"on trade india"
"this article john stuart mill (1806-73) appeared in parliamentary review session of 1827. article concerns not issue of indian trade rather broader concept of free-trade. in commented:

may true merchants, resort thither, subjects of great britain; system exempts them share in expenses incurred convenience, boon, not them, consumer of goods, of carriers. whatever tax might imposed on them, paid customers savings purely nations of eastern asia. (mill, 1990, p. 8)

can observed, mill seemed none please costs incurred on east-india company (eic) keeping ports of singapore, malacca , penang free of charges , duties benefiting 'nations of east asia'. comes puzzlement since mill, utilitarian, should interested in achieving 'the greatest happiness of greatest number'; happy ones, in case, being 'nations of east asia'. such question comes mind: mill saying here because duty representative of eic protect financial interests?"
