We look upon the Government as, a necessary Frangement to keep order and encourage tradej nai x clique of men to whom governing and regulating is the great end of existence. Mr. Cowl Imsell; during his violi, admitted that the commercial aspect of the matter was too much lest sight of, in the pasalon. for playing at governing which seems to oppress the entire officiel bet.. This is especially policembic as gards the labour question. A coolle, however ha 1bly record, has only to ap. peal to the Protector or x Magħtrate to be at once treated as an ill-aved Asiatic.

struck, or any infringement of the unworkable laws occurs, the planter is the man to suffer. I am not an advocate for injustice or cruelty. In any way. But if the officials who so gĺibly accept the coolie es in lanocent would just try the control of soms oo or 600 coalies for a month, with a probibiiton of any resort to force ́or cerpasal punishment, they would alter their tune in quick time. No doubt in the early days there were cases of real cruelty, which when delected were properly punished. But, with the present class of men as managers and assistants, It is perfectly well known that this seldom or never occors. The present Protector (though we doall agree with all his decisions) has some keowledge of he matter, and at least sifis com plaints carefully, understanding some of the queer liegos spoken by the Chinese tilbes. But when we get a young gentleman whose Malay even is haling, the feathers fly !

Amongst other matters in which we out- alders abject is they everlasting desire evinced by the called "Government N lo infilct fresh xx or duties, It does not seem to strike a wise administrators that the one thing to encourage Chinese Immigration would be to make the landing place free ports" such a Hongkong or Slag pore: and that the influx of population and fis tax-paying powers would very soon coup the loss on rice and othe articles of colle consumption.

My own opinion is that the following are the principal causes of the ill success (dividend-wise) of the Company :-

(1) Extravagant expenditure, say $100,000 (or over) on useless war expedilɔns.

(1) A Government which markedly ignores be commercial aspect of affairs and prefers playing at Bossing everyiling, no matter who lores. A Government moreover which does not keep its promises.

(3) An unworkable code of laws, with six or eight men to do the work performed in a Colony by fo or 20

(4) An absolute want of the simplest means of rapid communication. About 10 steam launches (some of large size) would be required to do the work necessity. In place of tale, large sums *ie squandered in bling launches, and this in terferes largely with local enterprise.

(5) Injudicious taxation for's place where it is most desirable to attract people by better terms than they can get elsewhere.

(6) More encouragement to people willing to put money into ventures. A short time ago a friend of mine wished to take up some land for planting-well, no matter what.” So be called on the Land Officer and something like this
