Election Notices- TO THE ELECTORS OP .'.-. FRANKLIN. \ Gfntlkmwk,—As an elected of your district 1 beg to offer myself as a candidatefor the Seatrendered> vacant Vy the retirement of cur late respected i<=pre-i 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 held at Papakura in the early days of Mr Gil'-ics1 Supenn tendency to urge upon the Goyrnment the vigorous prosecution of the Auckland and Waifeato Railway. This important line, as you -are well aware, is now in course of construction, and yesterday the " iron horse madehis first trip into the garden of o^r district. Firstly, then, as regards the Colonial policy. Should you honour me with your confidence I shall support the present Government in carrjiogout-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 I'iand, and from the Bluff to either Pictoc bx Nelson in the. South. You will at once perceive the benefit of such a line when 1 add that assuming this work to .be undfl-kkcn Auckland, .from her geographical position and unriyalied.harbour, must assuredly become the terminus in New Zealand of the Fiji an-i San Francisco steamers, as passeneers aiid mails cou'd then be forwarded to and from- Otsgo-in a couple of days or-'o by rail, when they cannot at piesent arrive, by sea, in less than five days. T shall support any motion for'the thorough overhaul of the Immigvat'o'n Department-, including the Class of vessels employed, and for the planting of special 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 lationff with the Maori race, as an inhabitant of New Zealand, ?.nd consequently a subject of tie same Queen, and living under the same laws as the natives, I cannot conscientiously brin? myself to believe (p.nd I think hi&tory will bear me out in the assertion) that in the case of heinous crimes, or the most suitable route for a railway or telGgraj h line, the laws passed by the representatives of both races in Parliament assembled should be distorted to suit the <?Snve nience of any section of the community, be it whitft or black. At the same time we ought to be tlmnkfnl for peace if not purchase;! 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 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 <o build up a great nation, am 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 oura to pursue, necessarily handicapped by dear money and dear labour, will be fourii iii exiortim' as much raw material, whether in the rfiape"o? wool" wheat Rum, 2.~ ; timber, or gold, as we can lay our hands upon, and impuiw~"as little as possible from our neighbours. . Let us pursue this /policy,' and private, enterprise; when'later on in our history it is mipportfid by abundant and cheap skilled labour, will very so'>n establish industries, which will return a fair interest upon the outlay, un suhsidiced 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. Regardirg the vexed question of >. Education, while advocating this being made compulsory I believe also Jft liberty, of conscience ; and here arises the stumbling-block in !i community divided as we are into so many different religious creeds. 1 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 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 Rccts, whfcro say a chapter of the, Bible will be read without -comment, thereon each morning at opening, and thn 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 N orris 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 permittfd on the other hand 4o have the training of their youth in their own way. As at present they are compolled 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 all concerned. I would suggest to the Government the advisability of establishing a Railway Passenger's Accident In surancfi Company as in England, so that for a trifling yearly outlay a person could 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-adjxisting the fiscal burdens of the colony so that the weight of taxation may fall moro equitably upon the two Islands than at present. I shall oppose Separation. I shall continue to oppose the Provincial Loans Bill, as I. believe it to be a distinct violation of our engagements with the L( nflon Stock TTxchange 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 thorouphly develop by tramway 07 other wise the coal and ether 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 byher resources, hei climate, and her geopraphical position, and after having visited most of England's possessions, I firmly believe ]Sew 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 OE FRANKLIN. . GEKTLTtsiEN,—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 pushr 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 apnsider matters that may be brought before him, and to act on his own judgment. «*■ Your obedient servant, y WILLIAM GOODFELLOW Otaoa MarcElß,lß74.
