“C.H.P.” writes from Otngo, Now Zealand, ns follows:—“I lmvo boon out in New Zealand two years, tlio whole of the timo.having been spent, in Otago, South Island. Farming generally, and the rearing of sheep in particular, are carried on under conditions eminently suitable to the small farmer of 200 or 400 acros, having a starting capital of, say, £SOO or more. Many men nro doing woll, although they started on much smaller beginnings. Land cannot bo considered anything but cheap, ‘slice])' country being procurable at £3 an aero, and sometimes less; while farm land, already broken up and cropped, with excellent results, having fences elected, orchards planted, with living house, stables, outhouses, and other protection built,'may be bought from £5 to £lO an acre. New Zealand is an ideal country for the- working man,” continues this correspondent. “The agricultural laborer may receive as little as £1 2s Gd a week and his keep. Ho may also qualify for much work may obtain 6s to 8s a day. moro. Casual laborers on unskilled The artisan or craftsman in the towns is remunerated far above the rato of his fellow workman at Home, and is also the special care of a sympathetic Government. New Zealand suffers, and its progress is comparatively slow,- not because of its faults —they arc microscopic—but because of its disabilities, the greatest of which are, of course, the distance from its markets and want of population. The first will only be overcome by speedier aiid more direct transit of all its seaborne trade; the second may operate against the country for many years to come unless a workable scheme of assisted passages is adopted by the Government. Naturally, the careful working man—exactly the kind of man wanted—thinks twice before lie spends nearly £IOO on passage money for himself and family, say, of three, besides losing from six to eight weoks’ work in getting here.” This letter has been published in one of the loading London papers.
