WAsHISsroN, June g. Eugene
Schuyler, Consul General at CONSTANT
nople, writes TO the State Department
that the public deb< Of Turkey amounts
to $927, ,000, ,000, the annual interest on
which is Sos, 000, 900, and 10 more than
half the total revenue of the empire.
The last annual budget published, thai Of
March. 1876, showed deficit of 81, ,000,-
600. Unless great reforms sre speedily
introduced INTO Turkey, and care given
to the development Of Its natural re-
sources, not even the present amount OF
taxes can long be raised. There will DO
an additional deficit each year, and -
Turkey henceiorth will be precluded from
borrowing money outside, financial ruin
Of the country seems inevitable.
