Sik, — The sucee-s tli.it .ittended Mr Graham's lectuie at Te Awamutu on Monday night will, I hope, induce him to repeat it at the various centre^ m the Waikato district, for I feel convinced that aftei hearing the aims and objects of Co-operation so lucidly (>\pl.unud and set before them, that it would be the means of inducing a gre.it many to become .shareholders m so promising an undertaking. Wo see oui leading politicians on the war-path lectur ing for the supposed benefit of the people at l.uge ; the welcome and encouragement Mi Vaile h.ii met dm ing his lectuung totn in all paits of the colony ;and I feel -*vie that it the directors and shareholders of the association could only iuduce Mr Graham to explain the intuie and views of the association in bo satisfactoiy a mannui as he did on Monday night, that it wou'd undoubtedly go a very great way in furthering the objects they have in view. In fact the Hiibject wants agitating. We all know the old saying, "Dirty water the moie you Htirit," &c.,sothemoiethe inordinate profits of the middle man are exposed and shown up, the more will people bo convinced that it is high tune such things should have an end, and to an end they may be brought by Micces-ful co-opeiation, and by that alone Lot eveiy shaichnklei who ha.s a small number of shaie- double them, and those who have none ha->ton to take some, and then by the united etfoit of all let us sound the death knell of the Monopolist, and bring the producer and the cmiMimei face to face foi their gieat and mutual benelit. — I am, &c , W.
