his closing remarks, in which lie scouts
the idea that Russia would in any case
permit the establishment of free gov
ernment i'm Persia, because she KNOWS
that democracy in Persia would radlate
hateful democratic influence into RUSSIA
itself "Autocracy loves autocracy,' and
therefore las long as Carbon is what 1t

Confirmation of that plausible theory
is found in Finland where Russia has
been unrelentingly trying TO suppress
the free institutions TO which that grand
duchy is entitled for the confessed rea-
son that they would have the effect, II
tolerated there. of arOusing demand
for the same in the adjacent provinces
of Russia and in Bulgaria and S%yla,
where Russian influence for thirty years
has been cast against all liberal policies.
SO in Persia Russia has objected to the
presence and services of Mr.. Shuster,
nartly because he was making Persia
solvent. and therefore strong ana better
able 70 resist external pressure and az
gressions. and partly because he was an
American. imbued with American IDEAS
of self-government and was therefore
likely TO promote the growth Of demo-
cratic ideas in Persia. So long as Per
sia was under government almost as
despotic and illiberal as her OVID Russia
was content that she should be lnde-
pendent. II was when Persia began to
throw off the incubus Of Shahdom and to
develop ideas of constitutionalism and
self-government that Russia found il
necessary TO meddle with her affairs.
The logical outcome of it will be the
transformation of Persia into another
