THE FUTURE OF NEW-ZEALAND.
Lecturing in Sydney on New Zealand the other day, Major Dane, ' the great American traveller, said:— They heard that New Zealand was ruined, but he had seen his own country ruined three times-absolutely wiped out, Tet they were in a fairly healthy condition to-day. New Zealand ruined—they might as well tell him the sun was ruined because a cloud was across his face. All that she had to do was to develop a country that would carry fifteen millions of people. With her climate, soily and mines, how can she be ruined? "Why she could can as much fruit as •California, and.the world's markets are waiting for it, but it was said that site had not got the manufactories that America had. Neither had America in its boyhood; but it was not the manufactories that made the what it was, but the agriculture behind it. Everything was in New Zealand to please the eye and charm the soul, and all that the land was crying for was for men and women to come and possess it."
