Excerpt from England, China, and Opium: Three Essays, Reprinted, With Slight Alterations, From the Contemporary Review The following pages are a reprint, with slight alterations, of three papers which appeared in the Contemporary Review of February, 1876, June, 1877, and January, 1878. The papers were the result of an independent endeavour on my part to ascertain the real right or wrong of our relations with China and the Opium Trade. They were written in entire independence of the anti-opium Society: but they are now reprinted at the instance of the Committee of that body (the anglo-oriental Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from British Opium Policy and Its Results to India and China A word or two may be permitted here in explana tion of the author's dislike to the opium monopoly. An able writer in the Contemporary Review (feb, 187 6) urges that the wickedness lies, not in raising money from opium by monopoly rather than by tax, but in encouraging the production of Opium, and in compelling the Chinese to admit the opium thus pro duced. The author admits that the monopoly powers now possessed by the Indian Government might conceivably be used for exactly the contrary purpose to that for which they have been and are used, viz. To prevent, instead of to provide for export to China. It is also possible, on the other hand, that the Indian Government, if dispossessed of the monopoly, might encourage the production of, opium by private indi viduals for the sake of revenue. Therefore, if such a change should ever be proposed by the Govern ment, it will be needful to watch the process, for the purpose of preventing the public being deceived by a sham reform. Nor will it be wise to expect from any such change a substantial and permanent relief of the Chinese. The Chinese themselves must put down 'the opium trade in China. Our business is to remove the obstacles we have placed in the way of their doing so, and to encourage and assist them in contending against the vice to the best of our ability. While so far agreeing with the Contemporary, the author nevertheless cannot recant his profession of political faith. To his mind, promotion of an evil and permission of an evil are not the same thing, either in the case of an individual or of that collection of individuals called a Government. There are evils which we cannot wisely interfere with, but which it would be shame for us to encourage. Besides this theoretical objection, there is a very grave practical objection to the monopoly. As the Marquis of Salisbury pointed out to the deputation the other day, by means of the monopoly the Government secures for itself the merchants' profit as well as the tax. The trade never having been in private hands from time immemorial, there is no class of persons deprived of an advantage which they miss through the prohibition of private trade. Hence it has happened that the Government of India has been able to extract millions from China without their own subjects feeling the pressure at all. The temp tation has been irresistible, and the writer fears. It will be irresistible unto the end. So long as that monopoly endures the Indian Government will work it, as they have hitherto worked it, to enrich their treasury, regardless of the consequences to China.
