Free trade and sailors rights used TO be

But its different now. and though Mr. Wood
is doing all he can toward establishing free
trade by his tariff bill. which approxlmates 1t
as near as possible now. he receives no ass's'
tances from tho Virginia delegation ; and yet,
free trade is not only what Virginia and the

whole country, fer. by cheapening productions
it would increase consumption, and thus give
employ ment to the now idle labor.

some prominent persons 10 tho magenta room
of the White House with view to singing

who, having accidentally dropped his hymn
book with loud crash, made q remark, which
