1905. CREDIT, Destroyed.—[further continued].
Desperate of finding relief
from a free course of justice, I look forward
to the abolition of all credit as the only other remedy which can take place. I have
seen, therefore, with pleasure, the exaggerations
of our want of faith with which the
London papers teem. It is, indeed, a strong
medicine for sensible minds, but it is a medicine.
It will prevent their crediting us
abroad, in which case we cannot be credited
at home.—
