SUDBURY ELECTION.

ELECTORS,
In announcing., my intention to CONTEST the
REPRESENTATION of your BOROUGH, it is
my duty explicitly to state to you the Political and Social Con-
siderations by which I am impelled to such step.
The manifest indifference, not to say hostility, of the Repre-
sentative Branch of the Legislature to the vital interests of the
Commonalty—as evidenced by its repeated and recent determina-
tion not to inquire into the destructive effects of the inhuman
Breast Tax, convinces me of the absolute necessity of affording
to every section of the Electoral Body all possible opportunities
of correcting the mo,nentous evil which threatens at nee our
Commercial Ascendancy, and Social Happiness.
I do not present myself to your notice in the garb or guise of
either of the Political Factions, ever struggl.ng for govern-
mental mastery whilst reckless of the intet gists of the empire
and of man ; nor do I ask or hope the support of a single
Whig or of a single Tory among your body as a demonstration
of patty politics, or as evidence of allegiance to the follies of
feudalism. I greatly prefer addressing you as Christian men
and as bread eaters, professing myself purely and simply a Re-
pealer of that iniquitous Law which sentences the industrial
masses to live upon an insufficiency of food.
A tax upon food taxes life, and inflicts disease and death on
the most useful portion of society. The legislators, who per-
petrate this inhumanity, have repeatedly refused all inquiry
into the operation of the law which enacts that the luxuries o f
the rich shall be supplied from the hard-earnings of the poor.
Hundreds of f.ousands of honest and virtuous men, women,
and children, are sentenced to inevitable pauperism and prema-
ture death by this modern barbarism of gradual starvation by
Legislative enactment.
The children of industry are forbidden to sell their labour to
the best advantage, or to purchase their food at the best market.
The Bread-tax of the Landowners inflicts this cruel injustice
upon the toiling and starving population of the first commercial
empire in the world.
Amid this desolation of the hearth and heart, what sympathy
can be hoped, what aid expected, from either of the political
parties, in whose conjoint venality the infliction originated, and
by whose ruthless selfishness it is continued ! I therefore call
upon you to renounce the heartless puerilities of Whiggisin and
Toryism, and to proclaim yourselves the advocates of iireadism
and the friends of man. _

Be the total and immediate Repeal of the Bread-tax your
political principle • and let that principle be the pivot of your
present electoral effort.
I ask your suffrages as bread-eaters ; I offer you the opportu-
nity of recording your votes in favour of humanity and of jus-
tice ; and I call upon you to reject with contempt the advo-
cate of the Bread-tax, the representative of that accursed sys-
tem which assumes the misery of millions to be essential to the
interests of a few insolvent landowners.

Electors of Sudbury—Be true to yourselves, and you may
calculate upon the admiration and gratitude of your country,
and en the devoted fidelity of your obediet•t servant,
London, June 3, IS4O. JAMES ACLAND.
