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, spoaks in .most eulogistio terms of our independence, and having ■o successfully kept the TRUST at bay in the NORTH ISLAND, bat 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 like cheapness, but it ta hardly fair, and not biblical, to expect that one section of the community /i.e., farmers, etc.), should Bhoulder the logs 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 how seriously it interferes with their neighbours. If this was given effect to, the sweated surplus of mysterious America (with its recent disclosures in adulteration), coloured |L-dia, where the weekly wage is about 2s, j^nd greedy Australia, with its recent, reciprocity, *ta,riff r v would' be damped in New Zealand, thereby raintngjthe 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 wifl no longe. exist. Thanking yoa for past favours, ,and Ron citing a continuance, We remain, Always at your service. m P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co. n» JHAMPION" BRAND.
