TIE OF ENGLASD,s EXPERT
MENT WITH SILVER.

Inc course which silver has pursued
under the treatment of the Anglo-Indion
government is very interesting. In June
last the Indian minis were closed TO
private coinage and the silver rupee the
true value of which is AS cents, was fixed
Tor the purpose or government transac
tons at Is. 4d.-32 cents This was
depreciation OF 10 cents on the rilpee and
1t was supposed that this action of the
eovernm, mt would steady the coin NJ
that value. This was not an unreasono-
BILE expectation. The experience of tho
world has been that IL IS quite possible
TO maintain deprecated currency at
stable value IL the bulk Of 1t is not
too great. and a limit on the amount Of
II Is fixed. Nations have many times
done this. and the United States is to-
day keeping $500 100000 OF silver dol
lars worth little moro than fifty cents
on tho dollar. at par This is because
tho government that treats the coin in
all its transactions as the equivalent of
a gold dollar. and has not allowed their
quantity TO exceed its ability to so treat
them
Tho Anglo-fndian government took an
other extraordinary step that it was sup-
posed would aid the influence in the WAY
of supporting the value Of the rupcc
anticipated from the closin, of the In.
dian minis 10 private coinage. India
pays TO England annually some 500 o0O.-
900 In gold as interest on Indian oblica-
tons held In England for money adj
vanced TO build midas railroads. This
money Is usually brought TO England by
saie In London OF bills of exchange on
India. called Council bills. which are
drawn payable in silver rupees. The
Indian Council in London sells these in
the open market for the gold value OF |
silver TO persons having debts TO pay in |
India. When the Indian minis were |
closed the Indian Council in London fixed |
the minimum price at which IL would |!
sen these bills at Is. Al. the rupee-32 |
een's-but II has never yet been able 10
sell any at this price. 1t obtained au-
thority from Parliament to borrow no.
100000 as = means OF tiding over what
was supposed to be the period during
which IT would be unable to sell bills for
the minimum price that II had fixed.
bur. though II has borrowed fa.50o. 900
OF this sum- the silver rupee has con-
tinusd to decline steadily until 4, Is worth
to-day only II. I'd. or IS cents. and the
Indian Council Is now selling bills at
