, I may say that I have been taking Scott's Emulsion about three months, and have obtained the greatest possible benefit from its use, being stronger and better than 1 have been for a considerable time. My cough, which was the chief cause of trouble, has almost entirely left me, in fact, I only feel anything of it when 1 . enter a place where smoking has been going on. I would certainly advise anyone suffering from chest or lung complaints to try Scott's Emulsion, as irom my experience with it I feel sure that the results would not be disappointing. My friends are surprised at the great improvement in me and declare I have taken a ' fresh lease of life.' — Yours gratefully, (Signed) Wai. Maheb." Here is a case so familiar that it cannot be mistaken. The chronic cough that slowly and persistently weakens the system, is the enemy of every country. A cough is not necessarily dangerous at first. A little Seotts's Emulsion will quickly relieve it. But after it has run a while there is another thing to be considered. The system has become weaken*! ; vitality or resistive power H lowered, and this is oangerous. It is just because ordinary specifics have nothing in them to give vitality that makes them so useless in treating a chronic cough. Scott's Emulsion is what people need in throat and lung affections. It contains a special and original form of cod-liver oil combined with hypophosphites and glycerine — all standard auu remedial agents. No other preparation is like it and no other form of oil will produce as beneficial results. It will pay you to try the genuine Scott's Emulsion if there is need of it in your family and you will then see the practical results such as are revealed from day to day in our advertisements.
