It is a truism to say 45 Moy the Canadian banks have played "a vital part in the esonomic development of the country, The stability of the Canadian banking sys- tem has seen Canada through many finanetal crises; and while there may be room for a difference of opinion as to whether the system encourages local enterprise as, let us say, the American system does, I do not think that anyone will deny that the Canadian banks have' played a in "building up Canada." er, the place of the Such, however, has not the case. In the years the Rebellion of 1837, the Upper "Canada ay Zouif the bank owed its charter to a deliberate and cold- tant idea of appropriating the charter to themselves. A few trifling changes were made in the bill; among other things the names of 'a number of members of the Family Compact were substituted for the names of the party ners in the Kingston bank. sult, the Kingston bank found itself not 'only cheated of its charter, but forced to face what was really. the competition 'of a government bank at the provincial capital, Under these circumstances, it was inevitable that the Bank of Upper Canada should have. come in for a good deal of the gathering at that time about e- financial nie 8 of the ruling tlass, gE A similar situation proved in ;| Nova Scotia. = There the board of directors of the Halifax Banking ir A innovated recently by CR Gok, when he brought several furs from the Hudson's Bay es of Showin iti N.S.--The Nove .
