When the exports of the United Kingdom in
1910 exceeded the imports by $24O, 623, $50, tn
mass of the working classes were sunk in
misery and suffering. Trade was dull, every
interest of that country was languishing. But
unrestricted intercourse was secured step by
step, and the results were seen in the imports
from other countries into England exceeding
the exports from England by 5000 523, $50, as
ing been turned in this direction every year
since 1854, now twenty years ago, England has
continued to increase in riches beyond all cal
culations, and this by process Of trading with
the "baIance of trade" ever "ssainst +" her,
which many of our American statesmen as
Dert ought 20 drive any country to destruction
and ruin. The growth of the total trade of
the United Kingdom, from $3.50, 66S $50 worth
OF imports and exports in 1S40-prior to unre-
strioted intercourse-up to 8 ,346 millions worth
OF imports and exports in the fiscal year of
1879, 10 somethipg almost incomprehensible.
When open intercourse was first proposed in
England, &c was combatted with the weak
argument Of ruin to the country. The same
argument ever SINCE and now, is urged when
ever similar proposition lie preached, although
the example Of England is just the reverse OF
everything of the kind prophesied against it.
The same result to tho United States, there is
every reason to believe, would attend q wider
and heer traffic with the nations of the world.
Commerce, manufactures and trade would ex-
pand rapidly and beyond any present coDcep-
tion OF what the country could accomplish.
employment would increase, wages would ad,
vance and land enhance in price. There would
be larger and wealthier population to pay
taxes, and the national revenue, like that of
england, would show q surplus every year,
instead of difficulties being found to make
both ends meet-

OF the first colored circle, cultivated. ac-
complished. and rich. Her parents OBJ
jected strongly to the match, but the
dusky maid was constant in her fidelity
to her handsome, clever lover, and final
ly her pleadings moved the obdurate
heart of her sire and the twain were
made one.
'Pinchback's star was now in the as
cendant. The war over, the slaves
emancipated and enfranchised, he be-
came q great political power. Ills influ-
ence over the ignorant blacks was al
most unlimited, and he really laid the
foundation of the Ring power, which has
been dominant in Louisiana since the
close OF the war. He discovered War
moth, who was an obscure municipal
judge, and attracted by his winning
ways and handsome personal appear
ance, as well as by his Intellectual pow
er, Pinchback determined to make him
the. leader of the Republican party in
Louisiana.
He suggested him as candidate for
"Delegate to Congress from the Terri
tory of louisiana" and instructed his
agents TO direct all the negroes not only
to cast their ballots for him, but also to,
contribute dollar apiece as an election
fund. Warmoth was elected and en-
thShSu op thO odiuS .
little scheme netted his friend about $4O,-
000. Warmoth came to Washington an d
spent the winter; but, as all remember,
the Territorial Delegates were not ad-
miited.
When the State was reconstructed
Warmoth was elected Governor. Pinch
back could have made himself Lieuten-
ant Governor, but he was not ambitious
of the honor. Hapreferred to be men,
Der of the Legislature. There was more
money in it, as well as more advantages
to him as a politician. He had his eye
even then on the United States Senator
ship. This was his ambition, and it is
not strange, therefore, that he should be
savage at his Radical friends deserving
him when he was about to pluck the long
coveted prize.
While In the State Legislature, Pinch
back was the captain-general of the job
bers. Every scheme that was brought
in had to receive his approval before it
could have the slightest show. Ofcourse
he made money rapidly. He certainly
made half million Of dollars while he
was legislator. 1t is admitted by
weli-intormed New Orleans people that
PinchbacRs property would be worth,
under favorable circumstances, fully
three quarters of a million. He has still
unlimited influence with the negroes,
Notwithstanding he has broken with Pack
ard and Casey.

A bold and unusually successful gang
of robbers has been broken up at Illi0-
polls, ILL.,, and some of the members have
made full confession. Among the band
are two men named Green and Crane.
Crane stole pair of mules and ran
them off to st. Louis. On his. return he
told Green where the mules were stabbed
and gave Green bill of sale Of them.
Green then went to the owner OF the
mules and told him he thought be could
find them. The owner had bills printed
describing the mules and commissioned
Green to hunt them up. Green took the
bills and starred for st. Louis. While
crossing the ferry he dropped the bills
in the river, went to the stable where
the mules were, obtained possession,
sold them, pocketed the money, came
home, told the owner that the mules
could not be found, "whacked up" with
Ben Crane, and then went off to his
Sabbath-school class with satisfied air.
F. The robbery Of cars and the depot at
Illiopolls became so frequent, and the loss
OF property SO extensive that Skecn, the
agent, consulted with Captain Green
who is his brother-'n-law) about hiring
II watchman--"of course you ought"
said Green, and straightway Green, Ben
Crane and others OF the gang were hired
vi NOluHbccEtu W w alCu Lne very pIGIl-
ises they were fobbing. The rotbing, uf
course. was stopped. Then Crane and
Green told Skeen she had spoilL it all by
telling constable that the depot was
watched. Ii he hadn't told the consta-
bic, they would have caught the ras-
calsI'
The boldest operation so far unearthed
is the one Tor which Mitchell Havenor is
held. Havenor and sam Dickinson Went
to Toledo and presented to the house OF
Hays il Co. certified bills of lading and
invoices for five cars Of wheat shipped
from llliopolis. The papers purported to
have been signed by sam. Skeen, the T.,
W. n W, agent. AS the transaction APP
peared all right, 5000 was advanced. In
a short time the forgery vas discovered,
and Hayenor was pursued and arrested.
sam Dickinson now conttSses that Green
forged all the papers.
On one occasion they stole lot of tim
othy seed from the cars at llliopolis, and
Ben Crane loaded it up, drove to Decatur,
and sold it for $153. On another occasion
Crane and some OF the "boys' broke into
Gilberts store at llliopois, got drunk,
and deliberately proceeded to eat an
oyster supper.
The gang had no regular "fence," the
proceeds Of each robbery being disposed
of as circumstances and occasion offered.
The officers are in possession Of facts
which point to the crlminality of several
other men in Sangamon county of very
respectable antecedents and associa- |
tions, and the indictments against the |
present parties will not be pushed until
the last one of the gang is caught
