The Wairarapa Daily. MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1882. OUR MAIN CHANCE.

Our main bhance in New Zealand lies not in the sagacity of our Legislature, the wisdom of bur Government, or the foolishness of our Opposition,'but in the private enterprise of the promoters, of the frozen meat trade, An increase of exports is the. one thing needful in this colony to compensate for the drain on its resources which flows perenially to London in interest on loans. In spite of the enormous prospective importance of this in-; dustry, it apparently meets with little attention in either the House or the Cabinet, and the manifest changes it is likely to bring about in the circumstances of all' colonists : seem to be overlooked by our statesmen, who are busied about smaller matters. Whatever progress is being made in. developing this hew ; trade" is entirely due to private individuals; and to this district especially credit may be £ivenfor the interest it has displayed in the traffic. America, it is well known, headquarters - of the frozen [meat export trade, and there are to be found the" most perfect and economical methods,of, working it. The very necessary task' of investigating . the American processes at headquarters has fallen into good bands. : Mr? Charles Pharazyn, of this district has made exhaustive Inquiries at x-ew York and other places' into 'every'detail of the trada prbbesses 1 .! 'The result of them has been to Wellington Meat Export Company and his representations ihave/badthe effect of inducing its directors to'postpone ordering shore plant pending'further advices,' Mr Pharazyk recommends an ammqniai,cal process, as less costly at the outset, [and more economical in working than ■the proposed refrigerating works.. Mr [Pharazyn is iiow' in' and informs the directors that experiments [are now being.made with -anoiner [machine which claims to be more perJ feet "than my of its Pending the result of these experiments the Wellington order for maohinery will.be suspended,, It will-thus ibe seen that notwithstanding the success jof the Dunedin cargo, improvements jaralikely to be introduced in the future, ! which will lessen the cost of freight, jand reduce to a minimumdeterioration ,of the meat while en route. In a report which has been prepared for the annual [meeting this week, the Directors add:— s" It will be doubtless regarded as a Subject for congratulation, that your [Directors have secured for this port a ship, "The Lady Jocelyn," fitted [with freezing machinery" to load ;27J5' tons of 1 meat and 25 tons of , dairy produce:during the months,[of January-February next j this it is confidently expected will be attended with the same amount of success' that followed the shiqment per "Dunedin," the result of which is so widely known and fully justifies your Directors'in entertaining the most sanguine expectations regarding the prospects, of this Company. An endeavor has been : and is still being made, to secure further vessels upon the same basis, but up to the present your Directors areuriabW to l-eportany success in this direction, }i is true ships can- be obtained,- providing this Company, will '■. guarantee a Series of cargoes at a full rate of freight; but in view of the probability of Direct Steam Service, which it is'understood that the Government propose during the present session, to take power, to establish, your Directors have not felt Med upon to commit themselves to such ah arrangement."
