TINES TALKS OF SILVER.
Reviews the Effect of Closing tn,
Indian MINIS.
SAYS ACTION WAS JUSTIFIED.
london Paper Arrives at the Conclusion
That Nothing Can lie Done for the
Whiae Metal-Parlsians Arc Angry
with Prince Henri.

London, Aug. 1S.-The Times pub
viewing the effects of closing the Indian
minis in connection with the visit OF
the American bimetallic commission.
1t says:
The closing of the minis was justi-
fled. and all that is now needed to bring
a great experiment to a successful end
ing is little courage and patience, as
well as resources. on the part Of the
financiers of the Indian empire. At the
same time plain and straightfo ward
language is advisable upon one point.
The Indian statesmen tempered too
long with bimetallism. This Irritation,
which seems so innocent and innocu-
Gus. has already cost them dear. But
for that the government would have as
sented to the closing of the minis long
before 1888"
The article comments on the Char
acteristic crudeness and boldness OF
American diplomacy in sending BIZ
metallic commission TO ask for the re-
opening Of the Indian minis, while at
the same time dealing the worst posi-
bic blow at British commerce by pass
ing the Dingley tariff" and adds:
'One thing is certain. We would be
very foolish to do anything for silver.
Even should the United States and
France agree to adopt bimetallism and
England to reopen the India minis, it
would only bolster up silver for q brie;
space. to fall again to its proper mar
ket prices: so that Indian finances
would be in a position as bad as be-
fore, If not worse than before"
