Thas disappointinent will, therefore, be the greater if the present contemptuous attitude of the Chinese Government towards her soleman engagements be allowed to continue unrebuked or without protest, VAN

In support of the contention that essential stipulations are being made nugatory by the passive resistance or active hostility of Chinese aficials it iscaly necessary to refer to the history (inter alia) of Article II. (Curvency Raform)..": So far from ung steps being taken to carry into effect the engagement to provide for a uniform national coinage, provincial minta are being established all over the country and are issuing an almost unlimited coinage lacking in uniformity of value, weight, sto, making con- fnsion worse confounded, but yielding large profits to their proprietars.

The difficulties of carrying out Clause. II. ware sufficiently great two and a half years but if the existing state of things.be permitted to continue they will be multiplied ten fold.

Thespirit in which the question is approached by loading and influential Chinese cficials is wall eximplified in a Memorial Istaly presented to the Throne by Chang Chih-tung, Vicero, of the Hukuang provinces, against Professor Jenka's financial scheme..

In the preamble to Article VIII. (Likin Abolition) the Chineso Government recognises that the levying of likin and other dues on goods in transit, etc., impedes the free circula tion of commodities and injures the interests of trade. It is a matter of common knowledge that during the past two years the lan dues have besu izcreased in every direction and the delays God obstructions in the levying of these dues have been multiplied; the use of Transit pass:s bas been obstructed in every, possible way and illegal exäctions cu good

Judging the Chiness Government therefore by their arty rather than by their pious opinione, it is obriens that the impeding of the fres circulation of commodities and the injuring of the interests of trade are the main objects they have in view; these objects are not only opposed.. to the spirit and letter of the Treaty of Zhong- hai bat coupled with the opposition to currency. mining, and inland navigation reforms indicate a want of good faith and a cynical disregard of Ereaty engagements which are remarkable even
