WOKDS OF WISDOM 10 MY PEOPLBWhen. a demand arises for an aiilfti©, and if the supply should not be quite equal to the demand, it creAt&B a scarcity, consequently high^ !>'. T»™ n « nm.3 Miasma v© been introduced into the Orient, and are' spreading rapidly; this, along with the world's increasing population, lias 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 prcduoujg countries, and raises prices. "tSreat Britain'ss the only free Lade 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, lb has been officially stated, while the ■oast of living had increased 50 per cent, during the last 25 years, wages !had only inoeased 15 per. cent, for the same period, so-it is ' obvious taxing the land will not reduce th* cost of living, nor increase the, workers' • ages, 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 worked 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 ifrom being brought ] down to the Asiatic level. The Single Tax theory is absolutely one tax on the land ana free trade. It ie apparent it would not lescsn the cost of production, but reduce wages ■ fto cope with Asiatic Labour, agumen'fced /with modern machinery. There is still hope, as I am credibly informed the fauccess of the Single Tax policy wilil depend upon the world adopting •it. This ought to ensure safety for a (time. _ _ During my varied experience J found that quack recipes were harmful to tho.se wit-H imaginary ailments, but they have the option of bceoming well and remainrinp. here if they will , follow my advice. I strongly advise any people, and the imaginary sufferers, to feast upon the well known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc., viz»— Am/ple protection on tilings we can produce, and good wages—"CHAMPION MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR" and "STANDARD" OATMEAL and BOLLED OATS.
