A LOAN POLICY.
TO THE EDITOR. Sib, —So it is proposed to resume the old borrowing policy ! I ask my fellow-electors to consider well before they endorse such a retrograde step. It was that policy which gave us our political railways and our overbridges, at the price of the political honor of our members. That policy accentuated provincial jealousy, and sapped our national unity. That policy left us all but bankrupt, and cost us thousands of our best colonists during the dark years of recovery. Why are we asked to endorse a resumption of the borrowing policy ? To complete the Otago Central. Bah ! Breathes there a man with wits so dull that he believes the Central would fare any better than it docs now, when he thinks of the scramble there would be;? How about, the Northern Trunk, the Midland, that is to be thrown on the country's hands, and dozens of others? Pause and think, fellow-electors.—l am, etc., Antics. Dunedin, June ">.
