Election Notices- TO THE ELECTOES OF FEANKLIN. ■ Gjwtt.icmto.-As an elector of your '^stricil beg to offer myself as a candidatefor the Seat rendered vacant Vy tbe retirement of our late respected lepre sentative. Mr Clarke, and although finable to claim your support for past services I look back with satisfaction to having formed one of a deputation which was appointed at a puMic m? 1 etin? c holf | *t Papakura in the early days of Mr Gillies Suponn tendency to urge upon the Government tho 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 norse made his first trip into the crarden of our district. Firstly, then, as regards the Colonial policy, s^irt you honour me with your confidence I shall support the present Government in carryingout the various railway lines already accepted by the Legislature, and in the event af those proving payable wouM turtnpr assist1 it in extending ■them as far as Wellington in the North Maud, and from the Bluff to mther Picton or Nelson in the South. You will at once perceive the benefit of such a line when I add that MS™"™ this work to be undertaken Auckland, from her geographical position and unrivalled harbour must assuredly become the terminus in New Zealand of the Fiji ant San Francisco steamers, as passengers ami mails could then be forwarded to and from Otago in a ooui-le of elkys or so by rail, when they cannot at m-esent arrive, by sea, in less than five (lays. I shall support any motion for the thorough overhaul of the Immigration 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 ot iur Voxel's scheme. , While fully alive to the delicate nature of our re latinns with the Maori race, as an inhabitant of JS cw Zealand, and consequently a subject of the same Queen, and living under the same laws as the natives, I cannot conrcicntiously bring myself to believe (ana T think history will bear me out W the assertion) tnat 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 th»nkfni for peace if not purchased at too great a sacrifice ot money and self-respect. Providing the revenue to admit of it I snail 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 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 community for the beneat Ot a few manufacturers and their friend*. While con curring in eranting bonusses to encourage certain in-, Vlustries. still in the long run I believe New South, Wales will be found correct, and that the best policy for a young country like ours to pursue, necessarily handicapped by dear money and dear labour, will bo found in exporting as much raw material, whether in the shape of wool, wheat gum, flax, timber, or gold, ns we can lav our hands upon, and importing aa little as possible from our neighbours. Let us pursue this policy, and private enterprise, when'later on in onr history it is supported by abundant and cheap skilled labour, will very so^'n establish industries, which will return a fair interest upon the outlay, un «ubsidlr<;d 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 also in liberty of conscience : and here arises the stumbling-block in a community divided as we are into so manjr 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 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 onr 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 >y Catholic inst'uetors I know many would object to (his upon the ground of' class legislation, pr lpgislatirg for a minority, but to compensate for this, and judging from the views lately expressed by Father Norrfs at the Thames touching the Education Tax, I think our Catholic fellow-colonists would not r>bj«ct 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 ,C 1 a year, and then are debaired from making any use of the schools provided, so that if the foregoing plan was adopted T believe an Education Act conlcl be passed next session which would prove satisfactory to all concerned. ' I would suggest to the Government the advisability of establishing a Hailway' Passenger's Accident Tn7 fsurance Company as in England, so 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 T shall endeavour, in conjunction with the other Northern members, to impress upon the 'Government the immediate necessity of ro-adjusting the fiscal burdens of the colony, so that the weight of taxation may full more 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 Lr.ndon Stock Hxcbange 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' df 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 England'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 OE FRANKLIN. Gentlemen,—The writ for the Election being now issued may remind you I ani a Candidate, and beg respectfully to solicit your'suffrages. I mean to support the Oovernment in the Public , Works, and Immigration Policy and iv 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.
