·Publio Anction,

In the year 1803 the Government of India legislated and Luked the rupes to 16d. gold nuit. If the Government of India had shown qual courage in the execution of the measure so they had in carrying it, the rupes would have been saved four years of further tribulations, [1174 But surprised and almost frightened at the mogaitude of the measure, they behaved like the celebrated Pench's boy who tried" No Popery" and ran away. Perhaps it was not their fault. The Government of India are not an autocratic entity. They have other autocrats over them. Anyhow all the capital brought to this country by the planters before the Currency Act of 1893 was at an exchange of over 181. When any one intends to transfer his capital to another country for investment in land, he makes a close, ciremmstantial and rerrospective calculation for a fair return for his risk. He knows the value of the land he is about to parchase, and the orat of the labour for clearing it. He bages
