To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, in addition to the physical features of the country, there is another consideration that binds the trade of Western China to the B,iver Yanor-tsze. I have already said that the cotton plant does not flourish in Ssii-ch'uan, and that raw cotton and native cottons are largely imported by the province. Whence are they imported? From the Central Provinces of China, through which the Yang-tsze flows.
The only route to Ssu-ch'uan, Kuei-chow, and Northern Ytin-nan, is the Yang-tsze, on whose uppe...r waters a large trade in foreign goods is even now con- ducted, a trade which is capable of enormous develop- ment when the present burdensome taxation is reduced.
The opening of Ch'ung-k'ing by the ascent of a steamer PROBABLE REDUCTION OF TAXES. 223 — an event anxiously looked for by the native mer- chants of Ssu-ch'uan — will, as I have pointed out, reduce that taxation, and will enable millions, who at present look upon foreign goods as articles of luxury, to become themselves consumers ; and I trust the day is not far distant when the British flag will float over entrepdts of British manufactures throughout Western China.
