OPEN MEMO. TO YOUR READERS. INCONSISTENT.

MR. HOGG, Journalist, and Member for Masterton, was at one time in Oanteiibury, he was then an ardent Protectionist for the wheat-growers, knowing what they had to contend with. Now, he is in a sheep country, which practically gives no employment beyond 1 a few shepherds with their dogs, and has heait is nigh breaking about the temporary advance on bread, and 1 wants Flour duty free to crush the Southern and Waikato wheat growers. OUR, MR. POOLE is a sailor, and not a freeholder. Under his uncle's leadierehip he sang The Midsiupmit«= with great pathos, thus securing the .seamen's vote, and. a trip to Wellington. Mr. Poole now says he refuses to let anyone "try and take the bread out of his mouth." Why anyone should try an/d do this, if it was paid for, is beyond me. A single gentle man's bread 'bill, said Ma-. Poole, would be about 3s 6d monthly, and the recent temporary advance means the extna enormous sum of 4^d monthW — yet Mr. Poole, for 4£d, wantsto crush the farming and milling community with their numerous dependencies, and pose as a philanthropist at their cost. But I am told the acoustic properties of the House are very fascinating to young members. Both are very oapable men in their own pairtiieular sphere, so I dteemed it my duty to give some fatherly, up-to-date, commercial advice (as at foot), accompanied with our "Standard" Soother, and it has been taiken by both with remarkable good grace, by remaining silent. COPIES OF TELEGRAMS SENT: C. POOLE, M.H.R., Wellington— "So you believe in the Kauri Timber Combine because it suite your electorate, timber workers and seamen on timber craft. You also favour protecting local industries. Is not 'CHAMPION' one free from Combines and Trusts? You want Flour made by Coolies in India, and the American 'Jungle' brand admitted frele of duty, and carried in foreign ships, probably with coloured crews, to the dletriment of the whole colony, or Dominion. If Mr. Hogg and 1 youo-self want to give substantial effect to your philanthropy I can accommodate you in milling on a cash basis, you can then start a Bak cry, Hogg and Poole, Ltd., smaM goods at reduced prices, on p-wre philanthropic lines. The Waihi Working Men's Co-op, tried it, and came to grief. I found the flour, so am not taking any more at present. Hope you are not going to leave us by accepting the Commodore-ship of the State eteows to carry coal from Whangarei or within the limit. "Flouir is oheaper in Auckland than any other part of the colony, owing to the free and pure 'CHAMPION,' and this you know, only you are waflidletring from the paths of 'Virtu©.' "Kindly look up Mr. Hoe^s revised edlition of 'Supply and Demand,' and see if you cannot stop the world's wheat markets from adivanoine, or the Lanoafihire mills from shutting down for want of cotton." P. VTRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Company (Free from Trusts, Combines, etc.)
