Excerpt from The Indian Opium Revenue With regard to the opium trade little need be said. The exigencies of Indian Finance have identified the British Govern ment so closely with the trade in this article, that it has been accepted as one Of the branches of commerce in which honour able merchants may engage. It is unfortunate that its whole history, as regards China, should be such as one cannot look back upon with any satisfaction, and for an article which is having such a disastrous effect upon the natives to constitute about one-half of the whole import trade, by means of which we pretend to lead the Chinese to civilisation, is, to say the least.
