One of the most important objects of Li Ilun Chang's tour around the world was to obtain the consent of the nations to an increase by China of her foreign tariff rates. Just what success the astute old statesman obtained is not yet known; but it is said Great Britain agreed to his prop osition on the condition that the "likm," or proyincial tariff, be abol ished. Chinese imports and exports pay a tcriff duty, but before produce from the interior enters foreign hands and before any extra provin cial produce enters native hands provincial duty must also be paid. "While the customs duties form the the chief part of China's total reve nuc, the "likin" is not an inconsider able contributor, and would be much greater but for the fact that the vari ous vicero3s and mandarins are en tirety free to squeeze as much as they can from the people. Besides the foreign customs duties and pro vincial duties, there are land, salt and rice taxes, the native customs and the license system. No part of the revenue is pub lished except that coming from mari time customs and the opium "liken." Under the new treaty between China and Japan greater freedom will be allowed to foreign traders and manu facturers, but Li Hung Chang says that they should contribute to the necessities of the Chinese exchequor. He proposes to allow the various viceroys to anange the duties levia ble at the place of production in Chinese produce; but with regard to machinery manufactures to tax all at the late of ten per cent ad valorem. If he obtains the consent of the na tions for an increase in the custom duties, the nations will insist in re turn on abolishing the "liken.'' If the present system continue, the Chinese foreign office may obtain its victory by taxing manufactures in China. Norway seems to have abandoned her free tiade ideas and come over to protection. A new tariff law has recently gone into effect, the aim of which is "to protect home protec tion," whereas the purpose of the old law was simply ':to provide revenue for the needs of the government. Norway has long been . a disciple ot the Cobden school of free trade, and has clung to her faith with charac teristic stubbornness, even when her sister nation, Sweden, re-established protectiou in 1888. During the last ten years, however, the protection sentiment has increased steadily and slowly among the farmers and manu facturers, until last year the Storthing appointed a tariff commission to frame a bill "to protect home pro duction." The report of the com mission was made public last May, ,und the bill soon became a law. The 'farmers obtain substantially all the protection they demanded. The new law, nowever, recognizes the benefits of commercial treaties with other countries, and, accordingly, the principle of reciprocity has been adopted.
