THE PREMIER AND RAILWAYS.
The Premier is reported to have said, at Leeston —“ I wish to warn you, gentlemen, against a proposal which may possibly be submitted t‘o the Colony before long, something which will be called a Comprehensive Financial Scheme, baited with offers to spend large sums in public works, and involving the sale of our railways. I have reason to believe that proposals of that kind may be made. I hope you will turn a deaf ear to them, for depend upon it they will be framed, not in the interest of the Colony, but of the capitalists from whom they will proceed.”
