By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
Sydney, Jan. 14. Sir William McMillan, replying to Mr Barton’s Maitland speech, scathingly denounced tho Federal Ministry and their policy. Ho accused Mr Barton of flagrantly violating pledges. Tho tariff was not intended for tho good of the country, but to catch votes. He declared that the New South Wales members of tho Cabinet wero not representative, being dominated by the Victorians. ” IcMfllan compared Mr Barton’s g action in regard to the sendbe Federal Contingent with New 's ready response. The Commonshould have offered five thousand. 1 of acting nobly, tho Government jd our nowly-born flag in tho dust, claimed that the Pacific Islands ought to be under Federal control, but such control was no good if they had no trade with the islands. Now was the time to stretch a friendly hand to these people. Instead of that, an attempt was made through tho tariff to practically wipe out trade.
