A COMMERCIAL USTOVRTHE USTI:ALLIS

-ebiokiks:

The Melbourne Argus of May 2R says It is
understood that the chief object of the Governor's visit to
Beethworth, and of his proposed meeting with Sir William
Venison, is the establiahmsnt of a commercial union similar
to that which has for teeny years been iu lamelisial opera-
tion between Prussia and the minor states of Germany. In
Germany previously to this union, commercial affairs were
in so unsatisfactory a state so can well be conceived. Every
petty state had its own tariff, its own custom-
houses, and its own customs regulations. The conse-
quence was that the internal trade of Germany wassubjected
to innumerable and vezatious restriction., w hill were just
so many clog. upon the wheels of industry. The Zoilverrin
has dune much to remedy this evil. In recommending a
similar union to Australia, we do not overlook the import-
ance also of a political and federal 1111W111; but there is this
grand difference between the two kinds of union. that the
political union involves so many considerations, there are so
many intereets to be reconciled and so many prejudice. to be
overcome, that it must be a work of many years. On the
other hand the commercial union is one of comparatively
may attainment; the conflicting interests ate few, and the
feeling among the mercantilo Lady throughout the colonies is
entirely favourable. The establishment of a commertial
union would in all probability very greatly facilitate and
promote the still more important object of an Australian
political confederation, sod with this object there could not
be a more useful preliminary measure. Such is the object to
which we invite the attention, not only of the governments,
but of the people, of the Australian colonies. It
is certainly very important that a fair arrangement
should be made in reference to the trade of the
Murray, and we are glad to hind that the Governors of
New South Wales and Victoria have turned their attention
to this subject. But we trust that this will be the prelimi-
nary to • much larger question, and that they may consider
the propriety of establishing a common Australian tariff,
with free trade between the several colonies, on the principle
of the German Union. We have long been favourable to
such a system, and this is not the first time it has been
mooted in these colonies. The time has come when the evils
of a divided and antagonistic policy ore becoming serious.
Sooner or later a more comprehensive and more olioient sys-
tem will he implied, and it is self-evident that the alteration
can be most rosily and beneficially made iu the infimey of the
nation, before 'vested interests' arise to oppose the general
good for the sake of a few."
