Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ...by forced efforts to anticipate them. Such will be the view of all able to see the true bearings of national policy, much more is it the conviction of those who can see what is really the interest of manufacturing industry itself. Protection is an experiment _ for which the public have to pay dear, but those who embark their capital in the speculation may lose most in the end. A recent agitation in Victoria affords a pointed illustration. A proposal made for the reduction of some protective duties from 20 to 15 per cent. excited quite a panic amongst the local manufacturers. They declared this concession would ruin them, and throw their workmen out of employment. These piteous appeals must have been either genuine or simulated. If the former, they shew how soon men of spirit who learn to lean on supports of the State can descend to the importunity of mendicancy; if the latter, how soon they acquire its hypocrisy. In New South Wales, where manufacturers have always had to fight their own battles, the repeal in 1873 of 5 per cent. ad valorem duties, imposed in 1865 for revenue purposes, did not suggest a single remonstrance from them. Not habituated to dependence, their spirit was as sound as their industries. In visiting lately some of the most extensive workshops in Sydney we were pleased to meet with men who, against the competition of the whole world, had worked their way up to the control of establishments employing hundreds of hands, and who concurred in the declaration " PVe want no protection./" Such men are_an honour to their country. They are proofs of the vigour which freedom always develops in the Anglo-Saxon, and enable us to look forward with a lighter heart to the future of this Colony, blessed as it is with all...

Book Description
Excerpt from An Essay on New South Wales: The Mother Colony of the Australias The Australasian Colonies have taken advantage of the Genten nial Exposition of the United States to make themselves better known abroad; and it is the belief of the Author of the following Essay that New South Wales, as the Mother Colony of the group, and the possessor of remarkable resources, which are combining to make her more progressive than at any previous period, deserves an effort to offer to the world a view of her advantages, condition, and prospects, more comprehensive than has yet been presented. The Exposition to which we have referred is one of the signs of the times. For the first time a great commonwealth, in seeking to commemorate the achievements of her arms, has risen above local feelings and bitter memories, inviting all nations to a congress of the arts of peace; and her former Opponent has been foremost in promoting the success of the undertaking. The cordial way in which Great Britain has united with America in a jubilee over the events of 1776 is, let us hope, the initial of a new and bright page of history. It is especially pleasing to Australians, whose loyalty to the one admits of fraternal regard for the other. The harmony which has prevailed in the city of brotherly love between the assembled representatives of all communities speaking the English language encourages the idea of an alliance that would con solidate the power of the anglo-saxon race, and at the same time diffuse more freely amongst mankind the benefits of its vigorous civilisation.
