[Rhode Island – Revolutionary War – State Debt] Richmond, John W
TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! / Who love HONESTY and TRUTH
Providence Rhode Island: N.p. 1847. Broadside measuring 18 x 13 inches folded with damage to right margin somewhat stained with a few very small wormholes. Excellent. TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! Who love HONESTY and TRUTH written in 1847 by John W. Richmond deals with the repayment of Revolutionary War debt. In 1846 lawyer Wilkins Updike published a book titled History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island in which he alleged that prominent men of Rhode Island were making essentially fraudulent claims that Rhode Island still owed them money for Revolutionary War loans. The basis of the dispute which was widespread in the postwar US was whether the debts should be repaid in specie or paper money; in 1786 Rhode Island legislators mandated creditors to accept paper money as payment. On Updike’s account the “dead debt was afterwards resuscitated by political legislation†prompting those with financial means to purchase the debt “for comparatively nothing and have and are now endeavouring to defraud the honest yeomanry out of it†by having it repaid in specie.1 In turn Richmond’s broadside accuses Wilkins of corrupt behavior for both denigrating the reputation of these purchasers and for neglecting to mention several settlements for payment of interest on these debts by the government of Rhode Island indicating that the debts were in fact owed and not fraudulent. Richmond who saw Wilkins as calling for a repudiation of the state’s debt calls him a “man so far degraded in his moral sensibilities†“self-disgraced†with his own “evident depravity†“pitiful†“miserable†and “unprincipled†a man “who knows no true open manly and honest course but vainly hopes by his corrupt acts to ride into political power.†<br /> <br /> The severity of this issue for Richmond led him to leave the state in disgust; his headstone in New London Connecticut tells that he was “unwilling that the remains of himself and family should be disgraced by being a part of the common earth of a Repudiating State.†We find eleven copies of TO THE MEN in OCLC.<br /> <br /> 1 Wilkins Updike History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island N.p. 4. N.p. unknown

Curiously although the South Manchuria Railway between Harbin and Port Arthur had been fully completed by the time of the war's outbreak and publication of this map the line north of Kaiyuan appears to be marked as incomplete perhaps indicating an asymmetric spread of knowledge regarding the railway's progress among British cartographers. <br> <br>Also shown are inset maps of central Beijing the area around Guangzhou as well as the Southeast of England to the same scale for comparison. A line map of the area between Beijing and Tianjin is included on the reverse of the upper cover. . George Philip & Son. unknown

FIRST EDITION BOUND FROM THE ORIGINAL PARTS REPLETE WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND MANY VERY FINELY COLOURED AND HIGHLIGHTED IN SILVER AND GOLD. The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 which began with the Japanese naval attack on Port Arthur had repercussions throughout the world. Germany had helped to nudge both powers towards the war and had also managed to alienate both belligerents. She had used tremendous diplomatic pressure against the Japanese to force them to relinquish Port Arthur to the Chinese who then leased it to the Russians. Simultaneously the newly emerged nation of Japan was training its army officers in Germany. German involvement in the conflict led to war scares with both France and Great Britain causing Germany to quickly arrange an unwanted international conference at which they found themselves distrusted and isolated.<br> The war ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth arranged by U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt. The Russo-Japanese War won for the U.S. a place at the table of superpowers and a new respect in world diplomacy but for Germany it earned nothing but suspicion. In August 1905 the future chief of the general staff Helmuth von Moltke noted in his diary that "all the other nations are pretty well united in reviling Germany. They all assert that we are disturbing the peace."' Even Baron Friedrich von Holstein the chief architect of foreign policy from 1890 to 1906 admitted the bankruptcy of German diplomacy. "In short" he wrote to a friend "in the present atmosphere it seems to me that the correct and dignified thing to do would be to act like Russia after the Crimean War and calmly to withdraw into ourselves."

However due to rising wartime costs Japanese negotiators settled for a free hand in dominating Korea as a protectorate and leasehold in Southern Manchuria. Anti-peace riots broke out after a large rally in Hibiya Park Sept. 5 1905 and quickly spread for three days with 17 killed 311 arrested and 70 percent of Tokyo’s police boxes substations destroyed along with 15 streetcars.

At the time the Russo-Japanese War fought over the Russian and Japanese Empires’ imperial ambitions for Manchuria and Korea was nearing its end. Uyeda had been on the front; in his earlier postcard he writes:<br /> <br /> “May 5th 1905 I left the front at the end of March after the great victory around Mukden and have been back to Tokyo for sometime. I congratulate myself that I was fortunate enough to come back to the country at this glorious season of all sorts of beautiful flowers. The people too are enjoying the seasons as if there is no such terrible thing as war. They are having picnics every day. I will leave the country for the front within a short time. Kyo.â€<br /> <br /> Mukden—present-day Shenyang Liaoning province—was the site of the war’s final land battle fought from February to March 1905 and resulting in a decisive victory for Imperial Japan. In his second postcard Uyeda is set to depart for another significant location in the war:<br /> <br /> “I will leave here for Port Arthur to-morrow and having stayed there a day or two and coming back here am probably to go to our Headquarters at Mukhden to attend to the annual celebration of the day in which our Manchurian Expedition Army organised that is on the 6th of July 04. I expect a grand time there Marshal Oyama Gen. Baron Kodama Gen. Kuroki and many other grand chieftains will assemble at the Capital of Manchuria.â€<br /> <br /> Port Arthur now Lüshunkou District in Liaoning province China was seized by the Japanese in 1894 during the First Sino-Japanese War; returned to China in 1895; and then leased in an unequal treaty by the Russian Empire in 1898. Japan’s surprise attack against the Russian fleet at Port Arthur launched the war in February 1904 and resulted in Japan retaking the port.<br /> <br /> Uyeda’s notes are written on interesting themed postcards depicting the Imperial Japanese Navy; one reads “Our Combined Squadron steaming towards the enemy†and the other “Our torpedoboat squadron returning to a naval base after fighting with the enemy.†How Uyeda and Mulkey would have met and begun a correspondence is unclear. unknown
