found their way into the bottomless waste-The as. Fernfald, from New York, loft paper baskat. Repeated efforts have been made to obtain a categorical reply from the Government but beyond a promise to study the subject we have observed no public announcement in our Tonkinese contemporaries tending to show that the Government has resolved to adopt of reject the proposals submitted by the Chines merchants and supported by the Hanoi Chamber of Commerce. What the Chinces suggested as likely to increase the user-frontier trade was a reduction of the tarif de plombage (Custom-house- ratos) and the construction of examination go downs or warehouses at Lackay, where bales and packages of goods could be open- od for verification without being exposed to
the sun and moisture, and the quality of
the goods thereby deteriorated. On the Bubject of tariff there can be only one opinion. Custom-house tariffs should be reduced to the lowest possibla scale. Desirable as this is in populous countries, where laxuries may be heavily taxed with out pressing unduly on the masses of the population, it is an essential in sparsoly populated and newly exploited countries like Tonkin, which cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, bo spoken of ae a SC cessful, Colony.
