; ; ; :■ SOUTH AFRICAN: ,;Notwithstanding the.increased 1 gold: product tion: .of .the ..Transvaal and • the improvement in, tho, agricultural ■ and -, pastoral Industrie";, the.conditions; 111 South Africa are 'still-'-very' unsatisfactory.: The Cape :■ Town correspondent ■' ofi/the Economist'-' fl/mdon) says i--"Our imports .and Customs' revenue are still shrinking and it is curious that-this applies even to tho iransvaal. The banks are behaving with prudence and care, but ,they are finding:, that they ■need;all they:have of-these qualities,.and even 1 the insurance,societies are .not expanding as■: they usually do, whether in-good times or bacl ,-.. ■, Agricultural prospects are .'improving, and the mining output is .increasing, but 1 t¥e fact is that the normal/growth of these great industries is slow, .in.: affecting the people a B a, ..whole, which has'had its. taste jaded firstly by.years of importing /capital for: the' Rand, and, .secondly, by the ..unnatural inflation consequentupon the enormous expenditure of Imperial money, during , the - war;/ The day of manufacturing-in .South Africa is still';distant. Altogether, therefore, our prospects are not oommensuate with lour habitual notions and our immediate task is the' disagreeable one of.lowering, our conception of the propor scale of public, and '.private expenditure'until it .'meets' the sober "advance of' our real, resources. In short,wo have , been painfully' learning..that;we chh afford to be a prosperous and strong, people, but not to bo a, luxurious or splendid people, and the .contrast between the-length of-time which it takes for bitter experience to inculcate this salutary lesson and the rapidity with: which three or four favourable statistical tables intoxicate some of us into forgetting it, is a theme over which the most cheerful of philosophers' might wedp." ;
