WORDS OF WISDOM.

TO MY PEOKLIL

When a demand arises for aw trcle, and if the supply should not is uite equal to the demand, it creates scarcity, consequently higher prices. English ideas and customs have been introduced into the Orient, and ate spreading rapidly j this, along with the world's increasing population, has cauaeu an extra demand for all kinds of food, etc., and as the producing area has not increased correspondingly, it at once reflects on the producing countries, and raises prices.

Great Britain is the only free trade country of any importance in the world. In Great Britain, only a few days ago, a Commission was appointed to inquire into the reasons why the cost of tiring Lad increased. It has been officially stated, while the cost of living increased 50 per oenfc during the last 25 years, wages had only increased 15 per cent for the same period, so it is obvious taxing the land will not reduce the cost of living, nor increase the wonkers' ages, and the only remedy for Great Britain! is Protection.

The Orient has, and is erecting, huge industries equipped with modern machinery worker, and to with Asiatic labour. The question suggests itself to rxxy people—how can any English-speaking country cope with this menace unless amply protected to save our industries and wage-earners from being brought down to the Aciatio level.

The Single Tax theory is absolutely one tax on the land and free trade. It is apparent it would not lessen the cost of production), but reduce wages to cope with Asiatic labour, augmented with modern machinery. There is still hope, as I am credibly informed the success of the Single Tax policy will depend upon the world adopting it; this ought to enimre safety for a time. During my varied experience I found that quack recipes were harmful to those with imaginary ailments, but they have the option of becoming well and remaining here if they will follow my advice. I strongly advise my people, and the imaginary sufferers, to feast upon the well known recipes, prosperity, and longevity, etc., T!JS.:- — Ample protection on things we can produce, and good wages—"CHAMPION MiITSCLEvRAISER FLOUR and "STANDARD" OATMEAL and ROLLED OATS. I remain, Always at your service, CHAMPION. P.S.—Follow Canada's example, and reject the Single Tax and Free Trade.
