BRYAN's VIEWS AS TO CHINA.
Would Protect American Citizens.
Slap at the Missionaries.

Would Protect American Citizens
Slap at the Missionaries.
A dispatch from Lincoln. Neb.. says: W.
j. Bryan gave out today the following
statement in regard to the situation in
China:
Every one deplores the destruction Of
life in China and is Mortified at the bar
barities practiced. Every one believes 1t
Is the duty of our government to protect
the lives and property Of American citizens
residing in China, and have no doubt that
the administration will do SO. I also take
1t for granted that all Americans will
withdraw from China or take refuge in
some seaport where they can be protected
by American ships until excitement is
over.
IF the Chinese government has tried in
good faith to protect our citizens, suitable
punishment for the guilty and reparation
and indemnity for those who have suffered
can doubtless be secured. If, upon inves-
tisation. it is found that the Chinese gov
ernment has not acted in good faith, Con-
gress has power to deal with the matter
For several years European nations have
been threatening to dismember China, and
II is not strange that their ambitious de-
signs should arouse a feeling of hostility
toward foreigners. That feeling, however,
ought not to be directed against American
citizens. and will not IL our nation makes
1t known that II has no desire to grab
land or to trespass upon the rights Of
China
"A firm adherence to the American policy
of justice and fair dealing will not ionly
set an example to other nations, but will
give to our citizens residing in China the
best promise of security 1t will be better
for our merchants to have 1t known that
they seek trade only when trade Is mutually
advantageous. 1t will be better for our
missionaries TO have 1t known that they are
preaching the gospel OF love. and are not
the forerunners Of fleets and armies"
