In other countries labor agitates; in Australia is ruies. It woi'Ks eight hours, plays eight hours, sleeps tight hours in the diurnal course. It has its own house arid garden. 1l wtvirs good c;och-:s. It has always iiiuney in its pockets. J 1 muxes its impress upon the legislation ot a great country. Power is ran.'' exerted with wis dom; even in Australia, despite condi tions which appear to the outsider to be idyllic, there is a l!y in the amber. Labor is tyrannical. It ret uses ini tiative to the individual. It will not allow a man to work when he wants to. It makes it unlawful to do any thing after the stroke of the clock. It reduces life to a mechanical routine. And it delights to harass capital. This is according to the testimony of Mr. J. N. S. Austen, an Australian of leisure, who, with Mrs. Austen, is at present making a tour around the world. Mr. Austen had been to Japan, China and India and came across the continent to Montreal. "Triumphant labor has changed the face of things in Australia," Mr. Aus ten remarked. '"It is dominant in all our legislatures, and the laws it makes annoy and injure capital. It taxes in dustries to such an extent as to make them unprofitable. It claps a heavy income tax upon the man who is mak ing two or three or ten hundred pounds a year; it allows the man who makes one hundred and fifty pounds to go free. It singles out corporations which have invested their money in the coun try, and so harrasses them that it has come to this that many of the great industries are leaving the country. Men of means are selling out and re investing their capital in England. "Is there not sense enough to per ceive that this is killing the goose that lays the golden egg? ''The more prominent in the labor party are beginning to see this, but the mass, conscious of power, desire to make that power felt, even if it result in their own ultimate injury. We had the era in Australia, when we returned men to parliament for the honor of the thing. Now we have the system of payment of members, of which the lab or party takes advantage. Men are elected who are pledged to measures, which, while they consolidate the in terest and the power of the labor vote, are inimical to the general welfare of the country." Labor says at what hour a man shall leave off work in afternoons, and fines him who would dare to live his life as he pleases. It says to the store keeper that he must close his shop at a certain time. It does not matter that the public are disappointed in their wants. Labor is king, and rules with the consciousness of plenary power. iMr. Austen says that the great fede ration scheme has been largely blocked by the attitude of the labor party. A feature of that scheme is the reduc tion of the several legislatures and ministries, and the labor party, dread ing the loss of power and emolument, has opposed the work. It wants to send its usual number of men to the halls of legislation, men who are tak en from the ranks of labor, and who are paid at the rate of three hundred pounds per annum. Each of the five legislatures would, under the federa tion scheme, he reduced to the level of finance committees, nracticallv an idea which the thoughful people favor, making for a great economy, which the labor party does not desire. Mr. Austen thinks, however, that despite the attitude of the labor party and the vote of New South Wales, which have blocked the scheme, the federation idea will be realized, and that in the near future. New South Wales, through the vacillation of the premier, the Hon. Mr. Reid, whom the papers have satirized as the 'Yes-No man,' gave an indeterminate vote, which will be reversed before long. Another thing about New South Wales, according to Mr. Austen, it is free rade, and therefore prosperous. "There was the feeling that in joining federa tion, New South Wales was in the position of a rich man who puts his capital into a poor concern. She felt that she was giving more than she was likely to get." Mr. Austen described the character of the Chinese walls which the vari ous colonies have erected against one another. It is laughable. It is child ish. It is, as the work of sane men. nexpressibly absurd. You would suppose that the five colo nies were inhabited by diverse popula tions, of different speech and ideal each colony determined to keep to it- splf nnrl rpfiKinp' tr cn rrmfh rs frlnncp over its high wall to see whether its i neighbor is suffering or enjoyinsr. "Modification? have been proposed as basis of federation, as you know." Mr. Austen remarked. "Th-s would ! result in a general reduction or the ; protectionist tariffs. Canada has been j looked to as a model. j Another stupid thing, according to j Mr. Austen, is the tax of one hundred j pounds upon every Oriental entering j the country. "The interior of Austra-i lia is tropical, and cannot hf developed i by our white population. The Chinese i and Japanese on the contrary are rmi- j nently fitted for this work of develop-j ment. But the labor party will not j let them. j "The workingman has found his : earthly paradise beneath th Southern j Cross. He sits in his srardn in the ; beautiful summer afternoons. He takes his family for an outinsr. He im proves his mind. He drinks beer. He smokes his pipe. He makes laws for himself and for all others. His posi tion is unique and enviable. All he needs is the sense of responsibility." ImSI ,y jMi Mjtv """" vv Ako. DRUCE MYSTERY OP IIIGIIGATK CEMETERY. Mm. Annn M.irU Druce ha stirred England.
