THE SILVER CRISIS.
The India Council Realize the
Mistakes in June.
BIMETALLISM LOOMS UP.
Bearing of the Indian Crisis
Upon the Future Finance
of the Country.
Th* following article, taken fro® th*
Maw Orleana Time»-Demoorat, i« the
ablest and moat significant explanation
we have seen of the acute silver crisis
■which now paralyses the business of
India.
The time when bimetallism will be
forced upon the world appears to be near
at hand, and the logic of events is mov
ing mountains of difficulty which mere
argument could not budge.
The cable brings us from Cal outs an
item of news that is of supreme im
portance to the political, social and eco
nomic interests of the civilised world.
Wa refer to the following dispatch,
which appeared in our issue of yester
day: “The government announces that
in view of the beginning of the export
season it does not propose to maintain
tiie minimum rate for council bills, and
that offers of Is. to Is. d. will be con
sidered on their merits. Amazement
has been caused by this step, and busi
ness is completely disorganised.”
In order to fully understand the sig
nificance of this news it is necessary to
briefly review the history of the silver
question injits bearings upon the Indian
currency.
In 1803 France enacted her bimetallic
law, whioh provided that the French
mints should be opened to the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and sil
ver at the ratio of 15)£ to 1.
For seventy years the French mints
and the mints of the Lstiu Union, after
it was formed, remained open to both
metals on the terms prescribed by the
law of 1803 There then existed a stable
par of exchange between England, with
her single gold standard, and the silver
standard countries of the Erst, upon
whose trade hangs the very life of her
commerce.
In 1873 occurred an event whioh
changed all this, and iwhich, in its ulti
mate results, reduced all commerce be
tween the Occidental and the Oriental na
tions to the level of the most reckless
gambling. One of the most sinister con
sequences of the Franco-German war is
to be found in the immense currency
changes which it brought to i's
train. Germany, dizzied by the glitter
as the $1,000,000,000 indemnity which she
exacted from France, determined to de
monetize silver and adopt; the single
gold standard, ja«t as in 1840 sb* had de
monetized gold and adopted the single
silver standard. Francs was then sore
from her tremendous defeat, and espe
cially from the loss of her well beloved
provinces. It was not unnatural that
she should throw all possible obstacles in
the way of Germany’s success. Accord
ingly the mints of the Latin Union were
dosed to the free coinage of silver. This
action may justly be considered the most
important event of modern times, if we
take into account the tremendous
changes in the lines and currents of com
merce which it has brought about.
The effects of this mighty change were
at first but little observed by the casual
thinker of the day, but the most far
seeing economists of the time predicted
that the ultimate results would involve
a greater waste of human labor than was
caused by the Napoleonic wars.
In the years between the mutiny of
1857 and the closure of the Latin Union
mints, the East Indian government had
contracted an immense debt in England,
the proceeds of which had been em
ployed in railways, canals and other use
ful public works. The interest on this
debt, amounting to about £15,000,000 per
annum, has, of course to be paid in gold.
India is a single-silver standard country,
gold having ceased to be a legal tender
in 1834. The unit of value in British In
dia is the rupee, a coin weighing 180
grains, of which 165 are pure silver, and
15 grains are alloy. Os course all the
taxes are collected in the rupee and its
subdivisions, and in it the civil servants
of the government receive their pay. Up
to the closure of the Latin Union mints,
the rupee exchanged, approximately, for
-"3s, English, and the fluctuations were
never sufficient to be of any practical
moment. But with the closure of the
mints of the Latin Union and of the
United States the world entered upon an
entirely different condition of things.

preciated in relation to gold, although it
it* purchasing power over
commodities. The condition of the In
dian treasury became more and more
full of embaraasment and danger. A*
the gold price of silver declined, it re
quired every year a great quantity of ru
pees to defray the annual interest charge
of £15.000,000 which had to be mat in
London. The officials, whose salaries
were payable in rupees, and whose fami
ilies had to be kept in England, found
that, to all intents and purposes, their
inaosaes had been diminished by ont
half. As the crisis became more interne
the agitation of the official class in
creased, and this pressure was reinforced
by the angry complaints of the vast mass
of British traders who found that, in
ninety-nine cases out of every hundred,
prospective profi's were turned into
losses by the depreciations in the ex
changeable value of the silver currency
in wnioh they bad to take their pay
Many great London banks were ruined
by accepting deposits payable in gold and
employing the money in long loans in
silver countries. When the loans ma
tured and the proceeds were invested in
sterling, the principal had shrunk by
one-half.
In the spring of 1803 the Indian Coun
cil took decisive action. The govern
ment mints were closed to the coinage of
silver on private account, and it was an
nounced that no drafts on the Indian
treasuries against tbe taxes collected for
the payment of tbe interest on the ster
ling debt would be sold at a less rate than
Is. 4d. per rupee, which is equivalent to
about 44%d. for bar silver in the London
market. The next aot in this great in
ternational drama was the repeal of the
Sherman act. The Indian mints had
been annually coining about 50.000,000
ounces of silver, while we had annually
purchased about tbe same quantity un
der the provisions of the Sherman law.
The Indian government hoped that by
closing the mints to coinage on private
account they would be able to give the
rupee a scarcity value, and thus main
tain the ratio of exchange which they
had established. The event has com
pletely falsified their calculations. Some
of the causes of the monumental failure
are very obscure, while others lie on the
surface.
Tbe horded coin is now coming back
into circulation, and the same thing is
true in China, where boards of trade
have resolved to use the English coin in
stead of the yen.
This reduces tbe business with India
to gambling again, and makes it exceed
ingly hazardous for English merchants
engaged in trade with the orient. This
state of affairs has accelerated the growth
of puplic opinion in England and even
Caprivi, the Prime Minister of Germany,
is a convert. Lord Salisbury, discussing
the India loan in the English house of
lords, not long ago, declared that inter
national bimetallism was swiftly and
surely coming. The return of the con
servatives to power would hasten tbe
event,?m the leaders of that party are
pronounced bimetallists. The Times-
Democrat advocated the repeal of the
Sherman act last fall because it believed
that to be the only safe course, but it
bails with pleasure the prospect of a
speedy return to bimetallism, the de
parture from which twenty years ago
brought so great a disaster in its train.

TO BE TRIED RIGHT-
A Negro Who Appealed to the Big Court.-
He Sto'.e Hams and Turkeys.
A wiry, greasy and dirty negro named
Billups gave Deputy Sheriffs Turner and
McConnell a little exercise yesterday
morning. He had been arrested for
stealing tuikiys and was also wanted for
breaking open Mr. M. L. Troutman’s
smokehouse and removing some fine
hams which he subsequently sold.
He was taken from jiil to Esquire
Lumpkin’s office for trial. On the way
be made a dash for liberty, but was soon
caught and brought before the magis
trate. A crowd followed and the prison
er, who was quite talkative, entertained
them with his theory of the case and
things in general. When asked whether
he was ready for trial he said:
‘‘No, I’ll jes let it go ’long.”
The crowd smiled audibly and the jus
tice said, “Do you waive examination*?”
“I’ll jeslet it go ’long till I can be tried
right at the big court.”
There was a laugh at Mr. Lumpkin’s
expense, but he good naturedly suggest
ed that the prisoner might be tried right
by that court.
“I want to get up my witnesses. I
ain’t got no witnesses. They say I done
something an’ I ain’t done it.”
Then he proceeded to discourse the
crowd on the jail in an interesting fashion.
“If they take me to Mr. Craws Moore,
I’ll treat him right. They won’t hafter
put the lash on me to make me work.
I’d rather be with Mr. Moore than be in
jail. Theys lice in jail got stingers like
a wasp. Take up a collection and gimme
a nickel apiece to get some ‘cruel’ oint
ment.”
At this there was a burst of laughter.
7 he negro’s tongue ran like a flutter-mill
and he told how the meat had been left
to him by his dead mother. When asked
why be sold the heirloom so cheap he
said In had to sell things to these town
people for nothing or he couldn’t sell it.
He was taken back to jail in default of
bond.

Special to Th* Tribune.
Atlanta Jan. 27.—The governor re
turned thia morning and got down to his
office at 9 o'clock, a* if nothing had hap
pened. He waa soon up to bis ears in
work, but during the course of the morn
ing found time to talk about the trip to
Waycross.
“There is not much to say about it,”
said be, “except this, there was an
evident indication on the part of a lot of
rowdies arid roughs to disregard the au
thority of the laws in this state and to
give a disgraceful exhibition on Georgia
soil. I determined to prevent it, using
what means I had on hind. Os course
you know that there was finally no at
tempt made to fight on Georgia soil and
chat settled it.
“I had positive information from un

“that the fight was to come off in Geor
gia in case the courts prevented it occur
ring in Jacksonville. Three men wbo
went to Jacksonville voluntarily to as
certain the situation, wired that It bad
been decided that the fight would
take place in Georgia, and it was on
thia information that I acted. Yesterday
morning, the day of the fight, there
were a lot of telegraph instruments put
off at St. Mary’s River, showing that my
information wascoireot. I had the sher
iff and a squad < f men at Sc. Mary’s, and
for every two m les along the road I had
adepucy sheriff and a squad. They had
instructions in o ise any train passed to
follow it and prevent auy fight in Geor
gia. There was no especial guard sent to
Cumberland, but there were lookouts
tiere, and had there been auy indication
of a fight taking place wo would have
been able to have sent soldiers at short
n itioe. I went to Waycross because I
thought that ths bast place to superin
tend operations.
‘■l know some of the newspapers have

at all. I did what I considered noy duty,
and I am only glad that it was not neces
sary to prevent the fight by force.”

PECKHAM’S CHANCES.
The Fight Will Be Short aid Sharp
Confirmation.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Mr. Pugh
chairman of the senate judiciary com
mittee, said he thought it
likely that the Peckham nomination
would be saken up at the committee’s
meeting on Monday, and intimated that
it might be disposed of at that meeting.
This encourages the opponents of Mr.
Peckham to claim that an adverse re
port on the nomination by the commit
tee is certain. Mr. Pugh himself is
known to be opposed to confirmation,
and it i* assumed that he would not pre
dict speedy action unless he felt well as
svred of a result favorable to his viow
of the case.
The fight against the nomination is
taking a new turn. Mr. Peckham is
disappearing from th® contest and the
president is coming in for criticism. All
of the talk heard now is what senators
term the “moaning” of the nomination.
This has been true conspicuously on t.ie
Republican side of the chain bars Mr.
Peckham’s abilities and high standing
wero conceded, but the opinion was ex
pressed that tho president was Hsing
him as a club with which to knock
down the New York senators. Th*

FIGHTING THE BILL.
About tlio Danger. That Threatea
Tariff Legislation.
Washington, Jan. 28. —Representa-
tive Haines, of New Jersey, says that
the Demoorats opposed to the features
of th* Wilson bill will get together soon
and decide whether a motion will be
made to recommit the bill or to lay it on
the table, or to strike out the enacting
clause. Mr. Haines says the meeting
■will be informal. He is inclined to think
a motion to lay it on the table will be
made.
Mr. Haines asserts that if the four
Democrats of Louisiana who are dissat
isfied with the sugar schedule will vot*
against the bill, it will make the opposi
tion strong enough to lay the Wilson
bill on the table, or to take other ad
verse action. Members of the ways and
means committee do not credit th*
claims of Mr. Haines. They say that a
motion to lay on the table would not b*
in order under the special rule. But a
motion to recommit would be in order,
and it is this motion that the members
of the committee feel some concern
about, as they say. that Democrats could
vote for it without going on record
against the bill as a whole. It is r.ot be
lieved a motion to recommit will com e
from the Republican side, as it would
raise party feeling and thus defeat its
intended purpose.
Filled Him with Buckshot*
Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 26.—John
Btilliana shot and killed R. R. Kyler at
this place, emptying eight buckshot into
his left shoulder, death ensuing immedi
ately. The difficulty occurred over the
children of the two families. Taylor,
the night before, patroled the street in
front of Stillians’ house, cursing and
threatening his life. Stillians was not
armed then, but prepared himself later,
and when Taylor attempted the previous
escapade, Stillians stepped to the front
door and fired two shots, one of which
took effect as above stated. The coro
ner’s jury returned a verdict of justifia
ble homicide.
IN NO HURRY.
Mr. Cleveland Allow, tho Anxloue to Walt
a Lohj Time.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The fact has
been noted that the president is sending
very few nominations to the senate these
days, and that confirmations by the sen
ate are being made slowly. There has
been a most marked falling off in both
respects since the rejection by the senate
of the nomination of Judge Hornblower
for justice of the supreme court of the
United States, and of J. Scott Harrison
for the surveyor of th* port of Kans J
City.
So far, during the week, the president
has sent to the senate only one nomina
tion, that of Mr. Peckham, to be asso
ciate justice, and while the senate has
held two or three brief executive ses
sions only a very few confirmations have
been announced. It is also a well known
fact that there is scarcely an important
committee of the senate which has not
one or more nominations hung up there,
because of the objections of senators and
others.
A large number of nominations from
New York, one from Missourio, South
Carolina, Illinois and many other states,
which were made before the Christmas
holidays, remain still in the committee.
Appraiser Bunn, of New York; Col
lector Simmons, of North Carolina, and
the Topeka postmaster are included in
the list of appointments of long stand
ing which have not received attention.
It is the general belief about the senate
that the nominations will come in more
rapidly after the Peckham nomination
is disposed of.
INMATES BURNED.
An Insane Asylum Destroyed With Fear

Boone, la., Jan. 25.—The building on
the Boone county poor farm, in which
the incurably insane were confined, was
burned at 10 o’clock and eight of the
nine inmates were burned to death.
Only one woman, Mrs. Hibbard, es
caped from the burning building and
gave the alarm to Steward Holcomb,
who was in the main building adjacent.
It was then too late to save the insane
people and the main building was saved
only by the greatest effort. The stew
ard says he banked the fires in the fur
nace about 9 o’clock, and does not know
how the fire originated unless from a de
fective flue. The dead are: Tommy

THE WATER WORKS.
Actual Cost of the New Plant
to Date.
WITHIN THE ESTIMATE.
The Work Will Be Completed
for SI,OOO Less Than
Was Calculated.
It has been frequently asserted by par
ties who ought to know better, that the
new water works cost a great deal more
chan the estimate first submitted. The
following statement from the Water
Works Committee shows that our superb
new plant has so far only cost about two
thirds of the estimate, and will be com
pleted for about SI,OOO under it.
Editor Tribune.
Dear Sir—As there have been so many
false rumors in regard to the cost as the
new water works (for what reason we are
unable to say) the committee would re
spectfully ask that you publish the fol
lowing statement of estimate and expen
ditures of new works:
In changing the original rdute of the
pipe line (on which the estimate of the
superintendent was base< ) to come by
North Rome, there will be an additional
cost for (pipe and laying same of about
$2,500, whioh is not included in this esti
mate.
The pumps were bought under a guar
antee, and not to be paid for until they
were thoroughly tested.
The committee promised the council
when the last appropriation was made
tbat they would pump water before the
year was out. When the water is turned
on to the city in March we feel confident
that there is not a good citizen of Rome
but will be proud of the new works.
Until then we await their judgment.
It was the sense of the council when
the work was started that it should be
arranged so that it could be paid for out
of the annual appropriations. This be
ing the case, there will be no necessity
for increasing the taxes next year above
one per cent. W. J. Griffin,
