that nowhore in the world are guilds or traile anious so vell organised and powerful This being so, it is easy to seo that, given proper leaders, imbued with something of tho Japaners religion of patriotism, it will not be a very long pe ceas for China to become a formidable Power.

The sooner we realise this and impress it on the minis of our statemen the better, for, al- though there ay not be any reason to four that bogey, the Yellow Perit in its generally accept- elease, yet there is a real danger that we may tose the great market for our maanfsetures which nt present exists in China, and which, provided our Ministers and legislators are long-sighted enough, may be preserved to as

The one, great thing that counts in China is prestige, and the nation which wishes not only to keep but to increases its prestige should be it. The complacent, philanthropic sinckness which can sit still and calmly allow competitors to sonteh material advantages away, and merely say that it is done for the benefit of the Chinese, not only not understood, but not believed in. The Chinese attribute this, rightly on wrongly. to no other thing than the weakness of im outpotenco, and to declining prestige.

Any one who puraass this study can easily use that China has been slowly educated by a succession of trials. Though she is slow to appreciate the real cause of each disastrous lesson, the effect has gradually forced her to realise that, if she is to remain an empire, she must be able to protect herself when necessary. and not trust to powerful neighbours.

The last attempt on her part to rid terself of the foreign devil and once more shut herself off from the outer world was the so-called Boxer Rebellion, a cleverly carrived plot of last wily and unscrupulous old lady the Empress Dowager and her party.
