  On August 2 a proclamation was issued, giving notice that the authorities intended to collect certain taxes at Swatow on all imports of cotton yarn, raw cotton, and kerosene oil, as a purely temporary measure, in aid of the expenditure on forts and armaments. The rates given were these:- One kerosene oil, 2•8•8 mace (about 1s. 5 1/2 d.) per case of two tins; on cotton yarn, 2 mace (about 1s. 0 1/4 d.) per 133 1/3 lbs.; and on raw cotton, 1 mace (about 6 1/8 d.) per 133 1/3 lbs. It had for some time before been known that the Canton Government intended to raise money in this way, and intense excitement prevailed in Swatow. Anonymous placards warning the authorities were everywhere to be found, and in one of these it was argued that the taxation would be illegal, as the people of the district had, in the time of the former governor-general, Jui Lin, been promised by the Empress Regent exemption from likin as a reward for their services in keeping foreigners out of the region (but more probably as a bribe to the natives to withdraw all opposition to their entry into Ch'ao-chow-foo, the right to frequent which city was tardily secured in Jui Lin's time.)

    官府在8月2日发文,坚持对经由汕头港进口的一切棉纱、生棉、煤油等商品征税。此措施完全是临时性的,征税目的在于贴补守城及器械所需军费。公布税率如下:煤油:每2听8钱(约 1s. 5 1/2 d.) ,棉纱,每133又1/3 磅2钱,(约1s. 0 1/4 d.),生棉,每133又1/3 磅1钱(约 6 1/8 d.) 。此前很长时间,人们即已得知广东官府决意采取这种筹款方式。汕头当地群情激愤。匿名的传单出现了,指责官府处处伸手,或质疑征税的合法性。当地人早在前两广总督瑞麟当政时,就已承蒙太后恩典,蠲免厘金税捐,以奖赏他们将洋人拒之门外的功劳。(实际上,这种做法看上去还不如说是在买通当地人,好让他们不对进入潮州府的洋人加以阻拦。瑞麟在任时,洋人逐渐获得了自由出入潮州府的权力)。
    *括号里的含义尚不清楚,谁知道请解释一下。
