CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
PROSPERITY IN AUSTRALASIA

PROSPERITY IN AUSTRALASIA.
The one-quarter of the world that en-
joyed considerable prosperity during
the year 1896 was Australasia. Western
Australia was especially favored as a
result of the opening up Of profitable
gold fields, and the population of the
colony increased by $3.50 persons be-
tween June 30. 1895. and June 80. 1896.
while the revenue for the quarter end
ing September 30, 1896, was almost
identical with that for a whole year
two years ago AS consequence there
has been a plunge into railroad and
harbor construction, a water supply for
the gold fields that will cost S12, 500 900
has been undertaken, and the govern
ment has been authorized to increase
the lebt by $35,0OO000. New South
Wales and South Australia suffered
from a drought which helped to in
crease the price of American wheat, but
the former colony realized a surplus
revenue of over Sl,500, 600, although the
adoption OF a free trade policy abolish
ed protective duties amounting TO over
$2.500 900 in January and to S1,000,O0O
In July. Upon this point the London
Times says THE net outcome seems
to have been a triumph for the free
trade party, and, with promise of inn
proving revenue, diminishing eXpendi-
ture, an expanding area of land settle
ment, growth in population, industry,
shipping, and commerce, Mr.. Reid S
government is to be congratulated on
the progress which has been made. y
South Australia also showed an in
crease Of revenues over the previous
year.
The Queensland revenue likewise was
greater than the expenditures, and
there was an increase of over $5,000,00
in the volume of trade. Agriculture and
mining did we'll, the pastoral industry
held It's own in the face of the cattle
pest and low prices for frozen. meat
and even the cane sugar factories paid
expenses and interest on investments
and they promise to do still better this
year. There was a small deficit in the
revenues Of Victoria, but the Legisla-
ture lowered the tariff from an average
Of about so to one of 35 per cent. and

mier remains in power, however

mania increased her mining industry
and enjoyed a surplus revenue. All thu
Australasia colonies except Queensland
have passed a Federal Enabling bill
and there is some prospect that a Fed
eral convention viii be held in th'
Spring. In view Of the severe depres
sion which has prevailed in Australasi,
for the last half dozen years and of the
fact that the financial collapse there

thing more than good omen for the
