THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
I III: Sl-U.l ISIINKSS os Al\xy Fakmkus. Do many of the farmers in New Zealand ever think at all!-' Will they think who buys their butter 7 Who buys their cheese? Who buys their wool, lamb, mutton? England buys them all. and yet the farmers buy American implements, American cat's, and whatever else of foreign goods they can got. There are many thousands of thoughtless, selfish farmers in New Zealand whose policy is summed up a these lew words: "We shall take all we can get: from fhe Old Country. We demand the highest prices from the Old Country lor all we sell, hut we shall go. and do go, to loreign countries, especially America or German;' and Sweden, for nearly everything we require'." Karmers such ns these are lighting all they know against New Zealand and British prosperity. Their god is tho worship of self; their principle. self. The rest can go to starvation or. worse, to the devil. —The New Zealander.
