The success of the New Zealand loan iB an indication tl at Homo in. veßfors am nof losing faith in tho colony. The remlinefl' in taking up Hi« slock was liltlnnhot of a rush. This argues well for tli-t colony's se. curity, and is all tho mora pleasing I

when we consider that money is not over-pleniful, and that high tenr.s are still being offered by other countries. The success of the loan may safely be considered as due to a large extent to the statement of the Treasurer that although we had a surplus of half-a-million the expenditure would bo carried out with prudence, and that only public works of pressing necessity would lie underlain. The business man who forgets himself in the height of prosperity, and'launches out in all things with prodigal extravagance, is not considered by the baukuras the best of maiks, and as with [he person so with the State. It is contended by many that we should cease borrowing—that we ought to go slower and wait till the revenue pays for the works. The contention is very good until those who raise it find that a railway, a road, or an expensive bridge is neadv\\ badly in their own districts. It is then dropped iike the proverbial hot potato, and the contenders join lustily in the lino ami cry for money, money, money, and like Pea is' baby, are unhappy till they g"th. The-loan, as pointed out in ihelJudgel, is to be spent on necessary works, and works mostly thai will pay good chiefly the Main Trunk line and opening up the country. The scheme of land settlement—a scheme thai has prospered ho well, and which the neighbouring colonies are now adopting—would fail utterly if facilities for the transit of produce were not provided. Facilities are needed as the scheme progresses, and the only wi-.y to supply tiiem is by the raising of loans. It is the scheme of land settlement that has placed us in the proud position we now hold, and is making us the envy of sister countries. In the circumstances loans tire justified,
