'1'111: ('.ASE OF INDIA.
Wealth Per (lead (las Grown, and
'Trade Increased.
"The Wealth and Progress of 1:►-
dia : Facts and Fictions," was the
subject of a paper read before the
last India Association at Casten
Hall, London, England, by Mr.
Charles McMinn, who has lived is
India for the past forty-six )ears.
Mr. McMinn denied that Ardis
had suffered from British rule; on
the contrary, it had greatly bene-
fitted. Dealing with misstatements
by critics, he referred to a member
of Parliament who, after spending
six weeks in India, said that in the
last forty years 30,000,000 natives
died of poverty. Official statistics
showed that the number was really
1,003,000.
Mr. Surendranath Banerjeo de-
clared a few months ago that £33,-
000,000 was sent in casts from India
to England yearly. The truth was
that the bullion export to the whole
world was only £9,000,000, while the
import averaged £28,000,000, a
yearly gain of 1;19,000,000 to India.
"Indian weaving and spinning

Henry Cotton, yet the exports of

to the cost of all the British officers
