I beg most respectfully to offer myself as a candidate for the honour of representing the newly-formed Electoral District of Te Aroha ia your House of Representatives. On the 15th of April last I had the privilege of stating my views on the leading topics of the day, at a large meeting at Te Aroha, and I afterwards forwarded a copy of the address I delivered on that occasion to every voter in the district. My political views are, therefore, now well known to you. I am decidedly opposed to any addition to the fiuaucial burdens, already too great, which the country has to bear, and should unquestionably vote against any further borrowing, or any additional loans. At the samo time I consider the financial position of New Zealand, as far as its public debt is concerned, a perfectly sound and solvent one ; and there cannot be a more satisfactory proof of this than the fact that it is now possible to replace the old loans as they fall due by new ones at a much lower rate of interest. I am in favour of the abolition of the Property-tax, regarding it as a tax which is a direct tine oti industry, thrift, and improvements, and I should be prepared to vote for its total or gradual extinction at the first practicable opportunity. I consider tint much might be done in this direction by further retrenchment in the annual expenditure, and by the saving which will be effected in the way of interest, as old loans are replaced by new ones.

I am in favour of a radical reform in the management of the Government Railways, so that greater facilities should bo civeu tor the transit of passengers, at reasonable fares, and also for the conveyance of goods and freight, at far cheaper rates than at present. The Education voto is one which will require most careful watching, and while it is undoubtedly the duty of the State to see that every child shall receive a souud elementary educatiou, it is not the duty of the State to do more than this, except in the case of children of remarkable talent. 1 ain a firm believer in the principled of Free Trade, and consider them essential to the progress and prosperity of a nation. The subject of Federation is one of very great importance, and one which will require most careful consideration, and although it is highly probable that in the end it may be found desirable for New Zealand, still at present it is far the bust and safest policy to avoid anything like undue or reckless haste. The mining interests of New Zeiiland are most important, and promise to be such a source of wealth to the country that it is the duty of the Government to foster ami develop them in every possible way, as by doinu so they will not oidy benelit those interested in mining, but also those connected with agriculture, ami other branches of industry. I regret that it was not in my power to address meetings in the different places in the district before I left for England, but I hope to have the pleasure of doing so before longHaving a large Btake in the Electoral District, my interests are the same ae yours, and everything that tends to the prosperity of the dia-
