Electoral. rpo THE electors OF the ELECTOIUL DISTRICT OF te AROIIA. Gentlemen,— I beg most respectfully to offer myself as a Candidate for tho honour of representing the newly-formed Electoral District of Te Aroiia, in your House of Representatives. On the 15th of last April I had the privilege of stating my views on the leading topic* of tho day, at a large meeting at. Te Arohrt, and I afterwards forwarded a copy of the address I delivered on that occasion to every voter in the district. My political views are therefore now well known to you. I am decidedly opposed to any addition to «lie financial bunions, already too great, which the country has to liear, and I should unquestionably vote against any further borrowing, or any additional loa.i.s. At the same time I consider the financial position of New Zealand, as far as its public debt is concerned, a perfectly sound and solvent one; and there cannot be a more satisfactory proof of this than tho fact that it is now possible to replace the old loans :us they fall duo, by new ones at a much lower rate of interest. I am in favour of the Abolition of the Property Tax, regarding it as a tax which is a direct tine on industry, thrift, and improvements, and I should be prepared to vote for its total or gradual extinction at the first practicable opportunity. I consider that much might he done in this direction by further retrenchment In tho annual expenditure, and by the saving which will bo effected in the way of interest, as old loans are replaced by new ones. I am in favour of a radical reform in the management of tho Government Railways, so that greater facilities should be given for the transit of passengers at reasonable fares, and also for the conveyance of goods and freight at far cheaper rates than at present. Tho Education Vote is one which will require most careful watching, and while it is undoubtedly the duty of the State to see that every child shall receive a sound elementary education, it is not the duty of the State to do more than this, except in the case of children of remark hie talent. I am a firm believer in the principles of Free Trade, and consider them essential to the progress anil prosperity of a nation. The subject of Federation is one of very great importance, and one which will require most careful consideration, and although it is highly probable that in the end it may be found desirable for New Zealand, still at present it is far the host and safest policy to avoid anything like undue or reckless haste. The Milling interests of Now Zealand are most important, and promise to be such a source of wealth to the country, that it is tho duty of the Government to foster and develop them in every possible way, /is, by doing so, they will not only benefit those interested in mining, but also those connected with Agriculture and other branches of industry. I regret that it was not in my power to address meetings in the different place in the district before I left for England, but I hope to havo tho pleasure of doing so before long. Having a largo stake in the Electoral District, my interests are the same is yours, and everything that tends to the prosper.ty of the district will be a benefit to each of us alike. If you do me the honour to fleet me as your repre tentative, I intend to take up my residence at Annandale, and as a friend and neighbour I shall do my best to promote your local interests, and in your [louse of Representatives I shall also, to the best ,)f my ability, advocate and Mipjsirt the policy and principles which 1 have laid down in this address. 1 have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours most sincerely, MM.
