TONKIN NOTES.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
HAIPHONG, May ard. Up to the present the attention of the Gover nor General has been given entirely to the difficulties arting out of the deplorable state of our finances, and we do not doubt that, with his well-known firmness and ability, he will succed in patting them la order. But although it ta' very useful and necessary that the ravenues should be recured and ñor progress sest on an
asured foundation, nevertheless there is other work for a Governor General to do. He ought to endeavour to promole and to favour private enterprise without which the resources of the country can never be opened up and mide available. Unfortunately, so far he has done nothing in this direction. Instead of alding private enterprise one is almost lead to the bellef that the administration find a pleasure in opposing and stifling it, and this, bec, for the French Government, the colony is not a colony in the true sense of the word as defined by Adam Smith, but a pretext, an opportunity for the nomination of an army of hungry function. aries. Of Tonklu this is absolutely tran. It is peopled only by officials.
This policy costs the mother country very dear and the Colony finds Imposed upon It, to relieve the burden, all sorts of heavy charges under the
weight of which it fairly perishes. These charges take the form of Indirect taxes and Customs duties of an almost infinite variety, cossting fees, mocharsge passes, entrance and clearing charges, overseers, guards, transit fees, all kinds and sorts of impositions from which the owner of merchandise cannot escape. They are the merest formalities that afford pretext for extortionate charges. They are of no practical value: but the expenses mount up to an enormous figure, and thus goods find themselves laden with an additional to per cent, for these colla. teral charges over and above, the Customs
duties properly so called. The immediate result of all this is to lessen the consumption of many articles and to add considerably to the cost of living. To give an example: the use of petroleum bas so far diminished as to make a sensible differ ence in the Custom's seceipts from that article. The Annamites no longer usa it as they did. They have entirely given it up or usa li fa much smaller quantities, and It is the same with
very many articlesof everyday use, which'while cheap, were in constant demand by the natives, but since the last rise in the Custom's charges and fees of office, are either going out of use among them entirely or are only used in daily diminishing quastliles.
One can only deplore this want of common sense, this absence of all high patices of economical science on the part of the Govern-
