These parties differ in their programmes as political parties do in all countries, but all are equally Republican. " To those who think it is a reproach and a danger that the new men active in the government are inex- perienced, he replies, that the difference can be shown by com- paring them with the "corrupt princes and degraded eunuchs who were in power under the Manchu dynasty. " Given recognition by foreign governments, freedom from overt acts of predatory powers, and the right to increase... her own customs, now limited to five per cent. A right wrung from her by foreigners to secure their unholy indemnities China will pay all her obligations, no matter how unrighteous. The ruling char- acteristic of the Chinaman is honesty.

It is the most ancient piece of financial paper in existence, except- ing some duplicates, one of which I presented to the British Museum several years ago.
