CLEARING SALES our specialty. Distance no object. Large Stock of now and secondhand Furniture, etc., on hand. Come and See Why ketp the Australia* Industries going, to the Ruination of our own, when Money ■is required for War Loans, Shrinking Revenue, and Employment ? WE think the time has arrived to resuscitate Dominion wheat 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 grauaries 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 tho Canterbury railway revenue, without mentioning its numerous adjuncts. If grain giowing is killed, what would make good the railway and labour defioienoes, as on tho raw material there are always two labour handlings, but not bo on the imported manufactured articles ? Just imagine North and South Canterbury and North Otago hugo sheep runs, and would not this serious and short-sighted innovation affect land values and all kinds of labour, augmented with the shipping ports Lyttelton, Timaru and Oamatu in a state of collapse ? Without bran aud sharps, how would our buoon, 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 when it is subject to droughts, and for what we can grow in abundance in the Dominion ? —as about half the value in all instances is labour and and with our lads returning employment must be found for them, otherwise they will go elsewhere, and wo will become obsolete though in our infancy.
