Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opium Traffic in Its International Aspects Early Chinese chronicles made no mention of the poppy and opium. Nor did the economic history of China previous to the Chin Dynasty make any reference to Opium or the poppy or its properties. The fact that the Chinese name for Opium is a mere translation of the sound of the English word shows conclusively that opium was entirely foreign to China until it was introduced. In the memorandum submitted to the International Opium Commission at Shanghai (1909) a statement is found to the effect that the poppy was known in China for twelve centuries and its medicinal use for nine centuries.3 But authentic Chinese history does not support this. Statement. The poppy was known in ancient times. Homer and other Greek writers made frequent mention of the peculiar intoxicating properties of the poppy. Roman writers such as Virgil, Livy, Pliny, and Ovid, described it as being used for various purposes.4 Dr. D. I. Macht stated that the poppy was first found in Asia Minor and then trans planted in Greece, and that the Arabs introduced opium to the natives of Persia and India.5 But Dr. Nathan Allen holds a contrary Opinion, saying that the poppy has its origin in Persia.6 From these two authoritative statements, it is clear that the poppy was imported into China from foreign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opium Question Before proceeding to detail the immediate occur renees out of which the present question has arisen, it may be as well to intimate generally that the British Opium Trade between India and China, which had been carried on, for upwards of forty years, under a nominal, if not an actual, prohibition, - became, within the last three years, the object of very strenuous opposition on the part of the Chinese, on grounds which will be clearly explained hereafter. The pro posal to legalize the trade, was, in the latter end of the year 1886, seriously entertained, but at length abandoned, by the Emperor; the former circumstance giving a great impetus to it, -encouraged, too, as it was, by the highest provincial authorities in China, to whom it yielded a large revenue. In the years 1837 and 1838, measures of rapidly-increasing strin geney and vigour were pointed by the Chinese at the traffic, the aspect of affairs becoming every day more threatening. No steps, however, appear to have been taken towards foreigners, till the 12th of December, 1838; on which day preparations were made by the Chinese authorities for strangling a Native Opium dealer in front of the F actory - an act to the foreigners most offensive and unprecedented, and which led to a brief stoppage of the trade.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crisis in the Opium Traffic: Being an Account of the Proceedings of the Chinese Government to Suppress That Trade, With the Notices, Edicts &C., Relating Thereto I have heard that you foreigners are used to attach great impor tance to the word good-faith.' If then you will really do as I, the high commissioner, have commanded, - will deliver up every par tiole of the opium that is already here, and will stay altogether its future introduction, as this will prove also that you are capable of feeling contrition for your offenses, and of entertaining a salutary dread of punishment, the past may yet be left unnoticed. I, the high commissioner, will in that case, in conjunction with the go vernor and lieut.-governor, address the throne, imploring the great emperor to vouchsafe extraordinary favor, and. Not alone to remit the punishment of your past errors, but also - as we will further request to devise some mode of bestowing on you his imperial rewards, as an encouragement of the spirit of contrition and wholesome dread thus manifested by you. After this, you will continue to enjoy the advan tages of commercial intercourse; and, as you will not lose the cha rueter of being 'good foreigners, ' and will be enabled to acquire profits and get wealth by an honest trade, will you not indeed stand in a most honorable position?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Against Opium: The International Anti-Opium Association Peking The greatest, evil from which China has ever suffered has been tho Opdum traffic. Anyone who becomes a victim of this habit, especially if ho bo a young man, will lose valuable tame, ruin his work and spoil his health, and when tho haibit becomes Stronger it is almost impossible to break it. He will sell Ins property, even to his wife and children, for tho sake of buying opium. The evil of the morphia traffic is if possible even greater. Persons who tako to these drugs not only endanger their health, but ruin their reputation and business. The race and blood of tho country are also affected. Therefore, when 1 was the Tutuh of Hupeh Province, 1 ordered the officials of various districts to search for opium and bum it, and the opium so destroyed was value*! at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not long after I received reports that the morphia traffic was spreading. I ordered the arrest of all who were selling morphia, nnd shot- one man as a warning bo others. In this way I attempted to eradicate the evil from China. For any one addicted to opium has no virtue, and shrinks from 110 illegal action. T feel extremely sorry that the people have lost their virtue through opium, and will support any effort to suppress it. The Pekinu, Tientsin Times has conducted a campaign against this evil, and published a Black List to waita the public. I am always interested in this paper, for its enterprising actions, and therefore I have gladly written tho above words to congratulate this paper and to express my best wishes for China.
