Eleven Years of Free Trade.

The London Economist compares the export Hade
Great Britain, for the eleven years previous to
342 under the old protective system, with the same
mde for the eleven succeeding years under free trade,
nd shows that while the increase from 1881 to 1912
7ss 43O06, 1876 that from 1912 to 1853 has been no
sss than G2O,l20,7 66; and even if the sum Of Ell
100000 be deducted as being attributable to the gold
scoyerieS in Australia, there will still be an in
aease Of fI3 l2O,766 under England's recent
numerical policy" as compared with $4,000, 1876
hiring the same number of years prior to 1912
The total exports to foreign possessions range for
he years 1881, 1912 1853, as follows:

aa to foreign countries and British possessions:

Speaking of the bearing of these facts, which are
taken from 4 late return from the board of trade to
the House of Commons, upon the operation of the
navigation laws negotiated by MIR. Bancroft, the
London Economist makes the following important
aDd Instructive deductions:
But if we refer to what has been the case in rela-
bon 10 our North American colonies, which, it was
ouir ccnts SEED, depended for their existence main
upon navigation law and the high protecting
mites which their timber and corn enjoyed what do

Personal Sketches.

The correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
writing from Washington, thrs aludes to two of
the most prominent Senators:
Senator Butler is very peculiar looking man.
Although he is scarce 80 years of age, his hair,
whiehis very long and thck,is almost as white as
the paper ] write on. His face is generally very
red and when excited in speech, is, without ex-
aggeraton, not shade paler than turkeys gill.
His eyes are coal black and sointillatng and his
general activity gives the lie to his appearance
at II little dstance--of age. He is a great favor
lite at home, and wholly Independent in his man
ner and speech and in his good humored OK
ctement he often addresses the chair with Look
here" in lieu Of the usual parliamentary express
sion of "Alr. President"
Gen. Sam Houston is another peculiar individ-
ual lie sometimes appears in public with "A
blue conk lined with scarlet velvet, the collar
trimmed with gold ce,and few hours after may
be seen with Il coarse oyercoat and slouehed hat,
la sombrero looking like a sturdy backwoods-
man on star gazing visit TO the city. To day
he has on brown oyercoat, tbickly trimmed with
sable fur, and a vest made of genuine leopard's

looking man in the city, and excitos much curl

RUSSIAN PRIvATEERs FROM THE L. STATES
1t it insisted by portion of the press that
Russia is fitting out privateers in our ports, and
the German Democrat, published in Philadel-
phia, alleges that it has obtained from "a reliable
source the substance of the instructions issued
by Russia, to its agents in the United States
The instructions are said to be couched in thsee
terms:
1. Swift sailing vessels are TO be fitted out and
to be provided with all necessary articles; and
with more than the ordinary convenienees.
2. High wages are to be assured to enlistinc
seamen, and the engagement is to be made for
the Russian Naval Service"
B. To the more intelligent and reliable men,
who like to be of great utility but are averse
to enlisting, it is to be communicated that they
are sought for privateering purposes, promising
abundance of prize money. No pains nor money
must be spared to obtain capable and proper
men.
a. When all is ready the vessels are to pro-
coed directly to the Pacific, and remain at the
designated station in the East Indian Archpela-
go. New harbors of refuge and security must
be sought for, and every means be employed to
procure native and especially Malay pilots.
5. As soon as intelligence of the outbreak of
the war shall arrive, the commanding officers are
before all things, to Immediately cruise after
English trading ships to Australia.
d. From the prizes taken, only gold or other
easily slowed or portable articles are to be taken

A Washington correspondent of the New York

Intercourse. A curious scene, says he. took place
in the Senate yesterday. Notwithstanding the
severe exeoriation of Senators Seward and Sum
ner, by Mr.. Toombs, on the conclusion of that
gentleman's speech, they both went over to his
seat and shook hands with him, and Governor
Seward undertook to explain his conduct when

understood it,, The latter retorted upon him with
great severity and remarked that no person hold

ators Cooper and Wade, and the latter who is a
