Manwatu Standard (PUBLISHED DAILY.) The Oldest Daily Newspaper on the West Coast. TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1886. SUPPRESSION OF SWEEP STAKES.
Since the suppression of sweepstakes within the colony by our Legislature, it has been remarked (says an exchange};that a large amount of money finds its way abroad for investment m sweeps m plares where they are still permitted. The balance being so greatly against the colony m every species of exchange, every little is of moment, and we hardly think it entered into the calculations of our legislators that the effect of the abolition of sweeps m New Zealand would be to deprive it of the circulation of a large amount of its hard earned capital Whatever may be the moral effect of the suppression, it will be admitted that the practical effect has only further tended to aggravate the commercial depression, and mado two evils where only one existed before.
