THE Hongkong Government depends for a considerable part of its revenue on the opium monopoly, which is "farmed" or rented to the highest bidder on conditions provided by the Legislative Council, An extraordinary meeting of shareholders in the stipulating among other things that Grand Hotel, Ltd., was held in Yokohama on the Farmer is to Import no oplam the and ullo, when a proposition brought except for local consumption ( Inforward by Dr. Hall to opposition to the rest of the island of Hongkong or the pen- the directors, to raise the manager's salary from Insula of British Kowloon) and that $550 to $300 per mensew, and entrust him with
full power, wis negatived. he may import 150 chests of the drug per month, but no more. The reason for limiting the quantity, is that the Imperial Maritime Customs authorities have found Hongkong to be a great smuggling centre, and the restriction of importation to the limits of local consumption is intended by the Hongkong Government as a complete prevention of smuggling Into China; for the Hongkong Government makes a special point of Eulalte, daughter of Queen Isabella of Spals, delay of the M.

There is also an Oplum Farm In Slam, where a population at the lowest about ten times as big as that of Hongkong has to be suppiled. The Siam Farm, however, finds roo chests a month quite sufficient. The Siamese are oplum smokers, and the Chinese In Siam, counted by millions, of course smoke opium.

Now, where is the prevention of smuggling? What becomes of all the Imports in excess of local consumption? If not exported, stocks must accumulate to a tremendous extent; if exported, the law is stultified. (But when was any law passed in Hongkong which did not stultify $1.00 itself?)
