WE HAVE PLEASURE in again assuring you that we are in .no way connected with any MILLING TKCST, 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 drought in the South, augmented with something similar occurring in Europe. We all Tike cheapness, but it ; a 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 natter 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 tho weekly wage is about 2s, and greedy Australia, with its reoent reciprocity tariff, would be dumped in New Zealand, thereby ruin- 1 »ng the farming and milling communnj, 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 bo careful and reflect seriously before giving vent to idle and dreamy thoughts, otherwise God's Own Country wifi no longe. exist. Thanking you for past favours, and soliciting a continuance, We remain, Alwaya at your service, P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co r> JHAMPION" BRAND.
