They have gained everything except part U.
the money which they demanded and a part Oh
the land; and they We're not fighting for either
money or land. They have before them at this
time more splendid opportunity for natonai
development than they have ever had before
That they will appreciate 1t and will improve 1t
their known character and record forbid us TO
doubt
One other result OF the and of the peace
making will also be apparent in the triumphant
establishment in China of the two American
principles Of territorial integrity and the open
door. The statesman who formulated those
principles and secured for them the professed
support of the powers has passed away; but his
work abides. 1t fell to another nation to vindi-
cate those policies with force of arms; but that
has now been done, and by the very nation
which, from tradition and from principle could
most appropriately do it. America made the
Japan of to-day possible by compelling the old
Japan to open her doors; and now the new Japan
opens the doors of China In behalf of America
and of all the world. 1t was largely to prevent
or to undo violation of those American prin-
ctples that Japan waged the war. One Of the
first and most important articles of the agree
ment for peace, now to be embodied in treaty,
is a recognition and establishment of those prin-
cipleS. In that sense the result of the war and
of the conference is an American as truly as q
Japanese triumph and when that fact Is con-
sdered, in connection with the circumstances
that the peace conference was held upon Amer
lean SOIL and was created and was brought to
a successful result by the personal Intervention
of the American President, it will appear that
In sober second thought America has at least as
much cause for rejoicing as any other nation In
the world

This conclusion is sound; for Swizerianu mas
less reason than any other country IN Europe
for provoking tariff contest with the Unlted
States Our trade relations with the mountain
renrblic are exceptional. With most OF the Eu-
ronean nations the balance of trade is greatiy
in our favor Taking the Continent as whole
our purchases in 10000 were S49S,6si,3iS'
while our sales amounted TO S1057, ,93o.l3l put
with Switzerland our sales are only about one
seventieth part of purchases. In lSVo-o VI
our imports from Switzerland were valued at
s19 534. .439. Our exports TO the little republic
were only S271 256. II is no wonder that fhe
Diet does not want to deny the benefit OF the
Swiss minimum tariff and hastens to oher us
without return all that fl grants Germany under
the new scheme of reciprocity.
But with Germany. though In a minor degree,
the same considerations will make for liberal
treatment of our imports. We have substan~
tial balance in our favor In the trade between
the two countries In 19O3-04 sold to Ger
many goods valued at s216.S41.S00, and bought
goods valued at S106, 900, ,600 but Of our exports
nearly twothirds are free or will suffer no
change of rate under the new maXimum-mini-
mum tariff Germany cannot tax American raw
materials further without crippling herself in
dustrially. Her dutiable goods coming here are
much greater in volume than the American goods
against which she is about TO enforce the new
maximum duties. Like Switzerland, therefore
she is likely from motives of selfinterest, to
seek an amicable readjustment of trade rea-
tions through which both countries will ulti-
mately profit

MOROCCOS HIGH HORSE.

Unpleasant fruits of the recent international
current news. The Sultan has ordered and eff
fected the arrest of a French Algerian mer-
chant who was seized at Meaina and taken to
Fez in irons This is direct and fagrant vio-
lation Of the treaty between France and Moroc-
CO, which provides that no action is to be taken
against a French citizen until reference is made
to the French government Demands for ex-
plantations and for the release of the prisoner
have been dsregarded. and now France is put
ting two warships in readiness to emphasize
those demands in about the only way appre-
ciated by the Moors.
1t is not for moment supposable that any
other power has deliberately melted Morocco
thus to fOut France. Yet there can be little
doubt that Morocco has acted so as a direct
result of Germany's Intervention between her
and France 1t has long been q favorite trick
Of some Mahometan powers to play off" one
European nation against another. Morocco
doubtless thinks she can thus play Germany
against France and that If she fouts France
she will have the support of Germany. In that
we have no doubt she will find herself mistaken
1t is however, pity that such a mistake, with
its unpleasant consequences, should arise The
true policy In dealing with such half -barbaric
powers would seem TO be to hold above them
such direct, concrete and individual coercion as
will afford them no opportunity for imagining
they can escape it by appeal to some rival au-
thority
