CAUSE OF CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Movement Declared TO BE wholly
Due 90 IndixfdunIs Sof <aflo-

Movement Declared TO he who'll,
Due 20 Individuals, Not Nation.
No doubt the boycott was wholly due
to the stringeney Of the exclusion law,
but the paramount object OF the move
menf y 10 raise the Chinese r<~sple 10
IN equal footing With ally other people
in relation with the United States and
not for securing the actual economic
advantage Of exporting laborers to
America, says T. 7. Chang In the Re
view Of Reviews Il Is fsr national
right and dignity rather than for any
thing else There are. S4werer. more
Important points regarding this ques-
ton that should be carefully exam
iped; that is-first. the boycott has
never been authorized By the govern
nent; second. the boycott has never
been carried out with any forcibIe or
violent means
The government has done nothing
toward promoting the boycott On the
contrary. the Pekln authorities have
tried bard to advise the merchants 10
modify their disposition. But no gov
eminent In the world. however absolute
II may be, has power to compel its sub
jects to buy goods from a certain eoun-
try unless they are willing to do so.
No doubt this disagreeable movement
has been started by those who had per-
'onally suffered malfreatment under
he regulations Of the Chinese IrnmI-
grafton service Office. But there has
'een not the least sign Of violence or
oree.as the boycott has spread through
