Millions Hidden Observation-Disclosures of

PARIS Of the Courier dss Flats Unit
About fifty milliards Of francs is said TO be the
total amount Of the gold product Of the two worlds
since the discovery Of America. And, strange TO
say, Of this outpouring Of gold which during four
centuries has been scattered all the world
an immense portion remains idle in India where
IL has been embedded In India the gold returns
TO the earth and romans there more completely
hidden than IL was in its original state
The amount of gold brought into India during
the past sixty years that is to say, from 1887 TO
1898 is greater by three miliards nine hundred and
and forty-three millions Of francs than the amount
exported. The soil of India absorbs the foods of
gold Just the sand of the deserts swallows the

and. consequently is lost II Is absurd to say
that II Is brought into monetary circulation
that il passes through the hands Of the native
goldsmiths II is disseminated in innumerable
hiding places from which IL never energies
In ancient times and up TO the period OF the
conquest and occupation by the English, indi
vidual property was not protected The country
from one end to the other was the prey Of rival
factions who ravaged II ceaselessly and without

To escape from the general robbery the natives,
great and small, carefully concealed their money
and their values under ground This inveterate
