Keep toe Champion Standard Unfurled And Success will Continue. The Fallacy of Free Trade. 1 OKTKN notice In the pres.SySome of my people are advocating Free Trade, which would be it were universal. You know the trouble Kngland got into through allowing the dumping of German surplusages on iis markets and the miserable pittance its artisans were getting. America was not quite so " philanthropic, has waxed fat on England's shortsighted -oHcy. The Americans are noted for " points," but invariably they are for themselves. Why do not free traders advocate the removal of the alien poll tax ? If it were done, it would permit of a much lower rate of wage hein| paid, and a lower cost of production ; and besides, we would have the cost of maintenance of those subjects instead of their surplusages in goods wth the lesnl that we would soon be brought down to the Astatic level. Japan, India and China are making rapid strides in manufacturing, and with cheap labour, augmented with modern machinery, they will ultimately be a menace !o the British artisan; but evidently this is of little moment to "soxe," as they appear anxious for cheap labour and goods without sldering its disastrous effects to the British workers. It is obvious the products of the soil must be amply against foreign importatl us from countries where land is low in labour cheap, otherwise the Dominion must suffer. I quite believe if you were now to offer made inOerraany goods at a trifle less thaa those of British manufacture, patiiotism, in some Instances, would vanish like smoke. I am, V ~ AUCKLAND.
