New Advetrisesemnt. TO~THE ELECTOi^OF WAIPA. GENTLEMEN.— In offering myself as a candidate to represent you m Parliament, I will briefly state a few of the measures I deem require redress, and the line of policy I would support if returned. Among the measures requiring redress, I look upon the purchase of Native Lands by private speculators as being m the highest degree unjust to the people, who give a value to that property and security m its possession. The Homstead Act should be worked m such a spirit that the best land (and not the worst as at present) might be thrown open to tho sons of Colonists and others who might wish to settle. Progressive taxation of property would cause the large proprietor to contribute his fair, proportion to the relief of the public burden, and prevent the land falling into the hands of a few. Mandood Suffrage with a residence qualification and sufficient checks to prevent its abuse I louk upon as being just m principle and politic m practice, Triennial Parliament, as a necessary check on Representatives. At this crisis, when the schemes of the land ring seem about to be realised, all men of liberal opinions should sink minor considerations, and bind themselves together to return none but men of similar views, m order to secure the lands of the Colony for the people ; and on that platform I offer myself as your representative.
