which he has nearly succeeded in defeat
ing US. The old way in which We are
working we have inherited, but we must
exchange our old method for the more
rational one Of the enemy. It is only
since the application of the principle We
are now trying to introduce that Beet has
been a success. He had been an advocate
of this measure before Governor Garde
came here, but he (the Governor) had taken
the matter in hand in a practical manner.
It was only in this way that the scheme
could be carried out, and we must regard
it as an aid from Providence that we have
now the men to help us through. He
had embraced this opportunity of saying
this much for a matter for which he was
sure all would do their utmost (Cheers).
Governor Garde said that he always
looked upon his coming over to Sta.
Cruz as pleasure trips. He would now
here beg to propose that the Central Fac
tory Committee will continue to work
as hitherto, and there would be no doubt
that every man that owned a. cent
would JOIN in the enterprise (Cheers).
Judge Rosenstand thanked on behalf
of the Committee for the kind way in
which the proposal had been made and
responded to. While the Committee
have at times had a feeling of despon-
dency being the ruling sentiment, they
felt that they might be accused OF luke
armnes Had he not been praised,
he would have been inclined to praise
himself. The Committee was appointed
at Castle Bourke in a way partaking of
the character Of an impulse. Now,
that is certainly a good way .~Qf"appoint-
ment. There was scarcely q sSssent-
ing voice. A special Committee was
sent to Martinique. There was a feeling
that the scheme would be q success.
The dissenting voices were only heard
afterwards. Several parties withdrew.
The Committee was blamed by some be-
cause they allowed the Withdrawals, and
bv Others because they refused sOme.
The Committees work has consequently
been of a more passive kind. 1t has how
ever worked in what might be called an
unofficial way in conversations and ln-
teryiews. The object of the Committee,
it would appear, might have been con-
sidered attained and their labours closed
at the arrival of Mr.. Hagemann. 1t was
however believed that they could do
some good, and they continued.
1t is necessary that we all do our best
endeavours to support the cause out here,
and we can all do something. We must
cooperate. All must cooperate. He does
not by any means give up those who do
not ioin 1T present. There is hope that
they will come round, and then there is
more 10y in heaven over one sinner etc.
Let only one sinner return aud there will
be ioy-not least in the Committee.
1t is always difficult to bring about
cooperation in the Colonies. It is of
course different in a country where there
is but one people, one nationality. When
we speak about cooperation we under
stand that of the whole island, but it may
be the case, in fact it is so, that there are
people who have not yet seen how the
idea can serve the whole. Finally he
would beg to add one word more about
co-operation. There is one form of that
which he took to be a very pleasant one,
that resulting in a dinner party, and
he would beg to propose a toast for
that (Cheers).
Mr.. Hagemann rose and said he had
heard gentlemen in speaking of the pro-
posed change of our manufacture make use
