Sir H. Cotton pointed out that the argument that it would be difficult to compansate the Indian cultivators of the poppy proceded upon a serious filasy, boonuse Tudian enltivators frequently protested against this onlfivation. They would rather be free to cultivate,what they liked, beesuse the cultivation of other crops would be more profitable to them.
Sir J. Kenneway (Dovoa, Hollon) expressed his lively satisfaction at the progress made in this question by this evening's debate and at the nativa steps taken by the Government.
