Tie events OF last June have, however dispeled all
our premature dreams, and shown that we have
very arduos long and costly work to do before the dplo

be realised That work Is neither less han

must assemble large army and a powerful iect at
the mouth Of the Peiho and on other parts Of the
time. We must push forces into he interior and storm

pie Of the coast to those OF the Interior to soldiers aud
TO sailors, 10 old and 70 Young That lesson must be
sharp but il need not be cruel and its significance should
be- not that England powerful only but that she is Just
and reasonable. That she will insist treaties being
fulfilled; but that, if fulfilled the Chinese have much
gain and nothing To lose by their intercourse with her
This s not consong prospect FOR Chancellor Of the

peace shall have come, Me pedBt Of China must PAY the
piper Even then the cost TO England will be great. but
not more, may well trust than will be compensated
By the advantages Of opening China for all TO the
commerce OF the world.

purposes OF war, and that fraction is not
concentrated, but scattered over a vast extent
