THE REV- JOSEPH COOK.
HIS OPINION ON NEW ZEALAND,
Sydney, this day. Rev. Joseph Cook, interviewed on his return from New Zealand, said he was much struck-with -the extent to which Stftt^ Socialism had gone in that colony. The working man was using his political power to the utmost, and nob doing ib altogether wisely. There appeared to be too strong a disposition to rely on the Governmenb for help which ought to be rendered by the individual, having bhe effect of making capital scarce, and driving ib from the colony. It will require all the wise guidance of the best men if the resources of New Zealand are to be properly developed. There could be no doubt capital was now injuriously cautious about launching into enterprises. What the colony'wants is population. It could stand twenty millions yet; bub the working man won't have any more if he can help it. He wants to put a poll tax on people arriving, instead of encouraging them to settle the land, and develop its great resources.
