The Opium War
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

TT was fifty-five years ago to-
/ day-May 25, 1s57-that Com
modore Elliott completely de-
stroyed the Chinese fleet and
brought to a close the Second
Opium War" between China and
Great Britain.
1t is safe to say that OF all the
wars that have been waged since
wars began. the opium wars of
England against China were the
most infamous. Never will Eng
land be able to wipe that stain
from her escuteheon. As long as
she endures she will have to bear
the crowning disgrace and shame
of having done her best, for sim
pie greed S sake, to destroy the
physical and moral manhood of
nation of four hundred millions of
souls.
Opium smoking was first heard of
IN China in the fourteenth century.
In la29 there was an edict issued
prohibiting the use of the drug
and ordering the closing of the
smoking dens. Late in that CEN
tury, In consequence Of the British
East India company IS pushing its
the habit took root in all parts of
that there was money in it, and
never let up. The total gain to
England from her Indian opium
between l773 and 1906 has been
estimated at two thousand one hun
dred million dollars.
About 1910 the Chinese emperor
became alarmed at the inroads or
the poison, and ordered his imperial
viceroy at Canton TO put down the
trade, The viceroy's efforts
brought him into collision with the
English traders, and the destruc-
tion of ten thousand chests of
opium precipitated the first opium
war, which ended in England 3

the traders for their losses. Then
came the second opium war, result.
ing in the infamous treaty of Tien-
tsin, which bound the government
Of China not TO interfere with nor
limit the introduction Of Indian
opium into the empire.
The use of the drug spread with
appalling rapidity, but the imper-
ial government was helpless. Chris
tian England had China by the
throat and would not let go, as she
was making millions year out of
the drug. Finally, however. the
imperial government of China, see
ing the wreck and misery that the
habit was causing, issued the ia
nous edict of 1906. commanded
that the growth, sale and con-
sumption of opium should cease in
the empire within ten years-the
opening gun in what is undouhted-
" the most extensive warfare on
vicious private habit that the
world has ever known.
And, marvellous to relate, the
cdict promises TO make good. The
people are coming out of thedr

public sentiment, entered into an
agreement last spring with the
Chinese government, whereby she
consents to the imposition Of
higher duty on opium. agrees not
to convex opium to any province
of China which has suppressed the
cultivation and import OF native
opium, engages to cut down the
exports of opium from Indin until
the complete extinction Of the
trade in 1917. and promises to give
the Indian trade its death-blow
before 1917 in case proof is re-
ceived that the production OF
opium in China has ceased.

Fight for Control of Markets Is
Victory for Great Ameri-

STOCKHOLM, oct. 5.-The war for
the control of the oil market in the
Scandinavian countries has resulted in
practically complete victory for the
STANDARD Oil Company. The only con-
cession obtained by the scandinavian
association from the big American
company was that the price of oil in
scandinavian territory should not eX-
coed the price asked in any other Euro
pean country
The Standard Oil Company obtained
an entrance into the country by an
agreement with existing interests to
take over the distribution system for
oil in Scandinavia.
There was much opposition to the
scheme by the Small Dealers associa
ton, which passed a resolution in favor
of government intervention to prevent
the establishment of Standard Oil
monopoly in the Swedish market
The Austrian minister made every
effort to secure the admission to Swe-
den of Austrian oil which has been
kept out by the Swedish safety regula -
tions, as it does not meet the require
ments for safe transport being too
light.
