As IS wen known, the Victorians nave
for some time enjoyed the protection Of a
moderate tarH not imposed for revenue
only And tneir neighbors to the West.
the South aus rallans, are becoming col
verts TO the Victorian ideas. An article
by r. W Dale Of Birmingham in the
Contemporary Review, on Australia
gives a hint Of the reasoning that in part
has led 10 the change.
He nagrates that the present Premier
Of South Australia finds in the fortunes
of the fruit trade a conclusive argument
for South Australian protection. Saws
the Premier When we have a good sea
son the Victorians usually have a bad one
and the Victorians usually have good
season when ours Is bad. What happensg
If we have an unusually large crop. the
fruits very cheap on this side Of the
border, and onr market in Victoria IS
spoiled by the tariff When we have n
poor crop, and want good prices we can't
get them, because our market is flooded
with fruit from Victoria.
Mr.. Dale writes many pages on fruit
and wine growing in Victoria, but does
not seem impressed with the success or
that industry in South Australia. This
is the old story The Victorian fruit
grower secured against flooding from
other colonies. develops fruit growing and
canning, adding a new and secure source
of income 10 the Colonial resources 1t

ask II South Australia is not injured.
1t undoubtedly is, and will continue
to be injured until its fruit growers

the industrial history Of our country,
from le4J to 1861 scares investors from

here, caused feeling Of Indifference and
