I AM IN FATOUR OF
the Extension of the Right of Voting for Members of Parliament,
and that, to protect the poor and honest voter in the free exercise of
his suffrage, the Ballot should be substituted for the present mode
•
of votin.l.
That the Duration of Parliament should never extend beyond
Three Years, and tho Act requiring a property qualification for
Members of Parliament should be repealed.
Attached to the principles of Free Trade, I will not only
strenuously oppose every attempt to restore the Corn-laws, but
will. with My utrxidst ability, aid in procuring the removal of all
restrictions upon the free exchange of the products of our national
industries with those of all other countries.
Our financial policy, based upon no just political or economical
principle, requires to be thoroughly revised, so as to reduce our
expenditure, and render our system of taxation more equitable in
its operations.
In our Military, Naval, Diplomatic, and Colonial Establishments,
large savings may be effected without impairing their efficiency.
The Income Tax, Probate Duty, and Post-Hire Duty, are examples
of the mode by which some classes of the community and some
descriptions of property are unfairly and improperly assessed.
As one of the representatives of the pecple, it would be my duty
to endeavour, unceasingly, to promote economy of exnenditure and
to stipport the introduction of measures by which all classes may
oontribute their fair proportion to the reyentie of the .State. The
reasons offered for the increase of our standing army are; to my
mind, inconclusive, and I have therefore opposed, and shall continue
to oppose, a forced and unequal, conscription in the form of a Militia.
In a free state, religious opinions should not prevent either the
enjoyment of civil rights or of political power, and I have always
supported the removal of all disabilities on account of religious faith,
and I have been, and shall be, the humble but energetic advocate of
complete religious equality.
I am opposed to the payment of any religious denomination from
the taxes raised for secular purposes, and I am deeply convinced
that a large amount of the demoralization and crime which unhap-
pily exists in these islands arises from a deficiency of education in
the masses of the people.
I should, therefore, give my earnest and active support to any
measures which would diffuse sound secular education amongst all
classes of my fellow-subjects.
The :Reform of the Court of Chancery, the Abolition of the Eccle-
siastical Courts, the Government of our Colonies, by and through
their own freely-chosen representatives, are subjects which- must
occupy the attention of Parliament during the coining Session, and
in the consideration of these great questions my conduct would be
guided by the great principles of a steady, impartial, and inexpen-
sive administration of the laws, and of full, fair, and free popular re-
presentation.
Believing that the frecdom which is enjoyed by the British people
is mainly owing to the diffusion of municipal institutions, and the
exercise of the power of local self-government, I am opposed to thu
centralization in the hands of Government-appointed Commissions
the administration or control of local affairs, but that the people
should govern themselves through their freely-chosen represen-
tatives.
The vast and important interests in the Borough of Finsbury re-
quire from its Members of Parliament a careful attention to its local
affairs, and should I have the honour to be chosen as one of your
representatives, it will be my duty, as well as my pleasure, to devote
an assiduous and energetic attention to the general affairs of the
Borough, as well as to the imperial interests of the country.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Park Village West, Regent's-park. JAMES WYLD.

G"NFIELD PATENTAUTION• STARCH.
C
TO WHOLESALE GROCERS, DRUGGISTS, &c., &c.
It having lately come t) my knowledge, that some unprincipled
person has for some time past been imposing on my Customers, and
the public generally, by offering for sale a Spurious and Trashy
imitatian of the Glernield Starch, This is to give Notice, that I
am the Original and Sole Proprietor and only Manufacturer of the
GLENFIELD PATENT STARCH, and that none is genuine unless
my name be distinctly printed on every Packet, aad only can be had
from my Wholesale Depots, 40, Dunlop-street, Glasgow, or 40, King
William-street, City, London.
This caution is published by me to prevent further imposition upoa
the public, and serious injury to myself.
