WOBDS OF WISDOM mQ iPi fbdpe® » demand arises for an article and H the supply should not fee Btdfcf' Kjual to the demand, it create) f -a-oiiy, consequently higher Eloefc. "Ssrfliah ideas audi oußtoms 7« botn introduced into the Orient, f/nA are spreading rapidly; this, along sitlft the world'b increasing population, Juti caused an extra demand lor all kinds of food, etc., and aB tka producing area has not increased fcorretpondingly, it at onoe reflects on the producing countries, and raises grioes. Great Britain is the only free? trade country of any importance in the -world. In Great Britain, only al few days ago, a f Commission was ap-j pointed to inquire into the reasons why the cost of living had mweased. It has been officially stated, while toe oost of living had. increased 50 per eent. during the laßt 25 years, wages bad only increased 15 per cent, for the Banie period, so it is obvious tax-' ing the land will not reduce the cost of living, nor inorease the workers wages, and the only remedy for Great Britain is Proteotion. 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 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 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 hereof 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 »roduce, and good wages—"CHAMPION MUSOLE-UAISER FLOUR" and "STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OATS. I Remain, Always at your service, CHAMPION. P.S.— Follow Canada's example, and reject Single Tax and Free Trade.—-O. UP-TO-DATE TAXI-CAR FOR HIRE WANTED KNOWN— That Mr J.
