HONGKONG, MONEY, AUGUST 3, 1883.
THE WAR TAX AT JANTON. Some months ago we gave a few particu- lare of the Lakin or War Tax levied upon. various classes of goods in Canton. To a non-Chinese mind it will appear strange that, now the Franco-Chinese war is oror, the War Tax should still be levied, instead of being reduced or abolehed. But, so far as the Metal Trade is concorned, suck ap- pears to be the case. It is difficult to gather correct data regarding the native taxes even in a plase so near to us as Cantor. The Guilds, when they find it is useless to alato the official exrrent, make common cause with the officials, incanuch as they farm the Lekin and collect it themselves; and but a small chance remaine for independ Straits Settlements.ent native traders (if sich, indood, exist) * Sweden.

And in spite of the muc- cessful application of this system in the North, it is generally supposed that ile ad- vantages are as far off as ever from the foreign merchant in this part of the Empire. Some gleams of latest have occasionally appeared regarding it in connection with one energetic firm, but beyond reference in the Report of the Chamber of Commerce and voluminous correspondence, nothing of -a dufirita, nature or a practical result seems to be reached.
