TASMANIA'S OPPORTUNITY.
It will b ean altogether unexpected result of Federation (says the Pastoralists Review) Tasmania becomes the manufacturing centre of the Commonwealth. But one of the most successful and generally esteemed shrewdest manufactures in New Zealand has recently placed that possibility before us in quite a new light. Expecting to be shut out of the New South Wales by the Federal tariff, he came over to Australia to see about establishing a branch factory of the class of goods of which he had special experience. Melbourne first suggested itself as the best centre, but when he came to look in the restrictions on the employment of labour, and the trend of political feeling towards employers here, he turned his attention to Sydney, only to find that there was every probability of the conditions there being shortly assimilated to those in Melbourne. But in Tasmania he thinks that a different spirit
:. n'mates the population, and that they -will catch at the chance of becoming a manufacturing centre by avoiding harassing the employer.,; Water carriage is cheap, and if thisshould be so, we • y live to see Tasmania a centre of erprise, and a -e-ity of. refuge for . vo'talists.
