WE HAVE PLEASURE in again assuring you that we are in no way connected i«ith any MEL^DJG TRUST, ASSOCIATION or COMBINE — Free in every respect . The Otagb Times, May 31, in a leading article, spoaks in most eulogistic terms of our independence, and having so successfully kept the TRUST at bay in the NORTH ISLAND, hut our local papers remain silent an oar good points. Though we. have successfully combated the Trust, with your assistance, wo have not yefr been endowed with supernatural powers to control the elements to prevent drought and shortages throughout the world, and minus of these powers we are compelled to pay the market rate for wheat,whioh has advanced, through the results of a serious drought in the South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all Tike cheapness, but it "g hardly fair, and not' biblical, to expect that one section of the community ji.o., farmers, etc.), should shoulder the loss alone for the betterment ,of mankind, when no other trade or "profession is asked to do so. Some platform orators fortr t cheap notoriety say, remove the duties, no matter now seriously it interferes with their neighbours. If this was given effect to, the sweated surplus of mysterious America (with its recent disclosures in adulteration)", coloured India, where the weekly wage is about 2s, and greedy Australia, with its recent reciprocity tariff, would be dumped in New Zealand, thereby mining the farming and milling community, with their numerous dependencies. Australia had a serious drought in 1902, and its tariff was not altered for New Zealand's benefit. .The Government is now exhibiting the horrors of sweating, so let us be careful and reflect seriously before giving vent to idle and dreamy thoughts, otherwise God's Own Country will no longer exist. -■ Thanking yon for past favours, and sotfcitltiga continuance, We remain, Always atyour service, P.
