that home rule should be granted to Scot

the English Liberals would lose the noble
liberalism of Scotland in other words,
that If the Scotch mcmbcrs are taken out
OF the imperial Parliament the English
Liberals would be apt to find themselves
in the minority But that is not our idea.
We wish that Scottish members should he

imperial matters alone, and not TO inter

we presume the Euglishmun knows best

Trustworthy estimates show that more

invested in this country in railways, mines,
real estate and trade, but not a single bank
exists here having a dollar Of American
capital, although there Is a large amount
Of business done direct with New York.
Every year the amount Of exchange bust.
ness on New York grows in volume, and
as the tourist travel increases there must
be profitable business In this line also.
II Is the consideration Of these points
which has led to the formation Of the syn.

purpose Of establishing bank here.
