OUR GREENBACK FACTORY

One Of the most interesting
sights at the national capital to
the hundreds of thousands of
strangers who yearly visit Wash.
lngton is the bureau of engraving
and printing, where the govern
ment turns out immense amounts
of the paper money which we daily
see in circulation.
Much of this paper money
greenbacks and gold and silver
certificates is issued directly by
the government itself while the
remainder is prepared for issue
by the national banks throughout
the country. These issues are
printed from engraved steel
plates of The finest workmanship
on peculiar distinctive paper,
which, is it said, counterfeiters
have never yet been able TO initiate.
This establishment also produces
government b Jnds whenever there
is call for such. In addition
postage stamps are manufactured
there in vast quantities, recently
at the rate of 100000 a day or
about 100, 100000 per wear. This
aggregate. bids fair to increase
annually and in time to reach huge
proportions.
While tile products of the
bureau are interesting the
mr. cnanical devices employed by it
are most ingenious, comprising
many automatic machines of
wonderful efficiency. The utmost
vigilance is exercised in guarding
the products of the bureau, and
everything procee DIS
there in the most systematic and
efficient manner.-Leslie's.

INDIA IS DRAINING
WORLD OF GOLD

Moreton Frewen, M. p. recently
gave to the London correspondent
of the. New York Times an interest
ing Intervene on the question Of the
great drain Of gold to India which
is going on, and which he desert
bed as a matter of the verv first
Importance to America.
The position is this" said MIR.
Frewen. "The government of
India in 1910 imposed duty of g.
cents an ounce on all silver bullion
imported into India. The impor-
tation Of silver previously for some
years averaged 80. 100000 to 80,
0O0, 600 ounces annually. The
result Of this. high silver duty
seemed to discourage Importation,
and the boarding of silver by
natives. and to throw the whole
demand. of India for. boarding
purposes upon the other metal
gold.
The position is one of great and
growing danger. The drain of
gold to India at the present time
threatening the, most serious
consequences in the money markets
of the western world. Whereas the
importation of gold into India
before the new high silver, duties
didn't exceed, one year with
another. 1000, coo pounds and for
the first eleven weeks of this year
as at the rate of nearly a million
sovereigns a week. .sE .r
"The government r at Calcutta.
has now applied to the secretary
of state for india for permission to
commence the coinage i'm india
of l0-rupee gold pieces, thus
offering to natives, through the
innumerable bazaars throughout
India, a means of boarding in the
most convenient form. Such mint
age would make gold, for the
purposes IF boarding. accessible to
300,0OO,0OC people. -t
Should the government consent
to this proposal the hemorrage of
our gold to India would further
threaten western finance. 1t
seems to me of the very first
remonstrance on the part of the
great western financial centers
should be addressed to the govern
men there.
1.-THE present movement Of gold
to India is Oh such a scale that
when the gold required for arts
and manufactures has been
deducted, comparatively little of
the present immense supply of
gold from the mines is left for
American or European currencies.
We shall revert to conditions in
the $685."
Mr.. Frewen on being asked
what steps it was proposed to take
in view of the serious situation
thus foreshadowed, said that prob
ably deputation would wait IN
the secretary of state for India
during the next few days, and it
was hoped, that Arthur Balfour
would head the deputation.
"The preoccupations Of the
public mind at the present moment
are such that it will be no easy
task to organize an effective depu-
tation. What is required is q roya
commission to report on the whole
subject of the Indina currency
muddle. -.
"The present action of tho gov
eminent Of India has discouraged
the importation Gof silver, and,
thereby weakens exchange with
China. On the other hand, it must,
throw an increasing strain upon
the Bank of England and other
western gold reserves, by expelling
gold so greatly as to imperil that
universal gold standard now
obtaining in the Occident. The
