f^PEN 11/| EaiO. TO ; YOUE TNCO.NSISTENT. MB HOGG, Journal's!, and Member for Masterton, was at one time in Canterbury ; he was then an ardent Protectionist for the wheat-growers, knowing ' what they had to c ntend with. Now he is in a sheep country, which practically gives no employment beyond a few shepherds with their dogs, and his heart is nigh breaking about the temporary Jd advance on bread, and wants Flour duty free to brush the South, in and Waikato wheat growers. OUR MB POOLK is a sailor, and not a freeholder TJnder his uncle's leadership he sang "The Midshipmite" with great pathos, thus securing the seamen's vote, and a trip to Wellington MrPoolenow says be refuses to lrt anyone " try and take the bread out of his mouth " Why anyone should try and do this, if it was paid for, is beyond me. A single gentleman's bread bill, say. Mr Poole's, for in9tancv, would be about 3s 6d monthly, and the re- ent temporary advance means the extra enormous sum of 4£U monthly— yet Mr Poole, for id, wants <o crush the farming and miilin'g community with their numerous dependencies', and pose as a philanthropist at their cost. But I am told the acoustic properties of the House are very fascinating to young members. ■ Both are very capable men in their own particular sphere, so I deemed it my duty to give S.me fatherly up- o-date commercial advice (as at foot), accompanied with our " Standard" Soother, and it ha* been taken by both with remaikably good grace, by re maining silent-. COPIES OF TELEGRAMS 3ENT : C POOLIi, M.H.R., Wellington— "So you believe in the Kauri Timber Combine because it suits your electorate, timber workers and se*ineu on timber craits. You also favour protecting local industries. Is not 'CHAMfION" one free from Combines and Trusts? You want Flour made by Coolies in India, and the American "'Jungle " Kiand admitted free of duty, and carried in foreign ships* probably with coloured crews, to the detriment of the whole colony, or Dominion. If Mr Hogg , and yourself want to give substantial effect to your philanthropy I can accommodate you in milling on a cash basis, can th< n start a Bakery, Hogg and Poole, Ltd., small goods at reduced prices, on pure philanthropic lines. The Waihi Working Men's Co-op tried it, and came to grief. 'I found the flour, so am not taking any more at present. «ope you are not going to leave us by accepcing the Commodoreship of the ' State scows ' to carry coal from Wbangarei, or within the limit " Flour is cheaper in Auckland than any other part of the colony, owing to the free and pure "CHAMPION." and this you know, only you are wandering from the paths of ' Virtue.' " Kindly look up Mr Hogg's revised edition of ' Supply and Demand,' and see if you cannot stop the world's wheat markets from advancing, or the Lancashire mills from shutting down for want of cotton."

VIRTUE, Manager, '-IM: Northern Boiler Milling Company (Free from Trusts, Combines, etc.) HHRANSFER FORMS and Every DeJL Bcription of Commercial Printing executed in the best style' at a few hours' notice at the OBSEBVEB Office.
