(To the Editor),

SIR,—I can hardly find words to express my feelings of gratification at persusiug the following words of Sir George Grey to the to the Liberal Association of Wellington. " Use the earth for the happiness of man kind, not use mankind to labour to enrich the few." If the working men of Auckland do not to a man support Sir George poio, now or nevpy, Int them never hope to obtain political salvation or a glorious future for themselves, but expect to be kept at hard labour without lettering their condition or obtain auy Land. I. "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof," Says God's nios' holy Word. The waters have fish, the land has flesh, And the air has many a bird; And tho soil is teeming over the earth. And tho earth ha* numberless hands, Though mi llions of hunds do acres want, $.ud millions o£ acres want hands. ir. Sunlightland Jytaeze, and eladsome flowers Are o'er the earth spread wido, ■ And tho good God gave g JEts to men, To men who on earth abide; v<>t thousands are toiling m poisonous gloom, And shackled witn iron bands, While millions of hands do acres want, And imiliODS of acres want hands, m. "Pia writ • " Thou shalt not muzzle tho ox That treadeth out the corn,-" Vet shackled is the poor man a Vimbs, ' HiVnoouldecß earth's burden borne. Tl" and'is the gift of a bounfebnlftod, And to labour His Worn commands, Yet millions o£ bands do acres want And millions of acres want han3a, IV. Who hath ordained that a few should hoard Their millions of useless cold; Or that few monopolize tho , ear h And barren the soil should hold? •fia n e-larine lie! in tho iace of day I
