Welsh flannel at 2s 6d to 8s 6d a yard, arid it was flannel. It would wear for jears, bat now I cannot find anything like it." I quite agree with him, for the shoddy colonial article that he mentions isjfrt a aorry^ substitute for the. former,^wKch protection " prevents as getting ;^np* such being the case, protection has deprived as of what we want and compelled ns to ml make-shift with a very bad artiole in bar place— and what for? So that a few manufacturers may make money at the expense of the community. He says also that we have protected- or cheapened flannels from 8d to lOd per yard, which people, will believe whenthey can get the same quality for which they used to pay 8s at" the latter price. -Protection- r fco-,b« effective, from " Working Man's" point of view, must be prohibitive, and where/then^ would be the Customs revenue? and yW this blind leader of the blind has the - effrontery to assert that protection .will enable the colony to borrow more millionth and pay the interest through the Customs* > Sorely I may be forgiven it I quote hi§. ? own words and .say, "I don't think: bt: knows what he is talking about."— l, ami ! &0., ', Fbmm Tiioi. ; ;
HONEY AS A PRESERVATIVE FOR BUTTER.
To the Editor of the Star.

I have on Wednesday put by lib made with honey, and lib Dot ; ; and will send you the results later on. For my own taste, the honey spoils the flavor. I would just say that, after seven years' experience, if buttsr-makers would not wash their batter with water at all, there would os. do complaint about bad butter or ffa/rioi keeping.— -Yours, etc.. • "*.''/ Good Busier. Ngaire, Jane 28.
