I must say made," this is a point which I think, in all fairness, deserves, your Excellency's consideration. It must not be thought for a moment that this exİYA £20,000 that the colony is called upon to pay will not prove a very heavy burden. It is the case in private life that when one is supposed to he possessed of more means than he actually has continual calls are made on his purse, and if he does not pay up and look pleasant he is called mean,, So, I take it, is it with public finance. There are two questions we have to consider with reference to the means of the Colony, revenue and papulation. In the first place, is our revenue likely to increase or even to he maintained 7 It is a well known fact that our principal source of revenue is the Opium Farmer, who pays us about $470,000 a year, as against what we formerly obtained, which was something like $180,cen. Now it is, an open secret that it is not probable that we shall detive the same amount of revenue from that source in the future that we do at present, and it is also an open secret why, but I do not propose to enter into that just now. The point is that this revenue that we derive from the Opium Farra represents about a third of our total revenue. Another point that. has alse to be taken into consideration is this, that the value of land hitherto in this Colony has been proved to be more or less fictitious. A reaction bas taken place. Rents are, being reduced, and I may say I am very glad they are, because as soon as we get rents down, the probability is the population will again increase. As regards population we have no reliable statistics. The only apparent certainty on the point is that in the years 1888 and 1889 it is proved by figures that 15,000 more Chinese left this Colony than entered it by junks. I do not mean to say that this is any conclusive proof: that the population is diminishing, but I think it tends in the direction of showing that there is not that increase in the population of the Colony that is generally supposed. Another point that is always being brought up is the matter of tonnage. Fortunately here we have statistics and there can be no mistake. As stated in the Secretary of State's despatch, in the year 1838 there catered 6,480,052 tons and cleared 6,300,000 But it must also be borne in raind that a large portion of this tonnage is merely passing through. We are more or less a Clapham Junction, and I do not think it is reason able to compare a colony like this to the Aus- tralian colonies alluded to in the Secretary of State's despatch. I may say that I have no desire whatever to appear over-pessimistic with re- ference to the prosperity of the Colony either in the present or the future. Neither do I base my argumenta on the fact that during the past few months we have been suffering from a period of depression. All colonies have their ups and downs, and it is only too true that the prosperity. of this colony has lately suffered what I may term a perpendicular drop, but I have no doubl that in time we shall look up again; but I think we ought to be moderate in our expectations and not induce olbers to suppose that all our geese are swans I may pay we as colonists are pre- pared to pay our fair share towards the protection of the colony's interests, and I think that bury previous history shows that we have no desive whatever to enjoy the benefits without incurring any of the responsibilities entailed by our con- section with the empire: But I do say this, that there is a limit; and that limit a far as this colony is concerned has been fully reached, and in the interests of this colony' I sincerely trust that Lord Knutsford will not call upon us to pay at any time for what we have not received,
The Colonial Treasurer. I just desire to add a few words to what the hon. member has said, entirely on the question of the comparison he instituted between the share of taxation paid by the Englishman for purposes of defence and the share paid by the resident in Hongkong, I quite agree with almost everything the hon. member has said, and especially as to the pre caution that should be used in spending our revenue. I have just had the pleasure of sending your Excellency a very satisfactory statement of the revenue of last year, showing a large increase, in the revenue and a decrease in the expenditure, But still, there are so many elements of uncertainty in the revenue here that we cannot think of saying that because this has beep the case in any particular year it will continue to be at. I wish, however, to confine myself entirely to the comparison the hon. gentleman made between the taxation here and in England. Of course if you take out the very poor class of the labouring popu lation and divide the amount of taxation by what I may call the pick of the population the result is you get a very much larger proportion, protect, having the same dangers to guard contribute towards the maintenance of an than if you spread your taxation over the whole against, having the same fights to préserve, and | additional half-dozen first class cruisers on ther population. Now, the hon. gentleman.says we having the same freedom, the same prosperity, station, assuring them at the same time that pay here gs. per head, that a matter of fact, and the same liberty to ensure (Mr. Ryrie Hongkong shall never to without at least three nil the persons who pay anything at all pay 91.-"Hear, bear.

It cannot be denied, think, that during the twenty-five years tha have elapsed since the year 1855 this Colony has, wonderfully increased in population, ir its resources, and in its prosperity. If such be the case it seems but natural that its protective power should also be increased and if its protective power be increased it follows as a matter of course that the expenditure con. nected with that protective power must also be increased. It may be said Hongkong exisis rather for Imperial purposes than for the benefi of those who reside here, but I do not think it can be denied there have been many--and J hepo there may in the future.be.many more who have accumulated wealth in this Coleny.

A few days after our last meeting of Council, when I intimated this question would be discussed to flay. The unff cial members of Counc approached me and intimated to me the course they considered it right on their past to take, and they informed me that after giving the master every consideration they would nas oppose the vote asked for by the Secretary of State if the official members would agree to the substance of certain resolutions which were then shown to me. I said I must have sente the time to consider the matter before giving a decided answer, and that would lay the matter before the Executive Council in ander to get the opinion of its mem- bers. This I did yesterday, and I'may now in for the Council we agreed the rearlutions were such as the official members could agree to and pass. Of course in a matter of this kind I can-columns, to protest most emphatically against the not control, as it were, the votes of the official members, but I can inform them that after giving the matter my best consideration I do not sce anything conisined in these resolutions to which the afficial/members can take objection. It appears to me that if this Council readily agrees to the incieased vote it undoubtedly does so on the assumption he gairison will be increased, and therefore I do not think the Secretary of State in turn a deaf-ear to the argument that has very properly been put forward, that if we readily perform our part of the bargain we should expect the home Government to perform their part: We have heard, and we may have read also, during the last few years a great deal about federation between the mother country and its different possessions which are spread far and wide over that vast empire, the British empire, on which the sun is truly said to never set.

The extra cost incurred in respect of an additional draft of soldiers for Hongkong should. fall, justly fall, upon the Imperial treasury.
