SIR JOSEPH ALWAYS APPRECIATE? ANYTHING U GOOD. OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS. 29th JUNE, 19b. SIR JOSEPH WARD, "Wellington. "Welcome home. Is Auckland included in the Dominion of New Zealand? If so. kindly have new Post Office erected railway station site, as the bulk of the mails are for ns, owing to the esteem in which we are held by the ' INTELLIGENT' Public. We notice we do not appear on the K.B. 8 ' •.'-■•. (Signed) P VIRTUE, j Milling Company. j PETER VIRTUE, ESQ., "Auckland. " Heartily thank you for your kind welcome home, which I appreciate." (Signed)' J. G. WARD. j SIR JOSEPH "WARD. Wellington. "We are more than pleased you are home, as the YOUNGSTERS are a trifle erratic; some are actual! y blaming the farmer for the New Zealand drought, and that he should have gone in for irrigation and prevented it (without stating where he was to get the liquid from), to keep down I their home expenses. The German and American shortages of 15J: MILLION QUARTERS OP WHEAT, the few wise ones say (of course, they are not business men), should! not affect our market, because none has been shipped Home, when your Returns show a trifling surplus over actual requirements.' " Did you come Across any business acumen like this in your travels? Or do the f ew wise ones of the Dominion of New Zealand hold the patent rights for ' INTELLIGENCE.' "We are. still protecting our BREADWINNERS from the Flour Trust down as far as Nelson. If you have time, kindly inquire from-the trade about the many Virtues of ' CHAMPION.' ".:... With apologies, (Signed) P. VIRTUE, Milling Company. BREADWINNERS. The Customs Duty ON Biscuits is «1Q ~iOB AT) per ton; on FLOUR the very modest sum of 9>AS PER TON. The growing of wheat and manufacturing of flour, with its numerous dependencies, gives an enormous amount of employment compared to the baking ot water crackers, etc. We leave the rest to your " intelligence," which will be in perfect order, if you keep the duty on flour and reduce it on biscuits. This suggestion clearly proves there is no ill-feeling. P. VIRTUE, Mgr. Champion Mills.
