F S Turner of the Anglo Oriental Society argues in a 1879 letter that opium revenue is unreliable and should not be relied upon for India’s finance. He notes warnings by Gladstone and Duff about revenue uncertainty and cites Mark Stewart on China’s opposition. The letter urges steps toward ending dependence on opium revenue.
