WE think the time lias arrived to re- j suseitate Dominion wboat growing, ere it is too late, by putting our protective duties on a parity with the Australian ones, which have made Australia one of the granaries of the world at reasonable prices, as under normal conditions it has always had a surplus. Under normal conditions, grain contributes about three-fifths of the Canterbury railway revenue, without mentioning its numerous adjuncts. If grain growing is killed, what would make good the railway and labour defieienoes, as on Mi e raw material there aro always two labour handlings, tut not so on the imported manufactured articles? Just imagine North and South Canterbury and North Otago huge sheep runs, and would not this serious and short-sighted innovation affect land values and all iinds of labour, augmented with the ihipping ports Lyttelton, Timnru and Jammu in a state of collapse ? Without mm and sharps, how would our bacon, lairy, poultry, and carrying industries ixist in the event of an Australian trough i ? Is it business-like to send our money o Australia for our food supply when it s subject to droughts, and for what we sail grow in abundance in the Dominion ? -as about half the valuo in all instances s labour and railages, and with our lads 'oturning employment must be found for Bern, otherwise they will go elsewhere, md we will become obsolete though in >ur infancy.
