Wairarapa Daily Times. [ESTABLISEHD 1874.] THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1895. THE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND.

Last yea.y Parliament, nf, thp instigation of tie Qovernmeni, pieced itself to the Bank of fiFey Zealand.' This year the Govownnonfi to lmvo brought down a suitably measure of relief as a Ministerial action, by which it would stand or falj; more especially as, in the interim, i-hs Colonial Treasurer gave certain assurances to Loijd.on shareholders which ate now being yiolaH, We regret the setting up of the Parliamentary Committee, and we regret its complicated report, but the issue at stake r to tlwppds of our : follow colonists is sq momentous %fc this is more a time for expressing; sympathy than -for idle criticism. I# OJjy ,:ase, much loss and suffering ajttejujte the pre-: sent crisis. Many may' jip straightened circumstances, whose little savings have been invested in Bank of New Zealand shares, now realises that they are ft millstone rouud his neck. As far as wo can now judge, Parliament is protecting and will protect the note issue of the Bank and tb,o money of depositors, but the ultimate cost of this protection will fall on the shareholders, whose losses, in any case, must be very heavy.

Wk understand that Bank of New Zealand nptes fffv tlie time being are a legal tender, £o Bsy ( tbafc the holders pf jfchem cannot insist on gold in exchange for them at this office of tho Bank, and that the public cannot refuse them when tendered in liquidation of debts. The position is a curious one which is likely to give rise to some misconception and it would have been as well if tbo Government bad | defined it a little more clearly, Still, at this juncture, the Govcrnmbnt has its hands full and may be excused. [The further question may be asked, " yhp.yvi)] guarantee the notes after Sopjember 2nd," but to this we can make no reply 'other than to express a hope that the trouble will be over by that time, aud the notes will no longer require an endorsement,
