The. fiscal and political phases of the question. are those which present themselves to as as-they seem similarly to press upon the members of the lowe Government; and this is explained by the considera- tion that it is not from the moral point of view that the trade in opium can

sured terms by clergymen of all religi ous denominations, while but a small proportion of those clerical gentlenien ever seek to inveigh against the liquor trafie. The difference is said to be this, that England in responsible for the in- troduction of opium into 'bin-B statement which, if proved, throw us back upon the inquiry or investigation as to who first invented the use of sti- mulants generally; for almost every raca under the sun uses some stimulant, soother or (if you will) stupefier to relieve the cafous work, the ever-recurring wor the many-sided sufferings of buman life. This charge, if it be a charge against the mural action of the Englisation, is one which we think ought not to be made, besides which it isternent that we do not consider to boy borre out by the facts. While looking upon this question from tlie plat form of political facts and administrative necessities, it naturally follows that the philanthropic schemes and the one-sided advocacy of the Society for the Suppres sion of the Opium Trade do not hur nonise with our views. Bat it has been our duty also on several occasions to point out certain gross and foolish blun- ilers which some of the advocates of the Anti-Opium Society are apt to make, especially when dealing with commercial or political matters. An iustance of the mistaken notions entertained by some people r garding the ubjects and aims of Foreign merchants in Ching may be and in a letter published in the lat issue of the end of China, the orgun of the Society for the Suppression of the Oiuin Trade.
