THE COUNTRY PARTY.
Sir,—ln your leading article on the Country Party you ask whether that party wants duties on butter, meat, eggs, etc., etc., removed. The Country Party is against protective duties without exception, but it recognises that while food for fowls is made dear by duties, com men sense demands that costs should bo attacked by removing first those duties which would cause least displacement of 1 about and capital. Last Dominion conference of the Farmers' Union unanimously requested (ho removal of duties on butter, cheese and meat. As "things which arc equal to the same, thing are equal to one another," either the claims made by each political party, that the Country Party's objects are identical with their own, arc false, or there is no need for more, than ono party. A. E. Robinson. Hon. Sec., Country Political League.
