EXCHANGE AND COST OF LIVING
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—Surely Mr. Coates is.not serious when ho says the raising of tho exchange rate lias riot increased the cost of living. Can ho say that if it were not for this gift to the farming community goods would not have been cheaper? Locally inado articles have now greater.. protection, yet we cannot produce to sell at the present imported prices, which goes to show that British manufacturers- have more than done their part. Yet we penalise them by high tariff and exchange, etc. Then wonder why they don't take our produco ad lib. It is high tim'6' the man and woman in tho street: d*id: a little plain thinking for themselves. I am a staunch supporter of: the Reform Party yet cannot reconcile myself to that party's special 'plank about spreading the burden,' equal sacrifice, etc., when the unemployment tax « collected from any person getting 10s a week yet a household worker getting 30s a week br more is exempt.—l am, etc., .
A KEFOBMEE.
