OPENING OP PARLIAMENT. 1 A NOTABLE OMISSION FROM THE GOVERNORS SPEECH. EVERT true colonist must have felt a glow - of pride when reading m the Governor's Speech that the earning power of the people had been inoreased, but the Speech omitted to give the reason why there had been a saving last year of over £20,000 m the 00Bt cf tea ooneumed m New Zaaland. The ressons are obvious to every housewife who coneiders her tea expenditnre — Ist— lt U because Saratura Tea has oome into each general use m consequence of its strength, flwonr, economy, and purity. 2od—That it goes so :muoh further than ordinary brands. These characteristics are bo generally acknowledged that it is remarkable that m the Governor's Speech there was no indioa* tion of a Bill to authorise the purohasa by the State of the whole grcwthof Snratura Tea, with the or jeot of supplying the inhabi* tants of New Zealand, and thereby decreasing the burden upon the ceoesearieß of life. ■ The obaraoteriatios tf SURATURA TEA are Tunny, Fbaobasck, Strength, Economy, and it is NOT blended with Indian or China Teas. 6 93 MB OSBOKNE COMBE, (Late of Rudd & Co., London) PIANO lUNEU AND EXPERT* "TTISirS Ashburton, and will attend .
