We commend the following remarks, from the European Mail, to others besides those for whose benefit they were written:— "Macaulay says 'Advertising is to business what steam is to machinery—the great propelling power;' and this is the real secret why our cousins across the water and their wares are so often heard of in the colonies. The stock arguments against advertising are always to be met by the substantial facts of lar°-e orders and increasing trade. If a man is to be a seller, it is to his interest to endeavor to find a buyer, and if inventors and manufacturers will only da themselves the justice to advertise their wares, they will find colonists and residents in foreign countries appreciative enough. ' "What do you lack' should be the question persistently asked, for there are so many others in opposition always ready to propound a similar proposition that reticence, like delay isdangerous." J ' We hear that a Royal Commission is to be appointed to investigate the claims of Taiaroa and his people in the Otago purchase, as to the " tenths" promised thesellers of the block, and to inquire into the unfulfilled promises given to the Ngaitahu generally re hospitals, schools, mahtnga Icai, and kindred matters.— New Zealander.
