BREADWINNERS >VfiT E HAVE PLEASURE in again » » assuring- you that we are in no way connected with any MILLING TRUST, ASSOCIATION. OR COMBINE ; Free in every respect. The Otago Times, 31st May, in a leading article, speaks in most eulo gistic terms of our independence, and having so successfully kept the TRUST at bay in the NORTH ISLAND, but our local papers remain silent on our good points. Though we have successfully combated the Trust, with your assistance, we have not yet been endowed with supernatural powers, to control the elements to prevent drought and shortages throughout the world, and minus of these powers, we are compelled to pay the market rate Tor wheat, which Las advanced through the results of & serious drought in the South, augmented with something similar occuring in Europe. We all like cheapness, but it is hardly fair, and not biblical to expect that one section of the community (i.c,, farmers, etc.), should shoulder the loss alone for the betterment of mankind, when no other trad* ec profession is asked to d so. Some platform orators for cneap notoriety say remove the duties, no matter how seriously it interferes with their neighbours. If this was given effect to, the sweated surplus of mysterious America (with its re cent disclosures in adulteration), coloured India, v.'here the weeKly wage is about 2s, and greedy Australia, with its recent reciprocity tariff, ' would be dumped in Now Zealand, thereby ruining the farming and milling community, with their numerous dependencies. Australia had a. seriou-o drought in 1902. and its taiiff was not; altered for New Zealand's benefit. The Government is now exhibiting the horrors of sweating, so let us be careful and reflect seriously before giving vent to idle and dreamy thoughts, otherwise God's .Ow Country will no longer exist. We have spoken Thanking you for past favour* and soliciting a continuance. We remain, Alway, at your service, P. V7.ATUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co. Of "CHAMPION 5 ' JSRAND A. W.
