THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
An Economic Fact.
All the manufacturers of the Australian Commonwealth, and all the Government servants, live upon the miner and the man on the land. With increasing tariffs and greater Government expenditure more and more of the wealth they produce from the soil is taken from the men engaged in primary industrie", leaving them less for themselves. So production is checked, immigration is discouraged and in spite of frantic efforts to check imports by a higher tariff, imports grow greater, and the exports, which ought to pay for them, grow less.
