OF WISDOM ; 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 have been introduced into the Orient, and are spreading rapidly; this,along with the "world's increasing populatioh, hat caused an extTa demand for all kinds of food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased 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 tEe 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. The Orient has, and is erecting, iiuge 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 o'ur industries and wage earners from being brought down 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 machinery. 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 iriy 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 :i- __j i.U- : :„„„„ „„ff^,ers, to feast upon the well-known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc, viz:— ' _ Ample protection on things we can produce, and good wages—"CHAMPION MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR" and "STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OAT 3.
