/~VPEN "MEMO. TO -y OUR . TiEADERS. INCONSISTENT. ME HOGG, Journalist, 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 gives no employment beyond a few shepherds with their dogs, and bis heart is nigh breaking about the temporary id advance on bread, and wants Flour duty free to crush the Southern and Waikato wheat growers. OUR MB POOLE is a sailor, and not a freeholder Under his uncle's leadership be sang "The Midshipm'ite " wilh great pathos, thus securing the seamen's vote, and a trip to Wellington. Mr Poole now says be refuses to let 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 gentlemans bread bill, say, Mr Poole's, for instance, would be about 3s 6d monthly, and the recent temporary advance means the extra enormous sum of 4Jd monthly— yet Mr Poole, lot 9 id, wants to crush the farming and milling 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 member*. Both are very capable men in their own particular sphere, so I deemed it my duty to give some fatherly up-to-date, commercial advice (as at foot,), accompanied with our " Standard " Soother, and it has been taken by both with remarkably good grace, by re maining silent. COPIES OF TELEGRAMS SENT : C. POOLB, M.H.R., Wellington— "So you believe in the Kauri Timber Combine because it suits your electorate, timber workers and seamen on timber crafts. Sou also favour protecting local industries. Is not 'OHAMeION" one free from Combines and Trusts? You want Flour made by Coolies in India, and the American •'Jungle " Brand 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, you 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. Hope you are not going to leave us by accepting the Commodoreship of the ' State bcows ' to carry coal from Wiiangarei, 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 1 Virtue.' " Kindly look up Mr Hogg's revised edition of ' Supply and Demand,' and see if jou cannot stop the world's wheat markets from advancing, or the Lancashire mills from shutting down for want of cotton." P. VIRTUE, Manager, Northern Roller Milling Company (Free from Trusts, Combines, etc.)
