tailors in this Colony were "tu a certain extent cutting out both the European and Australian manufacturers of clothes,” Again, the public will be surprised to learn that emigration tends to promote famine. People who know something of China and its people, and who have no bias for or against emigration, tell us that famine is produced in three ways, viz, foods, drought, and insurrection The emigration of the thousands from Tolkien province who now swell so considerably the population of the Straits Settlements, and of Java, has certainly failed to produce famine, as the Province of Folkien has, not seen famins for a long series of years." The small kingdom of Scotland does not seem to have suffered much from famine, although it has probably pro- duced more emigrants than any other portion of the earth of a similar extent. If, again, emigration tends to promote famine, and ought therefore to be checked, the check placed upon Euro- pean emigration by the influx of Clu nese into Australia must tend to prevent famine in Ireland.
