To the Editor

Sir -Mr Byron Mrown, at his mectinnr here," inndo some misrepreto tho audience ~t talking about customs dnt.es and I sho. e t Mve elector the nght sul" of tho miction. Tt disgusts mo to spo the tactics of these Opposition exudates, mid the way tlioy «*n Wist and twirl some- ideas until one is almost convinced tint they are paint, incr a true picture to thorn; b".-. ionlv wants tho voil drawn aside by the Government candidate, and Mr Field is quite ca.pa'hle of showing up aivl detecting all those misroprosentations. lam taking up Mr Field s sword to fight for him now, while , he is absent, and will strive to annihilate aIV these hungry lions, seek ino- whom thev can devour. At Shannon Inst Friday nmhi Mr Jiyron Brown toW the people th-at there aR . nOnV y duties on oatmeal, flour, lions beans, pickles, sauces, vinegar, cocoa chicory, chocolate, coffee and tna First oF all, nobody pays ■-hity nn 'tea in New Zealand because the merchants nil import in 511b T>okgr, and repack it up, so we never pay dutv on tea or sugar. . Why 'locs not'Mr Brown bo straightforward, liko Mr Field was here the. other nin-ht as reonrds the Government polipv'-whic , ! is to protect our own-industries-and tell the electors that that is tho reason whv thos- articles are dutiable? Ts "game' to iivo the electors (say at his next Levin meet/ng) the two prices ot these articles: that is to say theprice of th.e imported goods, and alongside of i+ srivo the pnre_ ot the samo articles mnde or grown in -Now Zealand? Anv Levin grocer will inform him of the prices in five minutes before his mooting: 51H ,"« point ont tho Wg difference m price hotweon the New Zjvnbml and tho imported strff. When lie remove the duties off those imported articles of course Now Zenlnnd industries wonld not he protected- nnd thev would then have to compete l-ith the imrorted stuff. Thus ", would cripple our own 0,-s • besides the loss of revenue to thV country, how wonld he mike nn for the loss of revenue: who. or Snt would he tax: and what would 1,0. derive from it?
