AUSTRALIA’S FUTURE.
— London, July 23. Sir John Cockburn, formerly Premier of South Australia, presided at a gathering of the Australasian Chamber of Commerce, when Sir Joseph Carruthers, late Premier of New South Wales, gave an address on the position and resources of New South Wales. Sir Joseph, in the course of a spirited defence of Australian finance, claimed that the whole of the interest on the public debt was being paid by the net earnings of public works. Australia was rapidly becoming independent of the London money market. He was confident the Australian people would not tolerate the Commonwealth’s disposition to encroach on the States’proportion of the Customs revenue. Sir Joseph Carruthers urged Britishers to use Australian wines, the production of which was capable of immense development. He declined to regard Australia’s increasing trade with the East as a danger or an evil.
