WORDS OP WISDOM. rpo MY PEOPLE,- _ When a demand arises for on article and if the supply should not be quite ■equal to the demand.' it creates a. scarcity. consequently higher prices. English ideas and customs have been introduced Into the Orient, and are spreading rapidly; this, along with the world s inereaalnp’ population, has caused an extra demand for all kinds of food. etc., and as the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it at once reflects on the producing countries, and raises Britain la the only free trade country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few days ago. a Commission was appointed to inquire Into the reasons why the cost of Hying had increased. It has been officially stated, while the cost of living had mcieased 50 per cent, during the last twenty-flvo years, wages had only tn--reased 15 per cent, for the same period, STitis obviouo taxing the land will not reduce the coo, of living, nor increase ‘he workers’ wages, and the only remedy £or Great Britain is Protection. The Orient has, and is erecting, huge industries equipped with modern machm»rv. and to he worked with Asiatic iatvmr The question suggests itself to mv people—how can any English-speaking country copo with this menace unless imply protected to save our industries and wage-earners from botug brought down to tho Asiatic level. . The Single Tax theory is absolutely „„ on the land and free trade. It is apparent it would not lessen the cost of production, but reduce wages to cope with Asiatic labour, augmented with modern machinery.. There is still hope. m I am credibly informed the success ?< A 0 Single Tax policy will depend upon the world adopting it: this ought to ensure safety for a time. I strongly advise my people and the imaginary sufferers, to feast upon the well-known recipes, prosperity and longevitVj etc viz.
