you take large district into view. And therefore,
according to Bishop Heber and other British WRITER'S
millions Of people die in India annually from OPP
preston and fannne Some men nave sald-wnetn-
er truly or not cannot tell-that the population OF
that country has diminished by thirty million since
Great Britain got control OF it But this much is
certain: few years ago. the British Government
sent commission to India to examine into its con-
diton and it reported that to collect taxes torture
was applied to the tenants, and that hundreds of
thousands Of men and women die annually under
these tortures, because they do not pay up their
small rents.
Now, will do Englishmen the Justice to say, that
: in my Judgment they cannot approve of any such
thing. l am satisfied that the Government itself
does not sanction it. That country is governed by
the East India Company great fllibustering
company chartered to acquire territory for the
British Government, and retained for that purpose.
