TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLINGTON. /"^ ENTLEMEX— I have the hardihood to \jr oftpr myself as a candidate for the honor of wpre^nting the City in the next Parliament. It may lie asked ''What claim have I on yoursunragp?" I answer, "None whatever." But my reason for asking is that I am of opinion that the interests of the working men, the interests of the people at large, are made subservient to the welfare of the landed, squatting, and mercantile interests. That under free and liberal institutions a landed oligarchy is grasping, holding, and keeping unimproved the land, to the detriment of the Colony, and that tlie working class have no representative in the House to watch pvef their interests, as they ought to have. It may be said that I am endeavoring to set the working class against the monied or mercantile class. Such is not my object. My object is, that that class should have a representative in the House, capable of looking at all measures introduced with a ! working man's view — not to obstruct the Government — but so to assist and advise with them as to what, and in which manner, the measures they introduce will affect the working class, that they shall have no reason for dissatisfaction because they have no voice in their consideration or passing. The abolition of the Provincial form of Government has my hearty approval, and if the Government will only divide the country into workable districts, with elective administrative bodies with sufficient powers, the people j may be safely left to govern themselves. j • Tlift proposition to form the Colflny into four Provinces and to separate the Islands is so ridiculous that it should not lie entertained for a moment. The Public Works Scheme should be pushed on briskly, but economically, nnu great retrenchment made in t!>o expense of Government. The tariff should be altered, so that Customs duties may be levied on the luxuries of life, nnd not on the necessaries. Provision should be made for the sustentation of aged anil infirm persons and friendless children, and settlement on the land should lie fostered. t The nominated Legislative Council should be abolished-, Slid au Upper House, with members elected for ten or twelve years, should be substituted. A Land, Property, #and Income tax should be imposed, and wealth should contribute its fair share to the revenue, which hitherto it has not done. An early improvement is needed in the Licensing Act, and hotels should be open, for, ft 1 few hours on Sunday evenings— to enable the working men to meet and discuss questions affecting themselves. Landlords should be treated as men desirous of conforming to the law, and not as suspicious characters to be kept in awe by a policeman's baton, or an Inspector's caprice or spite. Gentlemen, these are some of my opinions on social and political matters. I shall endeavor to carry out tlie provisions of the Ballot Act in its integrity, although I do not approve it. The individual independence tof BHtons made England whht it is ; and if ever New Zealand is to become a powerful nation, its sons must leara to speak the sentiment of their mind fearlessly and firmly. I shall attend no Public Meetings where political bias is rampant, but state my views in tliis journal, the managers of which have treated me with liberality. Should I be one of your choice, you may rely on it that no one will more unceasingly watch over the interest of the City and tho Colony at large, to the best of his ability, Than Gentlemenj Your obedient servant, C. MOODY. Wellington, 20th November, 1875. MANTLE AND COSTUME MAKING. MRS.
