A MISTAKEN IDEA.

England Cannot BE Held Responsible for
India's Action Concerning Silver.
The position occupied by certain
prominent silverites, populists and
leading reform journals that the recent
action taken by India in relation to
silver is a conspiracy on the part of
England and criminal collision in or
der to allow Mr.. Cleveland to call con-
gress together and repeal the Sherman
law, is absurd, unsound and altogether
untenable.
1t would be much nearer the truth to
say that midas action was caused by
the unfriendly attitude toward silver
manifested by our present gold-bug
administration.
The extent to which England can be
held liable for India's action is the de-
gree of activity, if not culpable crimi-
nality displayed by her in procuring
the demonstration of silver by Ger
many, the United States and Austria
and her subsequent persistent refusal
TO join in an international agreement
