TRUTH WILL P&EVAIL. NO one will question the accuracy of the Customs returns. A paper laid before Parliament this week fur» nishes a table of the consumption of articles in common nse, which is start" ling until the surrounding circumstances , are considered, and the reason only strikes one like the flash ot an electric searchlight. The consumption of Sugar and Tea for the the two past jears, and the duty paid per head of population, is stated thus : — Lbs Duty Total lbs used, per head, per head Sugar, 1895. 65,568,960 88 5 3s B*l Sugar, 1896, 67.395,840 89*4 3s 8f d Increase ... 1,826 880 9 Ojd Tea, 1895, 4,472,528 604 2s 6jd Tea, 1896, 4,431,480 588 Is U£d Decrease ... 41,0i8 -16 7±& It seems incredible that while the I people u^ed more sugar they ehould consume less Tea. The explanation is that • the China and Indian Teas are rapidly going out of consumption, and the Bntv ish product, grown in Ceylon, is very properly taking their place. Foremost among Ceylon Teas stands the UNftfVALLED SUBATI7RA, and although there have been doubts cast upon the claims that have been made for its BTBKNGTH and WONDERFCTL KCONOMT, the official testimony that 41,048 fewer pounds of Tea have proved sufficient for an increase of population of 13,317 in ihe 1896 period is too convincing to admit of further question. SUKATURA TEA is not blended with Indian or China teas, nor is it handled from the time it leaves the stores in Ceylon until it reaches the consumer. Reflect and consider what you are losing annually by using ordinary tea. Ask your grocer for, and iusi«t upon having, SURATCTKA, and no other, W. G. BHEAHEE, Unpebjaker.
