Among the recommendations made by tbs
Committee, in accordance with the premise.
above laid down, are the following;
10. That there are many Industrial purfnts pecplisr,,
adapted to the colony which might be Introduced with
ads Vantage and would become sources OF wealth ~ h.
colony II adequately protected during the period Of
infancy. That tho present position OF the brewing and
mailing branches s stated by the witnesses TO be due %
them to such state Of efficiency that in a short tim.

and would be injurious to the colony; but that tempo
rry protection to ceranspeced articles would deyelop
many manufactures, peculiarly adapted to tie colony
and which, thoroughly established would be eef
supporting and to require the fostering aid Of pro-
tectiye duties. Among these, the Committee would
especially mention Tweeds, Cloths and coarse Wooep
n lo.Is. Dn,.
Malt.
al That the development OF some other industrial
pursuits would often be best promoted by the offer Of
bonus upon production. They would mention the follow
ing articles deserving this particular encouragement
Common glass bottles fast becoming scarce and too bulky
to be imported to adyantage-a bonus Of say is per
dozen upon manufacture Of first 10000 dozen; paper
printing packing, bonus Of lOs per upon mani

"l2 With view to developing the manufacture OF NM
fannels and cloths still extensively followed by small
farmers in Wales and Yorkshire the Committee sugges
that may be desirable to encourage the introduction
small colonies Of Welhmen and YOrkshiremen acqnSint
ed with these processes the colony paying their pas
sages and aferward granting them farms in simple
subject to their manufacturing certain specified quanti
ties Of flannel or cloth"
This is but the entering-wedge. The dal
cannot be distant when other colOnists vii
follow the New-Zealanders. The principles
above set forth will lead to the legitimate con
clusions, and the colonists thus cease to b.
mere hewers of wood and growers of Wool 70
