26 HISTORY OF THE BANKThough Mr. McMaster had devoted much energy toorganizing the business of The Canadian Bank of Commerce,his main activities during the first four years of its existencewere concerned with legislation at Ottawa private billsaffecting his own institution and general measures affecting allchartered banks. He had been called to the first Senate ofCanada in 1867 and was therefore in a position to watch andinfluence developments. Though a strong Liberal in politics,he was ready to co-operate with those of the opposite partyin his efforts to place banking on a sound and permanent basis.During the early years ofConfederation, banking legislationfrequently called for the presence at Ottawa of representativesof all the leading banking institutions in the four provincesof the new Dominion, which at that time contained no lessthan twenty-eight chartered banks. The letters which SenatorMcMaster wrote from the capital to his directors, almost dailyduring this period, reflect the play and counter-play of thepolitical situation upon important questions of financial policy,and the difficulties that the founders of The Canadian Bankof Commerce had to face.At the time when The Canadian Bank of Commercecame into being, the Minister of Finance was the Hon. WilliamP. Rowland, 1 who must not be confused with his brother, Mr.H. S. Howland, vice-president of the new bank, who laterbecame president of the Imperial Bank of Canada. The Hon.W. P. Howland took office after the resignation of the Hon.A. T. Gait in 1866, but made no attempt at financial innovations.On the formation of the first Government after'Later Sir William Pearce Howland, K.C.M.G. (1811-1907). He was born inPaulings, N.Y., and came to Canada in 1830. He was for a time engaged in millingat Lambton Mills, Ont, but soon entered the wholesale grocery business in Toronto.Entering Parliament in 1857, he held office from 1862 to 1868 in various capacities insuccessive administrations. He was one of the delegates to the London ColonialConference to complete the terms of union between the provinces of British NorthAmerica. He was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario in 1868 and wasknighted in 1879. He was president of the Ontario Bank and of the Toronto Boardof Trade.
THE CHARTER 27Confederation, Mr. Rowland took the post of Minister ofInland Revenue, Mr. Gait again becoming Minister of Finance.In October, 1867, just five months after The CanadianBank of Commerce had begun business, came the final scenein the tragedyof the Commercial Bank. At the annualmeeting in June, 1867, it was proposed to write off part of itscapital. New directors took charge, and auditors wereappointed to investigate and report on the bank's position,but their report failed to reassure the public. The depositorsbecame uneasy and the unrest culminated in a run. Assistancewas secured from the Bank of Montreal, but a few weeks laterthe run started again. The Hon. Alexander T. Gait, Ministerof Finance, was at this period one of the bank's directors, soapplication was made to the Dominion Government to cometo the bank's assistance. This was refused, and a subsequentapplication to the other banks in Montreal meeting a likefate, the Commercial Bank suspended payment on October22. Great excitement prevailed in Toronto over the event,much more than in the case of the Bank of Upper Canada,and runs took place on several of the banks, which were onlyallayed when the Dominion Government announced itswillingness to accept the notes of all the banks stilldoingbusiness. The rumours regarding the Commercial Bank andthe unsettlement of the public mind that they produced wereamong the difficulties with which The Canadian Bank ofCommerce had to contend at the outset, giving the managementmany moments of deep anxiety and causing it to putforth every effort to maintain strong cash reserves, lest thedistrust should spread to the infant institution under its charge.The failure of the Commercial Bank was an honourableone. Its affairs were found in much better shape than thoseof the Bank of Upper Canada, and it was recognized that ifgiven time the liabilities could be paid in full.Finally, earlyin 1868, arrangements were concluded with the MerchantsBank of Canada to take over its assets and issue to its shareholdersshares in the Merchants Bank in exchange for shares
