WORDS OF WISDOM jpO MY PEOPLE— When a demand arises for an article, and if the supply should not lie quite equal to the demand, it creates a scarcity, consequently higher jxrioes. English ideas and customs '&ave been introduced into tfhe Orient, ■with the world's increasing population. Ilia's 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 oouMriea, and raisaa prices. «reat Britain fe the only "free trade country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few weeks ago, a Commission was appointed to inquire into the reasons why the cost of living had increased. It has heen, officially stated, while the cost of living h'ad increased 50 per cent, during the last 25 years,, wages Ih'ad only inoeased 15 per cent, for the saime period, so it is obvious taxing the land will not reduce the cost of i living, .noT increase the workers' ■ ages, and the only remedy for Great Britain as Protection. The Orient has, and is erecting, ■huge industries equipped with modern eiachinery, worked, and to be worked ■with Asiatic labour. The question fcuggosts itself to my people — how can any English-speaking country cope with this menace unless _ amply protected to save our industries and -wago earners from being brought down to tiie Asiatic level. Tho.Single Tax theory fa absolutely one tax on the land an:l ivca trade. It ie apparent it would not les6.su the cost of production, but reduce wages tto copo with Asintic Labour, agumen't<wl with modern machinery. There is still hope, as I am credibly informed the gucness of the Smglo Tax policy will depend upon the worjd adopting it. This ought to ensure safety 1 for a ttimo. During my varied experience I sfoaind that quack recipes were harmful to those with imaginary ailments, .hut they have the option of .becoming well and rerruuniinp 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-. iAmjple protection on things we oan Produce, and good wages—"CHAMION MUSCLE-RAISER 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. UP-TO-DATE TAXI-CAR FOR HIRE AJNTJED KNOWN— That Mr I J.
