The Chinese Government proposer to dis continue the likin duty and to increase the Cda... toma tarif in proportion, and also to improve the' present system of currency. As these reforms in China will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the trade of foreign countries, Just as tha.| Internal condition of Chica will also be bene-, fited, the U.S. Government undertakes to assist the Chinese Government towards facilitating the execution of the proposed scheme, at the. same time requesting the Treaty, Power to also give their support. The revenue of China from the likin duty appears to be morīgaged toʻ foreign banks in connection with a očkome for the construction of a great railway in China "It is evident that the foreiga Powers whose subjects or citizens bold Chloess railway boods, have a direct interest in the carrying. out of the proposed reforms in China. The railway boods held by the foreign Poweri and capitalists show that the open door" policy, which the Powers concerned are carrying tot practice with the co-operation of China, is being practically and actually applied. The connection of the Unked Stains with the Chi- nese reform scheme, it is considered, will be of great advaninge to America when these reforms. actually appear in tangible shape. The great American bankers who enjoy world-wide credit for their Immouse wealib, at once agreed to take up the railway bonds immediately the U. S. Government endorsed the Chinese scheme. The principal condition of the railway loan is: that the United States 'is to have an equal opportunity with other Powers Interested in the loan of supplying the necessary material for the j construction of the linn.
