"A Chinese essayiSt thus describes
the American people; "They live
months without eating a mouthful OF
rice; they eat bullocks and sheep in
enormous quantities; they have to
battle frequently; the men dress all
alike, and, to judge from their APP
pearance, they are all coolies; neither
are they ever to be seen carrying a fan
or an umbrella, for they manifest their
ignorant contempt for these insignia
OF gentleman by leaving them en-
uIely to women; none of them have
finger nails more than an eighth of
an inch long; they eat meat with
knives and prongs. they never enjoy
themselves by sitting quietly on their
ancestors graves, but jump around
and kick balls as it paid to do it, and
they have no dignity, for they may
be found walking with women"

money question and war revenue tax.
