Of course that is largely academical, and the writer scarcely gets beyoud that stage when he says that, "To such old-world objections, and there are many of them, there must be added the arguments of the interested. There are the old-fashioned bankers who hitherto have pretty well monopolized the financial profits of native trade. If the new system is to cut at the root of their gains, then it is but natural for them to kick, and kick hard, against change. If there are a good many Shansi men, bankers by birth, bankere by descent from other bankers for generations, we need not be surprised if they. strenuously oppose everything tending, as they may now think, to their detriment. But we do not anticipate that such opposi- tion will be of very long continuance in their case, for the simple reason that they are possessed of sufficient insight into the true nature of things to discern that in the end the new system will mean as great a total of profit as the old by reason, for one thing... of the great amount of business that will be done."
