SOME FACTORS OF FEDERATION. 
703 
With the commerce of the West and the commerce of the East, 
which must sooner or later be ours, it is absolutely essential that we 
should be a great shipbuilding and seafaring people all along our 
enormous coastline of 8,000 miles. With our commerce, with 
magnificent agricultural areas along our coasts, our coal, our iron, our 
gold, and every other known metal scattered through our territories, 
and with our vast interior for pastoral purposes, which some day, by a 
scientific system of irrigation, may be turned into a garden, the future 
Commonwealth of Australia, if properly constructed, and laid upon 
enduring lines, with a truly federal conception of the various interests 
and necessities of its future vast populations, will yet build up for 
itself a peaceful and enduring fame as one of the greatest factors of 
the world’s ultimate civilisation.
