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 ft toading article, speaks in most eulogistic terms of our independence, and so successfullykept 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 $0 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 tho South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all Tike cheapness, but it :s: s hardly fair, and not biblical, to exject 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, remoye the duties, no natter how 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 tho weekly wage is about 2s, and greedy Australia, with its recent reciprocity tariff, would be dumped in New Zealand, thereby ruining the farming and milling commun««;y, with their numerous dependencies. Australia had a serious drought in *902, and its tariff was n6t 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 longe. exist. Thanking you for past favours, and flaunting a continuance, ( We remain, Always at your service, P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co. Cf CHAMPION" BRAND.
