THURSDAY—" EAST LYNNE," (by par ticnlar desire.) 115! THE GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL POLICY. TN THE POSSIBLE EVENT OF A DISSOLUTION. And a consequent APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY BT A GENERAL ELECTION. The attention of the ELECTORS IS SPECIALLY AND EARNESTLY DIRECTED To the concluding portion of the COLONIAL TREASURER'S SPEECH :— Let me, before I conclude, implore honourable, members not to allow party feelings to interfere with their consideration of the proposals we have made. If they like to relieve us from carrying out the work let them do so, but do not let them in hostility to the men condemn the measures. If we were actuated by a desire to retain office, or to hold it on easy terms, we are fully aware that we are not serving sither purpose by our proposals ; we know that nothing would be easier than to make the approaching appeal to the country the excuse for hurrying through the session without raising any debatable questions. But do us the justice to suppose that all party considerations sink into utter insignificance in our minds, when we place them in competition with questions of such large moment as those «re have raised. It may be that some honourable members will tbink those questions prematurely raised — will be of opinion that there is no need to be otherwise than contented with affairs precisely as they at present stand. Whilst we will freely allow that their views are honestly and disinterestedly entertained, however little we are able to agree with them, let them do us the justice to believe that we are impelled to the enormous responsibility we have undertaken, in proposing such measures, by an overwhelming conviction that they are demanded in the interests of a country great in its resources, in its position, in its hardy and energetic population, in the traditions which spur its people onwards, and in those circumstances of desertion and contumely which have cast upon the colonists unusually large duties, and left in their minds proportionately high aspirations. We shall be told that these proposals will entail on posterity an enormous burden. Granted, — but they will give to posterity enormous means out of which to meet it. Every member has constituents whom he represents ; he will be justified in assuring them that the measures we propose will benefit every person in the community, from the. highest to the lowest, from the richest to the poorest. They will lead the colony to prosperity, and enable it to do justice to its splendid resources. END OF NEW ADVERTISEMEA TS. TOT OOLSTON SCHOOL FERRY ROAD. ANDREW J.
