TO THE ELECTORS OF MOUNT IDA. 'Gentlemen,— MH'. OLIVER having Resigned'hia. ' position as Member, for Mount Ida in the Provincial Council, I'ofifetf the. Electors, according to promise, my services. S ■■', '" •

In doing this I desire to draw attention to the fact that, -ii« .suitable local man will stand (such;;as your present member) I think tlie electors ought to support him in preference to a stronger, ;I can hardly, however,, be called a stranger, having already served you in<tho Provincial Council; and ypu are all wep, aware.iif. jjay t political opinions, whiolv have not altered; v . , ' With.regard to the abolition of the Provincial Councils', I have always been, arid';still am, favorable tO'-sucb a measure*—if it can be brought about'carefully and wisely, and with dU'> protection to our laud revenue, and interest which'is'of the most vital importance to our Province. With me it is no new opinion got up for; the occasion, as tho following passages, from my address to you, which appeared in the 'Mount Ida Chronicle' of February 17th, 1871, will show ■"I will first touch on Provincialism, though I confess there is. such a conglomeration of Governments that it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. Provincial Government has effected much good in the past, but it has served its day; and, to perpetuate that system in its present form, would be a cur bo lather than otherwise. . . . Each Province has an expensive staff of paid officials. ow, it must be apparent, that, if -the Provinces aud Counties were under, one Government, there would be a great saving in departmental expenses alone. I woula not abolish Provincialism altogether, but I would reduce their- number, and do away with so many .petty and expensive Governments. Nc doubt there would be obstacles in the way, arising out of so many land laws and so many Provincial debts, but these would be more than counterbalanced by the solid advantage gained." Before, however, taking so radical a step, I would like to have a* clear idea of the means by which we will protect our local interests. F« e . i might be judicious ,for us in the Middle Island to wait arid See how the new system works in the IJorth Island, before adopting it here. - As to theJDuty on Gold, I will do all in my power (if returned) to abolish that invidious and unjuit impost.. I cannot see it is either an act of justice or wise policy to impose a heavy tax on. one of the most important branches of industry, while others less important are fostsrocland encouraged. I shall -ever opWoW 'the selling bf laTge blocks of our public land to the wealthy; Such proceedings will only tend to the estab-' lishment of a landed aristocracy. - great wealth and power on the one hand, and poverty and'servitude on the other.' lam in favor of leajfog all national lands; but, if that will be foMd. impracticable in the meantime, I will supptfri'-any jrieasures that' may have for their objects the placing.'of the industrious working 'man on his. own freehold, on the principle of''deferred payments. 1190k uf>on tbe present system of wholesale and undetected immigration with dread, and would, rather see a more limited but more useful stream of immigrants approaching our shores.' ' . On other matters I need not dwell at present, as you knoWmy opinions, and as I havenothing'toTrecant or withdraw. It is not ray'intention to make a ptrHonal canvass, or to address you before the election, as I think it quite unnecessary. If, however, you do me. the'honor of returning me as your ruprnsentativei I will take the unusual of • d&ing' sfj immediately afterwards in order to consult with you as to the best method of futhering the interests of tho district. ; ' " *' I sha3l then do so with more confidence, as I Isnow the. .of Mount Ida will not bo led astral by anything parties may sayparties who, are: looking t about for vacant constituencies .as n. f heti;.'looks about for an empty nfjrft..tliat, she/may comfortably sii. ou, or by entrapped by promises, never intended to l>o the celebratcd^j'azors.
