you are dolui: ihi nobly My country,
my nation, including fin fifty million
people have been iMthiug in the nhowers
of your kludnoM nml geticronity for
n toux time.
Since fifty years nun the American
Coitiunidore I'erty went over, nml
iinene I Inn for the rest of the world
bow much do we lo yo? fann
wat a liiixl of a liaby, then. She did not
know what to do. It wm votir country
which iua the firnt and fair treaty
with Japan. Then the advitetl hi, and
Axed the cuttoni duties at a fair rate.
The JatMitete government believed from
beginning iu the sincerity of yonr coun
try, and whenever anything hpjcned
with any other country, the Japan kov
ernment first lakeil with the American
minister, and atkrd him what to do,
and bw to do.
In the development of material civili
ati4)i) we had n Krent aid from your
country. Iu the development of edtica
lUm and democratic ideas which are
the most important MrU of the real
civilisation, you have helped us to a
threat extent. America xnt us many
HiiMtonarie. America cttahlished
many colleges nml schools in Jaian.
They lucateil the many Japanese,
many of whom have since become prom
inent men.
Moreover, a large number of Japanese
was educated iu your Country vlio re
Umiwl to lanau. and cducatci their
eop1e. A large uumlicr of the Japan
ese is now iu American schools; many
of them are carcil for, by American
fnmilics as their own sons.
Then It is miitc iilaln since Americans.
hne done nml arc iloiui' so much for J
the cdticntlon of the Inpancse, that her
democratic Ideas would thus be poured
into the hearts of the Japanese a ureal
lent
Imlr'.d, America did a great deal In
every way for Japan. We owe very
iniicii to your country. Aim noininj;
will explain plainer and shorter thnn
wiiat my irieuu iiuimie A-Ki-ia siys,
"America is the mother of lapan." It
is a belief nuipng us, that if c had not
the muthcrly America probably wc
could not make sucn rapm progress in
half a centurv.
In the latest u'tiMlan war while
America mantaiiihn:.n strict neutrality
she aided my country so far as she
could, both materially and morally.
Wc nrc i-ratcfnl tto yonr country. Our
ho-uus swell villi thsukfulncss See
what a strong moral influence America
lias in Japan. lie American minister
OriiKUiu, who is, I think, now the am
bassador to llraall, had a ureal reputa
tion among the Japnue3 Mud cut circles.
HeiiMMlto l'O from collcre to colleue
sneaking to students. lie would rattier
Ik called l'rof. Grinmn. Dr. Harris,
who is called "the father of the Japan
ese" in America and who presides oer
all the Methodiat churches iu Japan nml
Korea, is welcome even by Itudhlsta.
What did rjriuli I-to, the author of the
Milanese constitution, many times the
nrime minister nnd now the real ruler
of Korea, sav when he was starting for
Korea? "What I want to do Iu Korea
is what Dr. Harris and George Kenunu,
(the famous American writer) have sug
gusted to me." You may not know in
the very diplomatic department of the
Jukiiiohc government there is nu Auieri
onn pdvlscr who has wrved for nliout 36
years.
Awl even very simple, unlettered old
faimem, who listen oauurly to their edu
cated miii'h nml griimlMurs wonderful
talks, will toll you that thuic is a coun
try called America who is always kind
to their country.
Since the two wmntrlo arc friumlly
conueetud by " glorious ti, if aii
trouble may happen, it will be settled b
iHith governiuculif, with n uood will, ami
liy a peaceful moans. Thu Jaj,iiieso
Boserumeut is always trying to promote
tlie mutual fueling, nnd nut to hurt the
American interest and the American
sentiment. One is not allowed by the
Kon'rmueut to couio over here to Ameri
ca, if lie has money enough, uulesn.ho is
u uriidiuitc of a liigh school, or any
other M'hool corresppudlug to it, and he
belongs to well-to-do family, nud his
iR'isoiwhty is good and pure, which the
Kov eminent sees through jhiIIcu.
AtHiut two mouth ago, when the
jupdiiese traiuiug siiuatlrou was expect
rd to Mtil over, ami visit Auiericau ports,
what did the Japanese here say? They
wne anxious to weleotile the glorious
hIiIim'uiuI men from home, hut since the
iiuesliun iu San lTanen.eo was still un
settled, that would noj. he u good tliuu,

Klght nftcr the IloxeJ- war-, whe'rl
Chinn ws brought lo the Tate of being
divided mouc the ixjwer, it was Great
Britain, the United Sutcs and Japan,
who cried together that "apau must be
ircscrwil as she Is." When the Anglo
apaiicc alliance was organized wc bc
Icved America could not join it only be
cause of the nature of her institutions.
Those talks, that Japan wants war with
America Ik-oi'isc she wants to jjet Hawaii
and Philippines bccauM: she wants to con
trol the Pacific ocean for herself are all
foollrh and absurd. Just one year ngo
there were muiiv rumors which raid.
Japan wanted to purchase the Philippine;
nnd now they say, Jnau wants to get her

If Japan hnsniiynmbltiou on American
territory, which rightly belongs to licr,
tueujnpnn will ic a robber. II Japan
wants to control a highway ocean, for her
selfish puriose, which must be used for
the good of the world at lnrge, she will
be a roblcr, too. Whatever excuses she
may make, she cannot be better at all
than a robtjcr. Will Japan when it is
her time lo try hard to promote her civ
Miration, to tr to be understood thor
oughly throughout the world, thatl
the Japanese are a peaceful and right
eous nation; when it is her duty to fix up
the wound iu the hearts of her widows
ami orphans which stilt hurt; when her
people are iMtirntly paying the same
heavy taxes a thoe at the time of
war, lie preparing for a robbery war
against the most righteous country, to
to whom site owes so much, ami where
man) men, papers nml religious Indies
are all her true syuiMthixcrt? Oh, it is
horrible even to think of it!
When I am writing this I am think
ing of onr book "L'ncle Tom's Cabin."
Once I read it, ami I wept. Truly the
power of kimlpess and sympathy from
the very bottom of a human heart are so
strong. Jtvon that cold nud dreary
heart of the negro girl tochefl with the
liuruhig lips U that dying, little, angel
ic UvsiiKfliue' America has done more
than Itvn. Is Japan still indifferent' I
she a Hone? Hut. you know- the lion
cits did not forget her benefactor.
Why is it then, that some pacrs Utile
of a war so mnch? Hut do not let rue
jmlge them. I.nit Christmas time, a
certain paper hi Seattle, that hail been
writing on war-topics, appealed to its
readers to snbsCribe money for the
Christmas presents for those kept In an
asylum. When finally it got f 180 from
the Japanese, while f 110 from the Amer
ican, how it praised the Japanese
which they did not deserve!
Thus far I wrote. I do not know'
whether I tumlc, you convince that there
would never Ik a war between the two
couutriesor not. Those papers have
had suci a great influence on you, and I
am but a poor, miserable stranger-boy;
for his cries who pays many considera

war, If I be allowed to join the Ameri

Do not let ns repeat the same history)
with that of the nineteenth century,
when crimes were committed under iv

when will a war cease? If the two couu--trics

is humanity? Chriit ever lives iu our
hearts; not only lwcnuse he is the sou of

died for those who hntc him. Man is
not born to enjoy selfish fortune, hurt
ing his neighbor' happiness. He is
horn entirely to do good nnd work for
another. Nations should have to. do so,'
nud then no doubt wars will forever
extinguish. All of us must dfe Wore
