FIFTY YEARS AGO
CONDITIONS IN COLONY - Economic conditions in New Zealand 50 years ago are described in the fol- 0c lowing extract from the Nkw Zkaia>*d - Herald of October 8, 1888: . " "Now that Parliament has prorogued f the colony has fallen .into its usual, everyday course of life. Compared with times not long past, when the loan ex- • . penditure was in full course, things are now dull. We are suffering the reaction, and by contrast we imagine that everything is stagnant. Bnt everyone who ; y..looks beneath the surface must see that in reality the foundations are being laid for true and lasting prosperity. We are too apt to think that if our cities . : « are not showing signs of .rapidly increas- . • ing business ? if their populations are not increasing, if v shops and warehouses are not being erected, then the colony w H not amaking progress." .'
