DEAR BREAD.
There seems to be a prospect of dear bread for a while. "When wheat is dear, farmers as a rule plant more, and the price falls. The only element of disturbance has been the past efforts of labor unions to unsettle the conditions of agricultural labor. -No doubt this agitation, although it proved to'be unsuccessful, deterred many farmers from planting wheat crops. Dear bread is just one of the penalties which consumers have to pay for that artificial industrial-peace which a Liberal. Government have endeavored to bring about, but which in practice amounts to turbulent unrest and disquietude. Our bread is taxed for the benefit of the Labor party, and the worker naturally has to pay the tax. —Wairaraoa “Times.”
