THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND ITS CORRENOY.--A
correspondent, signing himself " Firectrade," in a letter
---
to the Times, says :" Permit me to defend the East
India Company from the condemnation which you have
passel on its currency measures in your money-market
article of to-day. You condemn the co mpany for refusing
to imitate the example of the United States, which has
substituted a gold for a silver currency. The fact is that
those Governments of the United States which profess to
pay the interest on their debts practically cont;scate
9i per cent. of such interest, 80 great is the differ once
between the real and nominal value of the American g 'old
eagle. Our early kings debased the coin. In more 12 to-
dern times the same fraud has been committed by ovor-
issues of bank notes. The substitution of one currency
for another of less value is equally fraudulent. We pro-
mise t.) 1 ay in silver, and we break that promise, whether
i
we pay iu debased silver, n inconvertible paper, or in a
differeet metal of less value. The East India Company
has no wish to provoke a mutiny in its native army. The
native money-changers would immediately take advan-
tage of any change in the currency, and assist in accele-
rating the rise in the value of silver. The issue of
debased silver tokens would fill the Supoy's mind with
distrust, and imperil the security of our empire."
