invest their capital; in order to effect
this we must represent to them the adj

practically substantiate our representa-

and facts relevant to the matter and de-
termine the extent and nature of the
inducements that We can offer to home
and foreign capitalistsato invest their
money with us, and then employ all
legitimate means, to throw ont these in

may be accomplished, some money will
