Sinopsis
Excerpt from Australia and the Fiscal Problem
Australia a commercial system in its relations with the Empire, which may be shaken to pieces at any General Election by the destruction of a tariff of which the people have never heartily approved. And yet the whole of this controversy is being carried on with the under standing that in the three great Commonwealths of the future - Canada, Australia, and South Africa - a Protectionist tariff will exist which, without seriously interfering with revenue, will allow a large concession, such as 33 per cent., to be made to the Mother Country against the importations of the foreigner.
I quite agree with Mr. Chamberlain that price is not everything, and that sentiment, patriotism, the love of retaining our prestige as a component part of the greatest Empire in the world, all weigh heavily in the scale Of national Opinion. But there must at the same time be some sense of proportion, and there must be a breaking point where sentiment, no matter how splendid, must yield to the practical necessities of the situation.

Excerpt from Australia and the Fiscal Problem
To The Electors Of Australia And Tasmania.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Australian Commonwealth commenced under the brightest auspices. The agitation for union was a peaceful one, unstained by violence. The eager erection of provincial barriers was succeeded by a universal cry for their destruction. Unfettered trade between the Australian Colonists, right through and all round the Continent, became as precious in the sight of the Protectionist as it had always appeared to the advocate of commercial liberty. Not selfishness, nor fear, so much as a desire for closer ties of affection, inspired the movement. When the hour of victory came, there was an outburst of general rejoicing at the dawn of a new era of enlightenment and prosperity in the Southern Hemisphere.
Two and a-half years of real life have destroyed some ideals and chilled the ardour of many patriotic minds. The first Federal Ministry had a grand opportunity, which it has completely missed. With unbounded scope for the display of those good qualities which were so much in evidence in their platform deliverances, the contrast between displays of rhetoric and sentimentalism on the "stump" and exploits in the sphere of statesmanship was never more painfully elaborated.
