Iho people mav bo taken down once, or even twice, 'but it cannot bo deceived all the time. It is over twenty-seven years ago since COALBROOKDALE COAL made its first appearance. Waring those twenty-seven years many coals have corr.o into the market, bnt how many have proved a real success? Threequarters of a million tons of Coalbrookdale aro now sold every year. This immense success could have only been achieved in one way, and that is tho solid satisfaction this coal has given. If rnu have not used it, give tho article, a trial, satisfaction is bound to follow. Wo stock all coals on tho market, also WOOD and COEE. THE WESTPORT COAL CO., LTD. Kina St..

FARMER FARE? N.B.—Mr. Hogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts do not suggest the removal of tho duties on tho raw materials (wheat, oafs, etc.). It ie obviops they aro "running with tho hare and hunting with the hounds,’’ their object being to kill the. grain-growing and milling industries with their numerous adjuncts, such as Southern railways, etc., and, naturally, the shrinkage would have to bo met by increasing .the Northern railages, etc. Their theory is one tax on tho land' only and free trade. When this was given birth to. the Asiatic problem wns unhatchod.’ What encouragement would there bo to go on the land unless tho products of tho. soil arc protected, on the same, lines; as our rivals? How would our town industries thrive under such - , stupidity,? Could they compete against the sweated surplusages of the world, unices amply protected? And even nowTt is w ith a struggle they exist. It is obvious the Single Tax theory is only one tax on tho land, and if given effect to would abolish the Alien Poll Tax. and bring us down to tho Asiatic level. —Tours truly, CHAMPION'S COMMON-SENSE.
