THE CHINESE OPIUM TRADE.

Lord Derby lately delivered in the Bri-
fish House of Lords, very able and very
plausible speech on the British Government
of India. Nor was it by any means des-
titute of those large and far-reaching views
which distinguish the true statesman from
the mere dabbler in public affairs. For in
stance, he held up as an end to be pursued
in the administration of India, that the
people should be trained to manage their
own concerns, and that quite as rapidly as
they became capable of self government the
night of governing themselves should be
conceded. But there was not as much of
this sort of thing as there might have been,
were the gifted Earl not so exclusively
British and more cosmopolitan and humane
in his ideas. He maintained, what we
believe to be quite wrong, shat the Indian
people are better off on account of British
domination than they were before it, or
would now be without it. But in the
whole course of his long speech he did not
have occasion to allude to one of the most
important and considerable sources of the

manufacture of liquid poisons and their sale
in quantities of thirty gallons or over for
expectation from the State. This is very
wropg-is shameful. If the people OF
Massachusetts, know that Alcoholic bever-
ages are pernicious, are poisonous, they
surely ought not to be willing to make
money by manufacturing them for andvend-
ing them TO others who don't know 1t, and
who. believing them innocent if not salu-
tory, will be induced to swallow them.
But it must be considered that many who
voted for the act did so rather from saluta-
nv fear of their constituents than from pro-
found convictions Of right and duty. They
knew that they must vote for some sort OF
Maine Law, and they did, drawing it as
mild as possible. So let us be thankful tor
what has been vouchsafed US.
Now, Temperance men Of Massachusetts,,
see that you sustain this act at the polls by
an overwhelming majority! 1t has faults,
but defeat will not cure them. Rather
stand by to confirm it; then join hands to
enforce it; afterward choose legislators to
amend and perfect it. Do not mind the
babblement of its enemies and yours, who
will seek to take advantage of weaknesses
forced upon it by themselves to make you
vote against it but stand by the principle
now, and you will have fewer enemies to
fight hereafter. Every grog-shop closed
under this law, will be an enemy's gun
spiked for all future contests. Hold on to
so much good as is within your reach |!

II The Albonu Argus seeks TO Offset the

-
Wig Apportionment of this State for Congress
against The lac Apportionment Of Ohio by its
own party. We challenge a comparison. The
arest recent test of the strength of the rival par
ties in the two States was the Election of 1874,
when Ohio went for Clay by 5000 and Newly ork
for Polk by 5000 majority. We have not made
the comparison; but venture the assertion
that, taking that vote as the standard, the Wings
have not taken to themselves over Is of the 80
Districts in this State while the Loco-Focos of
Ohio have taken not less than IL and probably ii
or 10 of the 81 Districts of Ohio. Dare The ar
gus make the scrutiny invited or can it suggest
an ordeal more conclusive
The Argus instances the formation Of the
XVllth District in this State by the union of 81.
Laurence and Herkimer Counties, in proof Of
Wing Gerrymanderng in our State; and we con-
fess that that does seem like sharp practice Having
figured some on an Apportionment before we left
Tor Europe last year, but nothing like this. we
asked an Albany friend after our return how such
District came to be made. He REPLIED las we
understood himl that it was suggested by the
HEnkers, who didn't want st. Lawrence and Herki-
mer to control two Districts and send two Barn.

would be joke if the managers of The Argus
who now cite that District as an evidence Of Wh;g

MAINE LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS,

The Grog-shop Suppression bill, for some
weeks pending before the Legislature of
Massachusetts, passed the House yester-
day by 20 majority, and is by this time a
law. as Gov. Boutwell's signature was at
no time doubtful. So Massachusetts, ranks
next to Maine and Minnesota in the sup
preston of the Liquor traffic.
We regret to say that the Massachusetts
act Is far inferier in consistency and eff
cheney to that of Maine. It permits the

British East Indian revenue. We mean
the Opium Trade with China. This omis-


the Opium Trade with China. This omis-
sion we briefly supply as follows:
The East India Company monopolize the
culture and sale Of Opium in every part of
India except the district of Malwa. Ac-
cording to a report made in the House of
Lords in 1880 the profits of the monopoly
were sf1, 100000 yearly, but this tgure'
even if correct at that time, is so no longer.
In order to destroy the competition OF the
Malwa Opium the Company impose on that
a transit duty of nearly so per cent? as
in order to get to market it has to pass
through the territories where the monopoly
is in force. The value of the Malwa Opium
cropis SlO,OOO,O00 a-year, all of which, or
nearly all goes to China, of course paying
to the Company duty of S5OOO,OOO. The
Company's own crop is sold at monthly
auctions, where the Malwa Opium dealers,
mostly native Indians of great wealth, are
heavy bidders and buyers. In order to
prevent the article from falling to rate
which would ruin their own home produc
ton, these gentlemen are in the practice of
running up the price at these auctions so
high that the buyers cannot undersell them
in the Chinese market. From this source
alone in the year 1851, as we learn from
reliable authority, the Company derived
revenue of Sl5,OOO,OOO over and above
what would have been fair profit on the
raising and curing of their opium. This
shows that the annual gains of the Com
pany on this pernicieus drug alone must at
moderate estimate be S2l,000,000. We
presume that they greatly exceed even that
enormous sum.
If we are to Judge as to the character of
this traffic by the extent of evil it produces,
it must be pronounced far more inhuman
than the slave trade. That branch of COM
.merce, when in full activity, transported
about 1000 negroes annually to America.
But the Opium trade does more than that.
1t spreads vice, disease, immortality, ruin,
death among millions. And when the Chi
nese rulers, seeing the fearful consequences
of Opium eating, prohibited and sought to
stop the import as any wise and patriotic
rulers must have done, the mighty and phi
lanthropic empire of Great Britain made
war upon them and forced them, on pain of
national destruction, to open the gates OF
their country to this abominable trade.
We are no believers in national recrimi
nation, ard know of no people so perfect
that it can afford to devote itself to show
ing up the sins of its neighbors. But, as
little as we would apologize for slavery in
the United States, we must say that as
long as England makes twenty odd millions
of dollars a year out of the Opium trade
with China, she has no great right to hold
up her hands in holy horror at any national
wrong committed on this side of the At
lantic.
