New Australia.

Adelaide, May 24

A letter from Mr Alex. McDonald, * leading member of the New A us iralia Party,'dated March 18, says the attempt at communism failed, and the failure proved that it only renders people more selfish. He claims that the settlers were at least not worse than average specimens of their re ipective classes, yet there is not one of them to-day but will admit that they degenerated under Communistic con ditions, and all recognise that some thing is wrong. A decentralisation icheme is on the tapis, the object being to settle the membern of the Associa tion on land individually or in groups on the single tax principle. Mr McDonald says, though the failure is j admitted, there is no reason why the ■ettlers should not form the nucleus of ft successful colony in Paraguay. The climate and conditions are good, but want of funds is the drawback, and at least fifty per cent of the •ettler'g labor is frittered away on unproductive works. He speaks of the wheat crop yielding only a bushel per acre, and adds that the tettlere find it impossible to pay where miioh clearing must be done, even by those who have capital; but he is con vinced they will do well on the Pampas. The settlers are beyord actual want, though for some time the chance of making anything in the shape of hard cash is very remote. In conclusion he says thr.t those dis appointed with the settlement continue to leave.

LABOR

Sydney, May 24 The President of the Workers' Union officially denied the statement that the Executive consented to workera accepting a reduction of the shearing rate in certain districts from £1 to 18s per 100 sheep, and adds that members may engage under any form of agreement for the present season, but are strongly urged to maintain the TTnion rate, and on no account to accept a reduction. The Wilcannia Branch of the Union resolved that the executive acted in a cowardly manner, and was no longer possessed of its confidence, for allowing men to shear under any agreement, atid decided to adhere to the Conference agreement.

CLARKE'S CARBONIZED Wheat Protector HA.S BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists in England, as well as by dozens ot farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the scad, causing the young plant to come up much sooner, and crow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from the ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adda firmness to ihe straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this preparation may remain for any length of Haie without sustaining iniory, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT, And of greater value than that grown from seed dressed with other preparations. Local and provincial testimonials can be seen at my office. henryTander, SOLE AGENT FOR ASHBURTON COUNTY. 4*lol OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT.
