'Our banks have altogether too mush
control over the vital interests and in-
dustries of our country. A week im-
porter buys and itnporto more goods than
we need, he floods the country with corn
moroiel drommere to effect aloe and the
unwary do too much buying of such
goods; the banke concentrate their
funds too much for the use of these
wholesale centres ; notes, the proceeds
of these sales, are readily dieoonnted,
and the gold of our country exported for
geode we should and could in a large
measure make our selves. Thus the
banks with such power aro working

National Policy. To prevent the whole.
ale discounting of such notes and pre-
serving intact the wealth of our country,
the over•exportation of our gold, the
banjos must be made to increase their
reserves, primarily to protect their de.
positora' money, but mainly to prevent
them front using it for over -importa-
tions which they do now "without leave
or license," injuring to a dangerous ex.
tont the vital interests of all concerned.
With thie unbridled power at their com-
mand, they mainly seals large centres.

speculative purposes in foreign countries,

look after the pennies, the pounds will
take care of themselves, don't hold in
this case. Our numerous villages, in-
stead of becoming a source of strength
and wealth, are sadly lugging behind,
and [ fully believe mainly from want of
cheap money facilities. Previous to
1878 our country was in a sickly in-
dustrial and financial condition—the
cheap capital of England, the cheap
labor of Germany and England, and the
terrible vim and push of Mr. Yankee
was too much for ns—nearly strangled—
until we were induced to copy, only
partially, from the most sucueseftil
national policy of the United States,
which brought no relief—saved ns from
bankruptcy and ruin. Cheap money
and plenty of currency is the twin
brother of our National Policy and sua-
ooss to Canada. Now is our opportunity.
