But there has been a restoration of conâ€" fidence, which is necessarily preliminâ€" ary to a restoration of prosperity. In other words, the task is in process of accomplishment. The astonishing fact is that in Australia there has been no substantial development in economic conditions to which the betterment of Government finances may be attriâ€" buted. The improvement has been due entirely to the faith of investors and of the public in the ability and honesty of the administrators. The material gain has been reduction of taxation.

On almost every page of the Suppleâ€" ment to the Oxford English Dictionary one will find a new word that first received its introduction to standard English through the pages of a daily newspaper.

Many an "aspiring idiom" has gatherâ€" ed respectability from its first public appearance in a newspaper to achieve the ultimate beautification of & place in the Oxford Dictionary.
