A MISSING SCHOONER.

The cutter Progress sailed from Suva on the Ist instant for Deuba in charge of George Queen, who recently arrived from Sydney in the brigantine Nightingale, and who is believed to bo the holder of a mate's certificate issued in Sydney. Queen, before sailing, quarrelled with his native crew, and left with one hand only, a German named Martin Madsen. Before sailing, Queen received a sum of L2OO from Mr J. JMurchie to take to his manager at Deuba, and the cutter was laden with plantation stores valued at LIOO. The cutter should have readied the plantation in less than a day, but has not since been heard of. It is pre sumed that Queen and Madsen have absconded with the money and the vessel, and warrants have been issued for their arrest. The matter has been reported to the High Commissioner, so that 11. M. cruisers should keep a lookout for the vessel. i

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1887.

Tor the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The most able essay yet published on the industries of New Zealandhas lately been issued by the Industrial Associa tion of Canterbury. It is in the form of an address delivered before the As sociation by Mr W. N. Blair, C.E., Assistant-Engiueer-in-Chief of New Zealand. Mr Blair has rendered good service before in the cause of local in dustry. His book on the timbers of South New Zealand is a very able treatise, and a previous address before the Industrial Association, Dunedin, which was afterwards pub lished in pamphlet form, had a wide circulation. In his latest address, however, he takes a complete survey of New Zealand's industrial condition — past, present, and prospective—and we commend the lit'ld book to the at tention of all colonists who are sincerely anxious to consider the subject of en couraging our local industries dispas sionately. Mr Blair very successfully •. exposes fhe inconsistencies of the colonial Free Trader, raid the arrant folly of advanc ing their theories as if they were as immutable as the laws of the Modes and Persians. He questions the claim of political economy to rank as a science, and observes :— " According to all rule the industries of America should have come to grief long ago, but they are to-day more vigorous than ever. America manu-

factures more steel rails and weaves more woollen cloth than England. We have American locomotives run ning on our railways, because they are cheaper and better suited to our re quirements, and can be got in less time than from England. Belgium, a country where native industries are protected, sliould not be able to compete with Flree-trade England, yet we are using Belgian iron in the

Wa:au bridge because it is cheaper, and we hear of Belgian iron work being used in Glasgow itself for the -same reason. Furthermore, Gerni&a cottons have.in a few instances, been sold in Manchester. The value o£ iron and ironwork imported into Gre.it Britain from Holland during the last iive . years has averaged .£1,847,780 a year." .

AVhen a Free Trader is asked what industry the inhabitants of a colony like this should apply' their ener gies to, he directs attention to' the

land. But Mr Blair, shows that agricultural products as a source of wealth are being"pretty well discounted through the competition of foreign cheap labour: "Wheat is bein<r delivered

into'the granaries of Dakota for Is 9d a bushel, and it can be raised in the in terior of India for 9d a bushel. The car riage from these places to England is probably a little higher than from New Zealand, but the difference cannot be very great, for the total carriage on wheat between Chicago and Liverpool is only 9d a bushel."

The colony more than supplies its own wants in agricultural products. The export of wheat and frozen meat has become non-payable, and we are now dependent mainly upon our wool. Yet, as Mr Blair shows, there are numerous articles of common consump tion which we are in as good a posi tion to produce and manufac ture as any country in the world. We "paid £140,000. for slates in 1885, yet slate, of the best quality is found in unlimited quantities in New Zealand. Mr Blair remarks : "In 1885 about ,£500,000 worth of building materials of all kinds was im ported; and of this amount at least £300,000 worth could be produced

forthwith, and worth more when our resources are further de veloped. In fact, all the articles in this class might be produced here, except a small portion of the metal work and some of the painting material." In a similar man ner, Mr Blair mentions a large number of other articles that might, if a .little judicious stimulus were given, be produced here with ad vantage, affording employment to many persons; He inveighs as strongly as the most rabid Free-trader against extravagant protectionist proposals, and shows, as we have done on various occasions, that injudicious tariff im posts may do more harm than good to the cause of industrial development. At the same time he proves, we think, conclusively that to offer a theory in answer to such an array of facts will never convince the popular mind of the wisdom of sending abroad for articles we could produce here at the very time when hundreds are seeking in vain for work, and every man is at his wits' end to know what he shall do with his boys.

CHEAP MONEY.

We have at last reached " the beginning of the end "of the industrial depression. In a recent article we pointed out that one of the first things to give things a start ahead in these colonies would be a fall in the price of money, and the fall which we then hopefully declared to be coining has come—sooner, perhaps, than was expected, but all the more welcome on that account. It is announced in our cable despatches to day that the Associated Banks of Aus tralia have agreed to reduce the interest on fixed ' deposits by one per cent., and by a natural law the rate in New Zealand is certain also to be reduced. This brings down the rate of interest to 4 par cent, per annum, and as there are many superior investments awaiting capital and many lucrative industries languishing for want of ready money, it is to be expected that large sums will be withdrawn from the banks and placed in safe and legiti mate business ventures. With the cure of the congested condition of capital will come a revival of industrial activity, trade prospects, and general confidence. To make the revival permanent aud secure from it the best possible results, it only re mains for the Government to so arrange the direct taxation and Customs tariffs that enterprise will be encouraged in developing native industries as well as in increasing the flow of external commerce. With cheaper money will assuredly come a rise in the value of property, and that is a matter in which every freeholder is directly in terested.

THE NEW HEBRIDES MUDDLF.

Coloxial persistence and self - assertion have produced the very result which we anticipated in the matter of the occupation of the New Hebrides by France. Instead of securing the end aimed at, the action of the colonies, especially Victoria, has simply supplied France with a lever for urging her ambitious and unsettling projects in Egypt. In point of fact, the rabid opposition to French colonisation manifested by the Vic torian jingoes has stimulated the zeal of our Gallic friends, aud we make bold to say that the French hold of the New Hebrides is to day ten times stronger than it would have been had their action been unopposed. However much our Victorian friends may rejoice over their success in forcing their recognition as a factor in international politics, the fact to which we refer must considerably discount their jubilation. They may also be reminded.by way of checking their exuberance, that they have lost the chance of securing a stoppage 'of the transportation of French convicts to the Pacific Islands, which the Government of the Republic undertook to guarantee in return for being allowed to retain the New Hebrides. The extension of genuine colonisation in the Pacific Islands, by any civilised Power whatever, can only result in immense profit to the older British colonies, and to raise objections on the thin pretext that the islands would be used as naval depots, and would constitute a standing menace to Australasia, was a betrayal of most- niyworthy weakness, if it was not the m< ;iileetation. Until the English colonii strong enough to pro claim a "Monruu doctrine" in the South Pacific, it was the height of " bumkum" for any one of them to take the high dic tatorial stand assumed by Victoria in this question. As matters stand at pi-esent, France is steadily pouring colonists into the New Hebrides, while her statesmen resolutely decline to accede to the British demand that they should name a date for the evacua tion of the islands. With perfect pertin ence, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs makes his reply contingentiipon the British reply to his counter query--" When will the English troops evacuate Egypt?" As if to show their willingness to carry oat the terms of compromise formerly proposed, the French Government have since Novem ber last ceased deporting criminals to the South Pacific Islands ; but it is very ques tionable, from their attitude, whether they will not :uo\v insist upon treating the New Hebrides question on its merits, quite apai"t from their policy of dealing with recidivides. The British Government continue to press for a speedy settlement of the question, but it is plain that they cannot now enforce their demand without giving France the Egyptian quid 'pro quo which she so much desires. From the Imperial standpoint Egypt is of vastly greater importance than the New Hebrides, and it is evident that her " pressure " with regard to the latter question has been all along of a half-hearted kind,and only undertaken to stave off colo nial importunity. We will go further and say that, if it comes to a question of Egypt versus the New. Hebrides, it will be the plain duty of the colonies, in their own interests, to relinpuish the latter. It is a thousand times more vitally important to us that the Suez Canal should be held by England, and our speedy communication with the mother country guaranteed, than that French colonists should be ordered out of a few tropical islands a thousand miles from our shores. On grounds of policy<and patriotism, it would be well if the senseless colonial opposition to bona , Jkle French colonisation were stopped, and that right speedily.

In the Supreme Court yesterday after noon, His Honor deferred his decision upon the iirst objection raised by Dr. Laishiey against Mr Button's motion for writ of eertiorari in respect of the Jubilee Hotel, Newmarket. Other objections were then raised, and finally His Honor, having ex !>ressed doubts as to whether the fiat odged was sufficient, the application was, on Mr Button's motion, adjourned, in order that an amended fiat might be lodged, ot which notice was to be given to the other side. An application in re Walter William Crawford (a bankrupt) to make absolute an order nisi was, by consent, allowed to stand over until Monday.
