TO THE KLKCTOH3 OD 1 WAIKATO. f^i ENTLKMICN,— I lav in very \TT numerous requests of the •warmest and most iiiendiy n.ituie from »!l [>.'uts of tho cl ef "•.<!], 1 te that I should do so, I have decided to oft'ci myself i'or the i'ouith time for election as your leproscntutive in Parlmment. I desire to nay, however, that even if thcßO expressions of good- will had been much looH numerous ami widely distributed I should still have deemed it my duty to come foiward at whatevor cost so long us there appeared to be the slightest chance of a suppoiter of the present Government idling tho plave which you Live f><> long and so pleasantly permitted me to occupy. I think I can say with tiuth that I Ijmvc ne\er been looked upon as a \ ioleut party m.in ; still I d. sire to s.iy most emphatically that, as matters political now htand, I consider it a solemn duty devolving upon every mau who cares a lap for iiiß adoptcu country, or who has children growing up in it, to kick out of office and to keep out of power a Government like the present ono. When I address 3011 shortly I think I can easily show to those who don't know it already (and they must surely bo few) that the Government, b'y their repeated Hacrifioe of principle, by their departure from nearly all their pledges, by the means to which they have resorted to obtain support, and by their internal dis sensions, have done fifty times more to degrade representative institutions in the eyes of the people, and to damage the credit of tbe colony as a place for settlement in the eyes of Europe, than all pieviousGovernmcnte put together. Now they affoid u&tho spcctucle of men who were but recently declared Free Traders, making another bid for office under the pretenco of a policy of Protection, which, when viewed by the light of their proposed Customs Duties Bill, simply means increased burden* upon the people, and moro money for them to spend without any compensating benefits whatever. Being well known to you all, until I meet you on the.pl utform I need only add, as regards my policy that I belong- to a number of men who mean to say to any future Government this : In future the colony must live within its actual income ; tbe gross burden of taxation must not be incrensad ; deficits must be met by reduced expenditure and misfortunes by economy, and also that a general system of reduced expenditure must be commenced at once and carried into effect ns speed ly as possible. — 1 am* yours faithfully, J. B. WHYTE. ► June 22nd, 1887.
