A CHINESE EXPLANATION OF THE
RECENT BOYCOTT.
No doubt l lie b l solely
n stringency of the
ion law; but the paramount object
of the movement is to raise the Chi-
people to an equal footing with
any other people relation with the
United Slates, and not for securing
the actual advantage of ex-
porting laborers to America. It is
for national right and dignity rather
than for anything else. There are,
however, more points re-
this question that should be
carefully examined; that
the boycott has never been author-
by the government; second, the
boycott never been carried out
with any forcible or violent means.
The government has done nothing
toward promoting the boycott. On
the contrary, the authorities
have tiled hard to advise the mer-
chants their disposition.
But no government in the world,
however absolute it may be, has
power to compel subjects to buy
goods from a country unless
they are willing to do so. No doubt
this disagreeable movement has been
by those who had personally
suffered under the ex-
law, or, rather, under the
regulations of the Chinese
Service Office. But there has
been not the least sign of violence
or force as the boycott has spread
through several It is
purely a voluntary action of
So long as there is no dis-
of peace, con-
a movement by
any civilized country of the world.
It is a commercial design, and not a
warlike scheme. It is an individual
action, and not it national policy.
There is, therefore, no good ground
anon which the recent alarming
news could be supposed to have
