of raw opium, smokers, merchants and subjects etc., to obey

this uniformally. They must understand that this taxation re-

-quires the purchasers of raw opium and preparers to pay so

much per tael as the raw opium will yield after preparation, to find security, and pay tax submissively. It is the smokers that

are subject to this taxation, while the raw opium dealers are not

prejudiced thereby but prepared opium dealers, smokers and purchasers of raw opium must first repair to Kwong Wing Yuen Farmer's Office, to notify and apply for permits by virtue of

which they are allowed to prepare opium, and then send them

(permits) to our Investigating and Detecting Station in order

to see the amount:

mteright or not. Afterwards permits to buy raw

opium will be issued to them and the purchasers are thus **

allowed to carry the purchased opium home. They must prepare

all of it within three days and must not keep ✰*m it, otherwise

they are criminal to the offence of secretly possessing opium.

Thenever the raw opium dealers import = raw opium, they must,

after paying custom's duty, report to us the number of chests

landed into godowns. The raw opium dealers must, when customers go to their shop to purchase raw opium,

examine carefully

the permit to prepare opium, and that to buy raw opium, before they are allowed to supply opium to their patronizers. they

(raw opium dealers) must each keep a record of sales and report

it to us for cancellation, so as to facilitate investigation and

avoid smuggling. All that appertain to this taxation do not, in the least, injure the business of the raw opium dealers. Now

that opium is being sincerely and strictly suppressed and a time

has been specified for the total suppression of native opium,

decrease ferhiddence of its cultivation and gradual of foreign opium

yearly. The idea of the Baard of Finance hurrying on the scheme

lies in the investigation into the amount of consumption and

binding of the smokers, with the hope that the campaign of

opium suppression may bear fruit. Raw and prepared opium

dealers must act on these regulations and profoundly obey them.
