Our North American possessions claim for
hemselves the rank and dignities of an independent
nation. They bestow allegiance upon us as a favour.
And yet, strange to say, they have not supplied
themselves with a national currency. They have
made no more provision for industry, trade, or
commerce, than the natives of the Cannibal
Islands. British gold, and American notes, taken
at all imaginable barter rates of premium and
discount, supply our American Colonies with their
" available means." After we take leave of the
circle of nominalities which binds them to the
Mother Country, they ceased to be an integral por.
tion of the British Empire, and they exhibit no
trace of independence or one of the elements of a
self-sustaining nationality. We have made no
provision for their money wants as a part and
parcel of the Imperial family, and they have made
none for themselves. They have a few colonial
banks and bankers who supply them with any
amount of money they please, and at any rate of
discount they may think proper to ask. The old
Colonists are, consequently, impoverished. and the
