INDIA AND OPIUM SALES.

. EFFECT ON THE BUDGET,
Allahabad, Jan. 5th. Commenting on the opium sales the Merchants certainly can Pioneer says: not complain that everything possible has not been done to help them and to prevent the serious financial crisis which It now they have been predicting.
the remains to consider what will be effect on the finances of India of this opium. of revenue from sudden stoppage Up to date that revenue in the current financial year has been between two and two and a quarter crores more than was estimated in the Budget for 1912-13, and if the sales had continued on normal lines. up to the end of Marel: at least fifty lakhs more would have been added to this large sum. This half crore therefore will not be. forthcoming, and by so much must the rovised estimates, of revenue be reduced. The loss, however, will not be seriously felt, as the total surplus from all sources when the accounts of the current financial year are closed must run into several crores. Customa, land revenue and other heads show an excess over the estimates of last March, while the railway earnings alone are already soine crores to the good, and there are still three months to run. Then arises the consideration of ways and means for the next financial year 1913-14, and an important point in this connection is whether the estimates can includa ertificated apinm for China as a source of revenue at all. stands, we take it that the next budget will contain only the estimates of revenue to be derived from the sale of opium in India for excise purposes, and of the un- certificated drug which is destined for non-China markets. It may be heroic to do this, but it is better for the Govern- ment of India to face the position boldly once and for all than to wait upon cir a Micawber-like spirit cumstances in They will see before April how the situation is developing consequent upon their present action, and they may have same grain of comfort in the possible rine in price of the arcertificated drug, though they have reduced the quantity to be sold in 1913 by nearly one-third. It should be noted, by the way, that this reduction is described as a temporary measure and it has yet to be seen whether 9,000 chests per annum will be sufficient in future years to supply the market outside China. The gradual extinction of the opium trade with China has been recognised as inevitable for some time past, but it was hoped that the process would extend over ten years. It has come in half that time, and the shock is not so severe as might By good fortune have been expected, the revenue of Indin shows this financial year a splendid surplus, due in part, it must be admitted, to opium itself, and the outlook for 1913-14 is a very pros- The harvests promise well, pervas one, trade all round is booming and there is

Railways alone can safely be counted upon to give an ever- increasing surplus and with generous provision for purely capital expenditure their revenue producing power is almost unlimited.

The concurrent testimonies of eye, car, and nose (writes H. M.

The creature had specialised to its limit as a lemaroid: a heritage awaited him upon conditions; he must descend from his branch, hunt by day, develop his eyes and hind limbs.

JOURNALISM'S HALF-SISTER.
"THE FIFTH ESTATE,"
The public are as interested in good advertising as the advertisers themselves, Some of the most brilliant publicity.
There is not a phrases and ideas have come to their users from outside sources. single great advertising firm that is not Bombarded by suggestions, worthy or otherwise, that are proof of this interest. Many advertising phrases have passed into colloquial usage-they crop up as metaphors in our journalism-the politi cian, the cartoonist, and the comedian raise a friendly roar by their homely in terpolation,
There is no question whatever as to whe ther everyone reads advertisements--we must read them-for the whole art of successful publicity is that it compels ate tention.
There are advertisements that that most cross-grained curmudgeon on earth-a veritable Scrooge of newspaper He thinks to readers cannot avoid. ignore them, but he reads them out of the tail of his eye. He tries to forget them; but they rap and tap at his subliminal consciousness--they wear into his memory like water into a stone; and the day comes Adver when he stands at a counter and gruffly refuses the unadvertised article, tisement is a volatile commercial traveller who, where the door is barred, can enter by the window, the chimney, and even the brick wall of Denial.

I cannot quote some of those famous advertisements-but I do maintain that the brains that have coined them share that same touchstone of genius that older arts claim for their great exponents,
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ARTS. But what art to-day would make ad vertisement a Cinderella? If literature. painting, photography, and printing have inade advertising, it has abundantly en- couraged them in return-as witness the rewards that are paid to the writers and artists whose talent. lures the reader from the news columns to the advertisement spaces, and makes the wayfarer's eye turn from the grey tides of the streets to the colours of the hoardings.
Gone is the old cant that it is un- dignified for an artist-with pen, pencil, or brush-to work for the advertiser. Equally dead is the advertiser's bygone belief that all he had to do was to pro- claim his wares with the dulness of a catalogue or the strideney of a cheap- There are, even nowadays, would- jack. be advertisers who do not advertise. not know how they manage commercial existence.
