Why hep the Amlraliun Industrie* going, to the Ruination of our own, when Money is required for War Loam, Shrinking Revenue and Rmvhymtnt 1-

WE think tho time has arrived to resuscitate Dominion wheat growing, ere it is too lato, by putting our protective dutios on a parity with tho Australian ones, which have made Australia one of the granaries of tho world at .reasonable pricos, as under normal conditions it has always hud a surplus. Undor normal conditions, grain contributes about throo-fifths of the Canterbury railway revenue, without mentioning its numorous adjuncts. If grain growing is killed, what would make good tho railway and labour deficiences, as on tho raw material there are always two labour handlings, but not so on the imported manufactured articles? Just imagine North and South Canterbury and North Otago huge sheep runs, and would not this sorious and shortsighted innovation affect land valuos and all kinds of labour, augmented with the shipping ports Lyttelton, Thnaru and Oamaru in a state of collapse ? "Without bran and sharps, how would our bacon, dairy, poultry, and carrying industries exist in tho event of an Australian drought ? Is it business-like to send our money to Australia for our food supply whon ft is subjoot to droughts, and for what we can grow in abundance in tho Dominion ? —iiß about half the valuo in all instances is labour and railages, and with our lads returning employment must be found for them, othorwiso they will go elsowbore, and wo will become obsoleto though in our infancy.
