SYDNEY,, June IG.
'The Tolcg-raph states tlia-t rrctticr Scos despatch is of no official or .representative value. It is simply the opinion' 6f. : a small group of politicking, whor happen; 'to iJi'e, Protectionists, The State always • voted for Frectradc every time the question was put to it, and 1 there is <no' ground for supposing that, the. public point bf view has changed to such a revolutionary extent that it is now favourable to Protection. The question is one for the- Federal Goveiiiment f and State 'Governments have no right to , meddle with it. It is strange that Mr Chainbcrlaiu should have permitted Premier See's breach of etiquette. The Herald declare^ that Admiral Rawson was in no way responsible for the message or its coutcntß. He simply, transmitted for tlio benefit of Die linparial Government the gratuitous views of his Ministers ou^a question not within their province. Premier See's message is little short of an impertinence. ,
