aim and the motive of tire prohibition ? The Chinese
r ino m
are an industrious, saving, and patient people. Their
sobriety is great, they drink no spirits, and if the opium
which they smoke produces drunkenness, it is of an in•
offensive character. In all foreign countries where tecy
have established themselves permanently, and particu-
larly at Singapore, they have prospered in a remarkable
manner. Is the dislike they inspire to be attributed
perhaps to this very prosperity ? Are they detested,
envied, and deep
ieed on account of their fortune like the
Jews of the middle ages, whom they resemble in more
than on© feature ? Like the Jews of old, they remain
strangers to the customs and sentiments of the country
they inhabit. They return disdain for disdain, hatred
for hatred. They make money out of the country which
grants them heepitality, without bestowing on it their
affection. At times their love of money drives them to
theft, while their comoaercial skill is pushed to the ex-
tant of bad faith and low cunning. But since we have
at heart to reconcile China to our civilisation, since our
missionaries tend to propagate our faith, is it wise to
Persecute the Chinese ? Ought they not to be regarded
with indulgence ? Far from driving them away, we
should seek to inspire them with respect and esteem
for our ideas, and with friendship for oar persons."
The Siecle recommends the retail tradesmen of
France to abandon their present manner of con-
ducting business, and to adopt the system which is
described in the following passage :
"Let a hundred wine merchants, for example, who
purchase their stock in trade in small quantities, and are
consequently forced to put up with bad bargain', unite
their capital, and thereby obtain the most favourable
terms in the market. Their agent would stand on the
earns footing as the largest dealer; he would be enabled
to make his choice and drive an excellent bargain. The
goods would then be divided amongst the members of
the association, who would be in a position to sell then
at the same price as the most extensive dealer. The
same system may be applied to all retail trades. They
must only come to a proper understanding, for on
the day that they unite their capital for purchases,
they will become wholesale dealers, and everybody
will gain by the chap h e. Petty g capitalists seem to
