With respect to colonial prejudice, it is first necessary to fruce its origin. It arose to a very large extent from the fact that when Chinese were first imported into Australia-they were trooted on very much the same footing as Europeaus, being also too highly pait, their average rate of pay ranging from 208. to 308. per week. Since they are one of the moat enterprising, intelligent and adaptable of races, is an extraordinary short time they became a
