for the reason OF thls curious gold
problem or India apparently one has
not far TO seek. Until the English
went to India the country was swept
repeatedly by invasions and conquests.
Each newcomer was bent chiefly on
plumber, but If he decided to remain
he set up a government In which all
life and property were his sole and
undisputed possession The only rights
the conquered Hindus possessed were
those he chose to grant. These con-
sisted principally in providing the con-
oueror with snlendid nalaces Jewels
