INDIA FINANCE INVESTIGATION

We are in receipt of the second
volume Of evidence taken of the
royal commission appointed to in
vestigate the finance AID currency
of India, and their possible effect
on British finance. 1t is q ponder.
Gus document of 160 odd pages,
with ove 5000 words to the page.
A great deal of the space is taken
up by the statement of Mr.. Morton
Frewen before the commission. II
is, of course, too long TO publish
in anything less than a book, but
it is most fascinating reading and
a lasting pity that it cannot be
placed in the hands Of every man
in England and the United States.
1t covers the whole history of the
overthrow of bimetallism; it sup
plies the proof of every charge
made in the past, regarding its over
throw and the loss which followed,
and holds up most wildly the dan
ger to English finances if the pres
ent policy is continued. We trust
that President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are watching the progress
of this investigation which is going
On in England.
If the Democracy desires a long
continuance of power the chiefs of
the party should all be watching
this Investigation, for it Is in that
direction that their best hope lies.
There is but one way through
which exchanges can again be
equalized and trade resume its
sway through natural channels.
Mr.. Frewen points out the was
and it is clear that England now
wants a new adjustment. Really,
our country needs it more than
any other, for in point of fact the
export trade of our country tc
more than half the inhabitants Of
the earth is practically killed, and
the same law that killed it, by its
terms opens u country to the i'm
ports of those people on terms
which America w%orkingmen who
clothe and feed and educate their
Children v can compete against.
The story of the demonstration
of silver is the history of the most
stupendous crime ever perpetrated
since the tradegy on Calvary.
There was no call for it save by
a few money sharks in London
and New York. The first thing
was by a sneak to push a bill
through congress which in terms
demonetized silver.
Then a twenty yesrs fight began.
The thieves on this side engaged a
powerful press and hired gifted
writer's and speakers TO press their
ause. They looked on and laugh
ed while property fell so per cent
in value measured in gold and mil
lions of men were ruined.
At last when the final trial came,
to help our thieves, England was
induced by the other thieves ip
London to close the minis in Indie
and then they looked on and saw
100000 people there. men, wo-
men and little children, die Of star
walton because they could no longer
convert their boarded silver into
rupees, looked on and laughed.
Since then they have gathered t.
themselves, millions, tens and hun
dreds of millions Of gold but they
are not real happy. India is draw
ing their gold away and absorbing
to a fearful extent, while on thi.
side. though the production of gold
has increased five fold annually,
trade Is everywhere disturbed, the
exchanges are all out of joint, there
is confusion and doubt in the bust.
