KEEP THE CHAMPION STANDARD UNFURLED FOR OUR SOLDITRS AND THEIR FAMILIES. Otherwise America Canada, Australia, and Japan, with populations aggregating 215„000,000, will wipe little New Zealand out with its paltry population of a solitary million. \ THE FALLACY OF FREE TRADE. I often notice in the Press some of my people are advocating Free Trade, which would be feasible if it were universal. You know the trouble England got into through allowing the dumping of German surplusages on its markets, and .the miserable pittance its artisans were getting. America was not quite so “philanthropic/’ and has waxed fgt on England’s * short-sighted policy, and which enabled America to advance England £980,000,000 to assist in financing the recent disastrous war. If America had been a free-trade country, w r ould it have been able to make this advance ? Why do not free-traders advocate the removal of the alien poltt-tax ? If it were done it would permit of a much lower rate of wage being paid and a lower cost of production, and, besides, we would have the. cost of maintenance of those subjects, instead of their surplusages in goods with the result that we would soon be brought down to the Asiatic level. Japan, India, and China are making rapid strides in manufacturing, and, with cheap labour • augmented with modern machinery, they will ultimately be a menace to the Brhtsh artisan ; but evidently this is of little moment to “some,” as they appear anxious fort cheap labour and goods without considering its disastrous effects to the British workers. IT IS OBVIOUS THE PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL MUST BE AMPLYPROTECTED AGAINST FOREIGN IMPORTATIONS FROM COUNTRIES WHERE LAND IS LOW IN PRICE AND LABOUR CHEAP; OTHER - . WISE THE DOMINON MUST GO UNDER. I quite believe if you were now to offer made-in-Germany goods at a trifle less than those of British manufacture patriotism, in some instances, would vanish like smoke. I am. VAuckland. God Save the King—and My Peoule!
