umbering system was called in question.
Furthermore, the immediate re- sult of India going on the gold standard was the gaming of enor mots quantities of Indian surplus ilver on the market, an example which was quickly followed by Indo-China, France, and, in R lesser degree, by other countries. The Tadian peasants, whose avings have been in silver, have thus became improverished, and our business is affected by their dim- inished purchasing power.
The same is true of many other silver- using countries.
The Indian troubles are. I dare tony, very largely due to this one silver factor, and the drop in the general export business to China can also be laid at the same door.
I cannot impress upon you too strongly that silver and its fair treatment is not only a matter of very great importance to you as stockholders in this company, bat is of vital interest to you as British subjects.
