WOKDS OF WISDOM 10 MY PEOPLE When a demand arises for an article, and if the supply should not be quite equal to the demand, it creates . a scarcity, consequently higher prices. English ideas and customs havr> 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 25 years, wages load only increased 15 per cent. for. the same period, so it is obvious tax.l t.i •■(i .... _j ii.. i. 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 cope with this menace unless amply protected to save our industries and wage earners from being brought .idown 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 retrace ivages to cope with Asiatic labour, augmented with modern machin-. ©ry. There 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, feut they have the option .becoming well and remaining here if they will follow my advice. I strongly advise my people, and the imaginary sufferers, to feast upon the well-known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc., viz:— Ample protection on things we can .i„„ __j „'-j a n/trrATDr PION ELOUK." and ''STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OAT§. : \ : .
