priDcipalies, we can scarcely believe ths& she will

Turkish government, and in opposition to the other
great powers which have guaranteed the integrity of
Turkey; and it seems impossible to submit TO the
pretensons Of the Russian government without sacr-

step. however, be taken by Russia. it would be diff

France. Belgium, Italy and the German States,
for they are more interested in prevent

this direction than England. We can see danger
TO encounter from Russia with regard ~ political
position; and in the present disposition OF Europe

the signal for general rising Of the people through

look in this direction for the spread OF political liberty
throughout Europe; the course OF the stream must
run in an opposite direction. lfEngand be destined
to fulfil her high mission by extension of the free
d,m which has raised her to her present lofty posi-
ton. she is bound to oppose with all her power the
aggressive policy Of a government which would be
dangerous to the peace OF all Europe.
We shall now glance at this question in a commer-
cial point of view, for that more particularly de-
mands our attention at this critical moment. The
Turkish empire has been described as utterly I'M
worthy of the consideration Of other European
powers, and that 1t must ultimately fall to pieces
through its own Inherent weakness but so far as
the progress Of commerce can afford any evidence
of improving industry, aud Of increased resources,
the internal and external trade OF Turkey gives the
most striking proofs of success And we may re-
mark that Of all the great corn producing countries
Of Europe which export their graiu TO England,
Turkey Is the only one which has met us in the
spirit Of reciprocity. 1t is estimated that our mpor
tatons Of foreign grain last year amounted to about
fl2 900 600; Of this quantity imported about
third is in the hands Of the Greek merchants, who
have almOSt the anfirn Of this hrnpch n Ia

export trace to Turkey has risen from f83s 654
In 1881, to f3 ,679 in 1850, showing increase
Of $50 per cent. The following is the official account

We have seen, then that Russia has not only re-
duced her impOrtati0Rs Of cotton twistfrom England
from twentyfOur million pounds per annum 10 three
and half Million but her imports Of cotton manu-
features from two to one and u halt million yards.
Now this capn0t arise from any hostility to Russia In
our tariffs because we Gdmit almost duty free nearly
all the raw produce she Is accustomed To export to
this country. IL Is because Russia is increasing her
own manufactures that she ceases to purchase OF
England; and we require no better proof than the
decrease shown above. Ii is also clear that the open
ing of ports to the free importation OF grain has
created no reciprocal trade between England and
Russia
If We examine the progress Of our export trade TO
Turkey, shall find that it presents totally differ
ent aspect. We estimate, and very natural way it
is the Value Of our commerce with foreign nations
by what IL exchanged between the two countries;
and we can scarcely find q better example than
that which Turkey Affords Having shown the in
crease In the total value exported TO that country
we may next examine it with regard to the manu-
acturcrs Of cotton. In 1881 We exported 24565 $50
yards; in 1886 IL increased to 4s,073, l03 yards in
1913 1t amounted TO s7779,l75 yards; aud In 1913
TO 1856 ITS yards: such IL the extraordinary pro
gress OF the expert OF cotton goods from this country
to Turkey, that the total value Of cotton goods
amounted TO no less than co ,53S In 1850; hence
Turkey holds most important conn ercial position
In the trade and commerce Of the United Kingdom.
In addition TO the exports Of cotton manufactures
by the yard, very large increase Ia shown in the
exports Of visit and yarn Tho quantity exported
in 1881 only amounted to l7s576 his, and in ls4s
il was La, Ol9, $50 lbs. We do not attach much I'M
portance to the expectation Of these articles because
they may be regarded almost the raw materials Of
manufactures, and imported chiefly by countries
which have not yet arrived at high degree Of man
ufacturing skill we have seen this result already
accomplished with regard to the export Of linen yarn
to France and 1t may be taken ~ . sure sign Of an
incrcase in the manufacturing powers Of nation
when it diminishes or ceases 10 import material
which can be produced in sufficient quantities BY
native industry
We see therefore, when we have compared our
commerce with Turkey with that Of Russia, that the
latter holds much less important place in our trans
actions than the former. Ask Manchester man
which is Of the most value In his estimation, Tur-
kikh or q Ruseian merchant There Is no doubt az
