HONGLAND, February 24th, 1900. The fact that America has taken up the question of the Open Door in China is, to a certain extent, a security that Tariff Revision will not be lightly passed over; bat by far the most exantial thing in this connection is that accurate and clear inform ationi an the point should be conveyed to the public England and America, more especially in the former conatry where the absence of Castona duties on the great bulk of artistes of every day consumption embles interested parties we advecate views which would not be so readily received in America. We have no hesitation in saying that the tour of the Chinese Minister through Britain has one aŭú and object, and that is to pave the way for an increase in the Tariff with- out an adeguate quid pro quo on the part of Ching.
