Colonialism: "To set up the British idea and British
administration over all this new area is bound to
yield handsome returns in commerce and finance ....
It is no mean advantage to our traders to discover in
Ashanti a new market which, if properly organized,
should take within a few years probably from two or
three million pounds' worth of British produce each year.
Moreover, in thus setting up strongly and definitively
the Queen's peace over this great native area, in place
of the degrading, demoralising and pauperising regime
hitherto dominant, we shall be bringing to perhaps four
to five millions of natives all the advantages of peaceful
industry and commerce and the high principles of order and
justice and goodwill for all men - which are, after all,
the guiding principles taught by our firm national religion."
