A WARNING. BREADWINNERS. . WE HAVE PLEASURE in again assuring you that we are in no way connected with any MILLING 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 TRUST at bay in the NORTH ISLAND, but our local papers remain silent on our good points. Though we have successfully combated the Trust, with your assistance, we 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 dfottgnt in* the South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all like cheapness, but it *■ 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 it asked to do so. . . r Sdfcne platform orators for cheap notoriety say, remove the' duties, no mafrer now seriously it interferes with their neighbours. If this was given affect to, the sweated, surplus of mysterious America (with its recent disclosures in adulteration), coloured India, where the weekly wage is about 2i, and greedy Australia, with its recent reciprocity tariff, would be damped in New Zealand, thereby ruining tho farming and mining community, with their numerous dependencies. _ [Australia had a seriottt drought in 1902^And its tariff was not altered for New Zealand's benefit. ■Thß' 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 wifl no longer exist. Thanking you for past favours, and KoJicifing a continuance, We remain, , Always at your service, P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co. rw 'CHAMPION" BR^ND.
