The Opium Trafflo, The preepeet 3if putting an end to the viten traffic 111 belie is not en bright its it seemed et month ago, 110 )ten the House of Cominons, by a vote of 10 to Me, pitesee resolution that the Indian Governmeet should cease to greet licenses for the eel ii• vation of the poppy, and take measures to prevent the traneit 01 elalwah opium through English territory. The member who introduced this resolution has since ex. pressed himself as °merely 8iLlisfiod with the declare tion of the First lord of the Trea- sury that the policy of Off: flevernment bad been toward a steady reduction of the quantity of land placed under poppy diet. vation, and that thee policy would be per- severed within the future. In other wort's, the Act of Parliament was little more then a harmless expression of ii philanthropic sentiment. The great " praetical" objec• lion to its execution 111111.8, of course, the loss of revenue which would result. Those, however, to whom duel en objection is not tsli.sullicieet attempted to show that moral. ity and selaintereet were on the same side. The London "Spectator," for example, insisted that if the opium eraffic were pro. hibited in India, the coarser and more poisonous opium of Smyrno would take Its place. This ergnmeet would have seemed to us a stronger une had not the " Spectator" followed it ep with the de. claration that in a few years "en Americen syndicate world import. Indian poppies into Florida, prepare the juice as carefully as the Opium Departmed 13as always done, and divide a profit, ne tee Indian Govern. ment does, of five or six hundred per cent." 111 Ot1141 1VOrd$, the English Government should corainue in an immoral business in order to prevent this rernute chance that some Americans would take its place. In. stead of simply suffering to prevent others suffering,Eughsh eltrutem has reached the point of sinning to prevent others sinning Yet the morality of this propoeition is not more grotesque than that of Sir Lepel Griffin, formerly opium agent in Central India. This old -school gentleman writes to the " Times " that " the outcry against the opium trade is the most conspicuous modern instance of the wicked intolerance of the fanatics who are willing to commit any ee• travagenee and impoverish 'millions for the gratification of thew own selfish vanity," and supports this vigorous pieee of denun- ciation on the ground that the $25,000,000 amnia/ revenue is raised without burdening British subjects at ell, inasmuch as tile opium is sold entirely to the Chinese. 'The ethics of this reminds its of a story toled by Dr, Trumbull of to minister wile saw °lie of his country parishioners picking toadstools, and upon expostnletion with 11101 received the answer that he was " not picking them to eat, but picking them to sell."
