OPIUM AND TRADE.
Hr. Walter J. Clennell of Kiukiang contri- butes to the N.0. Daily News the following notes on the recent report of the Philippinos Opium Commission :-*
1-Influence of Opium habit upon the tea trails of Amoy.
It is alleged that the taa export of Amoy, haring boon Tis. 2,600,000 in 1882 was reduced in 1898 to Tls. 147,00, the inference being drawn that this enormous decline was due to the increasing use of opium in the district.
CURED OF CONSTIPATION!
AN ENGINEER PLANES BILE BRANE.
If tea continues to be browed in a tea pot în which the exhausted leaves are allowed to ramain, the liquor will be rank and unwhole- sume. The results will grow steadily worn, and the tea-pot will at length besome quits auflt for use until it has been thoroughly cleansed and puritied. If refuse has accumulated in the hum in system through the occurrence of constipation, the whole body in rendered foal and unhealthy. Constipation and its results are speadily removed by Bile Beaus. Mr. 8. F. Wennotb, electrioni engineer, 4, Alms Street, Santhwick, Birmingham, England, says: [ found in the course of my profession that when I went to a fresh town or district, the altered climate had a very lowering and d pressing effect upon me. When I got to some place for a short time I suffered from constipation, depression, and sleeplessness, and got rus down The figures for 1898 gico Tls, 3,750.000 as the generally. During the day I had a helpless saine of the foreign-that is to say, Formosan-faling and desire to lie down af. the time, ten, passed through Amoy in that your. The local though even that was a trouble, and then at ten, as the commissioners say, was only Tis. night I could not go
Bleup at all.
Bat I find that is, 2,100,000 of the 1893 export consisted of tea grown in Formosa, so that the locally grown tes oxport of that year was only T's. 500,000 or thereabouts.
In 1895 Formosa wax esied to Jupu. Tea grown in that island el traus-shipped through Amoy thenceforth appears, not, as formerly, in the list of native but in the list of foreign articles of trada.
147.000,
In 1803 the local export was only. Tis, 119.000, but the export of foreign tos was Tls. 3,700,000. If the commissioners are right in assessing the tea export of 1882 at Tis, 2600,000, they should in fairaese have assessed the 1898 export at Tls. 3,000,000, which would huro led them to conclude that the trade had increased by Tls. 1,300,000 in 18 yeSTS.
This conclusion would, of course, have bean fallacices for the local tea export has in fact suffered a very serious decline.
Whether this decline has anything to do with the opium, habit am not in a position to 2a5. May be it bas. But it is orient that the Agures quoted by the commissioners are beside the argument, in that they include Formose tea in 1882 but exclude it in 1898,
2.-Influence of opium habit on trade of Kiaugsi
The Commissioners imply that the growth of the opiam habit in the cause of the decline of the ton export in Kiangsi.
Their conclusion is again based on the returns for the two years 1892 and 1899. If my figures are all correct they have, as regards those two years, somewhat under-ostimated the facts; but if they had taken into account this intervening years and the years since 1898 they would have seen that the published returns do not bear out thoir inforonce.
The importation of Indian aptum through Kiukiang, which was 1,650 pleuls in 1882. began to increase in 1885. It reached a maximum-3,600 picuts,ia 1891, singe which sate it has, with some actuations, declined, the lowest figure being 1,800 picnls in 1909.
I am under the impression that native opium is far more extensively consumed than Indian perhaps in the proportion of four to one. I do not know whether its use is increasing or
|
The many pills I tried notor gave me any bonellt, until one day a little hook was brought to the door describing the haßt a number of people had received through taking Bils Boans for Dilionsness, so I sent for a bet- tie. In a couple of days I felt a little better, and at the end of the course I was cured, and completely too, for I havo nover bean troubled with the feelings since. I have never felt butter than I do at pressut, and I cannot speak too highly of Bile Beans. I have given a lot of them away to neighbours who tell me they have rosited a lot of good. In fact, I have not heard a word against them yet. I shall always keep a bottle by mo, and will recommend them to everybody who suffere, for they hare dove mo so much good, that I feel it only right others should know of them."

EGYPTIAN COTTON MILLS.
It will surprise no one who knew anything of the conditions under which they were working to learn that the Egyptian cotton mills, about which so much fuss was made at the ecramencement, are likely to elow their doors very non, unless the unexpected happens and Lord Cromer, regardless of the outery which would be sure to be raised in Lancashire, steps in and saves what is after all a promising industry from utter ruin. Since their establish meet the mills have had withal a chequered career, Almost crashed at the very start by the
very strong opposition of the home their heade above water. In fact, when the wills commenced work some four years ago, their was no working capital loft, and what oxoise duty has been paid to the Governmout has been paid out of new capital

Ho aver excessive the use of opium in this provinco may be, it is certainly not the only nor the chief, cause of the decline in the tea +3port. After rauging for 9 years at between Tls. 7,000,000 and Tis, 9,000,000, a decline set in decisively in 1883-at a time when Indian opium was also on the decline. Nothing can be plainer than that this decline of the tea export was due to Indian and Ceylon competition in foreign markets, assisted by the export duty levied in China and to the fall in the exchange value of silver.
After several rather violent fluctuations the tes expert reached a minimum of Tis. 3,601,000 in 1983. Then, in 1908, export duty haring. been reduced and Ceylon competition being, from temporary causes, relaxed, it advanced to Tha. 6,000,000, a vaine only twice, exceeded since 1882, to recede somewhat in 1904.
Whether opiars bad anything to do with the matter may be doubted.
Even if it had, it is surely unfair to attribute to this one cause a decline to which other and
CAURUS have amply suficient
notoriously contributed.
The Egyptian Cotton Mills Company(Limited) was formed in 1890 to work a concession which had been granted by the Government for the erection of mashinery for the manufacture of cotton. Hitherto, no cotton mill had been erected in this country, but considerable quanti- ties of yarn wara woven into cloth by the natives
This
nathorisation or concession contained no stipu- lation as to the payment of duties on the yarns and goods manufactured, while there is a daty imposed on all such goods imported into Egypt equal to 8 per cent upon their value. In considering, hoverer, that they would be granted some sort of protee is, the promotore reckoned without their host, for the Govern mest followed the precedent mat by the Gorerament of Tabia and decided to place homemade sad imported cot on on exactly the samoting.
Here was a blow to prot etion, at the same time a blow at the existence of the cot'on mille. The

n decision in their favour, which was, however, ultimate y quashed on the Govern. most appealing. Whatever may be thought 872) of the economic aspects of the case, there can ho no doubt that, from a strictly legal point of view, the Exyptian Governmo it stood on very strong ground. There was no sort of reason why the authorities should oppose any proposal which involved placing the home-made on precisaly the sm footing as the imported goods. On the other hand, it was con-idered detrimental by Lord Cromer to both Egyptian of the parvines by the opium habit had ruined and English interests to flord any encourage- the tes trade it would be natural to find ment to the growth of a protected industry in branches of trade as well. But every other important commodity, both of imports and exports, has advanced.

Even allowing-for-the-falling-off in tea, the export trade in 1904 was equal, on a silver basis, to the whole trade, exports and imports together, that passed through Kinking is 1882. Imports Love crown steadily and rapidly, experts less steadily; but the total has doubled in about 20 years,
Thus it would seem, both as regards Amoy and as regards Kiangsi, that the inference drawn by the commissioners is based upon what is commonly known as a mare's nont.
It would be a pity if the discussion of so serious a question as the proper attitudo of govern ments to the opium trade habit were to be con ducted carelessly. No good can accrue to those engaged is pointing ant and combatting the evils of opium by the dissemination of irrelevant and
