LONDON, December 29.--The Times

"The announcement that the sultan

quickly than by the shock of battle.
The sultan has taken the only course
consistent with o calm view OF what
the war has already done, and what 1t
must do II it should last much longer.
The circular to the powere showed that
the peace party OF the porte mad for a

with Canadian burdens, and these taxes are una

the price of labor. With reciprocity the manu-

Perhaps it may; bat we believe that for
every bond thus sold ip order to make
speculation possible on the decreased
prices of European securities another bond
of the United States will be bought 10 hold
by the investor who cannot tell what is to
become of any European security when
a general war comes. However that may
De, the advantage we will derive from
simulated commerce and industry will
greatly outweigh any disadvantage that
is possible. For four years we have sui
fered from facts that were consequent up
on the waste of war in our own country.
Now we shall have the waste of war on
the other side of the slate. Whole popu-
lations Withdrawn from the fields and
workshops will make a market for our
grain and other products and for our man
ufactures, especially of war material.
Hence must come good prices. plenty Of
money and solid prosperity to the whole
people such as they have not seen for half
