Barton last night said ho was a protectionist and was not ashamed to say so. Protection must bo maintained on existing industries. They must have a revenue Tariff and moderate protection. He did not propose to destroy national industries, like the sugar industry. The Federal Tariff must not be a Sectional one. He would take care that one state did not “ rule the roost. ” Every one must have a fair share of the surplus
In regard to the New Hebrides ho said the Federal Government had already addressed the Imperial Government in reference to recent representations on the matter.
There were other external relations such as Now Guinea, Tonga, and Fiji to consider.
Ho gave an assurance that Government wou'd endeavor to conserve the interests of Australia without embarrassing the Empire.
Other speeches in support of the tariff, as outlined by Barton, and deprecation setting state against state.
