Contemplated plan to regulate saltpetre trade in India
The writer argues against ongoing Gomastahs and proposes a Company plan to contract merchants for all saltpetre in the districts on the Company's account. It envisions delivering 25,000 maunds of refined saltpetre to Patna over five years, saving duties, increasing profits, and preventing French or Dutch manufacture. It also discusses freeing Gomarrahs and securing balances within four months. The piece ends with anecdotal notes on Scotland’s specie circa 1707 and reflections on global war costs and paper currency.
