BREADWINNERS. , J l - ■ WE HAVE PLEASURE in again assuring you that we are in no way connected *Ith r any MILLING TRUST, ASSOCIATION or COMBINE — Free in every respect . The Otago Times, May 31, in * leading article, speaks in most eulogistic terms of our independence, and having so successfully kept the TRUST at bay in the NORTH ISLAND, but ant local papers remain silent on our good points. Though we Brave successfully combated the Trust, with your assistance, wo have not yet been endowed with supernatural powers to control the elements to prevent, drought and shortages throughout t^e world, and minus Of these powers we are compelled to pay the market rate for wheat,which has advanced, through the result* of a serious drought in the South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all Tike cheapness, but it ;s; s hardly fair, and not biblical, to ex>ect that one section of the community {i.e.; 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 for cheap notoriety say, remove the duties, no matter now seriously it interferes with their neighbours. If this was given affect €0, the sweated surplus of mysterious America (with its recent 'disclosures in adulteration), coloured India, where the weekly wage is about 2s, and greedy Australia^ with4ts recent reciprocity tariff, would be dumped in New Zealand, thereby ruining 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 win no longer exist. Thanking you for past favours, and soliciting a continuance, We remain, Always at your service, P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co. ■ CHAMPION" BRAND.
