The Promoters, in placing the fore-, going'lac's before the people of this Colony 1 ; desire: to point out 1 the'very great disadvantages that colonis's are sure to labor under by lending—or rather, giving—such a large sum of money as: stated above to foreign Batiks, to be lent back to the people here at very high rates of intereßV and on mp?t arbitrary conditions. They therefore have no hesitation in suggestirig the prudence and wisdom; of the colonists keeping within their own domain the absolute, control of their own moneys ; ns by so dbingthey will most effectually destroy the risk of future monetary disturbances,, wtiich they have had on more than one occasion to^ deplore in the past, brought .about solely by' some, crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests of the foreign Bank most strongly take root. ......... .. „ .- 9th.
