While I entirely agree with you that China is a great country, as far as her people, as distinguished from her officials, are concerned, while we all think that her tradal possibilities are vary great, we believe that for the last generation and more such advantages as we have, apart from those which we have lately acquired through the Japanese (bear, hear), have been acquified for the most part by Beitiak merchants for themselves, and we regret that the officials of this country have not been prevented, from the highest to the lowest, from placing all the obstacles they pleased in any paths of ours, except those which lead backwards.

This is the third time that I have had the great pleasure of meeting the China Association within the last few weeks-first, as you well know, in London, then again in Hongkong and then again here to-night, and I for one can say that though their numbers may be limited, as was stated in the speech in Hongkong, their. kindly good feeling and cordiality are altogether without any limit whatever, and I am sure my friends here to-night will agree with me in that, Gentleman, la addressing the members of your reminding them of the noble legacy which has been handed down to us here in the Far East by our forefathers. Gentlemen, it was not for me to remind them of this.

And I ask, are we to all down and see the gay pass by?. I, for one, say, No1 (Loud and prolonged cheering.) But if this Is not to be, and it is not to be (hear, hear), I say we must gird up our loins for the struggle that is before us—for the struggle that is now going on around us. There was time when our supremacy here in the Far East was unchallenged. Gentlemen, those days have changed, and we have here very keen compet itors in our European neighbours. We munt stand shoulder to shoulder, not in any spirit selfishness or agressiveness, but as one family, of which I have spoken. (Cheers.)
