TRICT OF PaRNELL. Gentlemen,—Mr. Reader Wood having resigned his seat as yonr Member in the House of Representatives, I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages. ; Many of you are aware that I have, from the first,heartily sympathised with Sir George Grey in his wise and patriotic efforts to secure for the people of the Colony thefulleefc powers of selfgovernment. This is not only the rightof the people, but their bestsafeguard against thefuture domination of a ruling class.with the depression and misery which such a rule mu3t inevitably bring upon them. ■ You will find me, if elected, among the most earnest supporters of Sii George Grey and of his Ministry in any endeavour to attain this end which he has kept so steadily in view: The taxation of the country, under the presieni system, bears unfairly on labour. I hold such a change to be necessary as will throw on property and ou wealth of all kinds, a just and propei share. „ .. ■ _ • ' ._.,, The Ministry promise a Native Lands Bil during the next session. Previous Bills appeal to me to have erred chiefly in two directions They have offered facilities to large purchasers only 'and have endeavoured to force th< Maori—by limiting his mai ket—to tell at theii price. Any measure based on an opposiu policy I should heartily support. g I shall take an opportunity of laying foefon you in greater detail, my) views on thesi matters, as well as,on those more especiall; affecting the Parnell Klectoral District, th< interests of which I should always feel it a dut: to the bo:.t or* my power to advance. I am, Gentleir.en, Yours faithfully, F. J. MGSS.. Parnell, January 23,1578.J
