Of our colony's revenue about one sixth accrues from opium, If such revenue were extinguished our colony could raise the revenue from Tonnage dues. The people would say nothing to the loss. Many are in favour of the obligation.

They don't hate it because they like an enemy. The mutual glossing over faults or evil and mutual example in their intercourse make the Asiatics more liable.

The reason why Chinese are led to the use of opium is partly on account of the consumers' mis-understanding the medical effect of the drug, and partly on account of their fondness for laziness and licentiousness. No, that is the way they frame excuses for it. Not to my knowledge. Only by a few but not commonly.

Yes they do.

16. Yes very strong and displeased. By talk
