"■"^"^™ ™ t WE HAVE PLEASUBE in again assuring you that we are in no way connectedT with any MELLING TRUST, ASSOCIATION or COMBINE — Free in every respect . The Otago Times, May 31, in a leading article, speaks in most eulogistic terms of our independence, and having so successfully kept the TBUST at bay m the NOBTH ISLAND, but our local papers remain silent on pur good points. Though we/ have aticcessfuHy combated the Trust; with y/ror assis^ ance, wo have not yet 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,which has advanced, through the results of a serious drought in the South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all like cheapness, but it :s: s hardly fair, and not biblical, to expect 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 with their neighbours. If this was given affect Uo, the sweated surplus of mysterious America (with its' recent disclosures in adulteration), coloured ludja, wjiere the weekly w,age is about 2s, and greedy Australia, with its 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 wilt no longer exist. Thanking you for past favours, and soliciting a continuance, We remain, Always at your service, P. VIRTUE, Manager,* Northern Boiler Milling Co. v ' ' B CHAMPION" BBAND.
