WORDS OF WISDOM 7110 *** EEDPIdB*» '_ When a demand -arises roran ■astiole, and if the supply should not bo quite equal to the demand, it ore-.a-i®s a scarcity, consequently higher Erioea. ideas and customs ovo heen ir#roduced into the Orient, and are' spreading rapicHy; this, along mtih the world's increasing population. Itao caused an extra demand for all kinds of food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased corresponding countries, and raises prices. «reat Britain is 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 wJhy the cost of living had increased. It has heen officially atated, while the cost of living had increased 50 per cenit. during the last 25 years, wages Irad only iuoeased 15 per cent. fo<r the same period, so it is obvious taxing the land will not reduce the cost of Jiving, nor increase the workers' 'ages, and the only remedy for Great Britain, is Protection. The Orient has, and is erecting, hug© industries equipped with modern machinery, worked, and to be worked with Asiatic labour. The question suggests iteelf 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 « apparent it would not les&sn th» coat of production, but reduce wages [to cope with Asiatic Labour, acumenled 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 harmlul to those with imaginary ailments, Ibut they have the option of bceominc well and remain/inf here if they will follow my advice. I strongly advise my people, and the imaginary suffer<©r«, to feast upon the well known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc., lamiple protection on things we can produce, and good wages—"CHAMPION MUSCLE-RAISER FLOUR" and "STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OATS.
