of an undoubted socurily. This affords & practi- REAL PANAMAS! cal illuste tion of the sorry plight in which onr mill Industry is at the present moment. Whilst placing the trade of India with the West upon a firm footing (although the agricultural classes and planters of indigo, tes, &c., are still labour- ing under the disadvantage of high exchange) our Government should now direct their attention. to our trade with the Far East, and not allow our once flourishing industry to fall into decay, especially as the remedy to a certain extent hes in their power. (Applause.) I should respect fully urge them to throughly investigate the situation and come to our help.
i
TWO WAYS OF AFFORDING RELIEF. There are is my humble opinion two ways of affording relief. The eno is, the abolition of the excise duty on our manufactured goods which time bas proved do not enter into com polition with Manchester goods. Even if they did, it is to such an infinitesimal degree that I am sure eren our Lancashire friends will not grudge the removal of the impost. I would therefore suggest ita immediate repeal as it is in direct contravention of the doctrine an- unciated by H. E. the Viceroy in his memorable speech
at the opening of the Art Exhibition at Delhi, when he said that Indian act and mand- facture should be encouinged and supported The other relief seems difficult at first, but could be overcome in time; it is that our Government should interest itself for its own sake being large creditors of Chios), as well as for the interests of their own subjects and of these of the Celestial Empire, in the adoption of a gold standard in Chins. Nearly all civilised countries have adopted it, and it will short- ly be introrlaced both in the Philippines and the Straits Settlements. Why, then, should China continue its currebey in that depraved. metal which is continually declining in velas and is an element of uncertainty and a stawiing menane to trade?
NUCLEUS FOR A GOLD STANDARD.
In his evidence the plaintiff stated that in June, 1900, in Vladivostook he met Mr. Lakser, who represented himself to be an agent of the American Trading Company and who, happen ing to be coming to Shanghai sbout that time, offered to do some business for the plaintif Plaintiff gave Lakeer instructions to order goods to the value of about Roubles 300,000 and provided him with £6,000 sterling to pay 20 per cent, of the cost, the balance to be paid on the delivery of the goods. Plaintiff received a bill from the defendants but no signed invoices, through them. from the firma from whom the goods originally came, though he asked for such frequently. About August 1901, plaintiff came to Shanghai himself and was rendered account which totallod to Roubles 383,782.92, including insursues, patties, ex. change and commission at the rate of 5%. In consequence of a complaint from him as to this commission a rebate of Roubles 6.000 was made [1219 to him during this stay in Shanghai. Plaintiff also produced in Court a receipt for goods be. longing to him stered in the American Trading Company's godown at Vladivostock, and sold, as he alleged, by Mr. Taylor, the Company's agout there, without any instructions from him: the owner, or his agent. By that sale plaintiff stimated his loss at Roubles 4,410. He far ther maintained that he had been overcharged to the extent of 10 per cent, on the gooda par- chased for him, that he was overcharged on
