years. The American bill has
been enforced in all countries

been enforced in all countries
with absolute impartiality. The French
decree singles out the United States
from all other countries, and prohibits
its products alone, while the similar
products of the rest of the world are adj
mitted. The American bills make no
charges against the quality of the
product, whose importation they regu.
late or tax. The French decree is based
upon the indefensible charge, that the
American product excluded is unwhole-
some, though this charge has been
repudiated by the French academy of
medicine itself, and though this pro-
hibited and unwholesome product has
recently been crowned by the highest
prize of our own universal exposition.
''France is and has been for nine years
past the persistent aggressor; it has
absolutely prohibited the importation OF
an American product on indefehsible
charges. 1t still maintains this prohi-
bition in spite of the demonstrated facts
that nothing is thereby gained, either
for it's own consumers, or its own pro-
ducers, and the only appreciable effect
is to do injustice to a century old friend,
by openly discriminating against that
friend in favor of Germany, Italy, and
England.
''After such record, and in advance
of the slightest known movement to
amend it, how can France have reason
to expect, as your excellency indicates,
that its evidence of good will should
now be reciprocated by the United
States? He who seeks justice should
first do juctice." Much more should
that nation which seeks friendly con-
sideration for it's merchants, refrain
first from injustice to the merchants of
the country appealed to, and from the
defamation of that country's products"
After calling attention to an offer from
Washington to modify our customs bill
at the request of France, in regard to
appeals from cases Of alleged under
valuation, and stating that this friendly
action and removal of the duty on works
of art had passed unnoticed by France,
Reid concludes as follows:
From our point of view, then, the
case stands thus The French govern
ment has persisted for nine years in an
indefensible act, discriminating espe-
cially against United States commerce.
Meanwhile it complains of new laws by
the United States government, far less
severe and in no way discriminating
against French commerce. Its COM
plants receive prompt and considerate
attention, and the friendly disposition
thus shown evokes no recognition. 1t
cannot be believed that with full
understanding of the case, the French
government deliberately chooses that
attitude.
"Your excellency has been necessarily
much precipitated of late with other
matters, but cannot believe that when
you come to give the case full attention
you can be satisfied with it. Now, as
heretofore, make my appeal to French
friendllness, French justice, and / may
add, to an enlightened sense Of French
interests"

Even, if America possessed the excIu-
sive rights claimed, England would be
justified in resenting most strongly the
mode by which the pretension was made
good"
The article concludes thus: 1.-THE
position as it stands is not one that the
friends Of good will between the nations
can view, without misgiving.~
The Chronicle says, England and
America may have diferenced, but they
must remain friends. 1t hopes Blaine's
rejection of Salisburys proposals will be
only transient, as protest against the
apparent breach of faith on Salisbury's
part.

The European wheat Crop.

LONDON, August 15.-The TINES prints
reports from four hundred correspon-
dents throughout the United Kingdom
relative to the growing wheat crop.
From these it is estimated that the
crop will yield $50 bushels to the acre
on $3.50, 900 acres, giving net yield Of
5000, 900 quarters. 1t is also estimated
that the total yield of Europe will be
155, 200, 900 quarters, willie the amounts
consumed is put at It's, 600, 900 leaving a
balance to be drawn from America
and elsewhere of 100000 quarters.

Continued Success of the Palmer Com
pany at the Grand.


pany at the Grand.
Another large and appreciative audi
ence greeted the second performance of
Saints and Sinners" by the Palmer
company at the Grand last night. As
has already been stated, Mr.. Stoddart's
portrayal OF the sanity "Jacob Fletcher"
was simply perfect, and with such strong
support as was accorded him by Miss
Harrison in the role of LEFTY Fletcher"
it was an easy matter to lose sight of the
fact that the scenes he enacted were
unreal. Mr.. Barrymore as the gentle
manly villain divided the honors with
the two artists above mentioned.
AZ the matinee this afternoon the
laughable farce-comedy, ''Aunt Jack /"
will be repeated; while the engagement
will close tonight with "Jim the PEN
man" a play to which considerable local
interest is attached at the present time.

Uncle Sam Willine to Mediate.

WASHINGTON, August 15.--A dispatch
from Guatemala conveys the intelligence
that the belief obtains there that the de-
partment Of state instructed Minister
Miner to inform Guatemala and San
Salvadorjthat mediation of any European
nation between them, would not be re-
garded with favor by the United States,
but the question was one which called
for mediation by an American power, if
that method of securing the restoration
of peace was to be employed.
