GOLD STANDARD IN INDIA.

The single gold standard, now one
OF the slogans of the Hanna party in
this nation, has cursed the masses of
the people in every country across
which 1t has trailed its serpent form.
Nine-tenths of the people of England
are opposed to it because it makes the
dollar dear and the products of labor
cheap.i Its whitening curse now rests

'1ndia- Mr.. H. M. Hyndman, an En-
gllshman living in London and we'll
posted on Indian affairs, in a recent ar
tlcle In the New York Journal. charges
the AWFUL famine now raging in India.
70 the greed and misgovernment of the
BRUSH, and his article shows that
much OF the suffering and woe of the
people is due to fastening on their
necks the odious single gold standard.
MI Hyndman plainly says: 1--WE de-
nDerately manufacture famines in In
ola, and that nothing that the Ro-
mans ever did at the height of their
power; no injustice which the Spar
lardS ever inflicted upon Mexico and
South America, was so horrible in its
consequences to the subject population
as that which we English are doing in
British India today" The average in
come per head of all British India is
admitted to be $3.50 in gold. or $3.50 a
year for a family of five. This meagre
income In the best years keeps the
people on the verge of starvation. out
OF this starving population Great Brit
ain squeezes $780, 900 a year in the
way of taxation. The land revenues
are collected before the crops are gath
cred and must be paid in gold. and
hence the people must resort to the
money lender to whom they pay ex-
orDitant rates of interest. Thus they
are Kept always at the starvation point
through the gold standard which has
taken away their silver rupees. and
when there is failure of crops. gaunt
famine stalks abroad in the land and
human beings starve by the million. An
this time breadstuffs are shipped ont
or India that would keen the people
from starving if they had money with
which to buy it. The single gold stan
dard is all very we'll for the plutocrats
but 1t is death to the masses.

A young lawyer in this city has made
frequent attempts to tell a story of his
fathers experience, and each time
someone has accused him Of repeating
a humorous story which is still max
ing the rounds of the newspapers. His
father is minister. Some years ago
he went to a New England town to
preach a sermon. He was a stranger
to the congregation. There were the
usual notices on his desk for him to
read to the congregation. Among them
was a funeral notice When the min

l might devise a code regulating the
matter which my friend or neighbor
might not be at all satisfied with It
would be either too lax or too strin-
gent. Say what we will and deplore il
as we may, the tendency of thought
and action in this present age is to re-
gard and treat the marriage tie much
like any contract entered into by con-
sent of parties-dissoluble at the Will
of the contracting persons
Personally, am positively opposed to
such tendency. but recognize its ex-
tstence. If I had not better reason for
my opposition than the deep interest
that ali society has in the children of
marriages. it would be enough. That
result of marriage tends so inextrica-
bly, into every relation of human life
as to forbid consent to such a doctrine
in tones that nothing can resist. We
must never drop below the doctrine
that the contract of marriage is one
OF public concern, that shall never be
dissolved except by consent of the pub
lie, through its organized tribunals, and
for causes that the public shall deem
to be safe and not opposed to the gem
eral welfare.
Montaigne, l believe it was, said
that the more the marriage knot is
frightened by taking away all means
of dissolving it, the more the bonds
of the will and affection are loosened.
And this argument is often heard now
adays. But it has only the force of
most epigrammatic sentences-that of
sounding well. Take from it the refer
ence to means of dissolution and moth
ing having less merit can be said on

temptation of the tender pledge, in an

marriage knot, bind and strengthen the

LITERARY NOTE.

Prairie Flowers and Meadow Grasses
by Idael Makeever of Stromsburg
Nebraska. THE CONSERVATIVE has re-
ceived a copy Of "Prairie Flowers and
Meadow Grasses and returns thanks to
the author for the attractively bound
volume.
This collection of poems, sonnets and
dlalect verse and prose was written by
one who, possessing a true love of
nature, vivid imagination, and having
good thought and high aims, should
improve, beautify, and perfect her style
by giving careful, painstaking attention
to poetical rules and by pursuing a
broad, enriching study of the best
literature.
