The Friend of India and Statesman Tuesday July 2nd 1878

The Foreign Office wit! 11 answer to be hopeless now withdrew the promise to consider c reply to the memorial and intimated through the Resident the Nizam's Ministers that the Government of India would defer the consideration ofilie case till the Nizam came of age. [...] he Government was to take the place of the creditors to the extent of the moneys so paid with a charge on the estates for its advances running at the rate of 5 or 6 per cent. [...] The constant drain upon the Currency for the conversion of rupees into ornaments would in process of time stop of itself altogether ; the price of silver bullion falling below the value of the silver in the rupee by the whole amount of the seignorage and the cost of minting. [...] The fiction is maitained that England has no interest whatever in the maintenance of the Indian Army ; and so she repudiates all liability for its cost and carriee the principle to the length even of making India pay for the cost of the depiffis at home. [...] The old heaven sod all the vain false gods of Hellas' passed away like a dream of the night and a material universe governed by beneficent and everlasting laws took the place of the old-world scourged and tortured according to the fitful caprice of a multitude of deities constant in nothing but their malignity of disposition.
