After November, 1889, the ter
minus of the Oceanic Steamship line
will probably be Melbourne instead
of Sydney. The reason for the
change is that the government of
New South Wales is somewhat hos
tile TO granting a subsidy while that
OF Victoria is in favor of it and it is
stated that Victoria and New Tea
land are ready to give a long time
contract to the company, hence the
change.
Tie Republic Tariff Bill just in
troduced in the United States Sem
ate is an attempt to, deal terrific
blow at the sugar and rice interests
| of these Islands. 1t makes cut of
over fifty (50) per cent. in the tariff
on sugar and another of sixty (6O)
per cent. ON rice. The Mills Bill
makes moderate reduction in the
duties on sugar and rice but accom-
panies it by general Tightening of
| all burdens so that its passage
would leave the sugar interests in
better condition than before. The
Senate bill makes the slashing cut
as above aud gives no corresponding
relief whatever in other directions.
1t is not hard just now to tell in
whose direction the interests of the
Islands lie.
