'F ever during the History of New . Zealand it was a matter of neoesaity to practioo eoonomy, to be prudent in the outlay of money, and to be careful of tho penoo, sarely that time ia new. It ia a very true saying, " If every man wonld sweep his own dcor the town wonld be olean, ' equally true and more to the point that " Eoonomy begins at home," and following close upon the heels of these sayings comes the natural deduction that were these things truly followed out the salvation of the country, as regards freedom from bad trade, would be ensured. But as they are not, bad times will come spite of all that can be done or said In favor of eoonomy. Bad however as trade and times may be, a great deal of the difficulty may be warded off by practising ordinary care in outlay of income. Thus a person wants a piece of say, Beef ; the price Is 7d per pound at one shop, and 6d at another. The result is the beef is purchased at the cheapest shop. Now follow this out again. A man goes to his daily work, and on arrival finds he is late, loses perhaps an hour's time, and the cause of being late at work—What is it ?

I need hardly, therefore state that I am, and always have been, a Liberal, and, should I be re-elected, I should promote the passing of the following measures:- — 1. An Electoral Bill on a liberal basis, manhood suffrage, with a nx months' residential qualification. Registration at any time during year, and lengthened hours for voting, but would strongly oppose the dual vote to the Maoris. 2. A Re-distribution of Seats Bill upon a fair population basis. 3. A Property Tax, which would compel every man to contribute in proportion to his means to the cost of the Government of the country, omitting from taxation small property holders. 4. Any re-adjustment of taxation, by which It can be shown that the actual consumer can be benefited without at the same time seriously impairing the revenue. 6. The question of Free Trade policy is engaging attention at Home at the present moment, and it Is a matter for grave consideration here whether it will not be sound policy in this new country to foster and encourage those industries and productions which it may be satisfactorily proved are and can be established in the colony. 6. Secular Education by the State. 7. Triennial Parliament Bill. 8. General Licensing Bill, if Including local option, then with compensation clauses. 9. Continuance of Public Works, with full regard to their reproductive character. 10. Such a re-modelling of the Native office as will do away with the present and past system of personal Government in Native matters. 11. I am opposed to the establishment of direct steam communication for immigration purposes for the present. 12. I would support an Act to fairly control the Chinese immigration. If elected, I reserve to myself the right to criticise the acts of any Ministry, and so far olaim to be an Independent Member. And it will be remembered I voluntarily retired from the office of Minister for Public Works, after holding office from the end of the year 1872 to 1877. The reason I opposed the Government during the past cession was that I did not approve of their administration. I shall take early opportunity of addressing yon in the various parts of the district, And am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, 793 EDWARD RICHARDSON. TO THE ELECTORS OF CHRISTa ENTLEMEN,—In offering myself for re-election, I beg to lay before you the following statement: — I am favorable to every permanent colonist in New Zealand having a vote, whether by residential qualification or otherwise, and I have shown this by supporting the Electoral Bill of last year, which was abandoned by the present Ministry after it had been passed in the shape in Which they proposed ic. Nothing will induce me to support what is commonly known as the " Maori Dual Vote " which the Ministry wish to give to the Maoris. I am a supporter of free, compulsory, and undenominational Education. I was the first Candidate who advocated Triennial Parliaments at the last General Election, and have always voted for it sinoe. I have for a number of years supported the sale of Crown Lands on deferred payments, as tending to assist the settler of small means. I am favorable to regular and sufficient provision being made for Hospitals and Charitable Institutions and purposes, and am consequently opposed to the views of both the late and present Governments, who have proposed to rely largely on voluntary contributions for those objects. Whatever further revenue may be required to support the public expenditure should, in my opinion, be raised by a general property tax, as advocated by me at the last general election, to be imposed npon a strictly equitable principle. I shall take early opportunities of addressing you, when I shall be glad to answer questions you may wish to put to me on any other subjects of public interest. 799 E. C. J. STEVENS.
