TEE INTERCOLONIAL CUSTOMS BILL.
[Special to Press Association.] MELBOURNE, Makoh 8. The Age says that a distinct stage in colonial development has been reached by the introduction into the Imperial Parliament of the Colonial Customs Reciprocity Bill, and that it io worthy of remark that every change in the relations of the colonies with the Empire is in the direction of giving more complete control to the’ colonies in their own affairs, and it is to be presumed that the measure now proposed is but a stepping stone to granting the self-governing colonies power to make their own commercial bargains with Foreign States. No such power, it aaya, is likely to be invested in the Australian colonias while they remain isolated, but no satisfactory reason could bo given for denying an Australian commonwealth the privileges conceded to the Canadian Dominion.
