TURKISH ATROCITIES.
The Armenian Question Has the
Same Hideous Aspect

At the outset of reference to the
more important matters affecting our
relations with foreign powers, it would
afford me satisfa ctiOn if 1 could assure
the congress that the disturbed condi-
tiOn in Asiatic Turkey had during the
past year assumed a less hideOus and
bloody aspect and that either as a con-
sequence OF the awakening OF the Turk
ish government to the demands of hui
name civilization or as the result of de
cisive action ON the part of the great
nations having the right by treaty to
interfere for the protection of those ex-
posed to the rage of mere bigOtry and
cruel fanatiCism, the shocking features
of the situation had been mitigated.
Instead. however, of welcoming a
sOftened disposition or protective inter
VentiOn, we have been afflicted by con
tinued and not infreQuent reports of the
WautOn destruction of homes and the
bloody butchery of men. women and
children, made martyrs to their profess
sion of Christian faith. While none of
our citizens in Turkey have thus far
been killed or wounded, though often in
the midst of dreadful scenes Of danger,
their safety in the future is by no
means assured Our government at
home and our minister a Constantine
pie have left nothing undone to protect
our missionaries in Ottoman territory
who constitute nearly all the individ-
uals residing there who have a right to
claim our protection on the score of
American citizenship.
Our efforts in this direction will not
be relaxed but the deep feeling and
sympathy that have been aroused
among our people ought not to so far
blind their vision and Judgment as to
lead them to demand impossible things
The outbreaks of blind fury which led
to murder and pillage in Turkey occur
suddenly and without notice. and an at
tempt on our part to force such a hos
tile presence there as might be effective
for prevention or protection would not
only be resisted by the Ottoman gov
ernm ment. but would be regarded as an
interruption of their plans by the great
nations who assert their exclusive right
to intervene in their own time and
method for the security of life and
property in Turkey.
Several naval vessels are stationed in
the Mediterranean as a measure of eau
ton and to furnish all people RELIEF and
refuge in case of emergency We have
made claims against the Turkish gov
Of missionary property a Harpoot and
Marash during uprisings those places.
Thus far the validity of these demands
has not been admitted though our min
lister although prior to such outrages
and in anticipation Of danger. prOtec-
tiOn was demanded for the persons and
property of our missionary citizens in
the localities mentioned. and n0tWith-
standing that strong evidence exists of
actual completely by Turkish soldiers

claims, and nothing viii be omitted to
bring about their prompt settlement A

Our recently appointed consul to
ErzerOum is at his post and discharg-

some unaccOuntable reason his formal

the present somber prospect in Tur-
key Will be long permitted to offend
the sight of Christendom. It so mars
the humane and enlightened civiliza-
tion that belongs to the close of the
nineteenth century that it seems hard
ly possible that the earnest demand of
good people throughout the Christian
world for its corrective treatment viii
ramain unanswered.

DANIEL MANNING was a pretty good
Democrat, and he said in 1885, while
Secretary Of the Treasury:
"A large proportion Of our iooTking-
men Of mature years hare had an in
stractiUe experience that lOuUeriHg the

der Of payment for their ,oages is a
IoUeriR0 that is compensated to every-
body else before compensation reaches
them. II is loiUering that lifts the
prices Of all commodities before it lifts
the rates Of their UGges. A cheaper
dollar for the wOrkingmen of the United
States means poorer dollar. The
daily wages of our workingmen and
workingwOmen are by far the largest,
by far the most important aggregate Of
wealth to be affected by the degradation
Of the dollar or by any legal tender
equivalent of the dollar. All other
aggregates Of wealth, the accumula-
lions Of capitalists which can only OBJ
tain profitable use by being turned over

the employment Of captains Of their
industry, all other aggregates Of wealth
which remain unemployed In the pay

all who survive TO the age of 70, one out
Of every three" is pauper. Death at
middle life is better than old age. Yet,
even then, a pauper's grave is the lot OF
one out OF ave. No amount OF accumu'
lated wealth conferred in the hands Of q
few can compensate Nation for such a
condition OF the masses. A vast com
merce, inDumerable ships visiting every
harbor in the world, are dumb and
speechless as expressions OF National
growth and prosperity, when the harbors
from which they are sent and the coun-
try whose nag flies at their masthead are
fostering with restitution and despair.
The loud boastings Of the champions of a
policy under which such conditions exist
cannot long drown the voice Of multi
tudes pleading for work.
