tion, it reported to have said that the currency legislation of 1893 is one of the greatest and the most beneficial acts of State of the last half century i

and the benefits conforred by it dut- weigh by far and away any harm that may have been caused by it. The Currency Act has established the equity, the equilibrium, and the fixity between creditors and debtors, between producers and consumers, between wages givers and wages receivers, hetween employers of all kinds and cumployds of all kinds, including Government railways and private, and-between capital and labour. For what is money, but a measure of value for commodities and for labour. Any Government worthy of its name of a civilized and comtner cial country, ought to keep its measures of value fixed and castant in relation to the measures of the great and commercial nations of the world; and the transfer and re-transfor of capital from one country to another ought to cost no more than the freight and insurance The measure of the world is the pound sterling, equal to 20 shillings or 240 pence. All the Et their mecca one of the world have

their measures fixed and constant in relation to the pound sterling. But who are the out-and-out opponents of Currency Legis lation? They are the tea and coffee planters and to a certain extent the indigo planters, the, agents of the spinning mills who charge com mission on production, and a hotch-potch of these "the Indian Currency League," And lastly, His Majesty's opposition to the Govern. ment of India, the indian Congress. Take the tea plasters. They brought their sterling capital for investment in land in India. Their retums are in sterling and they export all their tea to sterling or gold currency countries, Up to 1871-71 they brought, out their capital at the conventional rate of 24d.or they bought their rupees at 244. each. If in that year the Govern Latin Unda had followed the lead of the

Union and closed the minta to silver, no one could have complained. The rupee would have remained 24d, and ludia would have been saved the tribulations of a quarter of a century. For in the modern history of trade up to 1872 the rupee was 24d. and no one had conceived it could be anything else. But the Government did not follow the lead, and the rupee continuously declined in relation to gold, until the average rate of the year 1891- 91 was 16fd. The average of the years 1875 72 to 1891-97 was 19jdi

on abig scale, and to extend his operations to the Tawaling and Philippine Islands. A move in this direction has been made by the selection of Mr. M. C. Markham, formerly traffic man. ager of Illinois Central Railroad, to be traffic mannger of the Oriental Steamship Company.

Mr. Markham is one of the best known traffic men in the country, and his writings and argu- sion upon nearly every knotty traffic problem ments before the Interstate Commerce Commis- have been widely quoted. He left for San Francisco to-day, and will sail next Wednes day on the Siberia. During his absence le will visit the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, and tour Japan, China and India and other Asiatic countries, with a view to ascertaining the conditions und making preparations to returns the new traffic manager will probably secure Oriental traffic for Hill lines. Before he enter into many important traffic contracts, for every effort is to be made to secure full lands for Hill's mammoth ships on their first return trips from the Orient.

When any one intends to transfer to another country for investment in land, he makes a close circumstantial and retrospective calcula- tion for a fair return for his risk. He knows

He bases it at the exchange rale of the day He, calculates on the basis of exchange the annual cost of the sow- ing, reaping and preparing the produce for the market. Perhaps he puts the rate a little higher for margin. All his calculations, there fore, must have been based on a higher rate of exchange than ind; for the average rate be tween 1871-72 and 1891-9: was over 191d. If hic bas anything to complain of it is for not fixing a higher rate by Legislation. If he has anything to deplore, it is the weakness of the Government for allowing its measure of valu to depreciate, which made it impossible for him to re-transfer his capital without loss of bulk, Why does he then wish the rupee to go down to its silver value? It is to redress the failure of his calculations; to redress the dis- inclination of the other countries of the world to buy his wares; and to redress the low prices of over-praduction-all at the expense of the poor coolic.

The other opponents to the Currency Legis lation are the Cotton Mill Agents who charge a commission of three pies on production of a pound of yarn. They have not even some of the redeeming features of the planters. For if the planters ask to despoil the conlies, it is for the benefit of the whole body of tea-shareholders. But the Mill-Agents ask to despoil them for themselves alone. The commission of 3 pies on every pound of the gross production is equi- valent to close upon to per cent. of its capital and making allowance for depreciation and reserve funds, a Cotton Mill in Bombay has to earn nearly a 23 or 33 per cent, on its capital to enable it to give a return to the shareholders of 6 or 7 per cent.

Bat the rupee appreciated? In 1872 it mea sured 24d., 2 francs, 2 marks and so cents of the United States dollar. In 1903 it measured 16d., 1 francs, and 33 cents. This is not appreciation. Is the rupee fictitious? If it is fictitious with silver in it of the price of 43d.

COTTON MILL INDUSTRY.

The condition of the Mill industry of Bombay is again causing anxiety. At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held in Bombay last month, the Honourable Mr. Moses appear, to have given a very deplorable account of some of the Bombay mills. He is reported to have said that ten mills ware previously sold at one-third of their value that 11 more were on the verge of bankruptcy and rain, that a mills costing over ten lakhs of rupees were recently sold to some English tourists for the Delhi Durbar at two and-a-half lakhs, and, that debenture, holders of certain mlila cannot get more than go per cont of their face values. The remedy for this deplorable state of affairs aro, in his opinion, the adoption of a gold standard of currency in China and the abolition by the Indian Government of export duty on cloth not competing with Manchesters!
