KILLING INDUSTRIES.
Sir,—A few. weeks ago potatoes wore selling as high as <£40 per ton in Western Australia, and the high Australian tariTi was not removed or even lowered. Owing to this high tariff our farmers and milIcts are absolutely blocked from shipping to Australia., and yet Mr. Hogg wants to abolish New Zealand's small protective duties and kill some ruoro of our industries. If he is successful, _ them the workers (dependent on thtso industries) with their wives and families will 1)0 forced to leave the Dominion. They could, of course, come to the differt'nt centres, and swell the ranks of the unemployed.—l am, etc., PROTECTIONIST. Wellington', August 21.
