FREE TRADE IN CHINA.
That May Be the Result of Lii
Hung Chang's Tour of
the World.

reports in circulation here
among people of the highest
authority which ifcorrect show
that the travels of Ii Hung
Chang in Europe are likely to
have in the immediate future a
most important effect upon the
policy of the Chinese govern
ment, and that the interior of
China will shortly be thrown
open 10 free trade.
When the great Chinese
statesman was in England an
official attached to his staff
said that the object of the
viceroy's tour was to sound the
European government regard
ing an increase in the customs
tariff Of China. He added that
it was understood that Russia,
Germany and France were
favorable to the increase, bat
that the marquis Of Salisbury
wanted time to consider the
matter. and that he had brought
forward several important coun-
ter propositions. What the
propositions OF Lord Salisbury
were is a question probably
known to bat few people. On
the other band, it is asserted
here by people who are in a
position to have accurate in
formation regarding the policy
of the Chinese government that
that the latter is inclined to
concede the conditions set forth
by Lord Salisbury, and that as
a preliminary agreement there
will be an increase in the tar
if, all transit dues in the in
terror Of Cbina will be abolish
Jed and later on free trade will
be established throughout the
Chinese empire. The prelimi
nary increase in the tariff is
looked upon as being necessary,
as a loan must be secured in
some manner, aud the customs
dues are regarded as being the
best security possible under
! the circumstances. It is also
intimated that if England az
vances the money required by
the Chinese empire he latter,
as a sort Of a borus, will place
orders for a number Of battle
ships, cruisers aud torpedo
boats Of various descriptions in
British shipyards; aud further,
British officers may be detailed
to reorganize the Chinese army
1t was at first proposed to en-.
, trust this task to German off
cers, bnt Ii Hung Chang, while
in Germany, was not successful
in driving the bargains he con
templaIed.
OF course, this is a decidedly
English view of the case anC
; may, be modified by future
events, for FeaI deal depend;
still upon The action Of Iii Hum
Chang when he returns tc
China and the nature of th;
report which he will furnish
for The decision of the emperor

which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
Ii will cure all Diseases caused by Derange-
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste il the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu-

Bowels alternately costive and lax; feadachei
Loss OF Memory, with a painful sensation OF
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, thick
yellow appearance Of the Skin and Eyes, dry
Cough often mistaken for CONSUMPTION.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and If not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched-
ness and DEATH wiz ensrie.
