What China has a right to demand, and what our country is bound to concede, is to be treated an equal. Self-respect, the duty the owes to ber people, and the position which she desirea to maintain among civilized stater, impore on her the accessity of contending for reciprocal concessions.
In view of these considerations, le seems that the unsatisfactory and anomalouerelations which now exist, might be corrected by an immigration reciprocity treaty, fixing the number of the citizens of each state, to be admitted to reside in the other. Undabitably difficulties will attend the solation of the embroglio on these lines, but the statesmnship of the two countries is not likely to find them insurmountable. A modus vivendi can surely be devised on some basis of this kind.
As regards Americans in China they do not sprechend that the threats of reprisals that they have heard nee well-founded, and, yet they re solicitous that the land in which they reside should feel that its honour is not impuged by their country. With unprecedented unanim ty. citizens, official, secular and missionary, concur in these views.
