IMPERIALISM IN INDIA.

There are $4,000 Englishmen in In
dia holding official positions and draw
ing salaries amounting to els, ,OOO, 600
a year! The natives of India have no
control whatsoever in any shape or
form over their own taxation; they
have no voice in the expenditure of
the taxes they pay. The taxation OF
the land is so heavy that farms are
rapidly going out OF cultivation. In
the central provinces the land tax is
one-half of the produce of the land.
Under the native rule in the years
when the land lies fallow it is taxed
one-eighth. In the British provinces
fallow-land is taxed to the full. The
net revenue of India to-day ia eel, ,OOO,.
600. OF this amount 925, 900 900 is
raised by the land tax. Salt, which is
necessary of life for the people and
their cattle, is taxed 1000 per cent. on
the value of salt. Half of the total
net revenue of India is drained out of
the country. A yearly sum of $780,
OOO,OOO is taken by England from the
peasantry of India, and nothing is
given in return. Eleven hundred re.
tired colonels draw over a million a
year in pensions from the Indian rev.
enue. The people of India are the
poorest peasantry in the world. The
average income per head is less than
I'd day. Since the great famine of
1861, England has distracted $780,
OOO,OOO from India, and this has pre-
vented the development of the re-
sources of the country. Hence the
famine. India is practically in a state
of bankruptcy, caused by the drain OF
its wealth to England. In the best
seasons the peasantry have only
enough to barely support life. In the
province of Madras they are always
pauper peasants. 1t should
be remembered that 150, 900 900 of the
population OF India are dependent on
agriculture.
