THE DEPRESSION AND DULL TIMES.
TO TUB BMTOE. Sik,—ln the course of an address delivered to his congregatipn last evening on "Doubt," the Rev. J. Beckenham stated that the present depression and dull times were in a great measure owing to doubt. Men were running the Colony down, croaking about everything, doubting the Colony's progress, afraid to spend their money, doubting if the industries of New Zealand would prosper. They locked their money up in the banks. The rev. gentleman stated that there were men in the Colony who could give everyone of the unemployed work, but they were too selfish and would not help the Colony or any but themselves. Thd rev. gentleman is quite correct. It is a standing disgrace to New Zealand that there are thousands of willing men wanting work but can get none. I propose the formation of a " croakers'association."—l am, etc , Anti-Croakee. Dunedin, September 7.
