President. I will advert to a fact in illustration of the point which I am just now making (and which I will in the latter part of my remarks. or at some other time. develop more fully). which is this: That in consequence of the harmony which exists between India and China and Japan in their monetary systems. in the interchange of silver coin amongst themselvesnot goldIndia. which has been so long sobbing and her bleeding heart palpitating under the heel of Great Britain. has been inspired with some of that sentiment of manhood which in days not so very ancient made her one of the brightest and most resplendent powers of the world. has been devoting herself to practical subjects. such as spinning and weaving the cotton made upon her own soil. and she is engaged actively in commerce across her borders. and the nations with whom she has traded have been China. Japan. and the Asiatic islands. India has increased in her prosperity as rapidly as any country in this world. Notwithstanding all of these drawbacks and these difficulties. she has taken away from Manchester and fromGreat Britain a trade with China which was one of the most lucrative that Great Britain has ever possessed.
