CHINA:

DECREE PROHIBITING THE GROWTH OF THE POPPY IN

We append below translation of an Imperial decree which appears in the Paling Gazette of 22d January respecting the cultivation of the poppy in China It would at first seem upon the face of it that the decree is promulgated solely owing to a natural and paternal anxiety On the part of the Chineso: Government to prevent its subjects being too easily furnished with the means of indulgence in an unholy luxury. But we believe we can detect a much stronger desire to destroy in the bud the growing tendency to cultivate the poppy plant in time as a proceeding which it carried cut extensively would seriously affect the Imperial exchequer. Were the proclamation dependent upon moral grounds only for its enforcement there would be but a slight chance of the Mandarins taking any trouble about the matter; but as the growth of native oplum would eventually touch official pockets it is very probable that they will more or less endeavour to carry ont the instructions given them. Foreigners interested in the East Indian opium trade may therefore rest assured that

there is no disposition on the part of the Chinese to interfere with that lucrative #speculative business. The following is the Edit in question
