The British Crown
Sir, —Now that we have an all-power-ful Reserve Bank that is, we are led to understand, nothing more nor less than a Crown bank, why do not you sovereign people demand silver crowns and an issue of Crown bills to the full extent of your requirements? The writer, from considerable personal experience, knows the convenience of U.S.A, dollar bills and silver dollars as wherewithal for obtaining goods. English currency in the same handy form, that is, five-shilling pieces and five-shilling greenbacks, the writer is confident, would sure be a boon to you Britons of the south. Indeed, why not make the crown the New Zealand standard? The pound lias become a nebulous buy-word at the hands of the world’s Midas merchants, but the British Crown may be relied on always to deliver the goods. Is not the Empire’s finest travelling salesman a member of your Royal family? Well, now, how about a whale of aii order for British crowns?—l am, etc.. A CONNECTICUT YANKEE. Wellington, N Z., February 2.
