Election Notices- TO THE BLEOTOKS OP . FRANKLIN. [ GitHTi/EMTW, —As an elector of your district T, , beg to offer myself as a candidate for the Seat rendered j vacant by the retirement of ciir late respected lepre- j ! sentative, Mr Clarke, and although unable to claim ] your support for past services I look back with : satisfaction to having formed one of a deputation '■ which was appointed at a public meeting held at i Papakura in the early days of Mr Gillies* Superin tendency to urge upon the Government the vigorous prosecution of the Auckland and Waikato Railway. . This important line, as you are well aware, is now in ; course of construction, and yesterday the " iron horse i made his first trip into the garden of our district, j Firstly, then, as regards the Colonial policy. Should j you honour me with your confidence I shall sun^ort i the present Government in carrj ing out the • j-3/ts' railway lines already accepted by the Legislatu ' \ in the event of these proving payable would i I '' ir ■■, assist it in extending them as far as Willing *j.. in the North I?land, and from the Bluff to either Picton !or Nelson in the South. You will at once perceive j the benefit of such a line when I add. that assuming i this work to be undertaken Auckland, from her 1 geographical position and unrivalled harbour, must assxiredly become the terminus in New Zealand of the . • Fiji an.i San Francisco steamers, as passengers and i ' mails could then be forwarded to and from Otago in j a couple of days.or so by rail, when they cannot at | • present arrive, by sea, in less than five days. 1 I shall support any motion for the thorough overhaul j of the Immigration Department, including the class j of vessels employed, and for the planting of special i settlements throughout this province, which I always understood was to have been a cardinal point of Mr Vogel's scheme. While fully alive to the delicate nature of our re lations with the Maori race, as an inhabitant of New Zealand, and consequently a subject of the same I Queen, andliving under the same laws as the natives, I cannot conscientiously brine myself to believe (and ■ I think history will bear me out in the assertion) that in the case of heinous crimes, or the most suitable route for a railway or telegraph line, the laws passed by the representatives of both races in Parliament assembled should be distorted to suit the conve nience of any section of the community, be it white or black. At the same time we ought to be thankfnl for peace if not purchased at too great a sacrifice of money and self-respect. Providing the revenue to admit of it I shall sup port a moderate subsidy for;jibe projected sub-marine cable between our colony ancl Australia. I shall strenuously oppose any tax upon what is generally termed the necessaries of life, and although fully alive to the importance of manufacturing in dustries, when in conjunction with agriculture, as the surest foundation upon which to build up a great nation, lam convinced, after mature consideration of this vital subject, that the so-called protection to native industry merely results, as witnessed'at present in the United States and Victoria, in raising the cost of living of the whole community for the benefit of a few manufacturers and their friends. "While con curring In granting bonusses to encourage certain in dustries, still in the long run I believe New South Wales will be found correct, and that the best policy for a young country like ourg to pursue, necessarily handicapped by dear money and dear labour, will be found in exporting as much raw material, whether in ' the shape of wool, wheat, gum, flax, timber, or gold, as we can lay our hands upon, and importing as little as possible from our neighbours. Let us pursue this policy, and private enterprise, when'later on in our history it is supported by abundant and cheap skilled labour, will very soon establish industries, which will return a fair interest upon the outlay, un pubsidised at the expense of the bone and sinew of the colony. I further approve of all port charges upon shipping being reduced to a minimum. Regarding the vexed question of Education, while advocating this being made compulsory I believe a^o in liberty of conscience ; and here arises the stumbling-block in a community divided as we are - into so many different religious creeds. I think I nm correct in assuming that the Catholic section of the people are debarred by their faith from accepting any compromise in this matter, and that even supposing that the Bible was excluded from our Common Schools parents would still object to send their children to receive instruc tion there. The only solution of the question then that I can see is the following :—Make our Common Schools of two classes—the"one Protestant, to include all sects, where say a chapter of the Bible will be read without comment thereon each morning at opening, and the other Catholic, to be presided over by Catholic instructors. I know many would object to this upon the ground of class legislation, or legislating for a minority, but to compensate for this, and judging from the views lately expressed by Father Norris at the Thames touching the Education Tax, I think our Catholic fellow-colonists would not object to pay a moderate increased percentage for Education if permitted on the other hand to have the training of their youth in their own way. As at present they are compelled by the law to contribute £1 a year, and then are debarred from making any use of the schools provided, so that if the foregoing plan was adopted I believe an Education Act could be passed next session which would prove satisfactory to alt concerned. I would suggest to the Government the advisability of establishing a Railway Passenger's Accident In surance Company as in England, so that for a trifling yearly outlay a person couid make piovision for his family in the event of death or being seriously injured while in a train. ' I shall endeavour, in conjunction with the other Northern members, to impress upon the !Government the immediate necessity of re-adjusting the fiscal burdens of the colony, so that the weight of taxation may fall more equitably upon the two Islands than at present. I shall oppose Separation. I shall, continne to oppose the Provincial Loans Bill, as I believe it to be a distinct violation of our engagements with the London Stock Exchange. I shall support any measure for the preservation of our forests and for planting nurseries. As regards Provincial matters I shall sup port the subsidizing of Road Boards and render every assistance to thoroughly develop by tramway or other wise the coal and other mineral deposits of the Drury and Hunua districts. I shall not cease to advocate the vital importance of the Thames Valley Railway, as also a water supply for Auckland. The foregoing then, gentlemen, is my political faith, and while leaving it with confidence in your hands, will merely add in conclusion that by her resources, her climate, and her geopraphical position, and after having visited most of Englaad's possessions, I firmly believe New Zealand is yet destined to become the " Britain of the South," with the much maligned Auckland as her leading seaport. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, - F. H. TROUP. TO THE ELECTORS OF FRANKLIN. Gentlemen,—The writ for the Election being now issued may remind you I am a Candidate, and beg respectfully to solicit your suffrages. I mean to support the Government in the Public Works and Immigration Policy and in their efforts to push on towards completion the works now ir progress before beginning others ; and agree in opinion with the Government it is not desirable that large blocks of land should pass into the hands of private, individuals. . Will only add at present I- believe it to be the duty of a Representative to carefully consider matters that may be brought before him, and to act on his own judgment.
