BY ORDER. A * CHAMPION " NUT TO CRACK. The Hon. S. T. George, chairman of Bycrofi's Biscuit Factory is adv.. eating the withdrawal of tne duties on Wheat, Potatoes, and flour, on the lines of philanthropy, to cheapen the cost of his biscuits when they are already protected by a Customs' duty of 2d | er lb, equal to . £18 13s 4d per ton in several instances the duty is nparly the selling price of some of tne cheaper biscuits. The price of biscuits was advanced id per lb equal to £4 13a id per ton, to cover an advance of 30s per tonin flour, and as flour has fallen, I notice biscuits have not. It is time our hon. fiiend thought before 'speaking, or took a little of his own medicine well shaken. The duty on flour is 20s per ton, wheat 9d per 1001 b, potatoes 20 per cent Compare these withrthe duty on biscuits, viz : £18 13$ 4d per ton and consider. I Remain, Always at your service, P.
