MR TANNER, M.H.R., spoke elo- quently m Parliament recently on Pomahaka oats, school books, and the price of Tea. On the last-named subject he said : — ti ltwas all very well for Ministers and Jwnorable members to claim before the general public the credit of having reduced the duty on tea 2d' per Ib, He questioned whether any family was 2d better 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, but the difference would be given m quality. That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter thoroughly, he would have found that SURA- TURATEA was immediately lowered m price to the public by the amount oi the duty, and the quality of it being ao firmly established, ho doubt entered anyone's mind but that the reduction m price was a genuine one, and that the quality remains the same.
