tive. He asks for unlimited
power in the way of funding the paper
currency. and he asks that snsplus
commencing at ten millions and gradu=
ally increasing TO forty millions may
be entrusted to the Government for the
time being. That such things should
be asked for is surprising, but if the
representatives of tax payers are found
willing togrant them we may be well
astonished, Inn. go -.
