Struggled opium drifts naturally into those
channels that lead to its vicious and harmful use
Dutypaid opium is also thus used to large ex-
tent. but the smugged article is almost wholly
for that market Indeed, without that market
there would be little smuggling
There are restrictions placed upon the sale of
opium and its derivatives. but these restrictions
cannot well be made to apply to what is contra
band anyhow and liable to confscation wherever
found Neither national nor state government can
ticle that neither is able to find. So smuggled
opium naturally follows subterranean channels
and reaches those who would have difHculty in
buying openly. The very fact that 1t is contra
band compels 1t to seek this market, and the very
fact that this market is under the ban of the
law compels 1t to depend largely upon the contra
band article. The fact that 1t is cheaper than
the duty-pad article also commends 1t. but that
is merely incidental
Struggled opium 1t is for the most part that
supplies the opium 'joints." and the Joints" not
only cater to the smugged article. but create
the habits that make the demand for It.

but the effect was soon apparent; he
began slipping backward = down
down, down-much more rapidly than
he had climbed up. In short time
he was out of politics. and a little
later he was out of business. The
foundations of success, that he had
laid with such labor and pains, crum-
bled away; he became a "fiend,"
pitiable wreck of an able man, a by
word and u joke among the more
thoughtless Of those who knew him.
In time he reached a point where

would lend" him anything from
nickel to dollar. So strong was the
instinct of the man in him, even then,
that he would accept nothing as

makeshift of entering every loan"
