WOBDS OP WISDOM nno MY PEOPLE Wion a demand arises for an , -article, and if the supply should not l» quite equal to the demand, it create a scarcity, consequently higher pvioea. English ideas and customs ifeave been ir-iroduced into the Orient, an/1 *.ro spreading rapicKy; this, along with the world's increasing population. caused an extra demand for all kinds of food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it at onoe reflects on the prcduciaa oountriea, and raises prices. fittMit Britain is t£e only free trade country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few weeks ago, a Commission was appointed 1 to inquire into the reasons why the cost of living had increased. It ha-3 been officially stated, while the cost of living had increased 50 per cent, during the last 25 years, wages toad only in ceased 15 per cent, for fcho same period, so it is obvious taxing .the land will not reduce the cost of living, nor increase the workers' ' agjss, and the only remedy for Great Britain ia Protection. The Orient has, and is erecting, huge industries equipped with modern worked, and to be worked with Asiatic labour. The question fluggesta itself to my people— liow cr.n 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 lesesn th« cost of production, but reduce wages fto cope with-Asiatic Labour, aiumen'ted with modern machinery. There is still hope, as I nm credibly informed the success of the Single Tax policy will depend upon the world adopting it. This ought to ensure safety for a itime. 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 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*' — lamjple (protection on things we can prodoice, and good wiages—"CHAMPION - MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR" aod "STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OATS.
