PROTECTION FOR MANUr ACTURES IN NEW COUNTRIES 153
The corresponding figure for Victoria would be about
£4,000,000, the smaller figure here than in New South
Wales being partly accounted for perhaps by Victoria
having one or two industries, like boots and shoes,
where she is an exporting country, and naturally sup-
plies the home market also, and partly by Victoria,
though having much the same population, not being
quite so prosperous as New South Wales. Still in Vic-
toria we have £4,000,000 only as the maximum of new
manufactures that could be set up or much less than
10 per cent. of the total production. The principal
