A?EN TI/lEMO. TO '.TrOtTR■READERS. "'"' TN CONSISTENT. MB HOGG, Journal'st, 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 contend with. Now he is in a sheep' country, which practically (rives 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 •frt-e 'o crush the fSoutluin and Waikito .wheat growers. OUR MR POOI.K is a sailor, and' not a freeholder Under hi« uncle's leader' hip he sang "The Midshipmite" with great pathos, thus securing the seamen's vote, and a trip to Wellington Mr Poole now says lie reiuses to It t anyone •' try and take the biead 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 instance, would be about 3s 6d monthly, and the re i ent temporary advance means the exira enormous sum of 4& I monthly— yet Mr Poole, for •£(!, wants 'o crush the [arming and milling community with their numerous dependencies, and posa as a philanthropist at their cost. But I am told ttie 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 some fatherly up-'o-date commercial advice (as at foot/,, accompanied with our "Standard" Soother, and it has been taken by boih with remarkably good grace, by re maining silent.. COPIES OF TELEGRAMS .SENT: C POOLK, M.H.R., Wellingtoj— "So you believe in the Kauri Timber Combine because it suits your electorate, timber workers and seamen on timber cra.ts. You also favour protecting local industries Is not 'OttAMflON'' one free from Combines and Trusts? You want Flour made by Coolies in India, and the American "Jungle" Hi and admitted free of duty, and carried in foreign ships- probably with coloured crews, to the detriment of the whole colony, or Dcminion. If Mr Hogg and yourself want to give substantial effect to your philanthropy I can accommodate you in milling on a cash basis, you cafl. thi n start a Bakery, Houg and Poole, Ltd , small goods at reduced prices, on pure philan thropic lines. The Waihi Working .yen's Co-op tried it, and came to grief. I found the flour, so am noD taking any more at present, bope you are not going to leave us by accepting the Commodoreship of the ' State scows ' to carry coal from Wuangarei, 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 Uemand,' and see if jou cannot stop the word's wheat mirketa from advancing, or the Lancashire mills from shutting down for want of cotton." P. VIKTUE, Manager, Ki.rthern Holler Milling Company (b'ree trom Trusts, Combines, eic.)
