To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the day when an imperial edict is issued sanctioning the construction of railways it will be manifestly our desire to strengthen ourselves, and the life and energy of our country will in- stantly be roused. This intelligence will startle those countries; and while, in the first place, we shall find it easier to agree to the terms of a treaty with Eussia, on the other hand the insidious designs of Japan will insen- sibly disappear.
" Some time in the current year, the Viceroy, Li Hung-Chang,... memorialized the Throne praying for the sanction of a telegraph line to be laid along the coast.
MEMORIAL FAVORING RAILWAYS 125 Telegraphs are one of the essential requirements in the operations of an army, and if constructed as auxiliaries to and in conjunction with railways, there will be a* large saving in expense, as well as increased facility of super- vision. If any difficulty be encountered in raising the requisite funds for the construction of railways, and doubts arise as to our inability to proceed with the work, your slave thinks that the plan of inviting contributions from the mercantile classes is not unworthy of considera- tion; but if this plan be infeasible in consequence of the wide dispersion of these classes, the contraction of a for- eign loan is the only plan worthy to be considered, if there exists a desire to avail ourselves of the present time for the construction of railways.
