WORDS OF WISDOM O MY PEOPLE When a demand arises for an article, and if tho supply should not be quite equal to the demand, it creates a scarcity, consequently higher prices. ? English ideas and customs have been introduced into the Orient, and are spreading rapidly ; this, along with the world's increasing population, has caused an extra demand for all kinds of food, etc., and as -the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it at once 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 into the. reasons why the cost of living had increased. It has been officially stated, while the cost of living had increased 50 per cent. during the last"so Jfears,' wages had only increased 15 per cent, for the saimo period, so it is obvious taxing the land wiH not reduce the cost of living, nor increase the workers' wages, and the only remedy for Great Britain is Protection. The Orient has, and is erecting, huge industries equipped with modern machinery. _ worked, and to be (with Asiatic labour. The question Suggests itself to my people— how can any English speaking " country ©o(pe with this menac«|Minless amply protected to save our industries and wage earners from being brought jdown to the Asiatic level The Single Tax theory is absolutely one tax on the land and free trade. It is apparent it would not lessen the cost of production, but reduce wages to cope with Asiatic labour, augmented with modern ~m achin■ery. There 1 is still hope, as I am credibly informed the success of the Single Tax policy will depend upon the world adopting it; this ought to ensure safety for a time. During my varied experience* I found that quack recipes were harmful to those with imaginary ailments, but 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 feaßt upon the well-known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc., viz: — ' . _ ... ; Ample protection .on things .we can produce, and .good wages—"GHAlVJ|Atvuuvt| aiiu >gwu rr u^vd—.
