Tbe Pall Mall Grzette says that sacb a budget as tbat wbioh bas just been put forward by the Treasury of New South Wales, was probably never before exhibited as the account of tbe revenue and expenditure of an equnl number of people. The total population of New South Wales at the present time scarcely exceeds 600,000, or a little more than tbe population of Manchester and Salfordj but the revenue for 1876 amounted to £5,000,000, and there is a surplus in hand of nearly £1,700,000. The entire debt of the colony does not exceed £11,000,000, which has been almost wholly incurred for the construction of railways aud other public works, and the interest upon it is, co far aa can be ascertained, under £600,000. It is not very long siace New South Wales was regarded as the" Sleepy Hollow" of Australasia. There was wealth, comfort, and contentment, but the people showed no inclination to move too fast or to develop the vast resources of agricultural, mineral, or pastoral wealth around them more rapidly than was consistent witb the perfect enjoyment of one of tha moat delightful climates in the world. Protection was in full favor, assisted immigration was tabooed, and even the construction of roads and railways wa3 carried on at a leisurely pace. Now, however, free trade has been introduced, and within tbe last two or three years a great change has come over the community. The colonists have become alive to the fact that, with the enormous opportunities open to them, New South Wales ought very shortly to. take the lead in Australia. Viotoria, which still adheres to her protectionism, is being fairly eclipsed in the race for prosperity; acd the working men of Melbourne, who refused, a few weeks ago, even to listen to Mr Henry Taylor, the delegate of the English workmen, on tbe subject of free trade, may soon regret their shortsighted policy. But for the present, as between these two colonies, New South Wales has it all her own way, and with a reveuue of £5,000,000, an enormous proportionate surplus, and light taxation, she can afford to laugh at the struggles of her far more populous rival over the border.
