• "Election Notices. ,' TO THE ELECTOKS OP FEANKIIIf. Gb&tliMtw.-As an elector of- your district T beg to offer myself as a candidate for tbe Seat rendered vacant by the retirement of cur late, respected i*pre 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 puHic meeting new at Papakura in the early days of Mr Gillies Superin tendency to urge upon the Govrnment the vigoroiis. 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 norse made his first trip into the garden of out' ""strict. Firstly, then, as regards the Colonial policy. Should roil honour me with your confidence I shall support the present Government in carrjing.out the various railway lines already accepted by the Legislature and in the event of these proving payable would further assist it in extending them as far as. Wellington In the North Island, and from the Bluff to either Picton or Nelson in the South. You will at once perceive the benefit of such a line when I add that assuming this, wort t,o be undertaken Auckland, from her geographical position and unrivalled harbour, must assuredly become the' terinihtlS iii Ne* fceaHndof the "Fiji and San Francisco steamer^, asf f)aSsMi«TS anfl mails could then be forwarded to and from UtsgO in a con tie of days or so by rail, when they, cannot at present arrive, by sea, in less than five days 1 shall support any motion for the thorough overhaul of tbe Immigration Department, including the- class of vessels employed, and for the planting of special settlements throughout this province, which J 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 ah inhabitant..of Few Zealand, and consequently a. subject, of the same Queen, and living under the same laws as tbfe natives, I cannot confcientiously brinsr'myself to believe (and; I thinkhistory will bear me out ia the assertion) that in the case of heinous . crimes, or. the ,most.s.uitable route for a railwf yor telegraph line, the laws passed by the representatives of both races in Parliament assembled should be distorted to suit theconve r .. nience of any section, of the community..be it -white or black. At the same time we ought to be th<vnkfnl 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, the projected<sub-marine cable between our colony and Australia. I shall strenuously oppose any tax upon what is generally termed the'necess'aries 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. Tarn 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 cdmmunity fbrth'e benefit of' . a.few manufacturers' and their- friends. Wbile t con curring in granting bonusses to encburage certain in dustries, still in the long run I believe .New South Wales will be found'correct, and that the best policy for a ybung country like ours 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 bur neighbours. Let vs1 pursue this policy, and private enterprise, when'l&ter. on in our history it is supported by. .abundant land, cheap skilled labour, will very sqnn establish industries, which will return a fair interest upcm the outlay, un subsidised 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 bf Education,'while advocating this being made compulsory I believe a^so 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 am 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 bur Common Schools parents' would still,object to fiend 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 brie Protestant, to include all sects, where say a chapter of the' Bible ' Will be read without comment thereon .each .morniDg! at opening, and the other Patholic, to be. presided over by Ciitholic instructors.. I know many would object to this upon the ground of ' class legislation,; or legislating for &■ minority, but to compensate for this, and j.udging .from the .vi,ews.lately expressed ;by Father' Morris at the Thames touching the Education Tax, I think our Catholic' fellow-colonists would hot 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 preterit thby arc 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 nextj session .which would prove satisfactory to all concerned. I would suggest to the Government • the advisability of. establishing-a Railway Passenger's' .Accident In surance Company as in. England, sp.that.for a trifling yearly outlay a person could make provision 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'-adjuVting the fiscal burdens of the'colony. sothatthe'weight 'bf taxation may fall, more,equitably.upon, the two Islands than at present. ; i •',..'- I shall oppose Separation. I shall', continue to oppose the Provincial Loans Bill, as I believe it to be a distinct. violation of' ouri engagements with - the Ltndori Stock Exchange, I shall support apy measure for the preservation of, our forests and for planting nurseries. As regards Provincial masters I shall'sup port the subsidizing of Road Boards andrender every assistance .to thoroughly develop by tramway or .other- Wise the coal and other mineral deposits of, the pr/tiry andHunua districts. ">■••• ■■"■: '• :i. , I shall not cease to advocate the -vital 'importance of the Thames Valley Railway, as also.a water supply for-Auckland. ,- ( ■■, i, ..., ; ■ The foregoing then, gentlemen,is mypolitical faith, andiwhile leaving it with confidence' in your hands, .will merely add in conclusion that by her resources, her climate, and her geopraphic&Viposition, and after having visited most of England's possessions, I firmly believe Rew Ze'aland;'is yet destined to become the ".Britain of, the South,"" with the • much maligned Auckland as her leading seaport..- ; 1.. . ■■:; j I am, gentlemen, ■ .'.- '.- Your obedient servaint, . ; >.-• \' •■■■ ■>••■ ' - •<■ P.H.
