Electoral. mO THE RATE PAYERS OF URAFTON , JL WARD. Ladies ,oin Gentleiiisn,— Having had placed in my hands a Humorously and inftuentially sinned requisition desiring me to offer myself us your representative In the City Council, and having complied with such request, I think it mlviaublo that my views on some matters concerning the district should be placed Wore you. In drainage and road t'uriniition your district is very much behind, and 1 hold the opinion that drainage and other sanitary works should take ! precedence of all others, as the health of a district depends mainly on tins. In street formation, 1 am convinced that much im provement might be made without itny vory lartje outlay of city funds. The want of more means of communication between Graf ton Koad and Symonds-ifU'cet, besides the one already suggested near to the burial grounds. I think that provision should bo niude for at least one. other connecting street before land in thclocalltr ■ ineraisijs too mucli in value. With regard to larger tjuesl ions ailed inff the whole citj", lam of opinion that posterity has been too much considered at the manifest cost of the Rate payers of the. present day ; not that I object to works of such a nature boing done that posterity 1 must benclit thereby, but 1 think that in the - raising of any future Loins for City Works of ) any magnitude some schema should be devised ' I to extend the repayment over a longer period, L i and so keep within bounds Die burdens ot' the present Lintepayora. I Uoiniri'SijKiitiully a practical man. should you do iiie'ihe honour to elect, me, my ilrst duty will lie to make myself personally conversant with tin; needs of the district, and do my utmost ■ to remedy them, to see that the district obtains its full share of the city expenditure, .tnd that the cost of every little necessary work is not charged against Grafton's share of the loans »t present authorised. Having no personalinterosta to seryc, f urtlier than that the general advance ment of the district must advance each rato payer's interests. I will always endeavour to meet the wishes of the ratepayers in any sug gestions for improvements, and will atiilltimes he willing to confer with them on all such matters. ---1 trust the ratepayers will refrain from pledging themselves to any candidate. It Is my wish that ratepayers should not bo asl*ed to pledge themselves to me, as I do not hold with the principle, many through business and other connections being constrained to give a promise to on* when their better judgment would havo led them in an opposite direction. You will, us far as possible, be personally re quested to support me, but no special promiso will be asked. Go unfettered to the poll! If a portion of my leisure time, with somo practical experience gained by a residence of more Uuin twenty-live yoarß in our city together with a. fair amount of common sense, and an earnest desire to nerve you conscientiously, is I what you desire, then you will gain these by plucing mo at tlic head of tho poll on the day of olection.—Yonrn, vory respectfully.

This Company is being formed for the purpose of encouraging the Growth of, and forManufac hiring. Tobacco in the Colony of Now Zealand. Various experiments have proved that the climate of New Zealand is peculiarly adapted to the growth of Tobacco, and that in the Auck land Provincial District the beßt Ha*Vtma leaf can be grown, and all that is required to start a most important and remunerative local industry is a tmillcieut amount of capital. Tho Colonial Industries Commission mado the following report oil tho iStli day of Maroh, 1SS0:- AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.-TOBACCO. "The most important agricultural industry which has been brought under tho notico of tho Commission is undoubtedly tho cultivation of Tobacco for manufacturing purposes. The evidence established the fact that any quantity of Tobacco, equal in quality to the linest American, can be crown in New Zealand, and that there is no reason why the whole of tiie Tobacco consumed in tho Colony should not ultimately bo produced and manufactured in it. This industry would 'afford prolltablo employment to " cottage fu rmers, also to women and children who would be engaged in manufacturing, and would utilize largo tracts of land, which at pre sent are cither waste or yielding but little, &c. " Tho Commission aro assured that after five or six years cultivation and maaufacturc, Tobacco could bo produced in New Zealand, equal in quality to any tliut is now imported, and that tlio industry once established, the same amount of nivenuo that is now raised by the Customs duty on imported Tobacco could bo raised by means of Btamps on tho locally pro dHced Tobaoco." Tho final report of the Colonial Industries and Tariff Commission, laid boforo tho House of Representatives on tho sth of September, ISBI, on the culture and manufacture of Tobacco, was as follows :— "That in ordorto encourage the growth ana manufacture of Tobacco in New Zealand, your Committee raoommond th*t the duty on Tobacco grown within tho Colony, should b« reduced to One Shilling perlb. for a period of not loss than five yean. In accordanoa with such reoommendation, the following sootion was iifscrted into an Act of tho yoar 1881, entitled "An Act to Alter the Dutios'of Customs and Exoiao.":— ' "In lion of tho bonus specified in goction 12 of the ' Tobacao Aot-. 1870," tho following provisions shall toko elfect on and after the passing of this Act namely—Tho duty on Tobacco manu factured in tho Colony shall bo One Shilling ■per t oimd, and this rato of duty shall ratnaii jn force until the 31st day of December, ISS6." Tho present duty on imported Tobacco is Throe .Shillings and Sixpence per lb, and on Cigars, Six Shilliags. It is estimated Hiat about two tons of To bacco can be obtained from three acres of good Hud and numbers of farmers have oxpressed their willingnoss to enter into contracts for the "rowth of Tobacco at prices varying from five pence to tenpoaoo per lb. for all sound leaf ac cording to quality. The Custom returns for the year ISB2 show that dntv was paid in New Zealand, during that year, on*l,o9o,f>7slbe. of Tobacco, and 88,0721b5. of Clears, or iSOj tons of Tobacco, and 3t)ji tons of Cigars: while tho Victorian returns for 1881 show that tho quantity of manufactured Tobacco imported into that Colony during the yew was !.:»f1,53D1b8., and of unmanufactured leaf, The' market for Tobacco ostelde the Colonies is almost unlimHeii, and no difficulty will be found in advantageously disposing of any sur plus amount that may he growu over and above what will be reouirod for local consumption. Several manufactories of Tobacco and Cigars have been established in tho Colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, but up to the present tiino no manufactory has been establishes in New Zealand, and the Company will not have the disadvantage of competing with others. The Company will be ablo to sell Tobacco and Cigarsataniifhly remunerative price to them selves for muoli less than even tho present duty on imported Tobacco, no that the immense ad- Yantaeo of the development of this industry to Hie publifl who are smokers cantiot be too highly rated Tho total number ef fiu-Biers now contracting is slxty-nina, while the acraage under cultivation exceeds six hundred. It is intended that the Company shall (ako over the contracts which have hem made in anticipation of the formation of the Company. The Company is offering prices of from five pence to eightpenco per lb. for tho large varie ties; up to leiipetico for Havana raw leaf. Tho Promoters beg to call the attsntion of in tending investors to tho fact that they have no intention of buying land, or othorwise expend ing money, except for furnishing farmers with I he necessary quantities of suporior seed, and othimviso putting them in the way of pro ducing au<! harvesting the leaf. The Company aro prepared to become purchasers of their crops at a price rsmuncrati vo both to the grower and the Company as manufacturers. The present enterprise should recommend it 4-K stvonprlv to all New Zealand farmers, mor chanls. and "others interested in the advance and prosperity of the Colony.
