In die cussing this same question, the "Free Prea" says, one thing that will occur to Roy is that the bulk of the population, mainly Chi- nese, who found the excise revenue from opium are now to be relieved, when that commodity goes out of the warket, from contributing anything to the revenue at all, unless of course they, proceed, as indeed they are now doing in, a marked degree, to the substitution of alcoholic liquor for their former quota of opium, The levy of an in. come tax will in the main mean nothing else than the settlement of the old opium tax to the shoulders, to a great extent of a different class of the community. And so, the result will be that the non-oplum consuming classes will have to take over the burden of supplying the deficit produced by the opium. smoking classes being forcibly deprived of access to that commodity, and so be de- prived of any responsibility to contribute to the Colony's revenues in that way.
