The Russians are to be congratulated on scoring a great diplomatic success in respect of the reduction of Customs dues on Imports from and exports to Russia by the new railway, and it is a question whether the thanks of all foreigners Interested in the trade with China are not due to the shrewd representa- tive of the Tsor in Peking who, ever on the alert to strike when China should be unable to refuse to consent to his overtures, however, unpleasant, has thus obtained a great concession. that may be rendered beneficial to all nations, In view of the fact that the "most favoured nation" clauses of the treaties can, no doubt, be made operative in the premises. It would be manifestly unfair, and opposed to the split of the favoured nation" clauses of the treatles to admit Russlan goods one-third lower than sea-borne goods and levy the usual dues on all sea-borne goods at the same time,

payable at the Chinese Custom Houses on goods imported and exported by steamers, than the British Minister should decline to discuss any further the proposal of the Chinese Government to raise the import duties from 5 to 10 per cent ad valorem. That, in our humble opinion, is the least that can be done under the circumstances, and that even could hardly be regarded in the light of a guid pro quo. There is much talk about concessions being due to Russla for the "assistance" she gave China to get the Japanese out of Laotung Peninsula, but we never hear about what is due to Great Britain as the price of her neutrality at that critical epoch. Was it worth nothing at all?
