Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paper on the Relations of the Colonies to the Mother Country, Considered From an Agricultural, Economical, and Commercial Point of View: Read in the Rooms of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science
Mr. C. Booth as a Victorian could say that that colony was ready to receive any members of our surplus population. He had been surprised at the rapid way in which public Opinion in England was being educated on the question of emigration. When he had arrived in England two years ago the only people whom Englishmen thought it well to take measures for sending out were the paupers. Since that, they had advanced to the idea Of sending out those who were on the verge of pauperism, and now they were talking of sending out skilled labourers. He could only say that in the colony he came from there was room for all classes. The colonies, however, would never consent again to receive convicts.
Mr. Noble explained that Mr. J. S. Mill, the authority of whose name had been brought to bear in favour of protection in new countries, only admitted its advisability under most exceptional circumstances.
