Tlie vawt projrre. of China In recent yoar t Hot in a striking- lijrht in an article, "The March of tho Mongol," by W. B, Dunlop. Mr. Dunlop date the new niovemont' from tho period Boon aflor the mupproHslon of tha Tal plnfr rebellion, when the Chinese Gov ernment first ontablinhod tho Imporial maritime customs, which, under the' wino and energetic control of Sir Rob ert Hart, tho Innpoetor-ffonnral of cus tom at l)lclnj, has attained so re markable a development. It U sig nificant of tho nhrewdnew of tho Chi nese that they perceived the advan tage to he derived from dixmlsHlng' the native collectors and appointing trust worthy Werners in their room. The experiment was justified by a large and Immediate rise in the amount of the revenue from customs duties, which has ever Mince been steadily in croahln r- a considerable part of the tirpliiH having boon employed In erod ing lighthouses along tho immense ftcahoard of China, which lias now one of the best Ugh tod const in the word. It is a sign of the new spirit that guides tho counsels of tho Government that there have been erected during1 the last year or two many thousands of miles of telegraph wires radiating through the Krnpiro. It is now pos sible t telegraph from London to Peking or Chung King, tho principal town of the rich and fertile province of Hzechueh, a city nearly fifteen hun dred miles in the interior of the coun try. Meanwhile tho extension of tho Chinese telegraph system is, we are told, proceeding at a rate which may shortly astonish even American tele graphists. Kuilway extension Is more difficult and necessarily slower; bu against this has to be set the splendid system of internal water communica tion. The total coast trade In foreign built vessels outward and Inward amounted in 188C to the enormous sum of 17.Wt0.0ti0 tons. Here again the Chinese are well aware of the ad vantages to bo gained from employing foreigners. Only a certain portion of the foreign commerce of the Empire comes within the jurisdiction of the I imperial maritime customs; but this portion reached in 18HC the hitherto unprecedented amouit of 41.000.000 still a trifling amount when we con sider that China projier is estimated by the imperial statisticians, with the assistance of the beit native authori ties, to have a population of 389,000, 000 souls. ; The only practical obstacle to a trade of startling dimonslons'between China and the outside world soems lo be the old "Likin" system of internal dues, some notion of which may be derived from the fact that on the great west river trade route between Canton and Tese, n distance of 'M) miles, merchan dise is said to ha ve to run the gauntlet of nearly one hundred customs bar riers. The Government, however, has shown significant sigus of being alive to this evil, ivhiehlt has already mit igated to some extent. In the teeth of vested interests, by allowing the Likin charges in certain cases to be com muted by a fixed payment for a "transit pass." The improvement in the system of national defense is still more striking. Huge arsenals under foreign direction are springing up in various directions, and the vast army of China is being gradually supplied with weapons of tho latest pattern, while great battal ions are being incessantly drilled and disciplined by European oflleors. The Chinese navy already consists of twenty-six foreign built men-of-war, some of them large and powerful iron-dads, and ubout one hundred gunboats, built in the arsenals of the nnpire. Referring to the notorious industry and enterprise of tho Chinese abroad, Mr. Dunlop prophesies that when tho subjects of the Celestial Em pire enjoy under the now and more enlightened policy the same privileges and opportunities at home as are af forded lo them abroad there will be no room for doubt as lo what is to be the dominating power of the future in the fur east of Aria.
