PERRY'S MISSION TO JAPAN.
Frlendnlilp nnd Trndc Were "VVIiat
He Went to Secure.
The letter which Commodore Terry
bore from our government to tho mi
kado asked for a mutual treaty. Tho
original Instrument wns drafted in
May, 1851, by Daniel Webster, then
secretary of state, and was signed by
President Fillmore. There It rested.
In November, 1852, Mr. Webster's suc
cessor, Edward Everett, fished It out
of the departmental pigeonholes, took
It to pieces and refashioned It. Threo
copies were prepared and woro splon-
dldly engrossed In English, Dutch nnd
Chinese. These wore Inclosed together
in n sumptuous gold case, nnd to lnnko
tho whole presentment still more im
pressive to tho Japanese mind tho gold
case was enshrined in a cotter of rose
wood. The document Intrusted to Commo
dore Perry asked of tho Japanese court
two things, friendship nnd trade first
nnd foremost, friendship, for tho safe
ty of our seamen. Many a hapless
crew had boon driven Into UuMr ports
by storm or wrecked on their rocky
coast, escaping tho perils of the deep
only to bo welcomed by those truculent
Islanders to a dungeon or a cage ou
shore. This wrong must he stopped it
nil hazards. And If, in addition, w
could persuade Japan to enter lulu
friendly relations of trade the two
countries by mutual Interchange of
productions might each promote Itn
own prosperity and tho welfare of tin
other. It was thought that orientals
might see that as well as Yankees, in
the end they did. Hut It cannot bo
said that Japan any more than au
oyster over really yearned to be
"opened." Century.
