Citizens and Settlers! Please Compare THE Two Customs Tariffs AND Reflect Upon Their Inequality. AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH TARIFF. (This door is practical! v closed lo ?*"■•«■ ; Zealand.) i Flour p«r cental. 2s. hi Oatmeal and Uollcd Oat.? ... id per lb. (EquaLi £i 13s. EE per ton) Bran and Sharps per cental, Is. Potatoes per cwt, Is. Butter and Ohecso per lb., ad. Wheat p.T cMitiii, Is. bd Oats jw cntal, Is. 6E NEW ZEALAND TARIFF. (About 150 per cent. lower than Amtralia.

If these Duties are removed, haw would the New Zealand farmci' fare? N.B.—Mr. Hogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts do not sugg-est the. removal of tho duties on the raw materials (wheat, oats, etc.). It is obvious they aro "running with the li.u-e and hunting with the hounds,'' E-Er object being to kill the grain-gro\ .ng and milling industries, with their ::i. -n©rous adjuncts, such as southern n ilways, etc., and naturally th shrinkage would have to bo met by increasing :be tßaetiascn railages, etc. Their theory is ono tax en tlio land only and freo trade. When this v. as given birth to the Asiatic problem vas unhatched. What encouragement wield there bo to go on tlie land unless Eio products of tho soil are protecteii on the samo lines as our rivals? JL -,v would our town industries thrive v doi such stupidityi Could they comet c against tlie sweated surplusages ol Eio world, unless amply protected? A"d oven now it is with -a shrgcle Eiev < xist. It is obvious the single Lax tueery is only one tax on the land, and if gEen effect to would abolish the Alien led Tax and bring us down to tho As. a tic level.—Yours truly, CHAMPION'S COMMON-SENS!:. i
