"AMERICAN DIPLOMACY."
SAVE FROM 25 TO 50 PER CENT
THE
An English View of the Strength and
Weakness of Our Foreign Minis
ters. Saturdry Review.
American diplomacy succeeds bet
ter in great transactions than in
small. Unlike all other great pow
ers, the United States have no diplo
matic service or profession. Any
conspicuous politician of the domi
nant party may reasonably look to a
foreign mission as a legitimate re
ward of his service in Congress or
in the manao-ementof of elections.
One exception has been customarily
made in the selections of the Minis
ter to England. For many years
the holders of the office have, for
the most part, been personally emi
nent; and in the instances of Mr.
Everett, Mr. Motley and the pres
ent Minister, the American Govern
ment has justly estimated the per
sonal and social value of literary
distinctions. Mr. Adams, who repre
sented the republic during the whole
course of the civil war, displayed
judgement and ability not unworthy
of his hereditary claim to respect.
Mr. Buchannan, who was less ac
ceptable in this country than almost
any of his predecessors or successors,
was so considerable a personage that
he passed at one step from the Eng
lish Legation to the Presidency of
the United States. Although dip
lomatic intercourse with English
Foreign Secretaries is facilitated by
the use of a common language and
by similar habits of thought, the
place of American Minister in Lon
don is not always a bed of roses.
The tone of dispatches from the
Secretary of State is often so peremp
tory that it must be embarrassing
to communicate them to a friendly
government, and the unfortunate
diplomatist must be prepared to in
cur the candid criticism of Irish
Americans and of those who court
their favor. Mr. Lowell probably
appreciates at their just value de
monstrations that he is a sycophant
or traitor because he may not have
undertaken the impossible task of
protecting some assassin of ambig
uous . nationality from the gallows.
Although some able and accom
plished Americans have represented
the republic at other European
courts, especially at Madrid, indiffer
ence bot.Vj t0 personal fitness and to
diplomatic knowledge has often
produced its natural results. An
American Mii,ister at Naples once
shouted from fye Jeck of a packot a
personal defiant which he miucst
ed the hearer to transmit to tjie
King, becausjf in common with his
fellow pasyngergj ne had incurred
the Gxconuunjaajon Qf jie qUaran.
tine. During the civil war one Mr.
Cas&ius Y?lay, relative of the cele
brated statesman, reported to the
Secretiry cf State in a dispatch,
which, was afterward published by
tho department, an audience at
w11 the Emperor Alexander II,
addre.se,j him as jie paid, "in excel--Jrcjj
American." It may be doubted
whether a great nation consults its
own dignity by the choice of such
Representatives, but there is little
danger of results injurious to Ameri
can interests. More skillful diplo
matists discharge the function of
ofessional advisers in conducting
rternational discussions with dis
ssionatc courtesy; when serious
Terences are the subject of ne
gotiation, diplomacy is efficacious
only as it has force to its back. A
threat uttered by a litigant who is
able and willing to put it into exe
cution loses little or nothing of its
force because it may be rudely ex
pressed. The United States are
feared or loved by other powers,
without regard to the temper or the
manners of the ministers whom they
employ. A veteran English diplo
matist, giving evidence some years
ago before a committee of the
House of Commons, was asked by
Mr. Brfght, or by some member
holding similar opinions, why Amer
ican ministers were generally cara
ble and successful. He answered
that they were, for the most part'
exceptionally ignorant of their busi
ness. Their frequent success was
the natural consequence of the force
which would in case of need be ulti
mately at their disposal.
Nobody ever saw a dead dude.
Death goes around knocking out all
old men, decrepit old blind women,
helpless infants and feeble cripples;
but, we reckon when it comes to the
pinch he's kind of ashameI to strike
a dude. There are humiliating
depths of degradation from which
even death shrinks.

matters, all subjects being viewed from a
broad, liberal party standpoint and treated in
dependently, without regard or favor to per
sons or factions.
The news columns contain full and accurate
reports ot all matters at the capital, together
with general telegraphic news, special lette-s
from a larpe corps of correspondents at home
and abroad, reports Injing made without color
or bias, the sole aim and object being in every
case, from the smallest to thr greatest, to Rive
the facts in the most convenient ana attrac
tive shape for all classes of readers.
The editorial page is vigorously and uncom
promisingly republican; the news columns are
as unbendingly independent.
Much of the space of the weekly edition of
The Republican will be given up to the news
of the capital, but there will be in addition
carefully selected stories and miscellaneous
matter of general interest. Each issue will
contain
Full and careful reports of the proceedings
of congress when in session,
Appointments by the president.
Executive messages, and all interesting news
from tlR' executive departments.
Abstracts of all laws passed.
Treaties with Indians and foreign nations.
All information from the ottice of the comp

In short, Th Weekly Republican will con
tain a vast amount of interesting reading for
every citizen of the nation, which it will give
more fully and in greater variety than by any
other paper in the country. It will be a paper
which the readers of other weekly, and even
daily, papers will feel they cannot afford to
I' without. It is a paper for the people, and
will be found to be worth manv times the
price of subscription to the farmer, the me
chanic, the railway man, the banker, the nian
ulacturer, the politician in fact to everybody.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of This Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all I'm Sun printed aud sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common eense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
But Th Sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of Thb Sun during
the past year has spent only one hour oyer it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has af
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without faar of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news nil OTer the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be
lieves that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming: year of our Lord, 1SS4.
If you know Thi Sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during; what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know The Sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
