Wheat per cental, 9d Oats - - per cental, 9d IF THESE DUTIES ARE REMOVED, HOW WOULD TTIE NEW ZEALAND FARMER FARE ? N.B.—Mr Hogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts do not suggest the removal of the duties on the raw materials (wheat, oats, etc.) It is obvious they are “running with [the hare and hunting with the hounds,” their object being to kill the grain-growing and milling industries, with their numerous adjuncts, such as Southern rail wavs, etc., and, naturally, the shrinkage would have to to uet by inerjising tbo Northern railages,

Their theory is one tax on the land only and free trade. When this was given birth to, the Asiatic problem was unhatched. What encouragement would there be to go on the luijd unless the products of the soil are protected, on the same lines as our rivals?, HoW would our town industries thrive under such stupidity ? Gould they compete against sweated surplusages of the world, unless Aiuply protected ? And even now it s with a struggle they exist. It is obvious the Single Tax theory is only one tax on the land, and if given effect to would abolish the Alien Pol] Tax, and bring us down to the Asiatic level. Tours truly, CHAMPION’S COMMON-SENSE
