THE GUILD SYSTEM OF THE
FAR EAST
of the various institutions which nursed the carly political life of Europe, none, perhaps, exercised greater influence than the Medieval Guilds. Formed for commercial and other purposes, they grew to power by enfranchis in themselves from feudal limitations and the process affected the whole course of European history. Roued the Guilds centred the life of medlieval towns, and it was in the: towns that men learned the art of co-operation for definite political ends. On the Continent, this early training look long to produce

REMOVING CHINESE GRAVES,
An unusual and one might say interesting sight, says the Singapore Free Preis, bearing in mind the circumstances, can only be seen at the fool of Tanjong Pagar Road at Kreta Ayer, where in pursuance of the resolation recently. passed In Legislative Council the graves of departed Chinese are now being opened up and the remains of ancestors removed to other sites.
The scene is not altogether 'void of pathos and is ons"which again brings to the fore the respect the average Chinaman has for his
ancestors.
Some of the graves are being opened in the presence of many friends both male and female, well-dressed and evidently of the upper classes, whilst the pathetic may be seen in other cases where two young coalies with a solitary broken "changkal" between them take it'in turns to turn over the sods to
To all Europeans in China these facts are of the greatest interest, because, on the one hand, China is struggling towards a Constitution, and on the other, the Guild Bystem has, for centu- ties, been one of the salient features of the life of the Far East, in Japan, it dates from the 14th and 19th centuries when the Ashikaya | Shogune sulad in Kyoto, and monopolies of all the principal staples were sold to associations of merchants at prices highly remuncrative lo the Government. The guilds so formed were joint-stock corporations, the shares of which were transferable by sale, or bequeathable from father to sen. In the seventeenib century, a further development took place, when the kaka. ja or "agent" took over from the Samurai, plac | ed in charge of "store mansions," the business of converting into money the rice which formed the incomes of feudal chiefs Corresponding with the kaka ya of Osaka was the fade sash of Yedo, who exercised similar functions. from thehin ere organized into con these fude federations, each subdivided into six classes with six houses in each class. Finally, in the middle of the eighteenth century, the organica mongers of Yelo, and applied to nearly every fion of the Guild was borrowed from the fish
branch ofirade, to maritime enterprise and to operations connected with currency. In Korea the Pedlar's Guild dates back for centuries, and almost every commodity has been handled by similar associations.
But it is here in China that the Guild System is most worthy of attention. It origin is clearly given in the Constitution and By laws, of the Ningpo Guild at Werchow, which, in a' preamble, sys "Weikun were first establish and was mixed with Chinese red ink. The compattions or fellow provincials for mutual fowl was then put under a joss table and efter old and protection. Subsequently, merchants more incantations had been droned, the high formed Guilds like those of the mandarinate, priest mounted on a stool and dabbed the and now they exist in t very province.".
