There are many reasons to suppor'
this policy of exclusion within GER
tain defined limit, but if the United
States is to have the trade OF the 400,
100000 Cinnamon our merchants must
be permitted to visit the United States
in the way of trade and barter. From
the present outlook there Is little douD
that Chinese and American Statesmen
will get their heads together and come
to an amicable agreement concernln!
the visits and residence Of merchants
This Is necessary in order that the
United States may reap the fruits O.
her noble political policies,
1.-THE adaptiveness of the Americans
is the characteristic which struck M
most favorably. You have no govern

for years Suddenly an emcrgenc.
arises. You want a president, an EN-
bassador, lawyer to appear before
some great international tribunal Yol
have no class trained and selected TO
such occupations, but the people al
ways get the man they want, and III
performs his duty we'll. Mistakes hay,
been made, of course. Mistakes hay,
been made in England also, and ther,
they have a ruling, trained class. Prob
ably the United States has made fewe
grave mistakes than any other nation.

American springs from the almost uni
