lation to the rnpiiremente of hcw colony You unite underatend that the true interest of tho people lay in the prosperity of their country Tbat the prosperity of a country depends to great extent on it reproductive powers reproduction being the wealth of a nation That tho reproductive powers of nation deends upon ite laws ana whether such arc framed with the object of loitering the industries of its people for a Lainy any It ia not that a Duke has £500u) a year but that a Ihouaaud father of families have £50 a year that ia true national wealth and well being' The prosperity of a nation is not produced by a policy tbat makes the rich man richer and tho poor man poorer but by a policy that enables every man to obtain a fair wages for a fair day' work always enable him to find the work to do and the employer to find the wage to pay him Nation do not grow rich and powerful by transferring their means to employ and feel the priaon or pauper population of foreign land while their own people walk about idle allowing their Industrie to die out but by fostering industries thus employing their own peoples and keeping their capital in their own lend to be rendered reproductive and tho increase the general health of the country These are position I (hint Mr Editor all reasonable men will admit let us therefore consider whet ia the course that has been pursued in New South Wale whether our ruler have understood the firt principle of good government or whether they have been and now are mere political charlatan who have sought office either from ambitious motives or fora

A clique who have thrown dust into the rye of Che public so aa lo enable them to pick the public'a pocket how ahell we test Chia11 important question?
