The importation of fruit has increased ten fold during the last twenty-five years, and amounted in 1860 to 6,820,000 lbs. . . • Russian manufactures cannot compete in point of cheapness with the productions of Western Europe, and are driven out of all the markets in which they meet." This, be it remembered, is a Russian statement.
Enough, it will be allowed, has been urged to prove that trade in Central Asia does certainly exist, and that it would be worth our while to induce merchants to bring... their wares into British India, and we may now proceed to take up the question of our own routes through the mountainous ranges which encircle our territory.
Trade enters India by means of Caravans from Candahar and the Cabul side, but it is not proposed to discuss this point of our line. In the approaching interview, which will take place between the Viceroy and the Ameer of Cabul this month, probably the interests of commerce will be furthered ; but the wild and fanatical tribes, which own but a nominal sovereignity to the Ameer, are ever on the watch, and heavy blackmail is enforced, before any caravan can pass on, into or out of India; nor can it be hoped that this state of things can be remedied for some time to come; and until a firm Government is established all along the line of the Indus.
