A MANCHU MAN AND WIFE 
“China has struck the Manchu dynasty at its unlucky hour, when weakest, when at the 
lowest ebb of its imperial vitality, relative race strength, wealth, and influence. The Manchu 
dynasty and the Manchu race has been in a position of being slowly strangled by the Chinese 
giant” (see pages 1126 and 1135).
