TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LANARK DISTRICT

OF BOROUGHS.

GENTLEMEN,.
PORMULY you were addressed by me on
the subjetl of your election for a Ripreeentative in Par-
liament, and I was afterwards informed that you had retained
the offer of the seat for nearly a fortnight, waiting my arrival
among you.
In consequence of your thus expressed favourable opinion I
offered myself as a Candidate at the succeeding general elec-
tion, and lost the seat by four votes, because I would not ob-
tain a seat by the purchase of a single voter, or enter the
House of Commons as a Member, except by the unbought
suffrages of the electors.
The reasons which induced me to offer to represent you in
Parliament at those periods have now greatly increased.
My desire at those periods to become a Member of the Le-
gislature was to obtain an opportunity to advocate measures to
retard the progress of poverty, immorality, and crime; the
causes for which were then in activity, and upon the continued
increase. The causes of these evils, as 1 then foretold, have,
from that period, continually increased, until they have now
attained a fearful and appalling character; for crime—the con-
sequence of want of beneficial employment, and a sound, prac-
tical education—h is increased in Scotland, according to authen-
tic documents, since I first addressed you, snore than forty fold,
and it is yet upon the increase ; and upon the increase, be-
cause the causes which produce these evils are daily growing
in strength, trona being fostered and encouraged by the errors
of the system in which our country is involved.
You know what I effected among a manufacturing popula-
tion by a sound, practical education and beneficiaremploy-
ment, for nearly 30 year at New Lanark. Poverty, disunion,
vice, and crime, were rnidly diminished, until it became the
most moral, industrious, and the happiest manufacturing village
in the British empire. And yet, under the direction of the
same just principles, with the experience thus acquired, far
greater advantages may be now easily obtained, and perma-
nency secured to the whole of the industrious classes most
beneficially for all classes.
I am desirous of fully explaining those now deeply, interest.
ing, and important subjects in the Imperial Parliament, that
the world may be speedily informed of the great good which
may be obtained for the population of all countries, by national
education and employment, under the direction of sound
practical measures; of measures derived from an accurate
knowledge of sciences hitherto not understood by the Legisla-
tors of any country. It is for the benefit of others 'that I de-
sire to achieve thisldeveloprrient in Parliament. I cannot,
therefore, canvass for votes or incur expense in obtaining a seat,
but if you freely elect me, I will perform my duty to you and
to the public without regard to individual consideration or
interest.

The objects which I should advocate in Parliament, were
I to obtain a seat, would be the following
1. A Graduated Property Tax.
2. The Abolition of all other Taxes.
3. Free Trade with all the World.
4. National Education for all who desire it.
5. Notional Employment for all vto require it.
6. Liberty of Speech and Writing on all subjects, Civil,
Religious, and Political.
7. Full and complete freedom of Religion for Christians,
Jews, Mahomedans, ilindoos, and every other form under every
name by which men may call themselves.
I am, Gentleman, your friend and servant,
ROBERT OWEN.
