They scarcely do justice to my reasoning for I advocate a Stamp duty, being the fairest to all parties residing here or not. I could not say that abstractedly it is the most equitable base, and I merely take advantage of it now, from the analogy subsisting between this place and Singapore. They emphatically deny the existence of any such analogy, because at Singapore, they say, the Chinese are not so migrating as they have here, and because they have a place to go to where labour is not wasted. Now I never supposed that the analogy between Hongkong and any other place mathematically exists, or that Singapore was
