Welcome News Indeed! Many Chinese merchants, while admitting that it is only fair and just to have solely a British our renoy in a British colony, contend that such a condition would indict a hardship upon them by reason of Hongkong's peculiar position in relation to China, Hongkong is, they say, a clear- ing house to a large extent and the bulk of the money which passe88 between the native and foreign merchants is necessarily Chinese subsidiary coins. Their view therefore is that it would be impossible to exclude Chinese coins and retain much of the trade of the port. The view is a narrow and selfisti one, for a British coin standard must be recognized as an obvious advantage over the present erratic system. The benefits of a smoothly working coinage must more than compensate for any possible temporary inconvenience to trade. Briefly stated the orux of the matter is this: A recog- nised, official coinage (and note issus) in the colony should not be equalled by, or threatened cam- petition with foreign, coinage, however convenient that foreign coinage may be.

The objections to likin are too well-known and too widely felt to need recapitulation; transit paasES are, to say the least, an unsatia factory expedient, for it has been but too well proved that they are. an inefficient protection to goods in Chinese hands in the interior ̈*:
it is always possible for a likin station to fabricate some tale of irregularity in the document or of an authorized sale en route, and- the unfortunate. Chinese: mer-" chant has either to pay the demands or be submitted to delay and possibly the loss of his market if he wishes to fight the charge, There is, moreover, a growing class of goods in which foreigners have the sole interest which it is impossible to protect by transit passes.

or raw materials are similarly purchased with foreign capital for use in foreign factories in China. These goods not being for ex- port are outside the scope of fact that they are the property of transit passes, so, in spite of the
foreigners, and are destined for foreign use, they have to be sub ject to the exactions of every likin station they pass. The absurdity is patent: raw materials purchas ed to be made up in China, so giving employment to Chinese labour and adding to the wealth of the country, are penalized as against those exported to foreign countries.
