A SMUGGLER'S PARADISE

(From A Tientsin Correspondent) A by-product (about which little has been said) of the disturbed conditions in North China has been the growth of smuggling. It is carried ca with an open audacity which would make Sir Robert Hart turn in his grave, and on a scale which not only de- frauds the Chinese Government of much revenue, but threatens to ex tinguish several lines of foreign trade. Tientsin merchants, Chinese and foreign, who have stocks of sugar and artificial silk, two of the principal commodities in which snuggling is highly profitable, fiad the their
because trade
gone market is flooded with smuggled 'stuff which has paid no duty.
The contraband usually reaches Tientsin by freight train in the ordinary way, consigned from some of the smailer coastal towns on the Mokden-Peking railway
