FEDERATION.
Adelaide, Angust 14. Sir Frederick Sargood, interviewed, said the interest in Federation was steadily increasing In Victoria. There was a strong objection by tbe peoplo in the Colony to an income tax owing to its inquisitorial character and the large amount of labor involved by those liable to make out the balance-sheets. In many cases it was impossible to arrive at an estimate only of income. He preferred a wealth or surplus tax similar to that of New Zealand whioh would be far less cumbersome and burdensome. Tbe marked determination in Victoria at present, be said, was in favor of lower duties and a wonderful advance of free trade.
