EDWIH GALLICHAN, PROPRIETOR AND MANOPACTUREP Ashutst, N.Z. Canterbury Representative, MB G. P. HOATTEN, Ashburton, THE MISTAKE OP A M.HjC MR TANNER, M.H.R., spoke eio- quently m Parliament recently on Pomahaka oats, school book*., and the price of Tea. On the last-named subject he said : «« // was all very well for Ministers and honorable numbers to claim before the general pu lie the credit of having reduce J the duty on tea 2d per lb He questiotted w/tether any family was sd bitter off m consequence of what they did last year." While admitting that Mr Tanner may be - an authority on oats and school primers, his sweeping assertion regarding Tea is contrary*' to fact. It is admitted that m the matter of blended teas it was m some cases alleged that no alterations would be made m price, bat the difference would be given m quality. That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter c thoroughly, he would have found that SURA- T ORA TEA was immediately lowered m price to the public by the amount ol the duty, and the quality of it being so firmly established, no doubt entered anyone's mind but that) the reduction m price was a genuine one; and that the quality remains the same. .Suratura Tea is guaranteed NOT blended with Indian or China Tea.
