That extract goes further, perhaps, than the local exitios would go. The Colonial credit is not in danger, as sooner than that would como additional taxation. The existing imposta in both colonies, however, already cause a severe strain upon the burden bearers, and an almost unbearable clog on the development of these Crown Colonies, and, of course, it is the inequitable and unbusinesslike military levy that is responsible for the mischief. Another metropolitan press champion in the lists is the Broad Arrow of November 10 which, expresses the opinion that justice is on the side of the southern Colony, which against its will is forced to pay a subsidy to the Imperial Government out of all proportion to its size and resources for the maintenance of Imperial responsibilities. It is quoted as saying these encouraging words:
