THE SULTAN'S REPLY.

The reply of the Sultan to the European
powers, that Turkey will not cease hostili-
ties before her conditions are accepted
may have been intended simply as claim
for damages which the Sultan does not
expect to obtain. but which may be used
as basis for exacting from the powers
much larger concessions than he could
have hoped for had he been more modest.
1t is a well-understood rule in diplomacy
as in law TO ask for a great deal more than
the plaintiff has right to obtain, for nc
man aver gets more than he asks ior; and,
on the other hand, by asking an excessive
amount good margin is offered tor de.
ductions and compromises.
Whether the Sultan intended this kind
of a bluff can only be definitely known
when the final settlement of the question
is made. He has at any rate put himsel
in position where he can treat with the
powers from a point of vantage. He re
tains for himself the right to continue the
march Of his victorious troops on Athens,
and throws upon the powers the RESPONSE
bility of continuing tue war by refusing to
accede to his terms. In doing this he
once more shows the diplomatic skill foI
which he has become noted and goes fal
to justify the assertion which has been re-
peatedly made since the outbreak of the
Armenian massacres that he is by all odd.
the greatest master of diplomacy now liv.
ing in Europe.
1t is not at all likely that his claims will
be admitted by the powers. The inuem-
nifty OF $40 000, 900 may be conceded, but
his further claim for the annexation oil
Thessaly to the Turkish empire can
hardly be seriously considered even by
his own advisers. The nations of Europe
have had too much trouble with Turkey
even In its present condition to give con-
sent to anything which Will strengthen
the empire and increase its wealth, popu-
lation, territory and prestige.
In some respects it is not bal thing
that the Sultan has made so large claim
upon Greece. It will serve to dispel the
Illusion that the Turk is a sic man who
exists in Europe simply by sufference. 1t
will make evident the fact that the Turks
are as am bilious and as aggressive as ever
and constitute continual menace to the
peace of the world. Those who fondly
believed that the Ottoman empire would
die of itself if it were left alone will havt
to revise their opinions in the light OF thi.
war and OF the high claims the Turks
have based upon it. 1t is apparen mt the
Ottoman empire is as ready as ever to ex-
tend its frontier whenever it has an op
portunity to do 50, and Europe instead O
having dying man on Its hands has con
fronting it powerful and dangerous fo
| to whom it cannot afford to make th
least concession or grant the slightest in
crease of power.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE,

A short time ago Consul Monaghan.
who represents the United States at
Chemnitz, Germany, in report to the
State Department asserted the American
people will lind little or no. market for
their manufactured goods in GERMANY.
and expressed the opinion that if our mer
chants would make the same effort to ex-
tend their trade in South America and in
Asia as they are now making TO extend
it in Europe ''the returns would be five
times as great"
Further reports from Germany not only
confirm the statement of Consul Mona
CHAN as affects manufactured goods, bu,
show that there is com mparatively little
prospect for trade with Germany even in
the food products OF this country unless
We can arrange some system OF reciprocity
which will induce the Germans to receive

American goods in their markets on ex-
actly the same terms that are given to
German goods in the United States.
We are told that in the kingdom
of Wurtem berg, the butcher who Of
United States must display upon his
shop sign bearing the words, inferior
American Meats for Sale Here" 1t will
be seen the adjective conveys TO the mind
of the consumer the idea that American
meats are of an inferior quality. Very
naturally the sale for them will be linn
tied and few dealers will care to carry
them IN stock while they are compelled to
advertise them in that way.
Saxony is another of the kingdoms of
the German empire where such restric.
tions are placed upon American goods as
make it almost i'm possible TO sell them.
We are told that the importer OF Amer
ican pork into that kingdom must first
pay the customs duty for ad omission to the
empire, then a duty for omission to tho
kingdom. next third duty of 81 cents
per pound for admission to the capital
city of Dresden, and finally a fee OF 25
cents per piece must be paid for inspec-
whether the piece weighs pound or q
hundredweight.
These examples of German restriction
upon the sale of American exports sutt-
GENTLY illustrate the difficulty which We
have to combat III building up trade in
that country to prove the truth of Consul
Monaghan's statement that we would find
larger and speedier profits if we directed
our energies toward expanding trade in
South America rather than in Europe.
They also make clear the importance of
those reciprocity treaties which were such
a notable feature of the administration OF
the State Office under James G.. Blaine
during the Harrison administration. We
import many millions of dollars worth
OF goods from Germany every year, and it
would seem that We are in posit ton to
say TO her she must accept either reoiproc-
ity or retaliation.
In the meantime whatever arrange
ments may be made with Germany our
merchants should not overlook the prom
ising field of South America. 1t is in the
countries of that continent rather than in
those of Europe that We must look for the
upbuilding of trade which will be bene-
fetal and profitable to all concerned.

Thefght over the tariff in the Senate

while retaining those of the Senate on

not clear working majority in the Sem
ate, genuine Republican tariff will be
impossible. We shall have to be content

that equal concessions are made on both
sides. We must not give everything for
