76 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. IV.
And our second great right is that the British
Government and its subjects shall be allowed
equal participation in all the privileges which
may be granted to the Government or subjects
of any other nation.
Such are our rights, which it may be well to
`remember were only acquired after years of
negotiation, and after fighting more than one
war with the Chinese ; and which, it will be
noticed, are neither selfish nor exclusive. These
rights little as they are it is all important
that we should maintain ; that we should see in
future that no impediments are placed in the
way of the investment of British capital, and
that no commercial privileges which we at
present possess should be impaired. Man-
churia is not a Turkestan nor a Uganda nor
a Rhodesia. I t is an exceedingly valuable
country, with both present wealth and future
potentialities. The foreign trade with it is
already valued at three and a half millions
sterling, even with only one Treaty Port, and
that closed by ice for half the year, and with no
railways in the country. Of the 664,000 tons of
shipping the British flag covers 349,600 tons,
while the Russian flag covers 3,628 tons only.
