A GOOD INTENTION.
REMEMBER THIS.
International Exhibitions have come far short of fulfilling the promise with which the first one was inaugurated. They have been held so frequently'that they have become familiar and commonplace. It would not, indeed,'be far from the truth to say that they are sometimes looked upon a3 a species of benevolent'invention for the distribut of medals, representations of which on advertising posters can be emblazoned on every railway station in the world. But we are glad to see that Mr Bosisto, who has had large experience in these matters, and who is on the eve of. departing to London as one of our commissioners. is endeavouring to turn the Colonial Exhibition to good account. In addressing his qonstituents, he ioformed them that he bad pledged himself to have 4 tons of fruit forwarded every fortnight, in order to tempt the English palate with products of Australian gardens. Should he be creating a demand for our fruit, an almost illimitable market will be opened up for our growers. The trade may bo said to maintain whole districts in the south of Europe. As everyone knows, it is enormous and increasing; and there is no reason against Australia securing a portion of it. We grow far more fruit annually than wo can possibly use, and with the improved means of preserving it that now exist, it can be safely carried to England. Mr Bosisto, at least, shows hiiqself anxious to extend the commerce of the colony. If he be successful, he will render a greater'service to the community than,the'whole crowd of politicians who are so fearful of seeing a little money withdrawn from the colony by absentees that they would tax it even at the risk of hindering investments from flowing in. Whether successful or not, he has given a good pledge to the electors of his desire to promote tho welfare of the country.— Argus. ■
Two hundred and fifty thousand English ootton spimiers are engaged all the year round making cotton goods for India. If India were suddenly lost, would that not mean 250,000 people out of work, or, in other words, one-fnth of Lancashire exposed to starvation?

[Every year we send to India £82,000,000 worth of goods.
