Primary industry in Now Zealand has to seek in the outside world a market for a very substantial part of its produce. The larger the proportion taken by the home market —consumers within the Dominion—the sounder the condition of primary industry will become. But it is not on that account desiralJo I hat the development of secondary industry should be lorceii rapidly by artificial means. .1 he erection of high tariff walls for the protection of secondary industry is a dangerous expedient. The farming community will not profit through selling more of its produce locally it it has to pay excessive prices for the liianur.icttired goods that it must have; indeed, at the present time fhe laiining community complains that the cost of any of its requirements is far too high. Primary industry must continue to he the hackhone of the Dominion. The development of manufacturing industry should lit- ;i gradual process.—“Wanganui Chronicle.”
