Budget Night Critique of Goulburn Surplus and Sugar Policy
The article argues the Budget shows a net surplus of 2,370,000 with two million held back for Bank Charter talks and income tax bargaining. It praises reforms on vinegar duty and wool, supports coffee and marine insurances changes, but calls the sugar plan a major blunder for inviting free labour sugar at a differential duty, criticising selective morality on slave labour issues while noting protectionist remnants. The tone is cautious yet pointed, aligning with a pro Free Trade stance and demanding consistent policy.
