OUR FINANCIAL POSITION.
■» THE OPINION OF THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. fCNIIED PBESB ASSOCIATION.] Sydney, April 13. The Sydney Morning Herald says that New Zealand has reason to feel satisfied with the position disclosed by the Colonial Treasurer, especially as the increase of revenue has been obtained over a wide area, embraced m the Customs, Railways, Stamps, and direct taxation. Mr Seddon, it adds, has behaved with prudence and self-denial. With reference to Mr Seddon's hint at something like a free breakfast table, the paper adds tlyit it cannot wonder at the necessity for lowering the taxation according to the plain rule m cases of a surplus becoming obvious m a country where taxation is not light.
