No shange at present in the tone of the drug poppy. It is obvious that when the officials of market. Lovernment levy a duty of this kind upon the Baring class, they cannot but be conscious ; that they are divestly conniving at the practice; whilst the farmers, in paying such an impost to Government, are naturally emboldened openly to continue the cultivation. Hence it followa tint the laws remain unexcouted. Your ser vant feels it incumbent upon him to veqant that a deore be laued, laying injunctions upon this Viocroy that rigens orders be given to his subordinates to the effect this in so far as the duty in question in curcerned, stepp should: only be taken to maintain supervision over mer eantile irule, sed forbidding the imposition of a duty in propertion to the land tax, to the detriment of the agricultural class. Thus it will be plainly impressed upon the mind of the people that husbandry is one of the highest intercale of the tate. Should there still be any who are regardless of evil in their greed of gain, and who continue the illegal cultivation in despite of prihitious, the local anthorities should be required to keep a strict eye upon thom and inflict the punishment which their offence deserves If officials themselves wilful ly continue to lary the impost, it should be permitted to the farmers to denounce then, and they also abould have due punishment meted cut to thers. By this means, both of pils and people being mutually on their guard, it may be hoped that exhortations and prais ments will be duly regarded, and the laws will be carried into effect.
