WORDS OF WISDOM PJIO MY PEOPLE— When' a demand anises for 1 an articflie, and if the supply should n!ot be ■ quite equal to the demand, it ere- \ aites a scarcity, consequently higher ' pricea. English ideas.-, and customs fcave ; fceem introduced'into the Orient, and are spreading rapidly j this, along with, the world.'® mcfreaemg popular toon, has caused a© extra demand, for 1 all kinds of food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it a(t once reflects on the producing countries, and raises prices. Great Britain is the ■ only- free tretde country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few days ago, a Commission was appointed to inquire; into the reason® why the cost of Kvumg had increased. It has been.' officially stated, white the cost of ftving had .increa&ed 50! per cent, during the--lost 25 year s/ wages Tund only increased 15 per cent, for 1 tflbue j&ame period; so it is obvious taxing the land, will not reduce the cost of living,, inor increase the workers wages, and the only remedy for Great Britain is Protection. The Orient liae, and" is erecting, bug© industries equipped with, modern machinery, wor ted', and to be, with Asiatic liabo<ur. Th)e question. succests itself to .my people—how dan any English-speaking' country oope with this menac© _ aimpJy protected to sawe our industries and wage earnters from being brought down* to the Asiatic:lievei?, . The Sangjle Tax theory is absototelyone tax on the Hand and free trader. R is apparent it wotuld -not lessen. . the cost of production, but reduce wiages to cope with labour., aummenited with modem machamOTy. There-is stiKefenge*?aa£l*'AM -enwaflw informed the success ef the ,Smffle Tax policy will depens. upon ■ phe world adopting itj tMs .to 1 cure safety far a time.
