as an act of thoroughly Asiatic barbarity.
Here are few historical facts. Since the
wear 1000 A. D., the Coreans have sent an
annual embassy to the Chinese Emperor to ,
express their respect and loyalty. Every |
ten years they have sent valuable presents, |
and have had the privilege of bringing their |
merchandise with them free of customs
duties. China has never exercised her right
as Suzerain over Corca, has asked nothing
but nominal adherence, and has left the
Coreans to manage their own internal at
fairs. This is the policy of China with all
her dependencies. Never was there more
generous or paternal Overload than the
Chinese Emperor. His distant subjects
never care to leave his mild sway, and even
whole nations of nomads have sought his pro-
lection rather than to submit to English or
Russian control Strange as it may seem,
the Ghoorkhas, natives of Nepaul, British
subject-state, send an occasional embassy
to Picking, desiring to keep up the friendly
relations which existed when they were
subject to China. Now this very kindness
has been source of weakness to the varl-
Gus fefs of the Chinese Empire. Hiding
safely nuder the strong arms OF the
Chinese Emperor, they have not ceased
to fleece their people to enrich them
selves. There is no land under the sun lat
