statesmen with the appalling con-
sciousness that more Of learning
has been forgotten in Asia than
Europe ever vet achieved. Is it
any wonder that III the centuries
which follow, arts should be lost
and sciences forgotten; that the
people should degenerate mental
ly, morally and physically! Such
is the opinion of many as to the
present condition of the Aslatic,
who is only far down the hill
which we and our ancestors have
been struggling upward to sur
mount. We meet him now in the
depths.of poverty, his whole life's
labor scarcely worth pittance to
him, while we, on the other hand,
come III the full flush and glory of
prosperity, with Inflated values
and inflated wants for him to
minister to. The result is not diff
icult to foresee. Who ever yet
failed to flee from poyerty?' Not
only will he come, but one ques-
ton seems to actuate him, and
| that is, how to get here! In
crease and develop facilities for
his transportation, and Mr.. Tye-
Kim Orr's assertion, that Provi-
dence, has ordained him to ever
run the world, will soon become
a startling reality. Nowhere
upon the earth will he find wants
SO few and values so low as in the
country he leaves, and in obedi-
ence to that social law which bids
labor always seek the best mar
ket, he is defined to eventually
reach every hole and corner where
men live and toll, until the scale
of wants and values are equalized
Tall over the habitable globe.
We forbear to fellow the sub
t.ieet further. We might open a
still darker phase in the distant
future, rounding off the triumph
OF the Asiatic, with the, total dis
Icomfture Of The ether races, an6
probably driving them ultimately
through the same centuries of de
cav from which we are now open
| ing the door for him to emerge. -

+. wealth in the world, with his
strict economy and untlaggins

fpraiseworthy virtue; so bitter ha'
been his experience, through sue
cesiye generations of poverty, tha
it is only at the last punch h'
