Special Advertisements. rpo THE ELECTORS OF THE -*• ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF TE AROHA. Gentlemen,— I beg most respectfully to offer myself aa a. candidate for the honour of representing the newly-formed Electoral District of Te Aroha in your House of Representatives. On the loth of April last I had the privilege of stating my views on tho leading topics of the day, at a large meeting at To 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 financial burdens, already too great, which the country has to bear, and should unquestionably vote against any further borrowing, or any additional loans. At the same 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 i.han the fact that it is now possible to replace the old loans as they full 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 on industry, thrift, and improvements, and I should be prepared to vote for its total or gradual extinction at the first practicable opportunity. I conaider that much might be don's in this direction by further retrenchment in the annual expenditure, aud by the saving which will be effected in the way of interest, as old loans ace replaced by new ones. I am in favour of a radical reform in the management of the Government Railways, so that greater facilities should be given for the transit of passengers, at reasonable fares, aud also for the conveyance of goods and freight, at far cheaper rates than at present. The Education vote is one which will require most careful watching, and while it is undoubtedly the duty of the State to seo that every child shall receive a sound elementary education, it is not the duty of the State to do more than this, except in the case of children of remarkable talent. 1 am a firm believer in the principles of Free Trade, aud 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 best and safest policy to avoid anything like undue or reckless haste.

The mining interests of New Zealand are most important, and promise to bo such a source of wealth to the country that it is the duty of the Government to foster and develop them in every possible way, as by doiusj so they will not Inly benefit those interested in mining, but also those connected with agriculture, and other branches of industry. I regi-ct that it was not in my power to address meetings in the. different places iu the district before I left for Kutjlund, but I hopo to have the pleasure of doiug so before long. Having u large stake in the Electoral District, my interests arc the same as youra, and everything that tends to the prosperity of the district will bo a beuelit to each of us alike. If you do mo the huuour to elect me aa your representative, I intend to take up my residence at Annandale, and, as a friend and neighbour, I shall do my best to promote your local interests, and in your House of Representatives I shall also, to the best of my ability, advocate and support the policy and principles which I have laid down in this address. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours most sincerely, WM. S. ALLEN. Woodhead Hall, Cheadle, Staffordshire, June b'tb, 1890.
