TO MY PEOPLE,- , When'a demand arises for an article, wid.if''the supply should not be quite equal to the demand, it creates a scarc;ity/*consequently higher prices, English ideas and customs have been introduced into the Orient, and are spread- ' tog japidly; this, along \y/th .the world's increasing population, has caused an extra demand for nil kinds of ~ food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it at ■ ofiee reflects on the producing countries and raises prices. Great Britain is 'the only free, trade -' country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few days ago, a Commission was appointed to inquire iato'the reasons why the cost of living had increased, It "has been officially stated, while the cost of living had in- - ereased 50 per cent, during the last 25 years, wages had only increased 15 per cent, for the same period, so it is obvious taxing the land will not reduce the cost of living, nor increase the .• workers' wages, and the only remedy ' for Great Britain is Protection. Tne Orient has, and is erecting, huge *; industries equipped with modem ma--1 chinery worked, and to be with . Asiaatic labour. The question suggests itself to my people-now. can any English .speaking country cope with this menace unless amply protected to saw;our; industries and wage-earners ' j ftea being brought down to the '. Asiastic lavel. < Tne Single Tax theory i 3 absolutely i one tax on the land and freetrade. It ; . is apparent it would not lessen the ' cost of production, but reduce wages to cope,with Asiastic labw, augmented with modern machinery. There is still ' hope, as lam credibly informed the succeis of the Single Tax policy would de- ' pend upon the world adopting it; this , otigflt to insure sofety for a time. During my varied experience I ■< found that quack recipes were harm- :.„ ful to those with imaginary ailments, r bat they have the option of becoming well and remaining here if they will follow my advice. I strongly advise my people, and the imaginary sufferers to wast upon the well-known recipes, prosperity and longevity, etc. viz : Ample protection 04 things we can 1 produce, and good wages- "CHAMPION MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR and ROLLED OATS. ■' ' ' I remain, Always at your'service, GMPIIE
