China's Land Tax.

As to the means by which this desirable result is to be realized, the unparalleled benefit that has accrued to the salt revenge from Sir Richard Dane's administration. provides the main answer. Even if China had any doubts after what she had seen in the case of the Maritime Customs, the sucсBEB that has attended the collection of a purely native tax under foreign cupervision should remove the Inet eatige of them. We fear, though, it may be long before the Government will have the courage of the convictions to, which it muat have surely yielded by now. It was only sheer necessity that forced it to put the salt tax collec- tion under foreign supervision; and, even though it realizes that nothing but good would come from such a course, it is scarcely. to be hoped that it will be in a harry to benefit from the lesson that Sir Richard Dane has taught it-too many worthy officials would lose their char ce of making. a fortune. What is far more likely to happen, supposing the present idea of rovision is persisted in, is that a bast of minor deputies will be appointed to organize" the various distriote, and will gain great glory by reporting an increase of 50 per cent. or so while they enrich themselves at the taxpayers' expense.
