The right of education has been denied them; tfieir bouses have repeatedly been attacked and their property destroyed without the least cause or provocation, with the result that not only have the treaty right of the Japanese been wan tonly disregarded, but their persons and property also have been exposed to ser ious danger. "It is to be extremely regretted that such unfortunate incidents should be allowed to occur so frequently, as it is feared that, unless they are speedily stopped, the ill-feeling which our coun trymen are now constrained to harbor -for the people of a single section in America may eventually have an un happy effect upon the development of the commercial relations of the two na tions, for while the United States ia a pood customer for our natural products, Japan is also increasing her demand for American goods, and promise to be come one of the most important mar kets for your ever-expanding and prosperous industries. Should the progress of trade end commerce between the two nations be come obstructed as the result of the unwarrantable action of a small sec tion of your population, the loss sus tained by the two countries would be incalculable. "We therefore venture to address you and express our views on the situation, confident in the hope that they will be shared by you and that you will, con sidering the matter on the right princi ples of national intercourse and the mu tual advantages of trade relations, do VMir 'Kpflf. tn HnAAitilv nlfmtnafik 4a w... w -'V v.. ...., present causes of discord and to insure our common prosperity for the future."
