When this was given birth to. the Viatic problem was unharmed* What encouragement would there bo to go on the land unless the products of the soil are protected on the same lines aa.our rivals? How would our town 'industries thrive under such stupidity Could they I compete against the sweated surplus wages of the world, unless amply protected. And even now it is w itb a struggle they exist. It is obvious the riiugle Tax theory w only one tax on the land, aud if giveo effect to would abolish the Alien PoU Tax and bring us down to the Asiatic level. Yours truly fCHAMPIQITS COMIOIf-SEHES
